--There will be entertainment at Wager's Hall to-night(Thursday) consisting of recitations, tableaux and music, both vocal and instrumental, the proceeds to be devoted to the completion of the Episcopal Church. The admission is only 25 cents, and we hope to see a large attendance. Children 10 cents only.
--Bishop Weed will arrive at Titusville on Thursday, the 31st, inst., and at that time will confer the rites of confirmation upon those candidates who are properly prepared. The service will be held in the evening, at the new church, if sufficiently completed; if not, at Wager's Hall.

--Mr. R.L. Decker fell from the roof of the chancel of the Episcopal Church Monday afternoon, about three o'clock, and fractured three ribs on his left side. The staging, which was very slight gave way while he was fastening the cross to the peak of the roof and fell down the roof on to another staging, and from thence to the ground, where he was found in an unconscious condition and remained so even after he had been home for some time. Had it not been that he struck the staging below the roof he would, undoubtedly been killed by the fall, as he would have struck upon a large tool box just below. Dr. Wilson was hastily summoned to the relief of the suffering man, and on Tuesday afternoon he was able to sit up in a chair. Yesterday he walked around a little, but complained of pain from the fractured ribs. While he was very unfortunate in receiving such a fall, it is quite wonderful that he escaped injuries, that were not more severe or fatal.
--The entertainment, given at Wager's hall, last Thursday evening for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, although it was not as largely attended as it would have been had the townspeople been given longer notice, realized the sum of about twenty-five dollars. The programme was a most interesting one, and consisted of recitations, tableaux and music. Miss Walker recited, in her usual good style, "The Legend of Bregenz", and "William Brown and Mary Jane." Mrs. Brown recited a selection which is a general favorite, the title of which we are not acquainted with. All the recitations were encored. The tableaux, "Town Pump", "The First Cigar", and "The Barn-yard Party", were all loudly applauded. Mrs. Turner gave two instrumental selections on the piano, which were highly appreciated, and Miss Edith Altree sang, "I Heard a Spirit Sing", and "Pass Under the Rod." After the entertainment was over ice cream and cake were served, and many boquets were disposed of by the little flower girls. We hope to see another entertainment of this kind given ere long, and hope that a little more time will be given to advertise it to the people.
