Several providential circumstances, which might be mentioned if space would allow, occurred to encourage and aid us. The work was accomplished without delay, and in a manner exceeding our most sanguine expectations. A beautiful church of wood, (42 by 36.) with a handsome tower, and vestry room (12 by 18,) in the rear, and gallery across, has been thoroughly finished by day's work, of the most substantial materials and workmanship, and completely painted with several coats of paint for the moderate cost of $2000."

*' It must be observed, hov/ever, that a small lot of ground eligibly situated, was given for a site, together v/iih the timber for the frame, and the drawing of the materials. The builder also (Mr. L. Eggleston.) very generously gave off his usual profits."

'•'Two gentlemen in New York, presented the church, the one with a chandelier, the other with a pair of lamps for the pulpit, very acceptable gifts, both costly and ornamental."

" Without assistance from other parishes this church could not have been built. About $675 were given by them."

The church was consecrated, September 13, by the bishop of the diocese, twelve of the clergy being in attendance. There is an interesting historical fact connected with the church in this town, which it may be well here to record.

Previous to the Revolution, a site was selected for a church edifice, not half a mile from the spot now occupied for this purpose,«and was designated by the letter C, inscribed on a rock.
