stolen from his shop one day last week.
The thief walked into the shop in broad

ofthe borough at argument court last
Wednesday, George Blrtcil having re-
signed, owing to enforced absence from
home, his employment compelling him

, another minister TO come and preach for
him. He came and told how he lived or
one side of the river, and felt very little
interest for the people on the other side
until his daughter was married and went

ing he went to the window and looked
over that river, and felt very much con
r ceined about that town aud all the peo
a pie there. "Now,n said he, 81 think al
