AT a meeting Of the Trustees G
Bethel Church near CheswOld on Tues
day night June 10th, it was decided t
=. remove the partition between the au
| the space with chairs. This was don
! because the ordinary congregation

D ions there was not sufficient room. Thi
will give the church a capacity {
4 about 400 sittings. It was also decide
to remove the wall between the Sun
day School and class rooms, and sui
stitute sliding windows, to aCcommC

!. THE paper known as taugle foot G
, ''stiok me tight" now 30 generally use
n to catch flies, though little barbarOus
a is quite etfectual. Perhaps John /
e Cooper was the most extensive user
this paper last year. The flies thU
caught in three days last week was
u half pound-from 10000 and 1900
: Those caught at this store named abov
. numbered from 5000 to 5000 pt
b day and with the large number no
using this paper, the deaths amount
3 many thousands every day. And "
they seem hardly to diminish. Wit
out the "Stiok nae tight" they wOul
y certainly amount to plague.
