Malignant, implacable, enviously sour,
He hates every man who has riches or power;
So impoisoned himself, he would gladly destroy
The comforts and blessings which others enjoy.

Sunday, February 19th, 1854. The new organ, erected in St. Edmund’s Church, was opened this day with great preachings. The sum of £54 15s. 9d. was collected on the occasion. The organ, which was considered by competent judges to be a first-rate one, cost £360, and great praise was awarded to Messrs. C. F. G. Clark and Thomas Hughes, the Churchwardens, for their exertions in collecting the amount by voluntary subscriptions.
