GRASBY - Through the instrumentality of Mr Burkinshaw the church of Grasby is undergoing a thorough repair, and in perfect accordance with the church style of architecture. The nave has been re-pewed, the roof repaired, &c %c by means of a church rate which was obtained by him (Mr Burkinshaws)influence in the parish, and was moreover, even acceded to by those who came with a party spirit to oppose it, but could not withstand his arguments in its favour. The chancel end is undergoing a thorough repair, and will be beautified by a magnificent CRUX CHRISTI, the expence of which will be defrayed by his own liberality and that of his Brigg friends and clergy, who have come forward in a manner, worthy of commendation. By the kind permission of the Rev West, of Wrawby, his curate, the Rev Dunwell, gratuitously officiates with Rev Hughes, who is appointed to the place, enters upon the curacy vacated by the Rev P L Drake, and is expected to commence his duties about the 15th of next August. The spirit with which Mr Burkinshaw has undertaken so praiseworthy an act - the effectual manner in which he has used his influence - his indefatigable exertions to restore so sacred an edifice from the ruinous and dilapidated condition into which it has fallen - and his liberality, are worthy the imitation of his brother churchwarden, while neighbouring parishes have debated church rates, and contested for the same with a feeling everything but christian, he, by mild yet persuasive argument, so silenced and so won over to his side the few who came to object to the rate, that it was carried without a dissentient voice.
