In the morning there wa a meeting held in the rooms of the Young Meu's Christian Association, which consisted of prayer*, singing, Ac., ll was well attended by both seses and well calculated to impress upon the mind the solemn duties of the day. The socie ty can truly say, "Come a ith us, and we will do you good." Between U and 10 o'clock the boll# of the different churches were rung, giving no tice that the duties of the day bad arrived 1 was invited to attend the Protectant Episcopal church which 1 accepted. The church is of the Gothic order and mxko# a handsome appearance from the alreot. The arrangement 6f the interior of the church is judicious, deautiful, and comfortable ; the pews are handsomelycus hioned, floors carpeted, stained glass windows—in the front and back aie two memorial windows of Stained glass, representing St. John, Ac., costing several hundred dollars, do nation, as I am informed, of the late Judge J. T. Hale and the late Mrs. Judge James Burnside. There is a flue organ and ex cellent choir in the church. The church was handsomely decorated with corn, bar lay, and cereals, fruits and flowers, exhib iting the bounties of Providence iu the season passed to the contemplative mind. The sermon commenced with the formu lary of that cburt-h on occasions of this kind, and they were very impreasiva. At the close of the servieca, tbo pastor, the Kev. Hewitt entered the pulpit and took for his text the "JO, 'JI and tl verses of the Bth chapter of Genesis, and delivered n able, eloquent and appropriate discourse ; he then returned to the chancel and in formed the congregation that the senior warden of the church, at a free-will thanksgiving offering was about and had' presented to the church anew building for: the residence of the officiating Hector of the church 'or all time to come, when Mr. •Montgomery stepped forward and read a deed from Maj Wm. F. Reynold#, in fee, simple, to the officers of the church and their successors in office. It is a beautiful building, with all the modern improve ments, erected under tbe supervision oti Maj Reynolds, and at bis own individual cost. Tbe ladies of the church, as tbair thanksgiving offering, have handsomely and conveniently furnished the house with the very best of furniture and ulenaila. Service# ware also bald in the Preebyteri an church by Rev. Laurie, and in the Methodist church by Rev. Miller and, lhair sermons highly spoken of. Sermons like these referred to, on such an occasion, should be procured and published in the' county weeklies, as they certainly would be instructive The town was as qutet as a Sabbath, no rioting or drunkenness was seen or heard, which speaks well tor the morals of Beflefonte. \ ISITOR.

The name o the owner must be made public. The ar tides put up must be told without reserve and unless tbe vender reserves one open bid he cannot bid himself or have the auctioneer or any one hid for him. There l are cases on record where a bid was not resorved, and tbe vendor bad a bidder who bought it in, and afterwards suit was brought against the vendor by the highest outside bidder for the article and it was decided that he (the plaintiff) was tbe highest bidder and entitled to tha article, against tbe vend jr. So, also, if an article is struck off to a person, and it is after wards ascertained that the vendor or auc tioneer practiced fraud, by holding him self, or had puffers, it was held both by the Courts of England and so repeatedly decided by the supreme Court of Penn sylvania that the purchaser could not be held, but the purchaser at soon as he dis covers the fraud practiced upon him must return or tender the articles to tbe ven dor.

London, November 28. —The Daily Telegraph's Pera special contains in dications confirmatory of the view tbat the Turks have aimost, if not quite, abandoned the expectation of reaching Pievna with succor. The dispatch says: "There are renewed reports of fighting near Rustchuck, the Turks being the aggressors, but we have no iuformation whether these movements are extensive enough to cause the withdrawl of any forces from Plevna, even if the czarwitch's army were weak, which is denied." Constantinople, Nov. 28. —Ghazi Mukhtar Pasha telegraphs from Erze roum, under date of November 26, as folio W8 : "The Russian Bayazid column is encamped between Zeididan and Kar-; okelissa. Everything indicates that the Russians are preparing to suspend operations and go into winter quarters.| Snow ha 9 fallen in the mountains to the depth of three feet." London, Nov., 28. —A Russian of* ficial dispatch dated Bogat, says: "The Turks on Monday morning violently attacked the Twelth corps at Teistruck and Metcbka. After six hours severe fighting the Turks were repulsed, and pursued until night. "Tbe Turkish loss must have been very heavy. The Russian loss num bered 300 including a large number of officers.
