It has been raining all day.
The meeting of the Missionary Society of
Christ Church will take place this afternoon,
instead of Wednesday, us stated yesterday.
To-day is Epiphany, a day observed by
Episcopal and Catholic Churches, in commem
oration of the manifestation of Christ to the
Gentiles.
The pews in the Presbyterian Church were
sold yesterday. There was a good deal of
interest manifested by the congregation, and
good prices were realized. All of which is
au evidence of unanimity of the congregation,
and increasing attachment to the faithful
pastor, Doctor STEWART.
The Commissioners have made the follow
ing appointments for the current year:
Clerk— WM. LEWIS.
Attorneys —DAVlES A CARNOCHAN.
Merc until e App raise r —C HAS. ST EW A RT.
Jail Physician —C. K. LAUD.
The appointment of Mr. LEWIS for a fifth
term is highly complimentary to him, and a
deserved recognition of his ability in discharg
ing the onerous and often intricate duties of
his position, as well as his courteous bearing
toward those who have business to transact
with him.
ONLY.
Only a seed —but it chanced to fall
In a little cleft in a city wall.
And taking root, grew bravely up,
Till a tiny blossom crowned the top.
Only a flower —but it chanced that day
That a burdened heart passed by that way;
And the message that through the flower was
sent.
Brought the weary soul a sweet content.
For it spake of the lilies so wonderously clad;
And the heart that was tired grew strangely
glad
At the thought of a tender care over all,
That noted even a sparrow's fall.
Only a thought—but the work it wrought
Could never by tongue or pen be taught :
For it ran through a life, like a thread of gold;
And the life bore friiit —a hundred fold.
Only a word—but 'twas spoken in love,
With a whispered prayer to the Lord above,
And the angels in heaven rejoiced once more;
For a new-born soul ''entered in by the door.'
In referring to the anticipated departure
from this place of our popular and enterpris
ing merchant tailor. J. DOUTRICK, we were
in error in assuming that the business was to
be discontinued. We are pleased to learn that
Mr. W. 11. POOL, who has been with Mr. I).
for several years, and who is one of the best
cutters in the whole country, is to retain the
store now occupied by Mr. DOUTRICK, and
will in every respect maintain the high repu
tation which the establishment has always
enjoyed, and indeed for much of which he is
entitled to credit. We make this correction
with more than ordinary pleasure, for the
reason that we believe the town ought to sup
port such a business, and because it is in the
hands of one so competent to render satisfac
tion to the people.
As the week of prayer will begin to-morrow
and be observed at the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches, we print again the pro
gramme as arranged by the Evangellical Al
liance :
Tuesday, January (5 —Confession of sin and
humiliation before God.
Wednesday, January 7—Prayer for the
church of Christ, its ministers, its growth in
grace and its enlargement, and for revivals of
religion throughout the country.
Thursday, January B—PrayerB—Prayer for Christian
education; for the family, and institutions of
learning; for Sunday Schools and Christian
associations.
Friday, January 9—Prayer for the nations,
rulers and people; for peace and religious
libe v rty.
Saturday, January 10 —Prayer for home
and foreign missions; for the outpouring of
the Spirit upon all flesh, and the conversion
of the world.
Personal.
We received a pleasant call from our old
friend ISAAC MAKSH, of Orwell, yestcrdav.

The sittings in the Episcopal church were
rented for the current year last evening. A
large number of the congregation attended,
and several of the pews sold at a premium.
It must be quite complimentary to the Rector,

ed, and to witness such a vindication of the
wisdom of his judgment in urging the enlarge
ment of the church.

There is but one time in the year when di
rectors can adopt a new series of text hooks
for the schools under their charge, or change
old ones, and that is between the time of
electing teachers and the opening of the
schools. Section 23, Act of Mi y 1.1854, says :
" That immediately after the annual election
of teachers in each school district of the state,
and be fere the opening of the schools for the
ensuing term, there shall be a meeting of the
directors or controllers and teachers of each
district; at which meeting the directors or
controllers shall decide upon a series of school
books, in the different branches to he taught
during the ensuing school year;which books,
and no other, shall be used in the schools of
the district during said period."
Such is the law, with this exception, that,
books cannot now he changed more frequent
ly than once in three years.
