 New Altar.-The Rev. Mir. Bodley of the Episcopal church in this village, recogniz- ing the need of regularly constructed al- tar in place of the communion table which has been used for that purpose, sharpened his chisels, filed his saws-for he tells us he has good set of carpenters tools-and set about the work, determined to make useful the mechanical skill and ingenuity which seems pent up in him, and the result is an elegant piece of work, and one too that our best workmen would not be ashamed to &C., knowledge as theirs. We congratulate Mir. Bodley, that he is not only able to shape the minds of his parishioners into forms heav- enly and divine, but is also able to take the material things of the world, and with the tools of the craftsman, shape them into forms beautiful to behold. as well as useful in the worship of The Master.

The trains run mo
 frequently and more rapidly than ever b

The effort which a' been made for some time past to make [ Ae road one of the connecting links to the gre As chain of roads forming the through route 'e the West, has been very successful; the ra , id and safe running of the trains, and th'
