There is soon to be a paper entitled rs
above, issued from this office, and pub
lished in the interests of the NJ. E. Church
in this portion Of our work.
Since the unwisc removal of the
Charlie ston Adrocate. our work has been
enlarging and extending in this section,
and demands multiplying for local or
! gan. The Charleston Adrocate was for
two years published in Charleston. 1t
was during this cventful period in tile
history of our cause in the South, one of
the most important auXiliarics of our
work. Its removal left vacant place
here which has not since been filled 1t
is an old saying, "that blessings brighten
rs they take their ilight." This was EN-
phatically true in reference to our diaper
for this coast. Many were taken by sur
prise ut its sudden removal and were
| anxious for its return. If we had been
us fully advertised of the wants and
wishes of the people in this section, be-
fore the transfer Of that paper to Atlanta,
Ga, as we were after 1t was done, it
would never h"1e gone from us. The
Methodist Adrocate is a good paper and
ably conducted. but it is too distant from
the Atlantic coast to meet our local wants
in this section. Our work OH this coast
differs in some particulars from our work
in the section of Atlanta, or the valley Of
the Mississippi. Its peculiar phases can
not be met by those who live at Il dis
tancc from us, ami are not convt rsant
with the cNigencies and demands of this
section. The people will have greater |
interest for
Their Own Paper,
that lives and sympatllizcs with them than
can be awakedcd for one coming to them
from distance. and managed by com
par atve strangers.

Fire nI EIktOn,

SHOPS AND DWELLING HOUSE BURNED YESTERDAY.
Yesterday morning, fire broke out Ill the
second story OF the carriage shops of Witworth
Brothers, at Elkton, which ultimately consumed
that building, dwelling house, adjoining, occu-
pied by George Witworth, and blacksmith
shop belonging to Howard Titus. The fire il
believed to have originated in the trimming
room but in what is not known. Witworth
Bros. lose everything but fourteen finished car
rlages, which were in the lover story
and were got out. All the un-
finished carriages in the second story, value
BILE trimmings. paints, oils, yarnishes, &C., were
consumed. One of the hands, James Cameron,
had a trunk in the third story of the shop con-
tanning his clothes, two watches, one of them
gold, and $500 in money, which was burned.
The loss of the Witworths is on their tools
and furniture, and they are insured for
s2500. in Cecil and York county companies
The building belonged to the heirs of the late
DR.. John Gilpin, and was insured for $4,000.
