A splendid specimen of marine archi-
lecture was, to be seen yesterday lying at
Randall & McAllister's wharf. 1t was the
tug boat Nottingham, the largest tug of
the Jersey Central's feet. This was not
the Nottingham first appearance. here;
but she attracts attention whenever she
comes. 1t is said that the Reading road
has two tugs just built with more power
full engines than that Of the Nottingham !;
but with the exception she stands at the
head of her class. The engine is triple
expansion and gives the tug alone a speed
of 10 miles an hour. With three loaded
coal barges in smooth weather she can
make about eight miles an hour
Her two smoke stacks, connected with
her two boilers, distinguish the Nothing

8. FAY MILLS.
Comments ON His Change from Congrega
tionalism to Unitarianism.

The Boston Herald prints the following
interesting comments on Rev. B. Fay
Mills, who held the memorable revival
meetings in this city two or three years
ago:
The reported change of the Rev. B. Fay
Mills from the Congregationalist to the
Unitarian faith in religion, is puzzling
to the evangelical Christians. Mr.. Mills
has been q very successful revivalist
preacher, yet it is remem bered that he
has never placed theology to the front as
much as has Mr.. Moody in his discourses.
.Heis man of winning address, mild
in manner and thoroughly spiritual in
his methods Of treating religious topics.
If he Identifies himself with the Uni
tarians, it is safe to say that his Unitari-
anism will be after the manner of Chan
ming and Gannett rather than that of the
school founded by Theodore Parker, and
which had SO able an apostle in this city
in the Rev. NJ. j. Savage, the latter, by
the way, originally a Congregationalist
preacher

Manan, and as far west as Portland. and
their health, as we'll as their wealth, has
improved as the season advanced. The

Refinery of Boston is the best in this
country, being the product of the highest
grade of cane sugar only, no beet sugars
being used in its manufacture, is now
so generally recognized by the people Of

their customers with it.
