the urpose Of raising funds to purchase an
Organ, for St. Stephens Protestant Episcopal
Church Of that place. This congregation
have contracted with Mr. Jenkin T. Hugo

ediicr. The design is strictly gothic, in i'm
talion of the Lima church in this State
When completed, the building will be an or
nament to New Harmony, although the tow
or of. the church will not be built just at thi:
time. The congregation are determined to
follow the advice Of the Bishop, not to con
tract debt for the church. But as their
funds are all engaged in building this church
concert is to be given on the 2S,h to obtain
means for purchasing an organ, &c. We
wish the ladies' of New Harmony great sue.

prevail on some of our folks to attend the
Concert, of which, however, we shall have
