Charch Dedication.
The new church of the Evangelical
Association at Spring Mills, was dedira-
ted to the worship of God on Bunday,
Sept. 29,
av. I 8. Vought, of Centre Hall,
yreached on Saturday evening; Rev,
i Wiest, of Harrisburg. on Sunday
morning, snd Rev, A. E. Gobble, presi-
dent of Central Penna. College, located
at New Berlin, in the evening.
The building is a plain siructare, 50x36
feet, pulpit recess. Belfry 10x12 feet
with spire 79 feet bigh. The audience
room is seated with chairs, and the walls |
{ are beautifully frescoed, presenting
throughout a very neat appearance. i
Much credit is due to those who have 80 |
nobly assisted in bringing this much-
| needed chureh to completion, Special
mention should we made of Messrs, Jo- |
seph Alters, James Cain and D. Luce, |
| the carpenters, for the tasteful manner
in which they executed their » ork.
The cost of buildiog and furaiture was |
$1831 93, of which amount $491.01 re- |
mained to be secured at the time aps
pointed for dedication, and after a long
pull, and the help of friends present,
| they were able to consecrate the church
free of debt, Oue thing is yet needfal,
that is a good bell, and it is to be hoped
in the near future this may be had.

The Profits.
Some one who claims to be posted, |
thinks the picnio cleared about $1,000. |
There were 200 State tents which rented |
for an average of perhaps $3, would |
| make a total rental of $600. Then the
| income from boarding and ice cream
| privileges and exhibitors may amoaut
| to perhaps $600 more, The expenses
| scarcely ran over $200, The freight on
| tents is said to bave been $50. The la-
| bor on the ground perhaps another $100.
| We suppose the state charges for the use
| of its tents, as it would not likely allow
| them to be used for private profit with,
| out compensation, either here or at Wil-
| liamsgrove, neither would the fair-mind-
| en gentlemen at the head of these gath~
{ erings expect it. Whatever is paid the
| state for the use of the tents, would
| have to be dedocted from the proceeds,
| and cut down the net profits to perhaps
| $800.
{ ~All the boarding and other stands no |
| doubt came out with considerably more
{than expenses,

There was a large crowd in waiting at
the station when the train arrived on
which it was supposed Hopkins wonld
be, but the authorities had anticipated
this and the train was stopped at the
pail works, a half mile below town. and
the prisoner was conveyed from there td

before any one was aware of the circam-

Hopkins will get his trial the last week
