What a Ceatre County Farmer Sees in
Boston.
No. 4.
Editor of the WATCHMAN :
In the first place permit me to point out and
correct a mistake which appeared in my last
letter. I should have said Charles Wesley in-
stead of Jolin, John Wesley came directly to
Georgia and did not come north during the |
short time he stayed in America. Charles Wes-
ley preached twice in King’s Chapel, Boston.
Tharsday evening at about half past eight
we found our way to the Vendome hotel and to
the large dining hall where the Boston Mer- |
chants’ As:
were bangneting. President Lane of the Asso-
ciation acted as toast-master. He was
ducing Gov. Ames of Mass, when we arrived.
The Governor made a short speech, merely
welcoming the guestzon the part of the com- |
mounwealth of Muss. In the absence of the
Mayor, Mr.Rodgers, president of the board of al-
dermen,zave the welcome onthe part of the city
of Boston the important speeches,
“Dang was the
toast to which e¢x-President Cleveland was ask-
ed to respond. Soveral minutes went by be-
fore he could proceed w Dar-

His manner of speaking commands respectful

sensible words, and give evidence that he
himself 1s profoundly convineed of their wruth- |
fulness.
The Ex-President reminded these mer- |
chants that theirancestors’ influence was not
due to immense fortunes made in a day, but
to their honor, patriotism and good faith.
said all they exacted of the government was
economy and honesty, and a just measure of
security for their interests. Any one could se«
what he was coming to. He was intending
to contrast and did contrast the self reliance
of the merchant of the days past with the mer-
chant of to-day who depends upon the favor of
the government and legislation in his interest,
Political selfishness then manifests itself in
legislation in favor of one to the loss of anoth- |
er class, and in favor of one section to the in-
jury of another section. After calling atten:
tion to the injustice of our Tariff taxes, the ex-
president went on to speak of two other re
forms in which he is deeply interested,namely
ballot reform; and civil service reform. Grov-
er Cleveland stands to-day as the foremost
champion in America of the three great re- |
forms, tariff reform, civil service reform in the
true sense, and ballot reform. Let him be our
candidate in ’02.
_ The next speaker was the brilliant orator
from the South, Henry M. Grady, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution. His toast was the Race
Problem in theSouth He is a young working
man, with smooth face hieavy head of dark hair
about medium height, beavy set, square,
shoulders, full chest, and full of fire. His
position was a cifficult one. He was standing
on soil sacred to the memory of Charles Sum-
ner and Wendell Philips. Just outside within
sight of the hotel was a statue of William Lloyd
Garrison. More than half of the four hundred
merchants before him were republicans whore-
gard the south as still disloyal tothe union;the
others were New England democrats who have
been taught to look.with suspicion upon a
southerner. But this fearless orator carried
everything before him in his plea for paivience,
fairness and sympathy on the part of the north
toward the south.
Andrew Carnegie was the next speaker in-
troduced. “Industrial Progress” was his toast.
Though a high protectionist and an admirer
of Blaine, he paid a high tribute to Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland. But we came away before the
iron, king had finished,scongratulating our-
selves on the privilage our cheek had secured
for us of hearing and seeing these famous
men. B. UST.
Dedication of a 1
Lemont, Pa., Dec. 1¢ 1889,
Last Saturday some hearts were sad because
the day was dark and dreary. Yes, the rain
just poured and the sleet pelted against the
window panes, and,some who had faced the
cannon and stood where the shot and shell
fell thick and fast, now trembled for fear the
rain should continue to pour on the morrow,
the day set for the dedication of the new
church. Saturday evening the people were
seen wending their way through rain and
mud to the new church to participate in the
opening service. The P. E., B. B Hamlin, D.
D., of Tyrone, preached a very appropriate ser-
mon urging the people to make some sacrifice
for God and His cause. He inspired the peo-
ple with hope. After a consultation with the
members we retired to our several places of
abode, not carelessly to toss into bed, but to
plan and pray for success on the morrow
During the night the wind shifted to the west
Sunday dawned, and the roads were muddy
but the rain had ceased, and long before the
time set for service to begin, the little church
was filled to overflowing. Dr. Hamlin was the
preacher of the day and took for his text the
11th verse of 23d chapter of Joshua: “Take good
heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love
the Lord, your God.” The anxious hearts
grew peaceful asthe preacher lifted them up
in a masterly way, carrying his hearers on the
flights of his wonderful elequence even above
the dark clouds of sinand sorrow. The church
. Church.
was crowded, every inch of standing room be- |
ing occupied, yet the Doctor held the audience
. almost spell bound for more than an hour.
After the sermon came the collection. The
trustees asked for seven hundred dollars to
pay all indebtness. The people responded
very liberally according to their ability, and
over six hundred dollars were raised on sub-
scription and in cash.
Sunday evening Rev. W. A. Houck, of Belle-
fonte, occupied the pulpit. He took for his
text John 12 chapter and 32 verse: ‘And I, if
I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men
unto me,” preaching a powerful and spiritual
sermon, lifting his hearers up nearer heaven.
Rev. Mr. Houck is a strong and logical
preacher.
After the sermon the collection was contin-
ued, raising about one hundred and fifty dol-
lars, making a total for the day of about $750.
Then came the dedication of the church to
Almight God, doxology and benediction.
Now, as the little Methodist society which
organized one year ago with only nine mem-
bers and no church, realized that their num-
bers had been quadrupled during the year and
that they had just dedicateda cozy little
church worth $2000, with ample provisions for
all indebtedness, you may be sure they were
happy and felt like saying, surly the Lord is
with his people and we are marching on.
Our success is largely due to the untiring
ciation and its distinguished guests |

efforts put forth by the ladies of the church.
We think it was a herculean effort. All honor

advantage to have these bridges than Centre.
In this particular respect Philipsburg is more
identified with Clearfield county than the one
in which she is located.
The bridges are very
badly needed, and should be erected at once.
The Third Ward has a man whom it would
be well for some one who objects to the ill-

a teamster, and the manner in which he cruel-

makes no difference how cold the water, or
how bitterly eold the day, this fellow applies a
stream of cold water upon the mules, and simp-
ly beeause the poor dumb brutes object to such
contemptible work the driver beats the very
life out of them with almost any thing he ean
lay his hands upon. The fellow, besides at-
tempting to take care of the mules, awakens
the residents in that section from their sleep
about two hours before they are ready to get
up, by his big mouth. We don’t know but it
sort 0’ strikes us that if his employers were
acquainted with the manner in which he
abuses the mules he wouldn't remain in their
employ very long.

Bold Robbery at Williamsport.
Last Saturday night Edward Deacons,
residing in the vicinty of the rolling mill,
South Williamsport, was knocked down,
bound, and his pockets turned inside
out. While on his way home, and near
the school house on Southern avenue,
the robbing took place. As soon as he
could regain his feet after the man had
left him, he went to the nearest house
where the ropes that bound him were
cut. Mr. Deacons did not lose much—
only four dollars—and considers himself
very lucky in g tting off this easy. The
place where the robbery was committed
is very lonely, no houses being near.
