strength. On Monday morning last, the polite
assistant, Mr.. Tarraut, On wink being
given by DR.. FAINT, put full charge into a
glass for the editor, which had the effect of
lifting the editorial hat and causing it to fall
to the ground. We are happy to add, how
er'-, that the effect was altogether Of pleas

was charged, the editor was not.
VERY Much NEEDED.-Our worthy town
fathers have, with commendable considera-
ton, determined to give US light, by the
erection of number of street lamps-and the
people generally, and particularly those who
have to 80 ont of nights, will give them
hearty thanks, for devious and broken are
the ways under foot. especially over the
granite sidewalk, whose inequalities and
projecting angularities remain rs rough as on
the day the work was completed. Light is
good thing. Let there be light, then. There
is another thing needed now, and this is
water cart or sprinkler, and not only one but
two or three of them. They you'd truly be
blessing, preventive of sore eyes, and
protection to the goods Of our merchants;
and not one Of our business men but would
readily contribute FIVE or even ten dollars
toward the expense of rigging up something
of the Kind, and for sprinkling the streets
during the warm, dry and dusty season.
Just now the dus: is intolerable, it whirls in
eddying gusts, gets into peoples mouths
and eyes, settles on goods in the stores, seeps
through cracks and creviceS, windows and
doors, goes down peoples neckS, ruins paper
collars, and is Nuisance generally. What
say you, town fathers, shall the dust be laid?
CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
RIGHT DIaEcrIoS.-On Sabbath last, at the
regular monthly Conference Of the members
of the Methodist Church, after practical
and eloquent sermon from the pastor, Rev.
Manning Brown, preparatory to the occasion,
it was resolved, without dissenting vote, to
build, if possible, new and acceptable
church edifce with q basement for the
Sabbath School. We believe with proper
effort, sufficient amount, to erect such
building as is necessary, can be readily and
promptly subscribed, with the aid of citizens
who are not identified as members, but who
are deeply interested in the prosperity of the
church, and that steps should at once be
taken 10 carry the good idea out. At the
same time it was determined to delay no
longer in painting the parsonage house, and
| q subscription was at once taken up for that
| purpose.
| We learr with pleasure also, that the Bap-
| tist denomination determined some weeks
since, to repaint, carpet and otherwise put
their church in better condition, and that an
amount more than Sufic lent has been sub
scribed for that purpose. It is designed also,
to level the ground connected with the
church. lay it off with appropriate walks and
| carriage drives, and plant the remainder as
lawns, with shrubbery borders.
The Lutheran membership are beside COM
| menciug the erection of handsome and con-
yenient parsonage house for their minister.
| This will be built on the church lot, and
will be a pleasant addition to that portion of
the town, and an appropriate tribute of
esteem to the pastor.
The Associate Reformed Church has al
| ready been repainted and put In order.
The remaining churches-PreSbyterian and
Episcopal-are in good condition, aud hap
PLY do not need any special improvement
that we are aware Of.
We like TO chronicle these events, as they
show that tue good work is going on, and
tina, our people are not altogether engrossed
| in worldly matters, but are willing TO devote
no. only portion of their time, but their
means, to their houses of worship.
