THE FIRST BAPTIST SOCIETY which suffered
SO severely in the conflagration which recently
visited our city, have determined to make the
effort to build another house of worship. But
so many of their families are deprived of mate
rial resources that it is impossible for the Socie
ty to build without assistance from others. Sew
eral persons in the city, who are not connected
with the Society, knowing our present inabili-
ty have given encouragement that they would
render some aid if we concluded to rebuild.
We wish now TO say to all those, and to other
benevole mt friends, that having thus determin-
ed to go forward and do what we can among
ourselves, we shall be glad to receive from them
any subscriptions they are disposed to make to
help us in our effort. Subscriptions may be
sent to or handed to any one of the Committee
