Among the noticeable objects in this
place, may be named the tall spire of the
new Methodist church. 1t stands one hum
| dred feet high from the bottom OF the stills
| of the edifice 1t was constructed in two
sections; the first or bottom section, being
forty feet high; other the section, or forty feet
of it, was constructed inside the first, and
of course twenty feet of the top was finish
ed above the forty feet or bottom section.
Tuesday last the sixty foot part OF the spire
was raised by means of tackles to its apprO-
pirate position. 1t took considerable out
lay of muscle to raise 90 ponderOus body,
but sturdy hands were on hand, and by
dint of pluck and perseverance, under the
efficient direction of George Prior, who
we understand leased this part of the enter
prise, the undertaking was successfully &C
kcomplished. The spire has the points OF
compass and beautiful weather vnae upor
it, together with other appropriate orna
mentations, and altogether is by far thu
most imposing structure of the kind eve
erected in this place. When fully com
pleted 1t cannot be otherwise than "a thinl
of beauty" nor can there be the least ques
ton but that in the hearts OF those most In
terested it will also be in more than poetic
sense ga Joy forevLr."
1t is understood that our Catholic friend
have indefinitely postponed the building o
church. Not succeeding in PURCHASING
the Congregational church, as was expects
, they would for months, and the very effi
: cient priest, who co-operated with then
having removed from the state, state 81
feeling has developed itself that seriously
threatens the project of their having |
church at this place, for considerable
length of time to say the least. Division
are very bad in any enterprises, and pre-
emintly 30 in religious matters.
A day or two since little son of William
I Hoskison, of Healdville, was attempting Il
catch horse, which was running in 10
with other horses when one of the animal
suddenly whirled and kicked, hitting tn
boy plump in the forehead, leaving an ugl
cash in the flesh. but fortunately not frac
: turing the skull. 1t is almost miraculou
: that the consequences were not more SER
. GUS than they were.
