the sa,nis,ry was actually degraded by such

limitation of parochial limits led to selhshness
on the part OF the ministry and congregation.
For an opposite spui, and iis result, look at
the Mnravians, who, not exceeding 20, 1000 in

200 missionaries, at an expense OF 5000.

when great revenues and donations were
given BY Constantine to the Church, VOICE.

now, or at any future time, the liberty of
preaching should be restricted or revoked by

WATER SUPPLT.-Our village authorities are
doing good work in completing the cisterns
begun by the preceding administration. Three
of these have been excavated to the depth OF
twelve feet each, with about the same dame
ter, andwell secured by brick masonry. One OF
these is near Hitchcock's shop and is supplied
with a ready abundance of water, the second,
near Mrs. Pattersons on Division street, also
has reliable supply, and the third, near the
Tannery on Vine street, though notso weilsup-
piled in the dry season, during which it was
dug, will no doubt be fully supplied in all ordi-
nary times, and afford a very needful protection
to that important manufacturing localiiy--the
Hollow. Since the work was begun in earnest
by the Village Fathers about the corporation in
cistern and road building, large amount has
been accomplished, which has the merit not
only of energy in good work but diserimina-
