a success for the extension of the road.
The people ssare- very much opposedstos any

BILE excitement prevailed. High words. and
even blows were freely INDUCED in. One

WOODSTOCK. Your correspondent
being in Woodstock last Sabbath, had the
pleasure of attending services held by
Rev. A. B. Dascomb, the present pastor of
the Congregational church in that place
The church is in fine condition and has a
new, large sized organ. The text was
from Isaiah vi, 5, "Then said 1 woe is
me, for am undone, because I am a man
of unclean lips, and dwell in the midst
of people of unclean lips, for mine eyes
have seen the King the Lord of Hosts"
From this text an extern peraneous dis
course was delivered, and it is no fattery
when we say that it was sermon of the
higest order and one which could 1st be
heard without great profit and lasting
impression left upon ones memory. The
character of Isaiah was set forth, and when
he uttered the words of the text wac at
time when the Glory Of God was de-
parting from Israel over 5000 years ago
and about the time of the founding of
Rome. To qualify him for his mission
God reveals himself to him in a vision.
Isaiah sees the Great Jehovah in vision
in the temple and around were gathered
Seraphim and CHI erubim, crying Holy

upon the true eharaci er of preaching was
dwelt upon by the sp ,aker, which, to our
mind, showed that the speaker understood
the true and useful W az and manner Of
preaching. At the clio sing of services it
was announced that ieetings would be
held in several places in the town, and the
Hon. julius Converse was announced a.
