sEF, The first annual meeting Of the
Methodist Sunday School, was holden on
Monday evening last at the Methodist
Chapel, in this town. The Rev. Mr..
Stoddard delivered an Address, illustra-
tive Of the happy influence these humble
Seminaries Of piety and morals, have ex-
erted on Society, and the great results we
may yet expect from the zeal and deter
mination that animates the friends Of this
institution, throughout all parts of the ma
ton. The report was then read by the
Superintendent, Mr.. Elias Magoun, by
which it appeared, that the School COM
menced last June, with about 45 scholars,
