ing Cumberland Mills station woman was
seen walking on the track some distance

embankment, distance of twenty-five feet.
The train was stopped as soon as possible and

The Abyssinian Church.

Mr.. EDITOR Allow me to correct the state-
ment made by observer" in yesterday S
PRESS, in regard to the financial condition of
the 4th Congregational (Abyssinian) church.
From what source Observer gained such infor-
nation of the financial affairs, ! cannot say.
In my annual report at the church and society
meeting, Friday evening, Feb. 11th, the report
read Receipts for the year were $239.74; ex-
penditures $2l2.33. leaving balance of S27 Al.
Again, Observer is wrong in stating that the
pastor has been paid $177.00. The amount re-
ceived by the pastor from March 29, 1880 to
Feb. 10, 1881, was $4,000, and, no doubt, if OBJ
server had been at the annual meeting and
heard the reading of the clerk and treasurer's
report, the statement would have been differ
