FRENCH TOWN.
To say that the Excursion of the Wesley
Chapel Sabbath School to Frenchtowc, which
came off on the Gath instant, was a pleasant
one, wouli be using an expression poorly cal
cuEated to convey an idea Of the exquisite en-
joyment which it afforded its participants, and
for the want Of stronger term we must be
content to>cay that it was most delightful, none
having cause to regret it except these who,
haH inclined to go, decided to stay, land thus
deprived themselves of an opportunity for i'll
noCent recreation, the Ike to which, seldom
offers.
The superiority of the boat, the we'll known
urblnty Of the Captain. and the manifest dis
position OF all to promote, as much as possible,
the comfort Of the party, censpred tc render
the occasion one which memory will delight
to bring up among its recoleetons Of the past
as green spot in the journey eff life.
At the appointed hour, the decks of the gal
liant steamer were thronged with smiling youth
and approving friends to the number Of about
four hundred. The presence Of beauty and i'll
telllcence gave interest to the scene, and Joy
and harmony filed all hearts A more charm
ing day could not have been desired, and with
far prospect ct realizing all that the icndest
hopes could have anticipated, we proceeded
down the harbor The Rev. DIR. Roberts hon
ored Us with his company, and took an active
part !s the direction of the exercises. During
the progress Of the boat, we were enlivened
with some excellent vocal music and were much
profited by the remarks of that apostle of tenn
peranoe, G. keener. Esq, who is never known
to back cut when an occasion offers of urging
the claims of that cause, TO the promotion of
which he has devoted so much Of his valuable
life.
On arriving at Frenchtown, we met with a
most imposing and fattering reception. The
immense depot was thronged with an expect
ant multitude, in whose midst stood the "Men
of God, surrounded by the members of the
Elkton Sabbath Schools, under the manage
ment of their highly esteemed superintendent
VIM. Torbcrt Esq, waiting to receive their
guests, whom they welcomed with joyous songs
appropriate TO the occasion.
Casting the eye up the long ACTIVITY of the
depot, we behelda vast assemblage of beaming
eyes and honest hearts, who had congregated
from the surrounding country to join in extend
ing cordial greeting to their strange visiters |
Every arrangement seemed to have been made
that prudence or forethought could suggest, to
insure the comfort of their guests, who were
received by the Rev. Mr.. Barton in chaste
and eloquent address. He was briefly and ap-
propriately responded to, on behalf the Balti-
moreans, by the Rev. j. Hoffman Waugh of
this city, who, ia his remarks, evinced the high
degree of pleasure which the occasion seemed
to confer on all present, in bringing together
those, who, employed in different fields of la
Dor, were engaged in promoting the same i'm
Portant object.
The assembly having become seated, MIR. o. |
IL. Tiffany, of Baltimore, was introduced, and
in neat address, characterised BY depth o.
