LIBERAL.-At the conclusion of the ser
vices at the Baptist Church last Sunday. q
report was read by Edward Palmer, the
treasurer of the church, in which def
cheney of 300 was reported against the
treasury. 1t was suggested that the church
commence the new year out of debt, and
that the money be made up. The full
amount was accordingly subscribed on the
spot, one of the members pledging himself
for 5000 and another for 800, and the rest
of the congregation lesser amounts. This
action was very expressive of the liberality
Of the members Of the Baptist Church.

THE RESULT OF THE GAS COVENANT
We hear that as yet but few names have
been attached to the agreement to take gas
at old prices, most of the consumers declaring
their intention to pay no more than the
council prescribes; so as Ben Harper intends
to stand firm, people had better begin to
ge. ready their old fluid and kerosene lamps
which have been moulderng in lum Der
rooms since the ante gaseous times. We
have invested in pound of star dips and in
tend fighting the demon of darkness while
they last.
