 mittee and the society's committee of the Union church, which was held last
 week, was called to advise as to the
 best method of raising funds to meet
 the deficiency of the running expenses of the church.. 1t was concluded to have the Rev F. w. Fletcher announce
 the condition of affairs from the pulpit to the entire congregation. Accordingly
 last Sunday MT Fletcher made the an- nouncement, which showed the church to be over $100 in arrears in running expenses. Slips were distributed among the pews and pledges called for to liquidate this deficiency. About $43 was pledged. This is the first time this church has experienced any thing except a surplus. Several plans are under discussion for the raising of larger sum of money.

 water supply not being adequate. Mir
