Church at Johannesburg, Pa. DR.
Weigle is q graduate of Pennsylvania

by aspirants for pedagogueship to
questions asked at the recent ex-
animation of teachers in Point

a matter which should have been
simple enough to anyone below the
average in intelligence, owing to
the attention Her Majesty has at
tracted throughout the civilized
world, because of the recent dia-
mond JUBILEE. The answer was:

told on young and old lawyers, and
Judges as well, until late hour.
Capt. Parsons was there and joined
in the hiliarity. One of the best
was on old Judge Joe Smith, de-
ceased, who was an inveterate
tobacco chewer and weighed some
where about 300 pounds, who used
to preside in this circuit. The
Judge was layman in his church
and often at the close of the ser
vices would announce to the con-
gregation when the next would be
held in such gruff and awkward
way, that lady accosted him one
day, telling him he should be more
proper and polite, and that he
should announce at the close OF
meeting that upon such and such
a night divine" services would be
held in the church. The Judge
thanked her kindly and promised
to give the announcement as she
dictated. According at the close
of the next meeting he arose and
announced, Brethren and sisters

It is a remarkable fact that two
of the most important cases tried
at the sittings of the Circuit Court
last week resulted in "hung juries. -
1t is all the more noticeable, &C
cording to the experience of law
yers, because if there is a hung jury
in the first case tried at a session
the probabilities are that the ex-
ample will be followed by the next,
and sometimes by all succeeding
juries until the end of the session.
This popularity is also noticeable
in the cases presented by prose
cutting attorney for county or a
State. If he succeeds in getting a
verdict in the first case he will gen
orally succeed similarly in all; but.
if on the contrary, the verdict goes
against the proecuting attorney in
the first case he will find remark
able difficulty in securing convic-
ton in those that follow.

Rev. A. G. Grinnan returned to
the occupancy of Christ Church
pulpit yesterday after his summer
vacation and vas assisted at the
morning service by Rev K.
Fenton, of Lorenz. w Va who
preached a most beautiful sermon
from portions of 21st. 22nd and 23rd
verses of the srd Chapter of st.
Paul's Episils to the Corinthians.
For all things are yours; and you
are Chrlst's and Christ is Gods. !"
In the evening an eloquent and
thoughtful sermon was preached
by the Rector himself.
1t was announced that In future
the Sunday morning services viii
begin at III O'Clock, city time. and
in the evening at 1885, The short
Wednesday evening services will
be resumed next Wednesday at
7:SO.
Miss Flora AtwelI Tippett has
kindly consented to sing at this
church next Sunday evening, and
as this viii probably be the last
public appearances of that gifted
vocalist IN Point Pleasant for some
time. the opportunity of enjoying
hearing her exquisite voice is GER
tain to attract large congrega-
ton.
At the Presbyterian Church,
Rev. A. e. Grover. was greeted
with large congregation, and
preached splendid sermon from
.'1st Tim. 9Th Chap, 4th verse.
The subject was ably and forcibly
handled, and for about an hour he
held his congregations closest at
tention. Not being able to finish
his discourse at the morning ser
vice, he concluded it at the even
ing service. During the morning
service Miss Flora Atwen Tippett
sang beautiful solo, entitled
Jerusalem, in clear, sweet voice.
The pastor announced that there
would be no more services in that
church until the 4th Sunday in
September.
Rev. S. A. Donahoe preached his
farewell sermon at the M. E.
Church, South, yesterday, as he
leaves to-day to attend the Metho-
dist Conference, and his future
movements are dependent upon the
cotton of that body. In the even
ing there was an especially large
congregation. The Pastor chose
as his text the 11th verse of the 9Th
chapter of Hosea, Glow shall I
give thee up, Ephriam, and thence
preached one of the most effective
sermons even among the magni-
6cent efforts with which he has so
often delighted his congregations.
During the service Miss Flora
Atwell Tippett contributed two
solos, "Jesus Lover of My Soul, .
arranged to the tune of annie
Laurie" and sConsecration
Hymn" both sung with most
affecting, devotional feeling, and
in purity of style, excellence of
meditation, delicacy of expression
and perfection of voice which can
only be described as enchanting.
Mr.. Donahoe took occasion to
thank the people of Point Pleas
ant and his congregation for their
uniform kindness to him during
his stay here, and said if it was
the will of the Conference that he
take up another charge he would
still come and say good bye.
Otherwise he would be happy in
deed to return and continue his
ministrations here.

The fact of its being Saturdays;
the termination of the sittings of
the Grand Jury and the Circuit
Court still being in session tended
altogether to make the day one to
be remembered in the annals of
our merchants who have not en-
joyed SO good days business in
a long time. The town was crowd
ed all day by people who seemed
really to have little money left to
spend and they spent it generously.
This is the season of the year
when the Board of Health and
town council should join hands in
an effort to prevent any spread of
disease. Although there are nu-
merous cases of typhoid fever,
there is no cause for serious alarm
if the proper precaution is used.
There should be a general cleaning
up and general distribution of
disinfectants around the town.
