self to the congregation by his

has been largely rewarded, and there
is n warm desire not only among
his people but in the community
generally that he be returned to

time to make selection of proper
helpmate, aud we don t wonder with
so many accomplished and hand
some young ladies as that town
numbers, that his mind should be in
a vaceillating condition.
