TUESDAY evening of last Week the fine
stables belonging to FRANK MAYO, near
Canton, were burned about nine o'clock.
The fire was; discovered in time to remove
the horse and carriages. The fire is sup
posed to have been_ the work of an incen
diary, as there had been no fire about the
barn during the evening. There was a
small insurance on the burned property.

PERTAWAO TO POSTAGE.-The new
postal law permitting bile to be sent
through the mails as third-class matter
at the rate of one cent each, is very irn
rrfectly understood. No writing what
ev.er ' can be seut with it; the words
"please remit" subjects it to full letter
rates, _three cents. All such matter is
examined at the INstoftice, and every day
there are found bills with messagesarrit
ten thereon ; of course they are held and
returned to the owners. A simple bill,
unaccompanied by no other writing, may
be sent for one cent.. A receipted bill,
however, is anbject to the same postage
as an ordinary letter.

DEDICATION SERVICES 'OF THE
CHURCH OF SS. PETER AND -
PAUL.
The service of dedicating the recently
completed church of SS. Peter and Paul,
took place on Sunday, ;Deceinher 14th.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weath
er, a vast crowd had assembled in front
of tho church, long before the time speci
fied for worship. The ringing of the bell
announced the hoar, and promptly at, ten
o'clock,- the doors were opened, and the
immense 'concourse pouring into the
chrirch, were speedily accommodated to
comfortable seats by the gentlemanly ush
ers, Messrs. THOMAS FITY.HERALD, JOHN
QUIGLEY, Manua Ctilim4s4 . ,, JOHN Puz-
Lax and FRANK J. Btxu, of this place.
We have seldom, if eve seen - so large an
assemblage as quietly, and almost imper
ceptibly disposed of. The roomy aisles
aided, of course, in a process so desirable,
but the presence of the resicieht parish
priest, the Rev. Father KELLY, for whom
the most reverent respect is entertained
by both Catholic, and Protestant, exerted
aninfluence in establishing, and main
taining the order tbat was everywhere
manifested during the long,. and impres
sive aerviees. We, of the uninitiated,
must also concede to our neigbbors, the
advantage of many of the pxternal• aids to
devotion, that our simpler forms of wor
ship have discarded, and' an infinite supe
riority in matters of church discipline,,
and etiquette.
Our senses are not startled, into any
sudden act of self-protection, in this new
and. beautiful edifice, 'where the subdued,
buCabundant light falls through the deli
cats-grey of the stainedtglass, and blends
in harmonious unison with the lovely tint
Of its; hallowed walls.- -
There is no gaudy exaggeration of col
or, or ornament, in the chaste frescoing
overhead, or the graceful pendant flutings
that follow the line of the arches, and re
lieve at suitable intervals, the barren out
line of naked wall. No attempt at unat
tainable expression in the corbels,that act
as supports, at the terminals, tinged with
a soft , cream color, and finished with a
dash of gold. The grand whole of expres
sion, apd'meanin g, gathers at the central
altar, and in the large window that rises
above it. One • forgets the world , they
have left outside, and the tumult that
stirs within, in contemplation of the scene
here perpetually renewed, and re-enacted.
One forgets the offerings of lovely flowers,
the rich_garniture of the altars, and the'
blazing tapers, in the great sacrificial
consummation there commemorated. •
While there is nothing over elaborated
in the arrangement, and finish of the
church, there is no suggestion of unfin
ished or ..hastili , accomplished work, as
the brief time for its execution might
haie given occasion for. The atmosphere
'is of a -pleasant:, and well tempered
warmth, and the beautifully finished gal
lery at an agreeable 'range for sound.
When the clear toned bell strikes from
the tower, no sudden crash or vibratiOn
startles the inmate, as is often experienc
ed in smaller churches, !when an indiffer
ent worshipper starts from a nap, as if to
face the final judgment.
Among the many things that added to
the interest of the occasion, was the pres
ence of the Cathedral- choir of SCianton,
consisting of the organist, A. Onoss, the
tenor, Professor W. A. POWELL, the
bass, P. F. Linsurr, the soprano singers,
Misses M 4 O'MALLEY, S. FLICK/3, J. Muir,-
itax, L. DUFFEY, and the, alto voices,
Miss M. Gnoss and Miss E. Lorrus. Tt is
unnecessary to add, that notwithstanding
the absence of the leading soprano, the
music was exceptionally tine.
TIM utmost silence prevailed when the
venerable Bishop O'llAnA entered the
'Church from the rear, with his ecclesiaxti
cal retinue, and passed down the central
aisle, wearing his Bishop's cloak and mi
tre, and preceded by the crosier, the em
hlem of his sacred office. Having returned
to the altar, the Litany of the Saints was
chanted, after which the procession passed
around the outer aisles sprinkling the
walls with consecrated water, and return
ing to the altar from the opposite side.
The Right Rev. Bishop O'HAni;assist
ed by Bishops SHANAHAN, of Harrisburg,
and McQuArto, of Rochester, and the sev
eral priests in attendance then proceeded
to the celebration of the Pontifimil Mass.
The effect of this dignified assemblage
in their ceremonial vestments, and in the
performance of their - holy office, was un
usually solemn and imposing. .
• The dedication -sermon, preached by
the Right Rev. Bishop SICANAIIAS from
the text, "Go yep therefore and teach all
nations, bptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Sdn, and of the
Holy Ghost ; Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded
you, and 10, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of world," Was one of rare
compass and powei.
'The spe.aker made it his first aim to show
the essential points of difference between
the religion of CHRIST, and the religious
systems that have
: originated with men.
Those mainly enlarged upon were the pe
culiarities of individual, nation, and
epoch, that hav ck attached to, enkebled,
and brought to decay the work of . min,
while the Divine One spoke from a stand
point overtopping the vanity and specula-
Sions of the Individual, the bile, lad sod
dental crystalisatknuf of nationality, and
the vast, but often ephemeral zooresieuta
of thought., that have left' their itnpress,
and are found reflected in the literature
°fagots.
The masterly i*elleetrial range of the
iintoject, and the viell compacted argument
in favor of his own church organization
as the authorized medium of the divine
commission of the text, carried with it no
tone or accent of :bitteiness to time of
dissenting beliefs, while it yielded not an
iota of its own conviction, and those who
Mined will long remember the beautiful
delineation of the character and mission
of the Great Founder of our faith.
After the Bannon, the Mass was pro.
waled with, whose sacred significance,
we of the Outer circle were unable to fol
low,, and our unhallowed pen will be par
doned if it falls short' of accomplishing
what it has undi3rtaken„.
Thiaddress of Bishop O'HARA to the
congregation was. one of.congratulation
and encouragement, and was listened,: to
with the utmost attention, and the final
benediction was received in a reverent
spirit by the waiting assembly,
Among the priests in attendam.e were
recognized Father DOUGHERTY, of Hones
dale, a former and beloved pastor of this
parish, Rev. DENNIS O'HEAUNE, of
Wilkes-Barre, Rev. Tirearis McGoys:RN,
of Danville, Revs. CUMMISKY and Dow/L

made a feelinb address 'upon thei nature
of Chrisitian obligation. He ditelt with
peculiar emphasiinpon the pardon and
healing extended to the fallen, upon Ariel
sanctity of the family relation, and drew
most carefully, the line of distinction to
be made between the submission to right
ful and established authority, and a sub

esurrA Waitint.;VotinDßY Wontts,
an important Ind Tory conveniently
located between the G. L & S. and Pa. &
N. Y. RaffrOnds, aid convenient to each;
'also to the Caynta creek', This - industry
was established in the fall of 1872 for the
puppets, of making car•wheels and doing
other casting and work in this line of
business: The buildings consist of a main
foundry 60x120 feet; a wing 80:40, a ma
chine shop 40200, a blacksmith shop
40:28; and an engine room 20120]
We give .a few notes upon their special
work, viz: car-wheels. The iroa used "is
from Saulsbury, Corm.,.and of a superior
quality; and being unloaded from a switch
of the Pa. & N. Y. road, is - very conven
ient to the charging room, and twenty
feet or so aboVe the switch of the G., I.
• & B. road, where finished work is loaded.
The iron and coal is placed 'bra stack or
blast furnace of a .capacity sufficient to
turn out twenty-four tom of metal per
day, two .being in rise so that no time
need be lost in cleaning out the waste
from smelting. One pound of coal to five
of iron is the proportion used in melting..
Descending. to the basement or level
upon which the remainder of the work is
done, we enter the foundry near the base
of the stack and are greeted by a shower
of sparks like miniature stars cast off by
the 'molten metal as it is drasin from the
stack Into a large tub hung upon pivots
and holding four ; tonal . Workmen are
busy drawingoupon small truck's, .buckets
containing 600 pounds bf the, liquid ob
tained from the abovOitentioned tub to
the moulds, where by l the time of a crank
they are easily suspended and swing. to
the proper place and emptied into the
moulds, :sad in a few momenfa more the
wheel is `formed. The large tub is han
dled by one man by the - use of a wheel or
crank, and tho small buckets filled in turn
as they ere backed up to their places ;
another workman governs the flow from
the stack, and thus the process goes on
until the required number of wheels are
cast. As soon as the metal in the moulds
cools sufficiently they are opened, and the
still-glowing wheels are removed to vats,
several rows being . located tide by side,
each holding five or six Wheels, where
they are covered with sand and allowed
to remain until cool, the air being exclud
ed. This is the annealing process, and
gives greater elasticity. to the iron. Five
or six days are required to cool the wheels,
after which-they are reratived and cleaned;
then the hole for the axel isenlarged bya
boring maelline, and the work is cOm-
Pleted. The aiels are turned to fit the
wheels, or so that they may be pressed on,
the axel and wheels revolving together
and the journals or bearings of tins , car
resting upon the axel outside the wheels.
They have a hydraulic press for this use
of a capacity of 150 tons,, but usually fit
the axels so,that a power of 45 to 60 tons •
will press the wheel's. to their places, two
being put on at the same time by this
power, exerted horizontally. Many are
shipped singly, and either are readily
rolled upon the cars, the switch being still
lower, so that the platform Of the cars
and basement floor are upon a level. In
a room near the furnace is a baker y for
baking cores for hollow wheels ; they are
made of sand and flour, moulded and then
baked ; these are placed in the centre Of
the moulds, and after the wheels cool are
'picked to pieces and fall out of small
holes left for the purpose.
A great variety of, wheels arc made—
solid or hollow, large and small—to suit
the ideas of different companies; and in
the pattern shop some nice work in wood
is accomplished, as the work must be
true and smooth. They have patterns for
making wheels for the recently invented
cars having to use but one rail ; we think
they use them upon a,road in Texas. In
this shop we noticed a novel saw working
with the rapidity of a belo the saw being
a • belt of. steel 22 . feet long, I '.in width,'
working over two wheels padded with
leather, so that by the use of a table
through which it passed'a board could be
moved up to it and a continuous action
of a saw applied. 'ln the machine and
other shops the usual appliances were
provided. The blast is obtained by fans
driven by steam. A large force pump .
provides water, and in case of need may
be used as a fire engine: Thd present
,capacity of the works is 64 wheels ier
'day. The weight of a 33-inch passenger
coach wheel, regular size s is 535 poudds.
Moulding sand is brought from Albany,
'N. Y., 300 tons being required 'for each'
year of a coarse, clean variety. At the•
time of our visit they had orders from
the L. V., Erie, G., I. S., Tioga, S. C.,
and other roads, and had recently shipped
2,000 to the Grand Trunk. They have an '
office at the shops and one in Waverly,
and furnish - 30 men employment and pay
out $2,000 per month in wages. Mr. 11.

DEAR REPORTER : "Procrastination
is thief of time," and it is because this
pilferer has been very busy stealing away
,the hours, days and weeks, that you have
-not 'been - appriied of events as they pass

notice that our village boasts of two " La
dies' Societies." One is designed to aid
the Baptist, and the other the Methodist
Church. You know the ladies are Indi
vidually a power, and what *ay they not
accomplish when they unite and concen
trate all their powers of head, heart and
purse for a purpose, especially when that
purpose is to do good.... The New Eng
land supper at the Baptist Church; under
the auspices of the Aid Society, was a
very pleasant gathering, and notwith
standing it was a rainy evening, was a,
financial success. Much credit is to due;
the band, who added much to the pleas
,ure of the occasion....A series of union
revival meetings are being
by
in the
Baptist Church, conducted by the pastor,
`Rev. S. F. MaernEws and Rev. J. W
Bmsxstrr, of the Methodist Cuurch.
Both pastors are laboring earnestly and
faithfully, and it is hoped that much may
be accomplished for the: Master. ...R. E.

ation. This is an excellent point for a
`custom grist mill, and we hope that Ron-
Ewes experiment may developinto such
