There were a great many vexed houae: wives in town on Monday. That 'day being wash day nearly every lady in town had a washing opt, and all had to bang out another on Tuesday.

Exeter hats been discussed quite freely, and has gained favor. At a meeting of the officials of Main at. church on Monday offers of accommodation were received from the severalchurches in town, but it was decided to rent.the Opera House, in which to holcl all services, for the present time ; and with reference to union a deputation was appointed to wait upon the James st. officials to ascertain their views of the scheme. The conference took place Monday evening when the basis upon which the Main st. people would be willing to unite was laid before the meeting. Decision was reserved for a time, and upon the announcement of which, action will be taken e either towards umon, or the erection of a new church by the Main st. congregation. The proposal made by the Main et. people was that the James at. congreg- ation juin in the erection of a. new church in a central location Church Destroyed. Sunday morning about quarter t four o'cleck the citizens were arouse from their peaceful slumbers by th ringtng of the fire alarm. The fire had gained such headway before being dis- covered by the neighbors that it requir- ed no speculation on the part of any to locate the scene. The bright reflection from the aleady enveloped building woke the neighbors, and by the time the alarm was sounded the roof had gone in and the flames were ascending high intothe tower. The fire companies were soon on hand, but all attentin was directed to the saving of the sherds and adjecent buildings, which, duritig the progress of the fire, ignited severed -- times, and it was with difficulty and great labor that the residences of Capt Kemp and Will Folland on the rict street were saved hem the destruct g element. Large cinders were carred for half a mile. It i preaumed that fire was of incendiary origin, no Jighf oe fire having been used in the chu since the preceding Friday, but to co e- ceive a motive for the act is an impok sibility. The church was in a prosper- ous condition, It was erected in gm year 1869 when the congregetion had not a single cent to pay upon it, and a t some five or six thousand dollars. Proms time to time extensive improvemen had been made, which, with the pur- chase of a handsome pipe organ, large libraries and modern seating, ran the cost up to about $12,000, all of which -- notwithstanding the many adversitie , had been liquidated by the members d adherents. And the pastor, W. Locke, who had got nicelyev. acqua nt- ed, was -drawing large congregationstby his eloquent and logical preaching. Un fact Main at church was well tale favorably known throughout the conferences and its destruction will be regretted not only by citizens of Exeter but by many friends in other places. The fact of several of the basemen windows being open, it is thought that an entrance was effected by prying One open, and that the others were 4ilso opened to create a draught ; bne in. what part of the church the fire ewas started is not known, owing to its hies, ing gained -such headwey before disome- ered. The building was burned to the ground, not it vestige of wood used in its construction being left, and even the heavy walls crumbled and fell. Ther4ate was an insurance in the Manchestese cf $5,200 on the organs and building, which, deducted from the estimited zest, leaves a nee loss to the congre- gation of over $7,000. 0 Personals Mrs. Thos.

Expression of sympattly.
