PUBLICANS' LICENSES. Saturday last was the
annual licensing day for Dorchester district of the
oonnty.—Themagistratespresent were: H. Williams,
Esq., Captain blaming, Major Steward, H. C.
Goodden and G. T. Bullock, Esqs. • Mr. Weston applied
fora license for the Cove Inn, Portland, belonging to
the occupier, John Way, who was described as the
father of the fishermen, and from whose house alone
a eight of the sea could be obtained, and therefore
was used as a sort of look out by mariners, who often
required spirit..—Mr. Tizard, who opposed, said
there were already three licensed houses within a
quarter of a mile, and this house was so close to the
sea that an unfortunate wave might some day wash it
away.—License refused.—Mr. Tizard applied for a
license for the Albert refreshment rooms, near the
pier at Castletown, occupied by Charlotte Garrett.
—Mr. Symonds opposed on the ground that there
were already three licensed houses within gun-shot,
and that the trade in that part of the island was
not likely to increase.—Application refused.—Mr.
Weston applied for a license for the Victoria Lodge
Inn, occupied by George Lane,—Captain Manning,
to whom this house belongs, left the Bench
while this application was being discussed.
The applicant founded his claim for a license
on the ground that the Portland railway would end
near this spot, and the site was an admirable one
for a "Terminus HoteL"—Mr. Tizard opposed, and
said it was likely to be many a long day, he thought, '
before the house would be required for the accom-
modation of railway travellers. The application
was adjourned till the 27th September, the magis-
trates being desirous of being better informed as to
probabilities of the railway being carried out, and
also as to the capabilities of the house.—Mr. Tizard
applied for a license for the Albion, situated on the
top of the hill, in the occupation of Joseph Bird.—
Mr. Symonds opposed, and said the cause of this ap-
plication being made was, that the house was the
property o( Messrs. Mason, Aldridge, and Co.
Application' refused.—Mr. Tizard applied for a
license for the Royal Standard, occupied by Mr.
Townsend. The house was in the same state as
last year when an application was made. —Mr.
Symonds, in opposing, said that the same objections
which last year held good, must hold good this year
also. Application refused.—Mr. Tizard applied for
a license for Alexander Stevens. The house was a-
new erection, called the Bridge Inn, situated in the
parish of Radipole, on the Dorchester side, by the
high road leading to Weymouth. The applicant had
conducted the house with great respectability. A new
neighbourhood was rising up here, and five houses
were already tenated. Besides these, a number of
villas were being erected on dile side of the road
leading to Weymouth. Ths house contained ten
rooms, beside the cellar, bat no stable was attached.
Mr. Symonds opposed, contending that the house
was not necessary. Application refused. —Mr.
Weston applied for a license at the Maiden Newton
Railway Station. The notices having been proved,
and no opposition being raised, the application was
granted.- -Mr. Symonds applied for a license for
Mr. George Scutt, of Martinstown. There is no
licensed house or beershop at present in the parish,
and there is a large fair held here once a year which
is numerouslattended, and during which, hitherto a
be numr of house. were opened, under what is
termed "the holly bush." This, however,
under the new Act would not be permitted. The
clergyman of the parish concurred in the application.
—Mr. Weston, who opposed, objected to the notice,
as Mr. George Scutt, junr. said he did not compare
the several notices word by word, nor read them
over with anyone. He simply read them through
and found they agreed. He also objected that the
house was at present in the occupation of Ann
Greensmith, and that the magistrates could not
therefore tell who would keep it, as Mr. Scutt would
not keep it himself.—The Bench considered the
notice to be good. Mr. George Scutt, senr., said he
had taken some pains to ascertain the feeling of the
pariah, and so far as he knew it it was itp favour of a
license being granted. He had heard of no opposi-
tion to it. —The application was granted.—Mr.
Andrews applied for a license of a house to be called
the Royal George, at present used as • beerhouse,
and occupied by G.aorge Clark. It was situated in
the parish of Charminster, on the high road betwten
Dorchester and Cerne Abbas. A memorial in favour
of a license was presented, signed by the two over-
seers, Mr. Derenish and Mr. Wallace Fyfe. Mr.
Andrews did not think it necessary to get any more
signatures, as Mr. Fyfe was a host in himself, as,
being the Editor of the Chronicle, he of course knew
the wants of the county.—Mr. Weston opposed and
objected to the notice, the copy of which, on being
produced, not being dated, the Bench ruled that the
objection was fatal.—Mr. Weston applied for a
license for Edward Edwards, residing at AVyke. The
house was a newly-built one, and contained ten bed-
rooms. Thera was no opposition, but there being
already two licensed houses in the village, the appli-
cation was refused.

THE SMALL Pox IN Slisil".-1 correspondent of
the Tones writing under the signature of " Dorsttahire,
Dorebester," in reference to the smallpox in sheep,
says :—We are threatened with a serious blow to our
agricultural interest; and I hope you will allow me
through your columns to draw attention to the danger,
and to Point out some of the more obvious remedies.
You have already brought before the public, the out-
break of smallpox among the flock at Allington, in
Wiltshire, which has already spread to one or more
flocks in the vicinity. The disease is a rare one in
England, and few of the farmers or dealers, whose,
chief talk is about it, have any idea what it means if
it spreads and gets full head on these densely stocked
sheep hills. I, who have seen it raging in lies favoured
climes, and can remember the ruin it worked, and the
rapidity with which it extended itself, am surprised at
the apathy shown here, where so large a property is at
stake. In Australia, had such a diabase broken out,
the flock would at once bare been destroyed and
burnt ; and, in all human probability, the plague would
at once have been stayed. I cannot see why such a
course should not be adopted here, the county paying
the value, which be will saved a hundredfold if the
neighbouring flockmasters eecape. This is the more
advisable if we consider the season of the year and the
locality of the disease.. The great autumn sheep fairs
are drawing near, the chief of which are held at
Wilton, Waybill, and Applesbaw. At these fairs
some hundreds of thousand sheep ordinarily change
hands, brought together from all the sheep-breeding
districts of Dorset, Hants, and Wiltshire, and dis-
persed after sale through Berke, Kent, and the
metropolitan counties. As Allington lies on the high
road between Wilton and WeYhill, and is not five'
miles distant from either locality, the holding of these
fairs this year in their accustomed places will simply
bring together a multitude of animals from (aunties
which are hitherto safe, and will keep them for a week
in an infected atmosphere, in constant contact and in
that excited state of body most apt to contract disease.
When the mischief has been done the crowd will
separate; the flocks which are sold will carry the
Infection to the Eastern counties, while those which
return unsold will take back the plague to their homes.
Under any but an English rule the remedy would be
obvious. The Government would prohibit the holding
of fairs during this year in the infected districts. A
cordon would be drawn round that district, and the
sale of sheep from parties within it to parties residing
beyond the line would be prohibited, and these precau-
tions would be carried out under the surveillance of a
proper officer. In free England nothing of this kind
will be done, it being part of our freedom that my
neighbour, being • fool, should have the power, by the
free exercise of his policy, of ruining me, • prudent
man, who has the misfortune to live next to him. We
cannot hope for the interference of Government, even
in the danger of one of our great national industries ;
but the flockmasters themselves can do something. I
would urge them to lose no precious time, but at ones
in each county to form committees of the moat in-
fluential farmers. Let them appeal to their neighbours-
for combined lotion, either to send no sheep to Wilton
or Weyhill, or, if sent, to engage that they shall be
sold, whatever the loss may be, and under no circum-
stances be brought back, to bring disease among the
breeding flocks. Let all the large sheep dealers be in-
formed of th;s resolution, and let the farmers engage
that they will refuse for the future to deal with any
man who shall bring back sheep from the tainted
localities. Such action, adopted generally, would
afford a hope of escaping • great misfortune, which, if
checked till winter, twill probably disappear upon the
cold weather. My letter may make people think. A
few words of endorsement from you ma leading article
might produce immediate action, and save us from the
evil of dear food and clothes.

SUTTON POINTZ.—We are pleased to find that
Mr. Alfred Pope, who gained the Feeffees's Exhibi-
tion at the Dorchester Grammar School in 1859,
third son of John Allen Pope,Esq., of Sutton Pointz,
has very successfully passed his first examination
in the law. This is the 31st French student prepared
by M. Gaston for examination, all of whom
passed.
WEYMOITTH.—On Tuesday James Ackland was
charired before the borough magistrates with assault-
ing John Ford. Case diamissed.—Sarah Willis was,
at the same time charged with assaulting Mrs.
Newton, of St. Edmund-street. The case was
proved by a neighbour, Mrs. Marsh..- Defsndant
was fined 2s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. costs, or 14 days' im-
prisonment.
SIGNIFICANT 1—£20,000,000 in Bank of England
notes, with a small additional country circulation,
suffices for the commerce of England, 'bile the
Federal States of America have already authorised
an ismer of notes which will raise their paper circula-
tion to more than £100,000,000. This comparison,
taken with the premium on gold in the mother
country at 20 per cent., gives us an idea of the im-
portant contrast of the financial position of the two
countries at the present moment
TAKING A DROP TOO MUCH.--Henry Chick was
charged with being drunk and assaulting, the police.
Mr. Howard appeared for the defendant, who he
acknowledged had had a little too much to drink
after work; but as he VMS on his way home, on the
Dorchester road, he submitted that it would have
been better had the policeman on that beat not taken
any notice of him, especially as another policeman
and also Sergeant Brine had not interfered with
him when lie passed them.—Fined ss. for drunken-
ness, and 45. costs.

Ma. AND MSS. W. F. *INDHAX ACIAIN.—At the
Hammersmith Police Court, on Tuesday, Amelia
Reeves, aged 19, a servant, was placed in the dock
before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing 61b, of loaf
sugar, and 61b of moist sugar, velne 6a. 3c1., the property
of Mr. W. F. Windham, of An. 3 A, Upper West-
bonnie-terrace, Paddington.—Mr. Sayre, from the office
of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-Meet, appeared
for the prosecutiot ; and Mr. Martin for the prisoner.
—lt appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
been in the servioe of Mr. Windham as housemaid for
two months. On Monday, Mr. Chattel, of Upper
Seymour-street, who had served the iraecutor with
grocery for the last three months, sent some goodS to
Mr. Windham's house, among which were the two
parcels of sugar. On the same day a little girl, who
worked for Mr. Windham's charwoman, weiit to the
house to inquire for her mistress, and the prisoner
answered her. She also told the girl to wait, and she
brought up the area steps the two parcels of sugar, and
gave them to her, requesting her at the same time to
fetch a cab. The girl, thinking something was wrong,
declined to go for a cab, and remained outside with the
sugar. Mr. Windbag' bad his attention drawn to the
transaction and he called • constable, who went to the
girl and took the sugar from her. Mr. Windham
informed the (*astable that he had discharged the
prisoner. He gave her into custody, and the prisoner
told the officer that she had ordered the sugar of a
grocer to take home to her father, and that she always
took him something when she went home as • present,
and lie returned it twofold whenever she left her situa-
tion. At the station a large bunch of keys was found
in her pocket, and she afterwards stated Mr. Windham
gave them to her to throw away.—Mr. Payne said the
keys opened every place in the house, and that since
this charge had been given other things had been missed.
—The prisoner said Mrs. Windham never locked up
anything from her. She also said that when Mrs.
Windham went to the theatre she never locked her
jewel-box, and if she (the prisoner) had wished to be a
thief she bad every opportunity of being one before.
She denied having been discharged, and said she gave
notice to leave—Mr. Chattell was called to prove that
he sent the two parcels of sugar as part of the order for
Mr. Windham.—Mr. W. F. Windham stated that his
wife engaged the phsoner about two months ago. He
had had suspicion of her. One of his servants informed
him that two parcels had gone out of the house, and he
then nailed a constable. Since the prisoner had been
taken into custody he had made an examination of his
house, and had missed plate, and a number of different
things. The keys found upon the prisoner opened his
plate chest and the different drawers in his wife's room.
Among them was a duplicate key of his cellar, from
which he missed wine. Cross-examined.—l believe the
prisoner acted as lady's-maid to my wife as well as being
housemaid. I never interfere with the women-servants.
The prisoner was in the habit of ordering grocery and
other things for the house.—Mr. Martin.—Mrs. Wind-
ham was very kind to her; I believes she gave her a
gold watch—Mr. Windham.—A watch worth £6 10s.,
for which I paid. She was a great deal too kind.—Mr.
Ingham, looking at the keys, said,—l must remand the
prisoner for a week. I shall not accept bail. The
prisoner on being removed from the dock, exclaimed
that Mr. Windham was madi
WYKE.—Stnomz.—On Tuesday an inquest was
held at the Passage Bridge Inn, before G. Symonds,
Esq., on the body of George Bradshaw, of the 53rd
Regiment. It appeared that while on sentry on the
beach between Portland and Abbotabury, he tied a
piece of string to the trigger, and fastened it to his
foot, and afterwards placed the muzzle of his gun
under his chin. The ball passed through his head.
The jury returned a verdict that deceased destroyed
himself, but thatthere was no evidence to show the
state of mind he was in when he committed the act.

Thursday, 21st. iv* the anneal tea meeting in
connection with the National School of this village,
took place in the park of-W. R. Fryer, Eeq., kindly

POOLE.—MONSTER PIC•NIC AND TEMTERANCI
GALA AT UPTON PAM—The committee of the
Poole Temperance Society, having made arrange-
ments for a grand temperance fete and Band oEHope
tea, to take place in the delightful grounds of Upton
Park, on Tuesday, the 26th ult., all the juvenile
portion of Poole and the surrounding neighbourhood
had been on the qui vice for a long time past. On
' the morning in question, the Band of Hope, bearing
beautifully illuminated flags and banners, and the
friends of the cause._ started at ten o'clock a. m., from
the Temperance Hall, Hill-street, in about thirty
wagons and other descriptions of vehicles. After
proceeding through the principal streeta,accompanied
by Harman's Poole Brass Band, and the Whitchurch
Temperance Band, they wended their way to the
Park. At twelve o'clock 'wickets were pitched for
a friendly game of cricket between eleven abstainers
and eleven non-abstainers, of Poole, and the game
was closely watched by the friends of both parties.
We append the score, from which it will be seen
that the abstainers won the victory with a few runs
to spare. and three wickets to go down. The
game, which lasted about sir hours, created much
interest, and there were also numerous other amuse-
ments provided by the committee; and the quality
and cheapness of the edibles were beyond all praise.
Dancing, and that sine qua non of every joyous
gathering—kiss-in-the-ring, was greatly patronised
by the youths of both sexes, but the latter seems to
claim the preference. The music discoursed by
both bands was of the most " foot-stirring" descrip-
tion, and earned highly flattering encomiums for the
performers. About 1500 persons scattered over the
various lovely spots in the park, and, as the weather
was all that could be desired, everything passed off
with the greatest good huni,,ur and hilarity. About
5 o'clock a public meeting was held under the trees,
when numerous addresses were delivered. The
startling facts brought before the attention of the

audience seemed to make a strong imptersion on the
minds of many, and we doubt not that the result of
the fête will be sten in the enrolment, of many under
the temperance standard,

PRICSiNTATION TO MISS WILKINSON OF POOLS.
—On Thursday the boys and girls com-
prising the singing class connected with St.
James Church, under the able tuition of Miss
Wilkinson. presented that lady with a handsomely
bound edition of " Wilmott's Poets of the 18th
Century," for her kind services in instructing them
in music and singing. On the fly leaf of the volume
was printed in gold a short and appropriate address,
to which was appended the names of the subscribers.
We wish the clam every success.
GAS.—We are glad to state that gas-light is
about to be extended to some places adjoining the
town, not yet enjoying that accommodation. A
new main is being laid down from the works at New
Quay, along Mount Lane, the Parade, and the
Bournemouth Read, to supply the new residences of
J. C. A. Brine, and T. Tii,elben, Es.irs., and the
new buildings .of Mr. Wickham. No doubt the
pipes will. ere long, be carried on to Parkstone
which, from its increasing population, much need;
its illuminating powers. We understand that
Longfleet will be lighted up before the ensuing
winter.

.•
CAUTION.—We would caution persons who have
the charge of horses with vehicles, against leaving
them unattended in the streets, as in this hot weather
the animals are much tormented by different insects,
causing them often to start suddenly, and run great
risk of an accident. On Monday morning a horse
thus left became restive, and backed the cart which
it was drawing into the shop window of Mr. William
E. Crawley, ironmonger, breaking a portion of the
framework, and four or live squares of glass.
ST. PAUL'S SUNDAY SCHOOLS. —The scholars and
teachers of these schools held their anniversary on
Wednesday afternoon, in • field near the Poole
Foundry, kindly lent for the occasion by lasso
Steele, Esq. About 283 children, and 34 teachers
and friends sat down to tea; after which a variety of
innocent games were introduced, until they were
called to separate by the shades of evening.
WISLIYAN SUNDAY SCHOOLS. —The scholars and
teachers in connection with these Sunday Schools,
celebrated the 53rd anniversary of their establish-
ment, on Tuesday last. The children, about 300 in
number, met at the schoolroom about half-past two
o'clock, and proceeded through the principal streets,
headed by the drum and life band of the Fourth
Dorset (Poole) Rite Corps, to • field in Mount Lane,
kindly lent by I. Steele Esq., where they were
regaled with a plentiful supply of plum cake and
tea. About 6 o'clock 150 of the friends and
teachers had tea together under the shade of a row
of trees. • In the evening many persons connected
with the congregation visited the field, and joined
with the children in a variety of innocent sports, do.
About half-past eight a large balloon amended as •
signal to leave the field. The evening was remark-
ably calm, and the balloon pitched at Seldown,
within the sight of the assemblage. The National
Anthem was then sung, and • procession hastily
formed. The company proceeded to the front of Mr.
Steele's residence, where loud cheers were given
for his kindness in allowing them the field. The
children and teachers quickly repaired to their
respective homes, greatly pleased with their after-
noon's enjoyment.
We understand that it is the intention of
Mr. Wanhill to run one of his vessels (the James
Manlaws) as a packet between this port and Cher-
bourg. There could not be • vessel better adapted
for the purpose, and it will be the means of opening
a new and prosperous trade to our port.
KINSON.—As Thomas Luther, carter to Mr. C.
Cutler, was removing a load of straw from a rick
which was situated near an embankment, he found
on the top of it a rabbit stop, containing five young
nee The rick was nearly 15 feet high.
BOIJRNESI.OIJTEI—It is determined to take
the nectresary steps for extending the -Dorset and
Somerset Railway (amalgamated by Act of Parlia-
ment during the last session), to Poole and Bourne-
mouth. This will Complete the junction of the
Bristol and English Channel, and bring the import-
ant port of Cardiff within four hours of Poole. We
are only able this week to announce the factoand to
congratulate the town on the proximate completion
of the hopes of 20 years.
HAWECHURCH. Cortaxonsrion OP Br.
JOHN'S CHURCH.—This church was duly consecrated
by the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, on Thursday,
August 28th. The old church of Hawkchurch,
which has stood for nearly 600 years, being in a
very decayed state, was taken down last year and
has been entirely re-built, with the exception of the
tower, which has been thoroughly repaired. Most
of tbe materials used in rebuilding are new, with the
exception of the columns and arches that support the
roof of the nave, and these are portions of the old
church; the chancel arch is also a portion of the old
church, but its situation is now farther east. The
structure consists of a nave, chancel, north and
south aisles, sacristy, and • tower at the west end.
It comprises several styles of architecture, namely r
the nave, Norman • the tower, perpendicular ; and
the chancel and aide aisles, decorated. The tower
I contains five bells and a clock. The interior of the
church is approached by three entrances, the two
principal of which are at the west and south, and
the third is by a small door on the north through the
eacristry. The chancel is furnished with an altar,
sedelia, and credence table. The altar is covered
with red and blue, the antipendal is blue on which
is embroidered the sacred monogram, the top is
covered with red, and the whole is fringed with
blue and white. It is elevated on four step,
of polished Purbeck marble, the pavement between
each is inlaid with encaustic tiles, those forming the
sacrarium and footpace are of a beautiful pattern.
The chancel stalls and altar rails are of oak.. The
roof throughout is of stained deal. The whole
of the windows in the chancel are filled with
stained glass, that in the east deserves par-
ticular notice. It contains three figures, namely,
St Peter—underneath, on a scroll "Jesus said unto
him, Feed my sheep." In the centre, the Good
Shepherd—underneath, " Salvator Mundi," " I am
the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am
known of mine." and the third, et. John,
with "Perfect love casteth out fear •"—under-
neath, and in the upper oempaitmput, a
double triangle. That on the NortE, over
the credence table, contains this inscrip
tion, "For as often as ye eat this breed and
drink this cup ye do chew the Lord's death until he
come." Around the arch, above the window,
"Except ye eat of the flesh of the Sou of Man and
drink his blood, ye have no life in you." On the
South are two windows above the sedelia and
stalls; they contain on the windows and above the
arches, "Seeing then that we have a great high
priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son
of God, let us hold fast our profession ;" "Now is
come salvation and strength, and the wisdom of
our God, and the power of his grace ;" "A just
God and a Savour, there is none beside me; Look
unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth."
"This God is our God for ever and ever; he will be
our guide unto death." The windows in the nave
and aisles are all filled with plain gleam. The pulpit
is of Bath stone, beautifully carved, and stands at
the east end of the nave, opposite to which on the
South are placed the prayer-desk of oak, and
lectern of stained deal. The nave and North
and South aisles are filled with open seats of stained
deal. The font is placed at the West side of the
South door. The eacristry or vestry is separated
from the chancel and nave by an oak screen. In
the North aisle is a fine toned harmonium. On the
walls of the North and South aisles are several in-
teresting monuments removed from the old church.
The church is very substantially built of stone
with Ham dressings. Both externally and in
ternally there are some well executed stone carvings
The consecration service took place at 11 o'clock
a procession was formed at the rectory by
the Bishop and about twenty-three clergymen,
amongst whom were the Rev. E. C. Adams (rector),
Rev. Dr. Hodges, Rev. J. Marsh, Rev. E. R
Breton, Rev. F. S. Hutchings, Rev. T. L
Montefiore, Rev. W. Tringham, Rev. Hurtable,
Rev. R. B. Broadley, Rey. R. M. Evanson, ke. fie.
Having reached the west door of the church they
proceeded up the centre aisle, the Bishop and Clergy
reading the 24th Psalm. As soon as his lordship
reached the altar, a most lively and beautiful
voluntary was performed on the harmonium, after
which followed the usual consecration prayers. The
deed of consecration was read by the Rev. Dr.
Hodges, of Lyme Regis. The usual morning service
was then proceeded with, the prayers being read by
the Rev. E. C. Adams, rector; the firstlesson by
the Rev. Huxtable; and the second by the Rev.
R. B. Broadley. The introit which followed the
prayers was an hymn for the occasion. Then
followed the communion service, which was read by
the Bishop, the Epistle by the Rev. S. Hutchings,
and the Gospel by the Bishop, after which followed
the Nicene Creed. The Bishop thin proceeded
to the pulpit, and preached an exc, llent sermon
from Psalm 118, v. 17. The Holy Communion was
then administered by the Bishop. During the

reading of the offertory sentences' a collection was
made, which amounted to ide. The morning
service being concluded the Bishop and Clergy
returned again to, the reetorYi Whet*. with several
of the leading gentry of the neighbourhood they
were entertained by the Res. E. C. and Mrs.
Adams, to whom great praise is due for their seal in
so effectively carrying out the work of restoration, of
which the new church of elt, John's, Hawk-
church, will ever be • lasting monument.
For the occasion the church was beautifully deco-
rated with dowers and evergreens. Above the
altar Was this inscription, "We have an advocate
with the Fathdr, emus Christ the righteous, and Be
is the propitiation fot ofrr sins." The musical ser-
vices were under the direction of Mr. W. Moore,
organist of Lyme Regis, who prerided on the bar.
onium; the choir were from Lyme Chun& the
music for the Venite, Te Deum, and Jubilatei
composed by Mr. W. Moore, and gave great antis,
faction. The proper Psalms were sung instead of
read.—The Evening Service commenced at sir
o'clock. Prayers were read by the rector, the Rev.
C. Adams, and an esoellent sermon was preached
by tho Rev. R. M. Evanson, frail I Kings, ch. is.
v. 3, after which • collection was made, which
amounted to £2 13a; making a total of nearly £67.
The east window is a gift of Mrs. Adams, and is by
Ward and Hughes. The arehitect was Mr. J. ,
Hicks, of Dorchester; the masonry was done by
Mr. Patten, of Bridport ; the woodwork by Mr, '
Chick, of Bridport ; and the stone carving by Mr.
H. Burge, of London, who have each given general
satisfaction. Tbe length of the church from east to
west is about 69 feet, and 38 feet wide.
