summer. He intends to build upon
the old site; three stories high, 95
feet long, As wide, with two wings.
DoNATIoN.-There will be a dona-
ton visit at the house of A. W. Sea-
vey, in Bloomington, on Wednesday
next, for the benefit of Rev. FL. Stiles.
We hope his friends will turn out in
force and pay literally, remembering
that if the gospel is worth anything
it is worth paying for.
IRAsBURGH.-They had a pleasant
time at the donation and Sunday school
festival, at Irasburgh on New Years
evening. The singing and speaking
was mostly done by the children, who
had supper prepared especially for
them. The interest Of the occasion
was increased by the presentation of
a picture of the Lords Prayer to the
Sunday School, with appropriate re
marks by z. E. Jameson. An album
containing several pictures was pre-
sented to R. S. Howard, the superin-
tendent Of the Sunday School, by Rev.
A. Ball. A set of crockery, knives
and forks, were presented to Mrs.
Ball by o. A. Farley. All these arti-
cles were purchased by subscription
and were unexpected by the recipi-
ents. After few remarks by Judge
| Nye all partook of an excellent sup
per. The amount of the donation was
SS5, after all expenses were paid.
