On Sunday last the Presbyterian con-

coming will be more particularly well
coined by his own congregation, we
have no doubt he will be friend to
every good cause amongst us.

THE town was again alarmed by the
cry of fire OH Monday evening. The
Methodist church bell was rung with
vim, but il was some time before the
gathering crowd could learn the direction
Of the fire. Finally it was learned that
the extent of the confagration was the
burning out of Mr.. McEachern's stove
pipe, in the extreme south WESTERN
part of the town. AS it was the people
had little exercise by way of drill that
may the better prepare them for the real
emergency should it unfortunately come
before the recollection ofthis experience
is gone. A few brought pals of water,
one or two hand force-puinps were OH
the scene and most of the rest of the
crowd were prepared to be spectators.
