ANOTHER New CHURCH IN MONTPE-
IIER.-On Friday evening, I'd inst, at
meeting in the vestry of the Brick
Church, it was resolved that due re-
gard for t lie proprieties of public
worship, the convenience ofthe people,
and the credit of the parish and the
town, require the erection of a new
church, at an estimated expense OF
from thirty to forty thousand dollars.
The last figure, in our opinion, is the
lowest we ought to think about, and
therefore the figure we should all work
for in right good earnest. The meet
ING adopted form of subscription and
the resolution d form Of subscription
were adopted unanimously. The de
termination was to have a new and
good church, and to this all opinions
/. as to conditions of subscription were
subordinated This is the true way.
