ChristiaHd pilidge.--MR. EDITOR Tin taking |
q view of tho notices in your useful paper OF
the improvements going on In other sections Of
our county, | cannot rest without giving you |
information of some acquisitions making to our |
little village.
There are at present two churches going up |
for public worship. One NJ. e. Church, the |
other Presbyterian. For long time the pur- |
chase Of site, and erection thereon of church |
of the former denomination had been in the |
hands Of committee for that purpose, who |
could not accomplish ANYTHING on account of
heiencies in titles to any location they might |
determine on.
In this manner did procrastination continue |
until the Rev. Mr.. Hand was placed as pastor
over the congregation. He Immediately went
to work in the right way and by his indetatiga- |
BILE energy, procured situation, aud urged on |
the work, so that the building is now ready for |
roofing. So much to his credit, and 1t will BIO |
lasting regard for him. |
The Presbyterian church Is located on the
old site. 1t has progressed rapidly, and when
flushed, which will be shortly, will vic with
anything Of the kind, for comfort and neatness
III tue state OF elsewhere. |
Mr.. Jno. Allen, and Mr.. W. F. Southgate
have been nnremitting in their devotion to its
prosperity. lomuch credit cannot be bestowed
on them for the interest and exertions they
have made TO further Its accomplishment.
Both these edihces will stand, until time with
US shall be no more lasting monuments of praise
TO the architects and builders Of the slme.

Troiiing Match.-On Wednesday afternoon
last, says the Reporter, trotting match came
off in lane near Dover, between pair Of
horses owned by Daniel Cummings, Esq, of
Smyrna, and pair consisting of S'Honest
John" owned by G. w. s. Nicholson of Dover,
and !'Dan." owned by r. G. Walker, Esq, OF
Dover, ssHonest john and SEDAN" were never
in harness together before. The Dover pair
came to the outer scrawl twenty yards ahead
and, upon a challenge to continue the race up
the road, afterwards passed the Smyrna pair.
There was no betting between the parties, and
side bets were positively discountensnced and
forbidden. aPoint Breeze" is not, Il seems1 NJ
good training ground as the too much abused
tssands OF Sussex
