David Dreyfuss came to Providence

sent 10 MIR. j. Lowrie Bell, I'd assist
ant Postmaster General, with strong
recommendation TO adopt the sugges-
tions that we made, concerning the
change from Mayersville 10 Skipwith
for the meeting of the carriers and the
exchange of mails We would suggest
thai. unless we hear from it in very
short time, a strong petition should be
gotten up here and sent 10 Mr..
Buatner, our efficient Congressman,
requesting him TO secure US the change.
A similar petition should be gotten up
by the Mayersville and Skipwith peo-
pie and sent to Congressman Catch
Jugs and no doubt the influence of
these two gentlemen would immedi-
ately remedy the evil. Let US keep
on ri it, till We get the change effected.

Rev. G. Maize delivered very beauti.
full sermon at the Catholic Church
on Christmas day to large cougre-
CATION. His text was, "Glory be to
God on high, and peace on earth TO
men Of good will" The argument of
his sermon was to show why God
should be glorified, aud why the
church has used both nature and
science to adorn her house. How she
makes use of the sculptor, painter,
poet and musician TO touch the heart
Of her children and beauiify her tenn
pie, all these things work upon the
senses of the bowed down aud care
worn poor. They soon become oblivi-
Gus TO their affection, aud gentle
music stealing into their souls inspire
them to glorify God on high and pray
leace on earth TO men of good will
The same influence is sustained in the
rich and ambitious, one example neces-
states the other, they forget the lordly
gain, and join in he Civilizations offered
on high to their Savior and God.
His sermon was chaste and pure, and
his diction smooth and flowing, having
all the traits of an easy and concise
style aud devoid of repetiiions and
brakes. Ii is a great pleasure 10 listen
TO Tho Father. aud his sermons are
always appreciated.
