The pastor, Rev. C. X". Hod man, was assisted in the consecratory services by R'-v. X. H. Sky'es and Rev. Win. M. Deatrick. The Church edifice is a neat and handsome struc ture, forty feet in length by thirty-four feet in breadth. It is said to he the best church edifice in St. Clair town ahip. The crowd of persons in atten dance upon the dedication was very large. TOE TIPPING.— The brave lads and fair lassies of the "/oof," "tipped the light fantastic foe" at the Washington Hotel, one night last week. Every thing to make the guests comfortable and happy was done by "mine host" of the Washington, and the good folks • njoyed themselves c o hugely that the evening's exercises were prolonged to the wee small hours of the morning. Everything passed off pleasantly. A ball in ltedford is a rare thing and its occurrence is worth noting. GOOD HAMS. —After hains have been smoked, take them down and thorough ly rub the tlesh part with moiasses, then immediately appiy ground or powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be bung up again to dry. Ilauis treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for several years, 'i'h is must be done before the fly de posits its egg, for after that is done there is nothing will stop their rava. ges. _ llow TO KILL A TOWN. —The Du buque Herald gives the following re ceipt for knocking a town stiff and dead, which we think is so applicable to our own town that we transfer it to our columns: "If you wish to kill off a town, put up no more buildings than you are obliged to occupy yourself.— If you should hapi>en to have an emp ty building,and anyone should want to rent, ask about three times its actual value. Look at every newcomer with a scowl. Turn a cold shoulder to ev ery business man or mechanic seek ing a home among you. Go abroad for wares rather than purchase of your own merchants or manufacuiiers at the same prices. Jiefuse to advertise, so that persons at a distance will not suppose any business is being done in your town. A prompt and close ob - rvance of these rules will ruin any town in two years." THE RAT NUISANCE.—We clip the following recipe for destroying rats, from the Ilarrisburg daily Telegraph. ! It is worth double the price for a years subscription to any farm.tr or house keeper in the country. It will banish every rat: "Catching rats is often difficult, as old rats are proverbially cunning.— Laying around poison is dangerous not alone, but also objectionable, for the reason that rats may die at inaccessible spots and contaminate the atmosphere with their well known detestable odor. I A better plan has been adopted by one of our correspondents, by which he takes advantage of the cunning habits of rats. He covers the floor near the hole with a thin layer of moist caustic potash ; when the rats walk on this it makes their feet sore; these they lick with their tongues; it makes their mouth sore, and the result is they shun this locality, not alone, but ap ; pear to tell all the neighboring rats a bout it, and eventually the house is a | bandoned by them, notwithstanding the neighborhood may be teeming with rats. THE PETROLEUM FLUID manufac tured by J. J. Palmer & Co., Pittsburg, under Letters Patent supplies a necess ity as well as a household convenience. It has been in use more than a year and i 3 growing in favor wherever used. I It makes the neatest, and in every re j spect, the best light, no offensiva odor, no smoke, no grease to soil garments, no danger from explosions in lamps, does not injure weak eyes, gives a softer light than Kerosene, can be used with or without chimney, can be burned in any lamp with the trifling expense of changing burners. It is cheaper than any light except day-light. All who use it will endorse all we say. The fol lowing opinion, one of many we have seen is worthy of attention. To whom it may concern This is to certify that I have use I the Petroleum Fluid in my house for sometime, with entire Satisfaction. It not only affords a clear white light, but is perfectly safe being by me regarded as non-ex plosive. J. H. PALMER, Inspector Board Fire underwriter for the city of Buffalo, N. Y. THE MAMMOTH CAVE. — Extractfrom a private letter. — ***** We I groped about for many hours in this wonderful place. I never saw any thing like it. The freaks of nature dis played here are very strange, and strike the beholder with awe. But the air in some parts of the cave is elose and stifling, and when wecameout I found myself saddled with a terrible fever, which entirely prostrated me. The physician had never seen a case like it | liefore, and no remedy he prescribed seemed to do the least good. My life was despaired of. Mrs. Wilson, with whom 1 was residing, had in the house a bottle of Planation Bitters, and she in sisted I should try it, for she said she knew it to be a certain cure in all cases of fever, debility, ague, dyspepsia, <£-c. I had but little faith, but finally con sented to try it as a last resort. In less ilian three hours after my first dose my fever left me; in two days I was sitting up, and before Saturday night 1 was as well as ever. I tell you all this that you may know how to act in any case of fever or any similar disease. 1 firm ly believe the Plantation Bitters sa ved my life. * * * * * In my next I will tell you about the Cave in in detail.

ORGAN MUSIC.— One of thegreat ob stacles in the encouragement of a young would-be organists, is the inac cessability of the large church organs to any bat the organist of the society, who iseertaiuiy privileged in having such an instrument at his command. He, even, is dobarred from practising in the winter season, owing to the ab sence of warmth in the edifice on secu lar days. A celebrated European or ganist, while recently examining and performing upon one of Messrs. S. D. A 11. W. Smith's larger sized Ameri can Organs, remarked that he was ful ly convinced that for the practice of or gan music and development of con trasts in registration and blending of stops, these peculiar instruments were the best he had ever met with, which would serve to develop the integrity of the player, especially the student, who would, with remarkable ease, transfer with practical advantage his 1 experience thus obtained to the largest pipe organ and at the same time have the convenience of practising at home. The contrast in the voicing of the stops in Messrs. Smith's organs is so mark ed, the shades of expression so delicate, and the gradations of power so entire ly under the control, that an indefinite variety in the combination may be ob- j tained. The manipulation and re sponse are so free, that not only may the lighter styles of organ music be sat isfactorily performed, but transcrip tions from the popular orchestral over- j tures may !>e executed with the finest effects, while the small amount of space which they occupy in the drawing room or parlor, commend them to all who are interested in organ music. SAGE ADVICE. —Never pay a bill on first presentation—it would look as if you were ostentatious of honesty. At ; the second time of presenting you may consider about it, and say "call again." Third or fourth time you may be either not at home or out of money, and should the creditor call a fifth you may have a fair reason to be offended at his pertinacity, and not pay the bill at all. m A SHAW AND CLARK $25 Sewing Machine (in good order) for sale.

J. E. Caldwell & Co., Howell A Brother, and by J. E. & E. B. Orne, was entirely destroyer! by fire, on Monday morning of last week, involving a loss to the owners and oc cupiers of one million three hundred thousand dollars. The fire is sai 1 to have originated from the bursting of one of the boilers in the basement, from which heat was supplied to the edifice. The building was the handso mest structure in the city, and its de struction is to be universally regretted. The insurance on the building, stock, Ac., of the firms above mentioned is large, but insufficient to cover the loss sustained. It is feared that two of the persons in the employ of Mr. Caldwell, who were in the store when the fire occur red, have perished in the flames. The New Orleans Picayune, of the sth instant, learns by telegram that Captain Win. Perry, of that city, a gentleman of irreproachable character, was shot and 1 illed by the United States soldiers at Jefferson, Texas, on the night of the 2d iust., by "mistake," as the soldiers say. The Picayune sup poses Mr. Perry to have been shot and killed in one of the military raids now so common in Texas, and queries "Is this a free country ?" MA RRIED.

D., aged 52 years, 4 month* and 21 days. Deceased was the son of General William Com piler. who, for many years occupied a prominent position in both the civil and military history of Bedford county Dr. Compiler received a thor ough classical education, after which h3 gradua ted a: the Medical School at Lexington, Ky., be ing awarded the highest honors. He practiced hi- profession, with great succt-s--, the field of his labor* frequently extending over the entire coun ty. He was profoundly learned in medical science, an 1 his judgment on critical points was always held iu great respect by his professional brethren. In early lite he devoted much of his time to liter ary pursuits, and without publishing much of what he wrote, he was known and admired by a large circle of appreciating friends, as a scholar, a critic and a poet. lie was also prominent in the politics of this and neighboring counties Unlike the trimmers who so greitly control political af fairs. he was constant to principle and deemed it a sacred duty to cling to that, no matter what as sociates it brought him or what friends it divided from him In this, as in the whole tenor of his life was found the assurance of an honest man. About one year ago hfs health began to fail, and he announced to his friends, wuth the calmness of one who did not fear to die, that he believed his and to be raniily approaching. He was attacked by the fell destroyer, consumption, and as the dy ing year sighed away its last hours upon the bosom of tlie December wind, he fell peacefully asleep in the arms of that serene and beautiful angel sent to relieve hiai of all his mortal pai", closing his eyes in the blessed hope of a bright immortality in the morning of the Resurrection. He bade farewell to all earthly things, with these words, so expres sive of the fact that he had m ide his peace with God, (the last he ever uttered) ' Trusting in God through Christ." diUiv 1 ASTRAY NOTICE.—Came to the ~*j premises of the subscriber, living in Juniata township, in November last. 6 head ot sheep.
