men, women, and children.

stripped even of the scanty convenenoes 1t had TIE
foor is open in several places, and through the open
hgs the water lie ssen dashine like torrent. There
IL no such thing comfortable place 10 sit or stand
in tie whole building. The sale of tickets at such
time, therefore, matter Of surprise to outsiders
and occasions severe comment.

Of Presbyterian Church in Rsvenns. At o'clock

conduct Of the Railroad Company as an outrage OF
the crosses. nature, and declared that the sale CT
tickets, which WAS still going on, when it was well
known il was impossible TO send passengers beyond

than open robbery He painted in glowing colors the
