At a meeting of the parish of the
Holy. Trinity, this week, it was voted to
extend a call to Rev. Mr. McKenzie, of
New Windsor, N. Y. The vote stood
18 in favor to 7 against, and 110w the
minority claim that there was sharp
practice in the way the meeting was
conducted by the friends of Mr. Mc-
Kenzie. This argues well for the fu-
ture. '

The readers of the GAZETTE will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, re uires acou-
stitutional treatment. Hal’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do-
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
