CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH DEDI CATED. The Dedicatory Sermon a Great One. Bishop C. B. Galloway, of Missis sippi, preached a grand sermon at Central Methodist Church yesterday morning from the last clause of John 82, "And The Truth Shall Make You Free." His theme was "Liberty.' Cur space is too limited for us to at tempt even a synopsis. The subject was handled by the Bishop in a unique, striking practical and ori ginal manner. He kept the vast audience spell bound and intensely interested for an hour and a quarter, without any vindication that they were aware of the flight of time At the close of his sermon, he stated that in order to perform the dedication ser vice it would be necessary to raise a large sum of money, as the law of che Methodist, Church requires that debts on a church building must be pro vi led for before it can be dedicated. Tben began the most successful and pleasant effor' at raising money that we have ever witnessed Something over scente n hundred dollars in cash and subscriptions, which added to what had already been provided for by subscriptions and otherwise was raised, and the beautiful building of "Central Me hodist Church was formally dedicated to the service of Almighty God to the exclusion of secular or profane uses. There must have been near a thousand people in the building And the Buccess in raising the necessary money seemed to give as much pleasure, and to call forth as hearty congratulations from all present, even from visiting friends from other congregations and from abroad, as the great sermon. Every body seemed delighted with both. In the opening exercises the Bishop was assisted by Revs. Drs. Cunuinggim, Nash, Cordon, Burton and Reed. Serious A ciderit Two Bright Utile Boys Crushed by a Falling Tree. This afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock, during the prevalence of a high wind, two young boys one of them named Johnm Briggs, oldest, son of Mr. Fab H. Hriggs, aged about 10 years, and the other a little son of Mr. J. L. Stone, were playing under a tree in a grove near the residence of Mr Brigfjs, when a tree of considerable size blew down crushing the little fel lows to the earth and causing what is feared to be serious injuries It was almost impossible to get anything like full particulars in time for this issue, but a reporter of the Visitor communicated with the family of Mr Briggs about three o'clock and learned that the unfortunate boys were unconscious. We most earnestly hope that their condifion may not b a as bad as feared. The afflicted par ents have our most heartfelt sympa thy in this, their hour of distress Wanted. A first class Cook.

The race will be run hub and hub, three hundred yards and will be an exciting contest. There v ill also be a parade of tbe Raleigh des partment. Races will commence at 12 o'clock. The Oxford Orpi au Asylum. Our esteemed contemporary, the State Chronicle, in its issue of yester day says: "The Oxford Orphan Asylum is an institution of whicb every patriotic North Carolinian is justly proud. Strictly nonsectarian, it offers a place of refuge to homeless orphans, many of whom will grow up into strong and useful men and women. Next Thurs day is Thanksgiving day and theChro uicle hopes that every reader of that paper will remember the orphans and send them a contribution. All contri butions should be sent to Rev. W. 8 Biack, D. D., superintendent Oxford, N. C " The Visitor inoBt heartily seconds the suggestion, and sincerely hopes that i ts friends and patrons will re member tlffe orphans. There is no bet ter channel in which to direct our charity. Help out the unfortunates. We will all feel better for it. Deat h of Walter B. Wobl. No event in our city' has, of late, created feelings of more profound re gret than the announcement of the death of this gentleman, which took place at his residence on East Hargett Street at 150 o'clock today from typhoid fever. Mr. Woisble was perhaps as widely and as favorably known as any citizen of his years in Raleigh. He had, blended in bis character, all the ele ment s that go to make up popularity Kind, obliging and familiar, he wat3 welcome in all the social circles of life, and his friends were bound to him as with hooks of steel. At the time of his decease he was a member of the Board of Aldermen, in which capacity, he served most faith fully. He was 43 years of age and un married. He leaves numerous broth erB, a sister and many other relativeF to mourn their loss with whom we deeply sympathize. Firing on Fort Sumpter.
