 s' The new church is nearing com pletion, and in no respect can 1t disap point the most critical At this tim the ptnel wolk is being finished u and the stained glass windows ar being placed. Then will come tn EoiIing and waxing. the organ an' pews, altar and choir: furniture, etc: Next Sunday there will bs D preaching service in the hall, but a soon after Sunday school as it can, b arranged for, probably by Il B o'clock. the rite of baptism will b' administered to several candidates a the lake. The congregation will thel assemble in the hall, where the Lord supper will be observed.
 It this keeps up much longer w shall feel so proud of our ball tean that we shall not want it to- stay ou evenings where the dew can fall on it The "Acorns'' of WilIimautic wer the l1st visitors, and the only won der is that they got their one solitar! run. The local team put up a goot game. but let down the bars in tn, last session long enough for the visit ora to nail one tally. They were good set of fellows and we enjoye' their visit, but they are not in th' class with the WilIingtons, so we arr not likely to see them here again The score :-
