Our Centreport correspondent writes as follows: The exoltement In the Bellman's church matter culminate! on 8unday in the refusal of the parties oppose! to the Rev.

a. 8. Apple to allow hlin to eater ths ohuroh. The regular time for services, ai announced heretofire.was on Sunday morning, Dec. 6, at ten o'clock.

Threats had been made by the opposing faction that the minister would not be permitted to conduct the service, therefore bii friends made all necessary preparations, as they thought tbat be should need, even to the extent of haviueSherirTKempandoneof his deputies on the Ground to prevent a disturbance, but when the nilufster and hl friend arrived it was found that the oppi'lt'on had guarded the church during the previous night. They had the doors all locked iid guarded by some of their stalwarts and had two constables there to arrest any one who attempt ed to open them. When the time arrived to commence, Mr. Appel and some of his friends went to the t'onr where be usually goes In and asked permission to go iu, which was refused. They then went lo each ol lue other two doors and were refused likewise.

Thereupon Rev. 8. Apple announced that services would beheld In four weeks from last Sunday at ten o'clock a. and tbat an eleoi ion for elders and deacons wuuld be beld immediately after the services. Ue then told the people to go home, which they accordingly proceeded to do.

The parties who closed the church and refused admission will, it is said, be prosecuted, and tii" case will then be tested in court. Tbe following additional particulars in regard to the troubles at the Belleruan's church are furnished by Richmond L. Junes and Adam H. Hchmrhl, EgA, attorneys for the Appel party: "tSonio dissailnactiou having arisen in a part of the congregation at Belleman's church with the pastor, ft was proposed to hold an election to take the sense of the congregation as to whether he mould continue as partor or not. The consistory the duly authorized body of the congregation directed su election to be held, subject to certain regulations which they fully prescribed, aud also determined who were qualified to vote.

Upon the day of election the poll was taken possession of by violence, the election was held by other persons than those authorized by the consistory and all persons who offered were admitted to vote without retard to the qualifications defined by the consistory. One oi the elders a member of tbe con Kistory then gave notice that no election would be held, and only the partisans of one side voted. The cousit tory aft trwards declared that that pretended election was Irregular aud void, and did not express the sense of the congregation. The church service appointed to be held yesterday was interrupt sd and disturbed by a number of persons, who forcibly prevented tbe congregation and pastor from entering, and complaint having been made those trous. numbering about 20, will be arrested and tried at the January sessions for Interrupting and disturbing a religious meeting, Which is an out use against the law." I.

0. Becker, attorney lor the antl Appel party, pays: "Kev. Appel hinuell ordered a new election for pastor, and the voting was for and against him. We contend that tbe election was held in accor dance with the enur laws, wnicn provided tnai there shall be cue elder and two deacons. Some iimasL'o the ADnel party elected an additional elder.

The auti Appel paity are willing to submit their case to a court, It the election is not legal then we are willing that he should preach until another is held."

There may be a strange and novel fascination in marrying by telegraph.

Quite a number have braved the risky method, in different parti oi tne country, out it is naraiy a sale way in the long run, for there are serious legal doubts about the validity of such marriages, and if brought into courts tbe decision is liable to be adverse. The law journals do not discuss the possibilities iavorably, and for safety it will be better for parties marrying by telegraph to pat on me ceremony until some more favorable opportunity, If OK llseiie Aronnd Sinkinsr Snrlaiar.

Wilmington evidently to grow. That is, there are some energetic men in that region who will "push things" regardless of the small support they receive from the bulk of the oitizens who, beoause they know it can never compete with Philadelphia, tbink it should never grow any bigger anyhow. Superintendent Coulten, of the National Dredging Company says to a Morning News reporter "We iniend to construct our wharves and build, not caring whether the city comes to us or not. We are in nnmmnnication with several large manufac turing firms, and intend, ii possible and I think it is to get these parties here. We will offer them inducements and get the thing started.

Aside frsm this, there are possibilities for Wilmington which lie in another direction." And from his pocket he drew a map, well marked. By this be explained how it was possible in this age of railroad combinations for a route to be run from an outside point to and from the river front to Pennsgrove by transports, and there connect with any of the numerous roads that run like net work over oentral New Jersey. This would open up almost the whole of southern New Jersey for Wilmington competition, and would extend Wilmington industry greatly. If in the future, he thought, it would be found necessary to open a new line to New York, where New and southern interests would unite, then the route by way of Pennsgrove and Wilmington would be the only available one.

North American. Selecting Tbelr Seats Promptly. The new members of the State Legislature, on repairing to Harnsburg at the beginning of the session, are usually surprised to find that the only seats available for their occupancy are those ''around the edges." In the Senate, this is not so very important, but In the House, where the membership is so large and the room so crowded with seats, it becomes quite a ser ious matter. Those on the outer row, and in the distant corners, can bear the proceedings only with difficulty. years ago, lie pre sentative Nathan (iarrelt, ot Delaware county, on repairing to the Capitol, found that the places, as usual, bad been taken, and that the only one available for him was on the outside line, nnaer a window, wnere tne a ran was unpleasant and almost dangerous.

This year, he was too wise to be oaught that way, and rumor baa it tbat tbe day after the election i riend Garrett left promptly for Harrisbnrg to follow tie custom or tne old members, ana engage comfortable seat. If the members from Berks have not learned this trick it is to be feared that there won't be much choice for them where to sit. Old Farm Bonding ta Lebanon To. On tbe farm belonging to Samuel Becker, in Mil Ic reek township, Lebanon county, on the road leading from Womelsdorf to ScbaefTer town, armed by Henry Beonetch, where a barn was recently burned, stands a large two story stone house, which was erected in tbe year 1770. The door frames are ot silver sandstone, The house bears unmistakable signs that it was erected in the time when Indians were still nnmerous.

A frame shop near the house was erected in 1765. The inside woodwork is still substantial and good for another 100 years, be ing far stronger and heavier tban any building would be made at present. Around the garden is a fence made up of sandstone posts, whioh bear the date of 1790. These are considered tbe best preserved buildings for their age in Lebanon county. a Witnesses In Harder Trial.

I Mi tr Be view of the Iroa Market, A "JjrwAari movsmsvt raoai.st.ii No'jirriiHtti SI0NS FSLV AS 'TO BUMHgSS.T'' The sales oi pig iron and iron aud tol rails lat week were fudy as Urge as any week since September. In all other kinds of iron there was less than the average of business transacted. The foreign stocks of pig began to move off quite freely at moderate prices, uuder a pressure for money, occasioned by a tight money market and the necessity for the usual half yearly settlements at the close of the year. Foundry man and pipe men, and others, who can use this iron with their own, finding an upward tendency in the market, concluded to anticipate their wants, aud hence this depletion of stocks; but this movement was arretted last week by advices telegraphed to hold. For the best gradee, however.

the market is very firm, and makers are not disposed to concede to secure business. There are no stocks anywhere, and consumption is progressing at a rate tbat will demand the entire product of the furnaces In blast. Any change which may come will be in the direction of higher prices; yet no causes exist for any sudden advauco. keeping in view the idle furnace capacity awaiting stronger prices. Vurnacemen think an advance of from one to two dollars dem nded, and that such figures can be reached as the forelgu stocks disappear That an upward movement is possible and probable is evident when we consider that the Immense volume of raw and finished iron wbich has been i ported during tbe past year will in all probability be made In home fur naces and mills.

This is one factor; tbe Increased demand following in the wake of railroad construction is another, Those who htve contracted for iron to cover business are willing to see an advance, tales last week were made at S46nui6.SU for No. 1 and in some cases at S26; No. 2 iron from HI to (23; gray forge iron about SI9OIU.50 at lur naco. There Is no difiiculsy met with if holders will concede a little to buyers. Last week several hundred tons blooms were sold at (05 to (A7 lor best charcoal.

Hitherto the market has been dull, interior quality sold at (60. Southern blooms dragged at (06. 1 be move ments of bar iron have been a little more animated. Buyers are anxious to buy, aud orders could be booked for large quantities of iron if buyers' terms were accepted, but the margin of profit Is narrow, and business cannot be taken at less than from 2 3 10 to 2.4 luo. Theaverage figure is 2 M.

A fair amount of business has been taken, and the mills manage to keep a fow weeks' work ahead. Inquiries continue to indicate a large demand awaiting satisfactory conditions. No apprehensions are felt as to business. In plate iron a fair demand is maintained. Tank is quiet; no large sales have been beard of.

The mills have enough old orders ou band to carry them along several weeks. There Is very little tendency to stronger prices, an abuudanoeof work being the first consideration. Sheet iron is once more active. The mills are all busy. Old rails are quoted higher than last week, being now (28 forD and S17 asked tor tees, but purchases can be made at Bteei rail mills are taking orders for tbe last half of next year at about (60.

The requirements of railroad construction preis more heavily on our deficient capaoity, but at the present rate of progress in increasing capacity of production only a lew mouths will elapse beiore American mills can meet all demands, The next year's production is placed at 1,250,1100 tons and for pig iron this year 3,800,000 tons Pufa.
