im the coming summer. Last year some

warm weather, will ask Postmaster
Coyne's assistance. Postmaster Coyne
said: "Possibly the regulation uniform
is too heavy for the warm weather and
a lighter jacket might be devised.”

high between different sects, A sect
known as the Nazarene, which some-
what resembles the Society of Friends
(or Quakers), and which has been
prominent in Hungary for about forty
years past, assembled for divine service
in their meeting-house. Rival sectari-
ans, who hate the Nazarenes, locked the
meeting house door while the latter were
at worship and set fire to the building.
A frightful scene ensued, 10 of the Naza-
renes being burndd to death and 45 of
them badly burned in the conflagration.
