From our Regular Correspondent
A very interesting discourse was given
at the Congregational church here last
Sunday relating to the missionary work
Delng done among the Zulus, in the
vicinity of Natal, Africa. Mr.. Brown
was exceedingly well informed on his
subject and it is to. be regretted that a
larger number could not have been pres
ent at this unusually interesting meeting.
Hardly day passes without intense
heat and more or less Tightening, wind
and rain. The elements can certainly be
said to be at war with each other. Great
anxiety is experienced by almost every
one when shower commences to rise
since the hurricanes of last week. There
were, in the gale of Tuesday of last week
seven barns in this town wholly OF par
TALLY unroofed.
The schools with the exception of one)
throughout the town closed last Friday.
