PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the congregation at this
church was not large one on Sun
day last to hear the new preacher,
Rev. Mr.. LeFevre, who filled the
pulpit on that occasion. The dis
course was a most excellent one,
based upon the text, God Forbid
that I should glory save Sin the
Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ" !"
The sermon was an able one, full OF

Of which we have information. Warned
by the fate of these, there was general
clearing off of roofs. The general wretch

the danger very general one.
Altogether this snow storm is remark
