TUE DUNN: APrtm....The origin of tilt case-is o. ra!owai-- The Class's of Mercersburg made an assess ment of a certain sum upon the Huntingdon congregation for the. beneficiary education of students. Elder Dunn, representing the con gregation at Huntingdon, informed the classis that the congregation were unable to meet the assessment, whereupon the classis enjoined the cong,gation from using, for other pur poses any moneys obtained by collection until tha assessments should be paid. In behalf of the congregation, Elder Dunn appealed fiom this decision of the classis to the District Synod—that of Martinsburg. From the District Synod the appeal, - on com plaint, was carried to the General Synod. The question before the Synod was Shall classis, when they make assessments upon their congregati•ms, have a prior and cactu s:re clab.. upon funds in the hands of those congregations to t.)e amount of the assessment? N. arty n whale day was taken up with the discussion. At its close Elder Dunn's appeal was sustained by a vote of ninety (9 9 ayes .o eighty (8-)) nays. At the eveniag session, the following ws s offered by the Ray Dr. J. 11. Good; Recolred, That no condstory or other je dic story has any right to alienate any fnads from the purposes fur which they ware con tributed but that consistories have the undoubted right to designate the direction whirls funds in their hands for benevolent purposes shall take, when not specially desig nated by the donors. The resolution was copiously discussed, and was finally divided into two sections. The first, in regard to the alienation of funds for specific purposes by eonsistories, was adopted by a I , ,te of 94 ayes Thirty five members were excused from voting, on the ground that they hail previously voted upon the same question. The second section, comprising the remain der of the resolution, was adopted by the following vote: Ayes, 82 ; nays, 19. Upon this vote 38 members were excused. This decision takes else fetters off runny ministers and consistories and allows them to aid, through the regularly established boards of the church, students in Sheboygan Mission institute, Heidleburg college and Seminary, at 'tiffs, Ohio, and Ursinus college, Pennsyl vania. No longer must they aid in the pro pagation of ritualism or the effete dogmas of the third and fourth centuries._ Once m. , ie the churches are free, and Elder Dunn deserves the gratitude of the entire church for his persistent labors under every kiud of hindrance and every form ofaunoyanee in pukhing this matter to a decision in the highest court of the church. It is really a deliverance from oppression. The action of the General Synod in these and other maters was so distasteful to those who have been for several years used to sanction innovations, that an effort was planned to di vest the Synod of its judicial character, allow ing no appeals to be made from lower courts to it, and retaining for it only an advisory character after the platform of the Congrega tional Association. On a motion to refer such amendment ofthc Constitution, it was prompt ly voted down. This was followed by an effort to send dose to_ the classes a proposi tion for the creation of "a court of appeaV which should be a final resort in all appeals and complaints. .This court was to consist of two members from each District Synod, and was to relieve the General Synod from all the irritation growing out of appeal cases. There seemed, however, to be a fear in Syno I that "a Snake" was hidden under the thing, and it W./. 3 ref.Tral to that. quiet resting place "th,, Committee on the Constitution."

The-seats, the backs, the wood work and the windows are covered with a coating of black coal dust so thick that the passenger cannot travel twenty miles Without blackening up his clothes and person to such a degree that his own mother would scarcely recognize him. A lady or gentleman has no business in these cars with a respectable dress• A ride of a few miles will leave it the color of soot and culy fit for everyday gear. There are times when the passenger is obliged to wear better clothes than a miter or black smith in the pursuit of his calling, and, if this happens frequently, he does not feel like standing the expense. We doubt very much whether some of these cars have ever seen water other than that used for drinking purposes. On our recent trip to the west we noticed that the employees of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, at the end of each trip, wash ed out the cars, rubbed off the woodwork, sponged the windows and removed the cushions and switched out every particle of dirt. These ears had a good odor about them and we :e pleasant to travel in. We commend this ex ample to those whose business it is to see that the cars are in a proper condition on the Penn sylvania Railroad. The Company experts better tlfings of its employees.

Sonic mines have fora timestopped work on account of it. There is always somethiag in the way to prevent study work. We have often had a scarcity of cars because they were not on the reed ; often again because there were not enough of engines to bring them here ; often again because there was not siding enough at Saxton to allow trains to pass is a hurry. We have got used to wrecks and broken bridges and frozen pipes ; and we are used to seeing foundered, sprained. ,ingboned, broken down old engines trying to do the work of respecta ble articles of the same class. But this epi hipo ,rhinorrheaotic fills the cups. Waco this passes away, if it does go away, what next may we expect ? what, indeed, short of an earthquake might we expect? • We promised in this letter to discourse again of railroads. Now the gent.e reader may imagine that the writer hereof says too much about railroads. But the reader must remember that there are at present in this county people who think of little else than railroads ; who talk railroad by day and dream narrow gunge railroad at ni.th t. Ile must re member also that the people of a large part of this county are just now particularly interest ed in railroads. And lie must remember that there is hardly a man in tile lower end of Bust ngdou county who does not expect ere another year, to see a railroad pass through his meadow or b yatd. It is the business of a correspondent to write of what 1,11 most interest the greatest number of his readers. Aud this is why t :is. and perhaps a subse quent letter, will discourse so muc:i of rat rods. What a lot of railroads we are to have too. The East Itroad Top Rit:lroad is in course of construction from Mt. Haion via Orbisonia to the East Broad Top con: fields. And the State Line R ilroad is to come up into the same re gion by way of New Grenada or some other South American city. And a railroad is to be made from Hancock indefiaitely northward pass.ng the same coal bed. And a Pittsburgh comp , tuy is to make a railroad up Smith Val ley to the same East Broad Top. And the L,edon and North American It It. Co., wi I soon lay out a road direct from London by way of Nova Zembla, Labrador and Buffalo to terminate at the sante point. . . Engineers, for the last five years, have been travelling over the section of country where the above named roads are to converge. if the inhabitants of that regio . see any two stringers together t tete they take it for pront o,: that they are engineers laying out more railroads. And this belief is heightened if the suspected persons carry hatchets. George Washington had a little hatchet. Engineers have little hatchets likewise, and they make god use of them. For five years uo under brush has been allowed to stand o: grow east of Broad Top. It has all been cut down to al low scope for sighting ; and the larger bustles and sap,ings have been cut to make pickets to mark the different roads or the different routes for the same road. So many such posts have been driven into the ground, especially be tween Cook's Mills and Scottsvilie, that it is not safe for a M. to walk out at night in that country without running a good chance of breaking his neck falling aver them. The people have got now to pulling up these posts and using as firewood. We hear of sonic fam ilies who don't expect to cut or haul any wood this winter. They use railroad pickets. Every few days the engin era come along sur veying a new route and drive in a fresh supply of numbered sticks, and these iu turn make warns fires. Railroad civil engineers are the most oncer . thin class of men of whom we have any ec count. ' hey never know whers a railroad is to be located until after it is grad3d and the ties down and the rails laid. Then sometimes they find that it is not in the right place, and it has to he moved. A corps of enginiers been engaged for eighteen months in locating one of these railroads, and they haven't got it located yet. Every week they find a new place for it. Every waek soinaba ly who is pie sued with the prospect of having a railroad pass close to his house,and who sees his hopes ver.fied by the lust survey, tells us t sat this last survey is the decisive one, and that they have just settled on the route that lie said at first was the last and only practicable route. Aid the next week somebody living two or three or four miles to the south or north or wsst has the same to say of the last week's route. We bavn't as yet seen anybody in that vienity who did not in the beginning decide on the bes• route for that railroad. And no one has been disappointed in not having the route of his selection confirmed by the la:est survey. And strange to say no resident has found a best route which d:d not ran through or near Ws faros. Nor save we yet heard of a man in that locality who does not expect to have a railroad station within fifty yards of his house. Althatfour of t:th prop is.id railroads w.ll run through Ground Hog Valley. The valley will have to be made about tw. sty-five feet wider to make room for so many railroads through it. There has been sonic dispute as to whether a valley can be wi.lened without a special act of Congress permitting such increase of terri tory. file Declaration of Independence says nothing about widening vallels ; but the gen eral opinion now is that it can be done by liar. ing the Legislature charter a Ground Hog Val ley Improvement Company with privilege to build railroads, mine coal, manufacture sew ing machines, and carry on the hardware bu siness. In conclusion we beg 7e tve to say, that if any one noes not feel inclined to believe all the mad statements -made in this letter, there is no compulsion in the matter. SUBSCRIBER.
