to "impound" this deluge so as TO pre-

such torrential flood in a river the size

Since the dedication of the handsome
new Presbyterian church of this place,
three years ago, a debt of g. 200 has hung
over il like dead weight. A short time
before the holidays the members OF the
congregation took it into their heads to
make themselves Christmas gift in the
form ofa wiping out OF this irksome in
cubus, and IN a remarkably short Time
they had the satisfaction of seeing this
debt cancelled by liberal subscriptions.
And now the editice stands clear OF debt
of any sort, and the congregation is
doubtless much happier.

ing letters from all over the country from
veteran soldiers who fought in Pennsyl'

west as California, and are from men
whose greatest pride is that they took
part in what is now called the "high
water mark" or deciding battle of the
Rebellion. The attendance of old soldiers
at the anniversary will be exceedingly
large, and every resource will be taxed Il
