The talent employed in this concert, with the exception of Four gentlemen, was furnished by the ladies and con­ sisted in solos, trios, quartettes, with recitations and tableaux. The choir has been instrumental in hnving musical institutes conducted a t different times for thef improve - ment of the congregational music. Among them wri have the record of one conducted by Prof L. G, Pes setiden in the early 60s. He was at that time professor of music in Anti och College, which was then, in its palmiest days* Then Prof, J . Addison Browp, Xenia, conducted another institute in the winter of 18934. when the Bible Songs were introduced into the Sab ' . hath school services, and the last in stifuie was conducted by Prof* A* C. McClelland, New Wilmington, Pa.,in Nov, 1899. For his services as direc­ tor he received $75 and ail expenses, His work closed with a concert under his direction, the proceeds of whloh almost met the- full Amount of his salary and expenses. A host of events of various char acter come. hack as one thinks of those days, from which it is difficult to make selections; and it seems bet­ ter, as when One overhauls ft chest of old time memories, to lay «H back in the chambers of memory where they belong and let' them he unrecomitcd. But as often as wo recall' the varied experiences Of that period , we find ourselves wishing that Robert Jack- sou’s Old Choir could have, had Psalter and Bible Songs and organ. With such furnishing, the sweet mel­ ody that must have been made, would have Soothed and quieted the troubled spirit; whose presence was Sometimes manifest ,in the church of that day* Anthems were introduced into the services' about the time when the con­ gregation entered the present house of worship, and have been used quite regularly ever since, but the organ although authorised by a vote of ses­ sion over seven years ago ■Ha* .fcevftf itfcn used in connection with the pub­ lic praiso service of the congregation, Whileihe subject of the purchase arid use of a pipe organ has been broached, and has been the dream cherished by the b ii not m 0 «# I l f cbrystallized, as to allow UBto predict with certainty when such a step will be-taken^-Itis beyond doubt' that at no distant day the movement will take shape and' the long cherished dream .will be realized. The present members of- the choir are as follows; Mrs. Lucy Barber, leader; J , ’Alvin, Stormont, assistant. Sopranos, .Mrs, Lucy Barber, Miss Lulu .Barber, Miss Eftie .Duffield, Miss Edna Townsley and Miss Alma Dobbins, Altos, Miss Maria Tarttox, Miss Lfflu Smith,;,Miss.Glara Jackson rand Miss; Alfaretta Hammond. Tenors,'Messrs. J , .Alvin- StqrWnt, Clifford W. Bull,-R. A.. Brown and Dr* M*T, Marsh, Basses. Messrs. S < Williamson, Ralph Bull, Robert Col­ lins and’James Mitchell, The choir has always been remark­ ably free from the proverbial choir wrangle.- Throughout its history, perfect harmony has prevailed.' The. work of preparation- for the praise service, and the concerts haB always been most pleasant and many tender associations linger in ,the memory,-and the members recall with pleasure, the manyhappy-hours spent in rehearsal in the years long gone. ■• / . During all the years of its exist­ ence, the leaders and members of the choir have given their services gratui­ tously,' and, many of them have la-' bored for years without receiving any expression of thanks, lookingfor their reward in the improved rendering of praise. They hqve' done their work Well, and most worthily have they acquitted themselves throughout' all the - years of its history, a. history reaching, baek beyond forty years. With all the perfection of the choir, it has never displaced the ' congrega­ tional singing atid th£ credit is due to the choir for much-of the good, sing­ ing of the congregation. The present choir could not possets a greater stimulus to effort than, the remarkable history to which it cari lay claim. I t s . past success and achievements are an evidence that higher excellence may yet he-at­ tained, and the perusal of its history reveals the only,way; that of faithful, honest and untiring work, in which that attainment is to. be reached JURORS DRAWN.

Massies Creek at this place occupies a deep channel or valley'cut-dp to the lower silverian limestone rock. The trenton or oil and gas bearing rock lies at tbe base of the lower silverian, which is more or less cavernous. Natural gas may be found -occupying the huge caverns of the lower- silveriun member of lock’and such may-be the origin of the burning gas’ at this point., The gas was discovered bubbling up at an excavation containing water*- The beautiful fossil remains of the lower silverian taken by the writer from, tbe quarry at this place, on exhibition at his hou^ei places the gas jet tu this measure aud makes it probable that a shaft at the point in question suuk 1GGto 150 feet W'ould penetrate, gas cavern. ' It is' possible- though riot probable that the vast-mriss ol .decay­ ing material of the old reservoir above may have so saturated the, bottom Jand'aB to occasion the escape- ,of car- barated hydrogen., of. burning gas at the place of the jet and the issue of gas therefrom would prove its origin to be from - a cavernous reservoir of gas.

This was succeeded in 1824 by a stone edifice Ihirty-sik by forty ieet, ip the cemetery , on the bank of "Mnssie’s Creek.
