urer, Miss Fannie Burghart. They meet, this week, in the Church Parlors, prepar- ing for an entertainment in the near fu- ture.
 The Hattertown correspondent, last week, certainly must have been sadly misinformed, or Intentionally misrepre sented the case in regard to the action of the church at their last meeting. By re- quest, the meeting was called for the purpose of giving MT Lawson an oppor- tunity to confess his recent errors and, when the committee took up the charges against him, commencing with the first of their great misfortune, he was unwil- ling to accept this situation and only de- sired to make general confession, leav- ing many serious and grave acts still ob scure and in doubt, causing division in the church. To this kind of confession, the church would not agree, whereupon he immediately withdrew from the meet ing, refusing to comply. After such con- duct, no candid, reasonable person could conscientiously censure the church for voting to suspend him for three months. "Mihi cura future."
