The new pews for the Presbyterian church are being placed In position while the edifice Is temporarily vacated. New carpets will also be provided and the church generally will take on a much Improved appearance, to say nothing of tho added comfort which the new fur nishings will afford.

The word "stunt" as meaning a spe cific task or performance Is making very rapid progress toward respectability and good standing in the language, says the Providence Journal. That paper laments that this is true. So may we all, adds an exchange. While it is true that the word of which "stunt" Is an ugly variant, stint, or stent, Is good English, as "stunt" it becomes wretchedly bad. When such slang is admitted to the family of respec tability, it will be high time also to admit "rubber-neck" and "chew tne rag." Tho Franklin correspondent of the Derrick, under date of July H6, says: "This afternoon a young man from For est county aud a girl from Clarion county applied to Register and Recorder Buchan an for a marriage license.

Tho law requires that the consent of the pa rent or guardian must be sworn to, and Mr. Buchanan, while satisfied of the gen uineness of tho paper, could not issue the license. It was a badly disappointed couple that loft the court bouse." After watching the horse races at Oil It v Friday, Editor Keeloy, of the Vo- iiiingo Herald, went homo and expressed his views. As ho is a temperance advo cate and opposod to sonio sports that oth ers admire, the following testimony Iroin his pen is worthy of perusal: "We like to soo a good horse, and we like to see htm run, and we do know that to have an honest horse race we must have an honest human race. So we trust that the meas ure of success attending the Oil City races will help to convince all men that the way to make such an all'air truly pop ular is to make it absolutely clean and honest.

Marienville's school board is almost bopelossly deadlocked on the solection of an assistant principal for the schools of that place, standing three and three.

The Titusvllle Herald Is authority for the statement that reports from a num ber of districts adjacent to the city place (he yield of apples this year at about one third of a full crop. The heavy frosts of June are largely responsible for this con (lit Ion, as the trees blossomed well and early In the si asoo promised an abund auce of Miit. From the grower's stand' point the small yield is better than a very large oue, as the latter always gluts the market. Small fruits such as berries, curries, etc., are an average crop. There will be no peaches in this locality. About an average yield of plums and pears is promised.

Many friends among our yonng peo ple will be pained to learn of the death of Walter J. Morgan, which occurred at the WilliauiBport hospital, on the 13th inst., after a short Illness. We have not learned the nature of his Illness, but un derstand be had gone from bis home at Verona, near Pittsburg, to Williamsport on his vacation, where be was taken ill. Walter spent a year or more in Tionesta with his father when the mantel works were in operation, having learned the art of carving. During his stay here he made many friends among old and young by bis quiet, unassuming, gentlemanly manners, and bis correct Christian char acter gained for him the confidence and high esteem of all with whom he came in contact. He is survived by bis parents and one brother. He was aged about 21 years, a model young man, whose ex cellent training aud earnest Christian faith had made him ready for the change. Francesco Cefali, an Italian, was banged in the Brookville jail, Tuesday of last week, for the murder of a fellow countryman, near Sykesville, Jefferson county, In September last. The two men had been last seen together on the night before the muider, and the murdered man bad been found some distance from their boarding bouse with five bullet holes in his body. One of bis pant-lee,! had been cut near the knee, where he carried his money, and his wallet, with f.0 In money in it, taken. This was af terward found In the possession of Cefali and clearly Identified. While the man protested bis innocence up to the very moment when the trap on the scaffold was sprung, the evidence of bis guilt was so convincing that no ground was left for the jury to render any other than a ver dict ol murder in the first degree. When captured the culprit was negotiating with a fellow-countryman to purchase a ticket to Italy for him. The moBt terrifying storm known to that section visited Titusville and vicin ity last Saturday afternoon, leaving ruin and waste In its wake. Tho Incessant lightning flashes and thunderbolts are said to have caused the terror-stricken populace to think that the crack of doom had come. The raiu fall was something appalling, and many of the main streets were flooded to the depth of four and five feet. Cellars and basements wer inun dated with the flood, causing heavy dam age to many of the business places of the oity. It is thought the property Iobs will reach $00,000 to 70,000. At Gladerun, just outside the borough limits of War ren, much destruction of property also resulted from a storm which passed over that community later at night, buildings located along the stream having been washed away, taking everything before tbem. One man was in bis barn milk ing when the water came up so suddenly that be could not escape, and the barn was washed away. Two cows were drowned, but the man escaped when tho barn lodgod agaiust a bridge lower down the stream. Fortunately no lives were lost in these storms. Badly Crushed Leg.

Last Sunday, July 30th, was a day of happiness and rejoicing for tho congrega tion of the Methodist Episcopal church of West Hickory, for it witnessed the dedi cation and final turning over to tbem of the beautiful new church building pre sented through the noble genorosity of Messrs, Orion Siggins, of West Hickory, and T. D. Collins, of Nebraska, The dedicatory services wore conducted by Bishop C. C. McCabe, aud be was assist ed by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Mowrey, Roy. W. O. Calhoun, of Tionesta, Rev. J. K. Whippo, of Stockton, N. Y., Rev. S. B. Torrey, of Erie, Pa., and Rev, II. K. Steele, of Townville, Pa., the last three being former pastors of that charge The inclement weather of the morning no doubt deterred many from attending, yet the hour set for tho service, 10:30 a. in., found the church filled tooverflowing witli members and many visitors from nearby to hih. The program as an nounced last week was substantially car ried out. Prior to tho dedicatory ser vices 'he rlteof biptism was administered by Bishop McCabe to a class often adults and thirteen children. The sermon was delivered by Bishop McCabe, from the text as found in Exo dus 2T:8: "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them." It was an eloquent discourse suited to tho occasion aud it was evident that this grand old servant of the Master has lost none of bis power to sway the minds of men, Ut at times his hearers were moved to tears and again to smiles. A tho conclusion of the sermon the trus tees, Messrs. Oiion Siggins, T. D. Collins and J. G. Carson, wore called to the chan cel rail and the edifice was formally dedi cated by the Bishop to the service and worship of Almighty God. The services were made more enjoyable by two finely rendered solos by Mrs. J. F. Sheasley, of Kittanning, who gave as the voluntary, "Open the Gates of the Temple," and Mr. F. A. Shaw, of Tidioute, who gave the solo "Alone With Thee." The congrega tional singing was led by Dr. Win, G. Morrow, Mrs. Sheasley, and Mr. F. A, Wheeler, with Mrs. W. G. Wilkins pre siding at the organ, and was entered into with spirit by all. At three o'clock in the afternoon a plat form meeting was held in the new church at which reminiscences were given by Bishop McCabe, and Revs. Mr. Mowrey, Mr. W hippo, who was the first pastor alter the organization of the West Hick ory class a little more than ten ears ago, Mr. Torrey and Mr. Steele. Mr. Siggins was called on, but being too modest to appear, the audience gave him the Chau tauqua salute. Mr, Collins was then called on and in a brief speech gave the history of the old church and the circum stances which led them to build the new church. The audience was again highly favored by solos by the Bishop, Mrs. Sheasley, Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Shaw. In the evening at 7:30 Bishop McCabe preached again to an audience that filled every seat in the house, taking his text from Isaiah 60:22: "A litilo one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation : I the Lord will hasten It In his time." Services will be held every evening this week, except Saturday. We have not sullicieut data to give a technical description of the church build ing, but it is of modern architecture, convenient and comfortable In all Its ap pointments, and is a credit to the com munity as well as a lasting memorial to the generous donors. It stands in the center of the town, on South Main street, on a lot donated by Mr. Orion Siggins. The structure is b,uilt of wood, from plans drawn by Benjamin D. and Max Chanes Price, architects, of New York City. The main entrance is into a vesti bule at the northeast corner and leading up to this are the steps of finely cut stone which could hardly be surpassed In masslveness and beauty. These steps cost over J500. They were built under the supervision of tho late John P. Hill, of President. He took great pride In (he work and ofton expressed a desire to be present at the dedication of the church, hut it was not to be, as he was stricken with a fatal illness and passed totheotber shore on March 1st last. From the vesti bule swinging doors lead Into the audi torium ou the right and to the lecture room on tho loft. The auditorium, which is 3.2x18 feet, is built in amphitheatre style and is furnished with very comfort able patent curved back oak pews, placed In a semi-circle and converging toward the pulpit, which l sot in an alcove at the center of the back wall. To the right of the pulpit is the choir loft, and nt the left is a door leading to the library, which is 12x11) feet. The auditorium is lighted by two large and harmoniously colored stained glass windows, one at each side, and several smaller windows set in the back wall. In front of the auditorium and connecting with it by means of rolling doors, is the lecture room, 14x2S feet. In this room is plaiod a beaut i I'hl memorial window, the central figure of which is adapted from Plock horst's painting of "The GooSShepheid." The interior finish is in red oak, natural finish, and makes a handsome appear ance. The high arched ceiling of the auditorium is finished in the same wood and set of with bracket work, Thore is also a large, well lighted, cement floor basement. The roof is of slate, with cop por gutters. In the high bell tower over the main entrance is a flue large bell, purchased by tho Junior Epworlli League under the suporinteudoncy of Mrs. J. G. Carson. Three hundred people can be seated comfortably in the now edifice. The total cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of $X,ooo, which was borne equally by Messrs. Siggins and Collins, ami It was presented to the con gregation without a dollar of indebted ness. No collection was allowed to be taken at any of tho services on Sunday and good Bishop Met 'a bo in speaking of Ibis uoleworlhy lad, said Unit this was' the second time during his long life In tho ministry that he had not been allowed to take up a collection at a dedication servics. The congregations on tho Hickory charge, embracing East and West Hick ory, Fagundus and Whig Hill, have re cently completed a $2,300 parsonage, which stands on a lot given by Mr, Sig gins across tho street from the church, and this is nearly free from debt. So in tho light of recent events, the Methodist brethren on that charge have Indued biii plo reason to rejoico and bo tlttd. The mini who looks down mi his neighbors should lake a tumble to himelf.
