Our junior editor writes that the buildings

Philadelphia.

cling it for the benefit of our readers.
Some of our merchants are employing
wagons to bring freight from Central Station,

arrangement for the transportation of all
freights intended for this point, and will he
consummated in short time.
We are requested to announce that the
congregation of the Baptist Church has
secured Masonic Hall in which to worship
during the time their church building is

and the Sunday School will meet there at

six weeks will be required to make the con-
templated repairs upon the church.
