 -Mr. PaImalee of Ellsworth, formerly of Woodbury, has got the mail routes from this place to West Cornwall and to New Milford. The former has been run, for the last foar years, by Socrates Clark. and the latter by David Kenney, bo:h of whom have won the good will of every one on their routes, by their promptness and efficiency. MT. Clark has. we believe, missed but one mail in his whole term. over the most exposed and impossible roads in the State, through the winter months N! O. Bunnell has the route from New Milford to Washington.

 Now, MT. Editor. please answer my question
 of last week. what part of Congregations church edi6ce is the vestry .'-ErIscoPALr
 We do not see as the above quotations thro,
 any new light on the 'vestry question. W
 have never heard any one deny the statemer
 contain in the former and the latter doe
 not contain the word 'vestry,' nor any hint (
 it's meaning. As Episcopalian' seems to re
 cognize Webster as authority we venture
 repeat our quotation: 'Vestry,-A room az
 pendant te church, in which the sacerdot'
 vestmeats and sacred utensils are kept, an Iwhere parochial meetings are held.' No when Webster says a church he probably meal any church, as it is very doubtful if he belonge to that small class of christians who believe th 3 Episcopal to be the only tsue church.. H also undoubtedly meant, by church, an edi6c and not an ecclesiastical society as a room l like the one he describes. would he g burde fsate haee q HdaPspeaded to them. So we cannot he thinking that it is right to call the room f which the Congregationslists,o any other sec i. hold their society meetings, vestry. If'Epi ! copalian' wants to know exactly where tf vestry of the Congregational church ip Htcl 3 field is, we presume he can get the informatio by applying to the gentlemaDly sexton.
