The subject OF establishing a parcel

outer world was brought under the no
tice OF the authorities during the late
session Of the Legislature by Mr.. John
Purvis, Scotch gentleman who is on a

 The Roman Catholic church St Ame- nia, N. Y., was struck by lightning dur ing the heavy thunder shower last Thurs day night and burned to tlle ground. The recently estimated value of the building and contents was $9000. which falls far below the actual cost, as the building was erected just after the war, when prices of labor aud material were very high.
