lection, but it has all been remedied by the
promptness and efficiency Of a drnmhead court

Correspondence Of The Cecil Wing.
GTu DISTRICT, June Sth, 1868.


Mr.. EDITOR The people can stand it no
Longer! they are where the Priest left Pat.
He called on Pat for his church dues, but
he would not pay. "Well," said the Priest,
g will leave you for the present in statu-
quo and left. Now, Poor Pat did not
know where that place was, and it troubled
him so he could neither eat nor sleep; so
back he went to the Priest, who told him to
fork over the money and he would take him
ont of the horrible place. think the peo-
pie of the Hopewell Nj. f. Church have
been in statuquo, until they can stand it no
longer. The plaslering is coming off, the
paint is spoiled, the lamps leak, and the
stove.pipes that las worthy Divine once
said have long warmed the heads Of cold
hearted christians, are leaning and about to
fall and if one of the Trustees does not
move his seat his head will certainly be in
the stove pipes way when it falls.
The Trustees have decided to get out
ofthis horrible place, and the ladies Heaven
bless theml are going to aid by holding a
Strawberry Festival.
Just come up, Mr.. Editor, and bring some
of your " H. s" with you. We have
been using the Universal Wringer, and we
will wiring the money out Of you, not by
begging, but by selling you lots OF good
things.
They expect to have lecture At night by
some distinguished Lecturer-for particulars
see advertisement in Wing. hope their
friends will encourage them by liberal pa
tronage.

improving rapidly, but not to be compared
