ANNIVERSARY,

OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL SUNDAY
ScHooL.-The Methodist Sabbath School ce,
ebrated their Anniversary on Monday Eve
nlng last. The exercises were highly credible
to those concerned, and as we understand, en-
tirely original. They consisted of singing
Hymns by the children of the School, the re-
port of the Secretary, which states that the
School consits of III Scholars, n Teachers,
one Superintendent, one Secretary, and one
Librarian. The report of the Librarian, states,
that the Library consists of46O volumes of
Juvenile reading Books; 10 volumes of
which have just been added that there has
been changed about 20 volumes weekly, and
that he has reason to believe that those who
participate in the benefits Of the Library, read
their books with care and attention"
After the reports, the children sang a hymn
Then followed the opening address by Master
w. G. RICHARDS; next, the examination ofthe
infant Classes by one ofthe Ladies, attached
to the School. This class consisted of some
| l6 or Is small children of both sexes, and the
promptness with which they answered The
questions put to them, evinces the care and
attention Of their teachers. This part of thu
examination was closed by poetical address:
by Miss MARY HARRIS. Then followed an
other Hymn, sung by the children, and a Dia
logue, which was spoken with great effect b
Masters RoDEnr WINSTON and HOwAR
WEIR, and Misses FRANCES ROSE and AMAN
DA DowsING. Then another Hymn, and a
address by Miss CATHARME TURNER. Tn
Bible class was then examined by Capt. E. L
RANDoLPH-after which the closing addres
was spoken by Master THos. c. WEIR, and
closing Hymn was sung by the children, DIT
ring which collection was taken up by fol
of the boys, belonging to the School, Atogetl
er the examination went off exceedingly we
, and we trust that when another year rolls
round, we may again be greeted with anotht
similar exhibition.

THE F1REMAN's BALL.-We cheertully
call the attention of our good citizens to a no.
tice, in another part of our paper, given by a
committee of arrangements, appointed by the
Firemen of our city, in regard to- ball to be
given by them on the fifteenth inst. at the
Franklin Academy.
The motives which have influenced these
efficient and useful members of society are
highly commendable and worthy ofthe patron
ace of even those who do not attend balls tol
reasons of a moral nature.
1t is known that these Engines are not paid
for There is a debt still hanging over then
which will have to be discharged, or the En-
zines will be sold to satisfy it. Now the fire
men propose to pay for the ball themselves
and to charge each gentleman citizen five dol
lars for his admission,to be applied to the high
" laudable object of paying this debt
Who of our good citizens, will object to
hall for such purpose,and who in such cas-
will not subscribe! Your Houses fellow CIT
zens may stand in need OF these Engines er
an other year has passed US by, yea even be
fore IN other month is gone.

THE CHRISTIANS DEFENCE,

"AVING been lately engaged in debate
Il Il with G. G. OLMsTED, author Of "The
Bible its O0n retutdtion," at Columbus Miss,
where during nineteen nights, the following
questions were discussed: Were the authors
of the different books of the Bible inspired
men! Did the facts they detail occurl Was
Jesus Christ miraculously begotten! Did he!
preform Thiracles1 Did he rise from the dead.
The undersign proposes to publish work con-
tanning his arguments in behalf ofthe genuine
ness, credlblty, and inspiration OF the sacred
Scriptures, together with the objections urg-
ed by Mr.. Olmested, and his replies thereto.
In addition to the matter delivered by the
author during the debate, the proposed work
will contain notices and refutatons of all the
positions occupied by Mr. Olmsted in his pub
| LEGATION, "T'he Bible It's OlCn refutGtiOn." 1t
will also contain an expose of the theories of
the Infdels of the present day, and their ten
| dency.
The main object of the proposed publication
will be put into the hands of those who have
neither time nor opportunity to examine the
many volumnous works already published on
the evidences of Christianity, such fund OF
information in condensed from, as may not
only convince the careful and candid reader
|
able such to detect the sophlstry and msstate-
ments of every class ofIntidels.
THE CHRISTIANS Defence will be publish
ed in an octave volume of about 600 pages
r with good type, on fine paper and will b.
neatly bound. 1t will be issued so soon as
sufficient number of subscribers are obtained I
