Esq., when t!:e follow ing facts were ascertained. On going toyouug l-'inlays n'scell a. six o'clock, with his supper, Deputy Sheriff Smith found it vacaut. Going through the aisle to the back side of the jail, he wa horrified to see yoiin;? Finlayson hang ingby iiis neck to a rop, cold and still iudeath. The sid" of the window was toand broke, and this explained how the rope had been obtained. He had broken tbesldepiece of the window, got ola piece of the rope, divided it hit three strands, which ho tied together, aa I then gains into the jail privy, a low room, fastened ouc end to the iron bars, above, tied the other end to his neck, carl ed up bis legi and deliberate ly strangled to death, showing a grim determination to end life uoteft:i wit nessed.

We take the following from au ex tended article in the Monmouth Herald on the union services beiug held in this city, Alter speaking of the belief of a member of the church which the paper represents, tlio writer says : "Here are six clergymen who have not obeyed that postive command and henc3 our brother does not believe that they have been baptized in Jesus Christ, that thoy are not members of the Church of Christ, In short that they are not ohristlans at all, au yet he can. work harmoniously with them, and thus give his influence to the teaching and practicing of their unscriptural and injurious influence." Aoeording to the above our Methodist, Presbyterian, Evangelial and congre gational friends stand no chanee of be ing saved while they continue their preseut course of doing their own inter preting of the teachings of the Bible, aud when we think of the number who have died in these faiths, our heart is wracked, and we cau not find words to express our sympathy for their descend ents, who are continuing in the same course.

"Mioa Alma btory hat lived in onr city rossj :i. Bee was a graduate ef tbe Porthvn.i High S.hool class of 79.

Whoa we think ef iitr cjntagioua good aatura and pare char adter, we cannot but think she is still with eg in the land of the Uving ; but alas '. The fates have decreed otherwise and many will b the a. lent tear shed by those who wore i.or friends and associates ia life.

In the frout part of the church a gallery has been L-ill ia such a manner as to makoe small ball in the center with two stovo rooms on tliceidus, the whole three practically being apart of tU3 nsiro of tho churcft. Tne slairs to the gallery, a well made aod tasty ttructure, are on the cast aide. On tbe back M v hurch a large lecture room h a bossu , with a small bbrary and stare room on the north side. These will bo neatly furuishe !. Between the lecture room and the naive ot the church the pulpit has been built, with folding doors between ths two, arranged in such a way that there will be one in each room when the do- ia are closed. In the awstter of the pulpit is a commodious baptismal font, which can be entered from th.- IsctasTO room. The pulpit will be very tine looking when finished.
