Two other advertisements (540 and 729) offer the use

to be raised to that sum, but should remain at its eaus
average of £BO. Probably the incumbents who insert

the notices above were of opinion that ngs
managed better, and that the ontoperfecti an establiaa
meat would be attained when a curate, like a midshiPa°
on half-pay, could do duty on nothing and find himself;_,
We are apt to murmur a little at this kind of rectoill,
justice when we see the brigade appraising its honestY!':

interestedness themselves.
