 The time for the stated meeting of Elisha Johnson post, Mo-. S6, G. A. R., the annual meeting for the election of "ficers-is Saturday evening, 18th inst. Rev. Charles A. Piddock, who supplied at the Baptist church recently, thus writes to the N. Y. Examiner:
 1 The Wilmington church Is a very pleas ant and attractive house of worship, but Is situated about three miles from the railroad, and it is thought that in the l near future there should be a church edi- flee erected at South Wilmington, and the old church maintained as a mission sta tion. Should such action be taken 1t will not necessitate any change in the name of the church, but it will be in the same town, only conditions will be reversed. Mir.
