GLOvER.-The fiftieth anniversary

GLovER.-The fiftieth anniversary
of the organization of the cougrega-
tional church at Glover, was celebra-
ted on last Friday. There was quite
a large attendance, and every congre-
gational minister in the county, ex-
cept one, was present. Rev. S. K. B.
Perkins delivered historical sermon
in the forenoon, in which he gave some
interesting facts in relation to the
church and the town. At the time
the church was organized it consisted
OF seventeen members; it now num-
bers sixty three. We hear the ad-
dress of Mr.. Perkins spoken Of in the
highest terms. We shall publish it in
our next. In the afternoon Rev. P.
II. White gave an address on Congre-
gationafism, showing its excellent sys-
tenn Of church government and polity
its tendency to a close individualism
and giving its members marked char
acteristicS in contradistinction to the
great majority of christian believers
outside the pale Of that church. The
remainder OF the afternoon was devo-
ted to the sabbath school of that So
ciety. The singing was good and ev-
erything passed off pleasantly and in
order.
RoBBERY.-On Friday night last
Mr.. A. W. Varney, Erastus Collision
and Frank French of this village, had
their pockets rihed Of their contents
while they were asleep. Varney lost
SIG, Collision lost watch worth $35
and some SIS, and French lost SIC
Varney lost SIC four weeks previous
in the same way. The thefts have
been perpetrated just after each pay
day, SO they must be by some one who
understands the financial condition of
the boys to a nicely.

Heath, son Of Jesse Heath, was founC
dead in a brook near East Browning
ton, on Tuesday last. He was sub
