GEORGETOWN, Jan. Is, 1855.
The mission sry meetings at the Methodist
church yesterday, morning and evening, were
highly interesting in their character The
congregation upon both occasions was very
large and were addressed by Rev. John Ian.
ahan in his usual eloquent and impressive
style. The contributions to the missionary
cause were very liberal amounting to tho
handsome sum of $520-a larger amount, we
believe, than has ever been contrib uted by the
same church heretofore on any similar occa.

members; and one hundred doIIars, in i've
dollar subscri ptions, was given to educate an
Indian boy, to be named William H. Edes.
This proposition came from a small boy, a
scholar in the Sabbath school over which Mr.
Edes presides as superintendent, and one
half OF the amount was taken by ten of the
children (6ve male and five female) on behalf
of the school.
The good people of Alexandra will have
the pleasure, on next Thursday night, of hear

tiers OF cur city, tine Rev B. F. Brooke, before
the Young Mems Christian Association. His

young men. From the gentleman's known
ability as public speaker, We have no doubt
but the subject will be handled in a very in
teresting manner.
We would advise all who wish 20 have a
