tensive repairs on the house recently purchased
by DIR. Reed, also repairs on Mrs. Smiths house,
two families moved off the street, and six or seven

great time for building and rebuilding, Anew
house Is being built by Ambrose Averil back OF
the Methodist church, another is going up on
Merchant street, west Of L. NJ. Averill's house.
Extensive repairs and additions are to be made
on the old town hall. There is some talk OF re-
modelling the Congregational house OF worship
a very commendable undertaking. Repairs are
to be made soon on the parsonage, which has
been vacated by Rev. L. Tenney-he having
moved into the J. A. Phillips house on Merchant
street, during the past week. A new stone shed
is being put up across the railroad track, near
Wetmore & Morse's she'd by White Bros Of Rut-
land. There are still other buildings in process
Of construction which we do not at present recall.
But some Of the most needed buildings fail to
make their appearance. We have now no hotel

METHODIST CHURCH TROUBLES. The near ap-
proach of the time for the meeting OF the Metho-
dist conference.-the Troy and the Vermont
excites curiosity as to the probable action OF the
churches Of the Burlington district. The state
ment OF Rev. j. j. Noe, presiding elder OF the dis
trict, ought to put the matter at rest. He says;
" A large msjority of the churches and ministers
are willing to comply with any order Of the gen.
eral conference The ministers will not be repre-
scented at the Troy conference except as visitors.
Most II not all, Of them will send their reports TO
Vermont conference A majority of the churches
were not represented at the recent meeting OF the
clergy Of the district. The ministers and men,
bership OF the Burlington district have no dispo
sition to ignore the authority Of the general con.
ference, They believe that body was Induced TO
| do an act which 1t would not have done had
fair statement Of the facts been before 1t, ant
that 1t will certainly restore the district TO Troy
| conference at It's next session"
