The News of the Churches.
Rev. d. NJ. Moser, who for nearly
fourteen years has been pastor of the
Lutheran Church in Shepherdstown,
left with his family on Thursday OF
this week for their new home in
Schuylkill Haven, Pa, Mr.. Moser
having accepted a call to be pastor OF
the Lutheran Church at that place.
Mr.. Moser preached his last sermon
here last Sunday morning to a very
large congregation. 1t was a trying
ordeal to him, and an unpleasant ex-
perience to the congregation, to sew
er the ties that had bound together
pastor and people so pleasantly and
so long. At the close of the service
many of the members said their last
goodbye to Mr.. Moser, from whom
they parted with many expressions
of regret. He and his family will be
followed by the prayers and good
wishes Of his people here. We trust
that they may like their new home
and that their paths may be laid in
pleasant places.

uously occupied one pulpit longer

the Rev. DR.. Fairness, of Philadel-

The jail Inspected
Judge Faulkner having appointed
a committee to inspect the Jail, re-
ceived the following report:
To Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner:
Having been appointed committee 10 In
spect the Jefferson county jail, and having
performed that duty, we beg leave To make
the following report:
The Jail proper Is q two-story brick build.
Ing with q corridor ~ feet inches long by 8
feet inches wide and three cells, III feet ~
inches by feet inches, on each floor. The
cells OH the first floor are perfectly secured;
those on the second floor are not so. We
find the sanitary condition OF the jail good
but we believe ii could be improved by the
addition of "a bath room and the adoption OF
the dry earth-closet instead OF the ceSs-pool
now i'll use. There Is every reason TO be-
lieve that the jailOr has been diligent In the
performance OF his duties during the last
month. The facilities for heating and ven-
tllating the cells are excellent, and the
prisoners are made comfortable.
