CHURCH.—On Sunday the Rev Mr Leech, of Londesboro, preached here in the morning, from the text, Eph. 3, 15, "Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named;" and in the evening from 1 Cor. 15, 58, 'Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abound - in the work of the Lord." This is the first time we have had the pleasure of listening to Mr Leech, but if we are to judge from the clear, forcible manner in which he spoke. both morning and evening,we would consider him a pow- erful as well as eloquent preacher. Owing to the impassable roads, he was unable to get to Ebenezer appointment in the afternoon. Rev W. Ayers oc- cupied the pulpit in the Methodist church, Londesboro. GONE wins THE TIDE.—On Tuesday afternoon the river broke, and caused such a flood of ice and snow, that part of the llolmesville bridge was unable to stand, and moved some distance out of its place. If you want to know whether it is impassable for teams, ask Mr A. Allan, as he has had experience on the subject. Hs came out to the village Tuesday, after dinner, and just got back to the river, on .his way home, in time to see he could not cross, and he within -a mile from home had to go around by Benmiller bridge, a distance of about twelve miles, in order to get there.
