.,.uoon which. with a little alteration, will

or,l wears They have secured the prop
ertv bv paying the amount required for
that purpose, and now the whites (Presby-
.u;.nsl have taken the matter in hand, and
,,iIl further assist them in negotiating for
the balance. The Rev. E. ?. Rogers and
congregation, Of Newark, have takena deep
interest in their behalf; it being a sister
church, and in its infancy will require
much care and attention. On several oc-
casions, Mr. Rogers and goodly number
of his congregation have attended festivals
given for the benefit of the society, and
have expended literally.
In my last, a report of a grand prone
made concert and scientific lecture for the
benefit of z. NJ f. Church, (Rev. Mr..
Trusty,) was crowded out On the even
ing of the 1st, DIR. H. j. Brown and la
DIV. Il believe they hail from Philadelphia
gave a grand entertainment, combining Vo-
cal and instrumental music, lecture on
Phrenology and Physiology, illustrated
with life-like paintings and experiments
with the electromagnetic machine, and to
conclude with the examination Of the
heads of any persons present, when he
would tell them, with accuracy, their char
acters, qualities, capabilities, deficiencies,
vices, and virtues, by the various develop
ments of the brain. He examined the
heads of several of the young ladies and
gentlemen who were present; he told them
generally that amativeness" was highly
developed; this accounted for their ex-
treme fondness for the other sex, their kind
attention, and obliging manners. Also OF
"alimentiveness," this faculty which created
relish for food drink, &C., was very
nrominent in those whom he examined;
both ladies and gentlemen were full and
large, and highly developed; hence arises
the preference of attending festivals and
feasts to that of lectures and debates He
ran through the list of faculties, without
combination of the classes. He had charts
for sale, and was prepared to examine
heads privately.
A pugilistic encounter between two
brother divines, took place in the Z. M. E.
Church, on the 9Th inst, in which sister
accidentally received severe confusion,
and brother, trustee Of the church, who
ran between them, received an uncomfort-
able rap on the head by an umbrella in
the hands of the Rev Mr.. Davis.
In my last | informed you that the
aforementioned church intended to clean
and paint the interior Of their ediice;
they are now at work at it; several of the
brothers and sisters have joined together,
and are doing the job themselves, to save
expenses; even the pastor (Mr. Trusty)
has not been backward in helping. Whilst
many of those who were engaged were
quietly at work on Saturday, they had
their peace disturbed by the Rev Mr.. Da-
Wis, who is now stopping at Newark, and
Rev. Mr.. Butler, who is located at Hudson,
N. Y. 1t appears that they have not had
the best of feelings towards each other for
long time; happening to meet here,
words were passed which reflected on each
others reputation; the lie was given, and
then came the blow. The pastor, who
was not present at the time, has taken
steps to have the combatants ecclesiastical
ly punished More anon.
