the department, but as they. have not
taken on official shape no notice will be
taken of them by our Government.

pit and gave the congregation of Maysville
church two excellent sermons on first Sab

the road to the West and that some such
plan is being matured. MIR. Newgass de-
clined to make any definite statements on
that line and said that his people would
not do anything hastily. He and his
