Our Wing friends at Cecilton have bui them
selves very neat and commodious Club House
AMI at work with zeal and activity. Their
next DE citing will be held in the club house or
Cabin on Saturday, the 18th day o. April next.
We have been requested to urge general atten-
dance, and that there will be, we have no doubt,
from the spirit manifested throughout the dis
trct
We understand that the Ladies of the district are
also busily at work, to advance the interest of
tho gallant "Harry Of the West" and here we
have satisfactory explanation ofwhatllad almost
puzzled u.s. We could not think what had caused
the Wing fire to burn up brilliantly there Of
late, but we find "the ladies are at work. and
the mystery is solved. We learn they are getting
up beautiful banner to present to the Club,
which will spur the members on to greater actvi-
ty and induce us to look 10 the old first, for her
odashioned majority. i.
lfthere be any thing more gratifying than
another TO the advocates and supporters of any
cause, it is The smiles and approval of the ladies'
Incapable of countenancng error, their appro-
baton al once Argues that the cause is Just and
good, and dispenses fire and perseverance
arc und, which tends in an eminent degree to
ensure sEe cess.

II 1 He H..

The dwelling Of Frsby Hcnde rson Esu., a
Tcw hundred yards from our town, took fire OH
last wednesday, afternoon. A great number of
our citizens hurried to the spot with the fire en-
CINE and succeeded in getting the fire put out,
after it burned the roof Ct the Kitchen and an
adjoining room, and the upper floor, to consd-
cradle extent The loss is fully covered by in
surance.
A number Of persons were slightly injured by
the falling Ola high porch rsef upon which they
were at work. The furniture was all carried
out of the main building and owing to the hurry
and confusion, good deal Of it was broken and
otherwise injured Mr.. Henderson and his lady
were absent when the fire commenced, but re-
turncd while it .yas raging.
AT one time every person supposed that the
destruction of the main building was inevitable,
and Eothing saved it but the untiring persever-
anco e1-sur citizens, and the efficient manner in
which the eng inc was worked. In fact had it
not been for the engine, the large house and all
the surrounding buildings must have been des-
troyed, which would have caused loss of sew
'eral thousands Of dollars TO the Insurance CON-
party We think some steps ought TO be taken
to provide G more efficient fire apparatus, and
we have no doubt but Tie 1psura nee Company
that has been 50 much benefited, welld lond a
hand in procuring tit might be the means o.
saving them from loss Ut some future time.

assigned, but there is report which comes
from an authoritative source, that the Mes
torians often begged to have their scrip
lures printed for them, but instead, the
missionaries are continually making aud
printing hooks ofihcir own, and are always
preaching TO them about leaving off their
fasts, &c. Mar Shimon. (ihe Patriarch

country. This which follows is the ex-
tract from this letter: r..
We would further make You acquain-
ted with what has jus; happened in Oroo-
miah, amcng those Americans who are re.
siding there. Quite quarrel has taken
place between the Bishops and people on
one side, and the Americans on the other,
on account of the improper proceedings Of
the latter in the said Town. This led to a
council OF lhs;zealous and true shepherds
with their rational sheep, and they closed
up and disbanded the schools which
the Americans had established in Oroo-
miah. We moreover, have written to
them letterGnderour seal, that the schools
should remain closed, and that,h Ameri-
