set in earlier than usual.
The Free Baptist quarterly meeting,
which occurs here once in two years, will
be held this week, and last over next Sun
day. Situated on the crest of the mountain
ridge forming the eastern line of the place,
no other church building here presents such
lovely external charms for an occasion like
this, in June. Add to this the hospitality
of the neighborhood, and the interest of the
meetings themselves, and the pleasure of
these biennial occasions in the years past is
easily accounted for

cutters, and return to work, by 4 firm
