Years ago. b fore the contribution was taken up to the iliylhinlc time of operatic music, or the ohurcheM boast ed more of their choir than their min ister, there was an able, earnest ex pounder of th- gospel holding forth In one of the Susquehanna churches. He believed lr simple singing without the aid of Instruments, and when utter a long contest, the younger members of th chutcli Introduced a bass viol Into the choir, ho was deeply disturbed. In the chin eh he said nothing, but night after night In the meetings of the of ficial board, and dining the day time In the street, did he labor for the l -moval of what he termed "that fiddle." but without success. Kach Sunday the notes of the Instrument were heard, to the Joy of the congri gutlon and his own annoyance. At last, finding pei stiaslon useless, he aioe one Sunday morning In the pulpit, and after the usual exercises said: "Now we will llddle and slug to the glory of f5od the 100th hymn!" Thue was no tlddllng In that church for many a day after. ItAII.UOAD KCIIOKS. The Chicago and Kile road Is build ing forty compound locomotives, for use on the main line between Chicago and New York.

TOO LATH. The (Jreat Mend Vlaln-Deab r sug gests that Susquehanna wait for a sec ond county hrldgp until n county bridge Is built over the river, between Hall stead and Oreat Mend. This would se m reasonable. If Susquehanna had not made all arrangements for the second bridge. It Is very much to be legretted that the Plain Dealer did not offer the vpry kind suggestion at an t a tiler date. ALL SOHTS. What Is fame? The Philadelphia.
