Nothing can be done to add more to the value of property and to make tho town attractive than a good Public null. We learn that the plan proposed will give ps a handsome building, an ornament to (lie town, and a good investment to the enterprising men of capital who may feel, disposed to aid in its erection. in The Sunday School of St j Ann's Church held their Christmas anniversary in the Sunday School room in Middletown, on Christmas evening.
