Several of the churches on the eastern side
of the city have been imposed upon, within the
past few months, by pretender named Fonda
who insnuates himself into the confidence of
good people for the worst of motives. He was
arrested few days ago and taken to the Essex
Market Police Court for an uncomfortable
offense, and but for the intercession of an infu-
entail individual he would have been consigned
to the Penitentiary. Churches and Sunday
schools will do well to keep him at distance

AT the conclusion of the regular afternoon
exercises in the chapel of the Little Wanderers
Home last Sunday, Mr. A. :. Hatch, President
of the Howard Mission, delivered an eloquent
address of welcome to the Rev. VIM. c. Van
Meter, recently reapponted to the superinten-
dency of the Home. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Hatch referred to the foolish report
that the Mission had been handed over to the
Pedo-Baptists. He took pleasure in assuring the
friends of the Mission that 1t was in the hands of
no sect, but that it was on the contrary, as it
always has been, independent of all, and under
the direction of men who had in view simply
the doing of good according to the precepts of
the Saviour. The exercises were varied with
songs well sung by the 200 children, and closed
with prayer.-N y. Tribune.
