The CIRCUS.-Of the excellence
and perfect completeness OF this
grand organization, the press have
been most lavish in their praise
wherever it bas been this season.
The menagerie department IS prob
ably the most choice feature of this
elegant show, excepting only the
circus. So great is the display af-
fOrded for an appreciative public in
Btfuction that no less than twel, g
massive centre poles are required o
@exbibit il properly. The new and
original idea of a double circus GER
Torrance is not only felieitous and
happy, but strikes the beholder az
"a decided innovation upon the old
order Of things. A double ring with
. delal company performing two acts
lin a. many rings at one time is
certainly new era in the sawdust
| business. We look for a big turn
let Of our good people.

The cumbersome and uncOm-ly Gu
pOla Of the Methodist Church has
been removed, and the building
is otherwise undergoing repairs. 1t
is to be hoped that the walls will be
securely locked and braced, and
every precaution taken to prevent
future accident. The ediiice, we are
informed, was never considered safe,
and there is no better time than the
present to institute thorough ex-
animation Of its con ditiOn.

Attention is specially directed to
the communication on ''Parental
Responsibility" which appears in
this mornings issue. The proper
educatiou Of children forms an i'm
portant part of parental duty. and
one that Ii more universally neg
lected than any other obligation
which, - parents, they are required
TO perform. The truths presented
in the communication can not be
gainsnid, and it is to be hoped that
they may awaken that attention to
the sabject as shall call forth the
sympsthies of parents, and urge
hpDe upon their consciences the
necessity of dischargiug the duties
they owe to their offspring with
fidelity and vigilance.

this week, owing to the circus ad-

Mexico. is told by western paper. and
will bear republication: AT Fair Oaks,
we believe, while standing in the very
tempest of death. with his sword uplfted
in command. Gen. o. o. Howard had his
right arm carried away. That night. alter
Howard had suffered amputation, and
was lying spent and raeked with pain in a
box car which was 10 take him TO Wash
ington. Kearney drew near, and, looking
into the car. said: Howard, old boy. I'm
sorry for you. sorry with all my heart ;
but, Howard. have just thought OF some
thing. When you get 10 Washington buy
pair OF gloves; send me the right. and
you keep the left yourself. and | will
divide the cost with you. and hereafter
we will get along more economically
And tuning away, Keainey muttered ::
That is better for him than praying. and
then Howard can beat me praying any
way.'n

GoRHAN, y. II.

In 1919 there was no church in Cor
ham, n. II. At that time the place was
as a wilderness of Judah. There were
only a very few houses. The Grand Trunk
Railway originated the village, which has
come to be of considerable note. In 1859
Rev. George f. Tewksbury commenced
labors in the place as Missionary, and
continued in his self-denying work until
1865. During the early part OF his min
iStry there was enjoyed precious revival
in the Sabbath School. AS the results OF
this gracious visitation Of the Holy Spirit
there was organized a Congregational
church. This was formed March 18th,
1862. In 1865 Brother Tewksbury
deemed it expedieut to move to Oxford,
the home of his youth, and perform mis-
sion work in the neighbOring towns, In
the same year Rev Thomas T. Merry,
commenced labors in Gorham, as acting
pastor, and continued in the field nearly
two years. In 1867 Mr.. Benz. T. John
son, a student in the Seminary preached
few Sabbaths and in 1868 Rev Ferdi-
nand W. Dickinson, was the acting pastor.
In 1869 brother Tewksbufy accepted an
urgent invitation Of the church TO come
back into his old field Of labor, and here
he has remained until the present time,
and a precious revival has been enjoyed
since the organization OF the church which
added much to its strength. There have
been added to it sixteen by profession and
seven by letter. There have been removed
from it six by dismiSsion and FIVE by death.
The amount Of contributions to objects Of
benevoenoe is about three hundred and
forty dollars. A house of worship was
erected in 1862 and dedicated Aug. 18th
the same year. The sermon of dedication
was preached by Rev. Edwin b. Webb
of Boston. The cost Of the building was
about three thousand, three hundred and
fifty dollars. The church was supplied
with bell made Of steel composition
This cost one hundred and seyenty-hve
dollars. 1t served very good purpose
some si1 years. aud then failed ~. Its
place was supplied by bell from the
noted foundry of Troy, New York. This
was procured in 1870 and the expense OF
it was four hundred and Fifty dollars. The
church and society are now entirely free
from debt, and are making praiseworthy
efforts to support the ordinances Of the
gospel. Elihu Libby was chosen deacon
Of the church March 18th, 1862, and Is
still filing the Office. d. &.
