“West Philadelphia.—Perhaps no more disagreeable day could be possibly conceived than was that which has just passed away, and last night it finished itself off in as violent a wind storm as we are seldom blessed with. We were not among the church goers, and so can only report at second hand, that all the reverend clergy officiated at their usual posts. The fair at the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, which closed on Friday evening, re-opens again to-day. The ladies realized over $1,800 for their handiwork. The new organ and the necessary repairs of the church will cost $3,000.” “City Bulletin. West Philadelphia,” (Philadelphia) Daily Evening Bulletin 20, no. 62 (Tuesday, January 19, 1866): 7.
