Hon. p. X. Gleed then made a financial
report Of the society, which showed the
repairs had cost about $4,000, all but
$500 Of which had been provided for by
the sums contributed By the persons whose
names he read. He said he did not like
to dedicate house TO the worship Of God
on which there was a mortgage. and he
proposed that before the exercises should
proceed, the whole sun be raised; so,
suiiibg his word to action. he named 800
as the amount he would contribute. lie
was followed by responses from all parts
Of the house, each naming SUMS varying
from three to sixty dollars, aud one res.
poEse over the electric wires from Wash.
ingIon, naming fifty dollars. THIS MAS
kept up tIll only about $50 remained, which
sum can he moro than realized from few
remaining pews owned by the society, aud
practically places the odifce free from
debt. lie also read letter from Mrs. +
b Clark of Brattleboro, which accompan.
led the Estry organ she presented to the
society.
The sermon ny Prof. Buckham Of Bur.
llngtou, was u very able one, and fully
relished and appreciated by his large au
dlonce.
After the choir sang dedicatory an
them, Rev. V. NJ. Hardy, the able pastor
made an appropriate prayer, then the Dox
ology was sung by the congregation, an(
a benedietion pronounced by Rev. II. Her
rick Of Wolcott.
The church is very lastly and substan
y repaired, and the society may we'll con
graduate itself in having SO beautiful
church, free from debt
We are sorry to learn that D. a
| Gilbert, the person longest engaged in tn
mercantile trade in Morrisville, and
achae man IN every SENSE of the word, La
been obliged to suspend, for the present a
least Should his present embarrassment
eliminate in hi4 retirement from business
his creditors will have the satisfaction Q
feeling that his was not an lnteHti0aa
failure, aud that he has struggled MANU-.
ly to tide over the panic and meet all hi
obligations in full. and in his retirement
100, the people will lose a trader who ha
catered well to their tastes in the good
he has purchased, and an indulgent credl
tor in times when they had not the ready
TO pay for their purchases. We have n
doubt that his ere litors feel kindly dis
posed toward him, aud that his debtors
tkey are the cause of bis embarrassment
will come forward at once and relieve him
Since writing the above we learn tina
the ratio of Mr.. Gilbert's assets to his Ii
: abilities are quite large--SO or 80 cent
: on the dollar.-so we are Of the opinio
that if course like the above is adopted
he can 90 on with his business and max
all whole.
