dence in Manchester Las been of short
duration, he has succeeded IN MAKING
many friends, who will learn with regret
that he is TO leave the city. lie has not

an invitation to attend the union services

Rev II. r. AGREE, who has been
nreachin0 at the Bainbridge-Street

the pulpit at that church to-day. both

THE LAMPS NOT BURNING.
The gas-lamps on the Free bridge
have not been lighted for several weeks,
and no one seems to know the reason
yhv. A gentleman said to DISPATCH
reporter yesterday that if the lamps were
not to be used they ought to be
taken from the bridge. but added
that he thought it must be some
bodv's business to see that these
lambs are lighted and it ought
TO be done. II is understood that 1t IS
the duty OF Richmond officials to have
the lamps lit every night 1t would GER
tainly be a great benefit to those who
have TO walk across it these dark nights.
