Rev. R. S. Stubs, of this city,
spent last Sabbath in Astoria. He
preached morning and evening in the
Congregational Church of that city.
There is quite prospect of establish
ing a Methodist Episcopal Church
there. The Society has an excellent
church lot and some 5000 in the treas
ury.
Great activity prevails in Astoria,
preparing for the fishing season which
commences in about four weeks. One
firm Kinney Brothers,) have forty
new boats already completed, and fif
teen more in progress, built by Mr..
Simon Frazier & Brother, of Maine.
Such are their excellencies of con-
struction, that Mr.. Frazier has stand
ing orders to build for other firms on
the Columbia, SO soon as he completes
his contract with the. Kinney Brothers.
1t seems almost incredible that in the
short space of GO working days these
forty staunch boats have been built
The great energy of these young gen
tlemen and their high sense of integ
irty, have secured for them large con-
fdence, and the commentator Of
those for whom they are engaged.
Astoria is going ahead, and bids fair
to be very hourishing city.
During the absence of Mr.. Stubs,
the forenoon services at the NJ. f..
Church in this city were conducted
by Mrs. NJ. E. Stubs, whose sermon
is spoken of very highly for its sweet
ness of spirit and the remarkable I'M
folding of the deep import, of the
words of the Lord, contained in the
Gospel of st. Luke 10 chapter, 3S-42
verses.
On Last Monday evening Lieut.. H.
II. Pierce delivered lecture in Tay-
lor Street M. f. Church; the proceeds
were for the Ladies Mite Society of
the M. E. Church of this city. The
audience was highly delighted, and
although rainy evening, the Society
realized $3.50.
Thanks are due to the Portland NJ
E. Church, for the free use of their
audience room, and to Lieut.. Pierce
for his seasonable and acceptable SER
vice.
