FRAMPTON.— FserlvAl. or Putt= Como.—
One of these interesting events took place on Tuesday
afternoon, at St Mary's Church, in this village,
and was in every respect adopted for the occa-
sion. The various choirs, with banners, number-
ing 182 pawns, assembled at the boys' school
shortly before three o'clock. and marched in pro-
cession, beaded by the Warm The
Ride band, to the
sacred edifice, the band ring "e heavens are
telling."
arriving the church, and whilst
thecilm were going in, the band played "Sound
the loud timbreL" The choirs then took up
their position on the right and left fronting the
Communion Table, and commenced ringing the Proem-
sional Palm, the Old Hundredth. Whilst this was being
executed, the clergymen, who had previously assembled
at the vestry, marched into the church arrayed in their
robes, and joined in the seared melody. The
service was intoned by the Rev. F. Fisher, in a
very efficient manner. The Psalms for the
day were chanted to • tune by Dr. Blvey, which
had • very telling effect, the Rev. F. Fisher taking
the fink half of • verse, and the choirs the seamd. The
It lesson was read by the Rev. S. lane, and the second
by the Rev. J. Williams. The Magnifies! was taken
from the Rev. F. A. G. Ormiley's eureka in G, and was
sung very Mealy, the various MON blending together
most harmoniously, whilst the verse singers did their
part admirably. The singing of the Deus Misereateur
had a most telling affect, being sung to • Gregorian,
first tone, first ending. The Ora verse was sung in
anima and the next in harmony, the effect of
which was beautifully grand, and was given
with scarcely a fault. -The anthem was taken
from lot Ckonicies, xxix.„,_ 10-13: "Blessed
be Thole Lard God of Israel." this was sung very well
with the exemption of the duet, which was not riven as
well as the rest. The hymn prior to the sermon was
selected from the Salisbury 'funs Book, beginning
"Wake ye holy maidens, fearing." This WY nicely
rendered and given with much taste and feeling. The
sermon WY preached by the Tian'. the BAT. J. P. F.
Davidson, who 'elected as his text Revelations six., 5,
"And • voice came out of the throne, saying, praise
our God all ye his servants, and he that fear him,
both small and mat." The rev, gentleman delivered a
most eloquent and appropriate discourse, in the course of
' which he contended that praise was as essential for the
worship of God as prayer. After the sermon, and
whilst • eollecition was being made, a hymn taken from
Hymns Aperient and Modern, commencing "Now
thank we all our God* was sang with great spirit and
mintation, and the benediction -being pronounced, the
festital was brought to • conclusion. The church
was thronged with people, • great number being
unable to obtain admission. The sacred building
had been very tastefully decorated for the occa-
sion. Over the entrance was • monogram worked
In flowers " Praise the Lord," whilst over the Com-
munion table were the %lined., "Holy, holy, holy," also
worked in Sowers, whilst the pillars were de-
corated with wreaths made of flowers and ever.

CIIARLTON.--CLas Hoosra FOR TB' LABOUR-
ING CLAM/BA—At the meeting of the Social Science
CI
at Edinburgh, on Monday, Mr. Thomas
I: Bentard raid a paper 'On Clublouses for
the labouring classes," of which the following is an
abstract :—At the outset Mr. Bedard referred to
the object of club-houses for the labouring climes as
being to provide places of resort, where the members
should obtain certain material and physical comfort.,
and intellectual and social recreation piaoes similiar
in principal, although vastly different in luxury, to
the costly clubs of London. They were also
designed as means of improving the moral and social
condition of the working classes, especially by
providing substitutes for paha-houses. He gave •
short notice of • labourers' club at this
place, giving as the result of his experience
that those who were naturally well-disposed, or
whose education prepared them for it, gladly took
advantage of the club ; while those whose testes and
habits were opens preferred the public-boss. He
advocated the propriety of the benovelent aiding
the establishment of such institutions, and spoke in
Layout of women participating in these advantages
and also in favour of clubs being opened on Sundays,
if they were to form either antidotes to or substitutes
for pliblie-howes. He thought beer and tobacco
should be excluded from the clubs, and in conclusion
upraised his conviction that if the seal which bad
been shown for promoting schools had been extended
to provide restrictive substitutes for public-houses
and to provide *wounds, the advances towards
the moral and social improvements of the people's
condition would have been greater than at present

explanation of the snide of the Infant School, from

but in conespenra of the building requiring coo.
sideisble repairs, • debt of between £3 and ft had
been contracted. It was tamest this that the liberal
thank-offering of those present was solicited. The
afternoon sermon was preached by the Rev. IL R.
Watts, curate, she especially exhorted parents, as
far as their time allowed, to train up their children
in the fear of God, laying doers three gemmed rules
for their guidance-Ist, to teach their children to
pray to God as soon as thvy could speak, and to en-
oourap them by their own conduct, in assembling
