Church Notes.

Last Sunday, being the third Sunday of the month, was the time of the Rev. G. Small’s regular appointment at the Presbyterian church. He preached morning and evening, and the Saturday evening previous. There being five Sundays in April this year, it will be three weeks before Mr. Small’s next appointment. Evening services last Sunday at the Baptist and Presbyterian churches, but none at the M. E. church. Social meeting at the M. E. church next Sunday morning, and preaching in the evening. The M. E. Sunday-school is reported in a very flourishing condition. The attendance last Sunday numbered in the neighborhood of 80. Work has been resumed on the Catholic church. The crack in the side wall, near the North corner, has nearly closed since the thawing of the ground and will not result in any very serious permanent injury to the building. No Church this year.—The previously mentioned building committee of the M. E. Church had a meeting last Tuesday and after a careful convassing of the situation concluded to build a parsonage the present season, aud to defer the erection of the church until another year. The new parsonage will occupy the site of the old one. Certain members of the committee have been desirous of securing some other location for the church than the one now occupied, but as the committee rejected all propositions to sell them lots, and have decided to build the parsonage upon the old site, it may be considered as settled that the new church, when built, will occupy the site of the present building■
