the past year, and has been returned to us
without a single person to object or find

great deal of good in the community. The

MI. Newman officiating, with a larger
number OF communicates than have been

At the Presbyterian Church. the Rev.

the sacrament was administered. The day

Upon examination, it was discovered that
hogshead containing quantity of straw
that had been placed in the alley that
evening-was on fire. The alarm was given
and two or three gentlemen coming to the
assistance of Mr.. Boulder, the fire was
extingushed. Had it not been discovered

that serious contlagration would have
grown out of it, as the alley is right in the
