Last Tuesday evening Rev. J. j
Faude held service in the M. E. church
at this place. The audience was
large and attentive, and the discourse
brilliant and interesting. Several
Plymouthites accompanied Rev. F..
and they rendered good music, but
we must be allowed to bestow a little
special praise upon the organist, Mrs
Alice VanValkenbugh. Hope she
will take it kindly. Rev. F. will hold
service again at this place on Tues
day, August 1st.
Our better half is away on a Wis
iting tour, and we don't know just
exactly how to run things about the
house. We have a good boarding
place, but the dog, cats, rats, and
mice, etc., are in a starving condi-
ton, and We never could think to
lay in provisions for them. We new
er could "pick up things" therefore
We request that no one visit our
house during Mrs. Macs absence.
And we never thought Of watering
the plants till this very minute. Well,
she has been away before, and we
know the lecture prepared from the
foundatiou"-we have given. We
shall endure it with meekness and
patieece. Sympathy is in order now.
We feel it a duty to state that no
new minister ever gained favor more
rapidly than Rev. S. B. Town, of this
ON. e. circuit. He is a scholar, land
a regular M. D., which people who
profess TO know say is great aid to
the administrator of remedies to
those suffering from spiritual mala-
dies a worker and a genial social and
refined gentleman. Then "the part.
ner OF his joys and sorrows" is an in
telligent, interesting lady, which adds
much to the usefulness OF a minis
ter. We don't wish to impose upon
him-to add pennyweight TO his al
ready heavy burdens-but we do
hope the General Conference will re-
turn him to his charge. The man
who can preach so good sermon,
secure the favor and esteem OF all
respectable people, and be so sue
cessful in "minding his own business
is the man needed in this place.
Since we learned OF the glory and
grandeur OF the entertainment at
Hon. H. G.. Thayers we have been
mad all over because OF our absence.
A gentle tap from the posterior ped

US to send up our regrets; but, il we
