The reverend gentleman commenced his sermon
quite abruptly, walking, IA lie talked from tho pull

lance 70 George Francis Train was quite marked IN the
opening OF the discourse. Brilliant, sparkling and
witty, but perfectly independent or all rules his

Mr.. Gallagher insisted that once the name OF per-
