WATERFORD.-Notl long since we receiv'
ed q check for s9325, from I. A. Stan
wood, formerly OF this city, which he has
owed us some seven years. lie stated
also that he had sent checks to all whom
he owed, whose account he considered
correct. He went through bankruptcy
some years since,-not to get rid OF his
debts, but that he might not be harrassed
by his creditors till he was able to pay
them. This honest settlement OF bills he
was not legally holden to pay is an exhi-
bition OF practical Christianity as pleasant
as 1t is rare. Mr.. Stanwood was made q
deacon of Plymouth church last winter,
and we have some other debtors which we
wish they would make deacons of.-Gdrdi-
