Presbyterian Manse Stormed. On Monday evening a party of the town people stormed the Pres byterian manse; and without any extreme measures gained an entrance. I do not know whether it was call ed a surprise party, a storm party or just a regular pounding; but I do know it was all three. It was not the congregation from the Presbyterian church. It was a representative body from all the churches in town, this made it a double success. The result is, that the pantry at the manse is well filled with the best things to eat, the pastor and hi3 family are profoundly thankful and much encouraged. May those who show such kind 'atss in providing the bread for the body be fed with that Spiritual bread which cometh down from Heaven. T. H. SPENCE. Week of Prayer.
