AID WANTED TO REBUILD A CHURCH.-An
appeal is now being earnestly made to the pub
lie for aid towards the completion of the parish
church at Fairfax Court House, va. During
the late war this church, together with that at
Centreville, was entirely destroyed, while the
financial ability of the congregation was hope
lessly impaired. With many sef-sacrifcing
efforts, and out of the deep poverty which no
enc unfamiliar with this desolated region can
even remotely conceive, the afflicted people are
striving to re-erect this house of God. 1t is
neither finished nor furnished, and it can only
become SO by the gifts of outside friends. 1t is
desired to complete it by the coming Easter.
Mr.. James B. Weaver, No 719 Spruce street, is
authorized to receive contributions, and his
efforts, besides being prompted by the Rev. W.
