PAPERING CHURCHES.—This is a new fashion, which has grown up lately in Pitttsburg, and one that adds much to the interior neatness and beauty of churches. The Fifth Presbyterian church in Pittsburg has been papered with plain granite walls, and a handsome figure paper on the ceiling. The Disciples' Church, in Allegheny, is papered with granite paper on the walls, with marble columns.—The South Carolina Methodist Church, in Allegheny, is covered with marble paper on the walls, with marble columns supporting cornice. The ceiling is covered with white watered paper. The Gazette says paper combines neatness and cheapness, and can be renewed at small expense—not more than double that of whitewashing.
