an pastor, Rev. Mr.. Enright. Though
past that age where men of all profess
sions are in a measure excused from the
more active service of their calling, he
attended the morning service at his own
church, preached at the Branch in the
afternoon, attended evening service with
his people and performed two marriage
services at different places during the
day. Such is the iron wear of this man
Of the Lord.

retired as usual. young son eight or ten

Amber from the House of Correction.
The petition and other matters connected
with the case were last week presented
to the Governor by Nh. Lucius Sallies,
whose untiring efforts in behalf of Mr..
Amber merit for him much praise. 1t

matter has been placed in the hands of
the Governor, who will, at an early day
