of the kind have become so common there as TO

in this city, and presume that our boys have be-
come civilized and regard somewhat the interests
of those who take pains TO cultivate choice fruits
in their gardens.

lately to travel in various directions in the State,
he has noticed the Star Spangled Banner displayed

continued without interruption.

We understand that Sister Haynes pastor of
our Hallowell society, who is now in Massachu-
sets, on her vacation has sent letter of resigna
ton to the trustees of her society take effect in
a few weeks. She will take charge of the Mar
boro (Mass.) society, at the close of her abors in
IIallowell. She does not leave the latter city be-
cause of any di.atlection lack of interest on the
part OF the society. for she is much esteemed both
as preacher and friend in that city, but her de-
votion to the duties of her profession, especially
the labor of preparation for preaching, seriously
affected her health, and a change that will afford
her relief, seems called for.
