the Transcript, to correct a statement that the
initial G in Gorges should he pronounced hard
as in go. She says: "It should have on the
contrary the soft sound as in gem; that is, if
Ferdinando aud his descendants pronounced
their name properly. Ny grandmother, Hannah
Gorges, was the daughter of Timothy Gorges,
own brother to Ferdinando, consequently his
own niece; we have always pronounced our
name as if spelled Georges, from Timothy to

A regular called meeting of the propretors
of the Third Parish in this city, was held at
the Central Church vestry last evening. Eli

and the meeting was opened with prayer by
Deacon Joseph Libbey .t.t.. t,.q- .r
The first business in order was tC act upon
the proposition made to the parish by the Cen

pay over to the Central Society the sum of
$4,000, upon the receipt of which the meeting

line grounds for uniting were stated to be
that the Third Parish was no nearer towards
building church than they were year ago
That in themselves they could not erectla
meeting house and support the expenses re-
quisite upon parish That nearly if not quite
majority of the pew holders and those who
h're pews reside where it would be more con-
Senient for them to attend at the Central

oher OF the Central Society was a most liberal
one, placing the Third Parish in possess;on of
church, and forming a strong soo;a+u a. =
very little cost.
Those who opposed accepting the pronos

by the Central Society. But they felt unwill

OF rebuilding on the old spot i.sll asl. a.

on Tuesday that he did not expect the sncee S.

placed by Sheridan, and declared that his rea'
