Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, there was a very largo audience. It is the run en^° n °l S th T bluldin ? committee, I understand, to tW r^r 11 entertainments, and it is to be hoped that they will meet with success, as there is vet a large amount of money required for the final finishing of our handsome church. ° A very enjoyable social was held under the ans pices oi the ladies of the Altar Society on last Tuesday ST* "A? the T ?
