WEST TorsHAM,--The Corinth Free-will Baptist
quarterly meeting held its last quarterly session
at this place, commencing on Friday, and closing
its session ON Sunday. In consequence of the
drenching rain, on Friday but very few were in
attendance. ON saturday, few more ventured
out and on Sunday the church was filled to re-
ple,ion. The hearts Of the people were made glad
by the appearance of our pastor Rev A. c.
Peaslee, once more in church, he having regained
his health sufficiently to be able to be carried to
the church in an oasy-chair, and remain through
one service. Now, il those whose duty 1t is to
look after his temporal wants will manifest as
much zeal in their duties as he does for the pir-
itual welfare of this people 1t will please some
who do not profess to lie any better than their
neighbours, and alleviate his present condition.
The much-needed rain came on Friday last,
and the earth has not been so thoroughly satu-
rated as it was ON Saturday morning All nature
smiles and looks refreshed The hay crop must
be good beyond a pendyenture. The frosts OF
last week did no damage in this vicinity.

substantial benefit 10 this institution. 1t Is some
time since our people have had the pleasure Of
hearing Mrs. shyton, and her readings last even

oughly employed this period in more thorough
cultivation OF the wonderful natural gift which
she has in this direction. Especially would VIC
commend her rendering Of Elihn Burritts " One
Niche the Highest" Cartoons "New Church
Organ" and " Mrs Maloney on the Chinese
Question" We regret that the crowded state Of
our columns prevents a more extended notice Of
her excellent readings. The Montpelier Band

no little to the interest Of the occasion.
