st. Peters Episcopal church Is about COM
pleted, and services will be held as usual
Sunday. The new church has been enlarged
to twice 1t, former size aud Is much more
convenient.
There Is much dissatisfaction expressed
among our people because the white squad
ron did not stop here. The reason may
have been, as Bath paper expressed 1t, that
there were too many woodcoasters In the
way, but your correspondent Is unable to
learn that any invitation was extended. 1t
seems that had such been done, the fleet
could have easily stopped here for a short
time at least. AS Ii was few of our people
had the pleasure Of seeing them pass almost
within hailing distance.
