The City Hall slowly moves up
ward Another month of reason

walls completed and the roofing
commenced. The structure will be
credit to the city.
A course of lectures has been in
augurated for the coming season.
This course is backed by one hun

the VI Il. church, it is thought, al
though it is not now certainly known,
will be APPOINTED TO a presiding-el-
dership of some northern district, 49,

Mr., Irish has done a good work, is
evident in a comparison Of the iinan-
cial condition Of the NJ +. church
