BETHANY CHURCH DEDICATIoN.-We learn
that the dedicatory services Of the new Beth
any Church have been postponed for a time,
and they will not take place on the lst inst
as heretofore expected The reason for the
postponement is simply on account of the
imposslbiity of having the new organ in
readiness at the time contemplated. Due
notice will be given when the day shall be
definitely fixed upon
FRosr-The first heavy frost of the season
in this section occurred 0 n Wednesday night

The ElUISocrIAL STORM came, as per APP
pointment, on the Goth, Sunday last, and we
had long steady rain of twenty-four hours
or more. and at the conclusion, the weather
was lcCllculF ttDI Inc ram WIS II IL OH
hard to take as our water suppl es have mt

the cold weather, Jack Frost did about all tho
mischief possible three nights before, and SO
no one feels disposed to grnmble about the
equinoctial storm.

Preacher in charge Of the NJ. f. Church in
Montpelier. His appointment is one emin

on the hill. 1t is expected that he will preach
one sermon each Sabbath at the Seminary
Chapel.
