< 'HCIUII DEDICATION*. —The German
Reformed Church, at Pleasantville,
thi.- county, which was built during
the summer and autumn of last year,
was dedicated to the worship of the
Triune God, on Saturday, the 16th

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

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

dry. Ilauis treated in this manner will
keep perfectly sweet for several years,

posits its egg, for after that is done

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,

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. A. J. P.

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.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—The elegant
marble building, corner of Ninth and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, occu
pied by Messrs. 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 ?"

COMPHER—On Wednesday. Dec 30th. 1868,
at his residence in th borough of Bedford, John
P N. Foott Coßiphcr, M. 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."

• What We Saw at The Hub —Curiosity led us,
while recently in Boston, to visit the dollar estab
lisiiment of Messrs. Eastman A Kendall. Their
trade has beootne so immense that they now oc
cupy four stories in the elegant block No. 65
Hanover Street. The name of this firm has be
come as fam'iiaras household words' throughout
the Middle and Western States, while as prompt
and honcrable business men they are endorsed by
the best firms in their own city. Their Club sys
tem of selling goods has done more, we believe,
during the past few yet rs to keep down the prices
ol domestic articles in every day use, than all
other influences combined. Most of their goods
are manufactured expressly for them, as, fur in
stance, cutlery made to their order in Sheffield,
England, and imported in large quantities for
their dollar trade alone."
