Store. This gentleman sent us n written invl-
taton to attend, on Monday evening, private
lelc-a- teLs at his new and handsome confecton-
airy establishment, No 8 Eutaw House, 'front.'
ing on Baltimore-st Having strong inclina-
ton towards the good and sweet things OF life,
we of course accepted the polite invitations; and
when we entered the beautiful Saloon, such
display of luscious fruits and confections greet
ed our eyes and tempted our palate, as might
cause a salivary accumulation in the mouths Of
all the gods and goddesses of the Pantheon
The table laborcd under the weight of massive
pound cakes, which seemed to eye each other
and wonder on which of them a demonstration
would first be made. The intervals were filled
with ice-creams, iellies, grapes, oranges, and
other delicacies, tastelully arranged by Mr.
VIM. O'Neill, who acted as master Of ceremo-
MES. About twenty-five guests were present,
" no were well gratlfied not only with the en-
terlanment, but with the politeness and atten-
ton of Mr.. Butcher and his assistant Mr.. b.
is now prepared to supply his patrons with eve
ny article in his line, made of the best materials
in the best manner, and at moderate prices.
The Snow-the Streets Sleighing. Sc. The
mild weather of yesterday melted some of the
snow, and if it continues equally mild, the
whole of the snow must ere long, entirely dis
appear. The people have generally adopted
the precauton Of removing the snow from
their pavemeHis, and have thrown it outside
the cutters, so that there are entertainments of
it along the sides of almost every street. In
the middle Of the streets, however, the sun's
rays and the thousands of vehicle constantly
passing and re-passng, have in most places
converted it into a mixture OF snow and dirt,
which may well be denominated "sluSh." In
places not so much exposed to the action OF the
sun, the snow remains compact and hard, and
affords toerably good sleighmg. The streets
are muddy, and the sidewalks are sloppy,
walking is consequently somewhat unpleasant.
Speaking OF sieighng, we think it must soon
disappear. Folks had better, therefore, make
the most of it while it lasts.
Important Meeting al LighI-St. Church, On
Monday evening last the members and friends
Of Baltimore City Station assembled in the Me-
thodst Episcopal Church, Light street, for the
purpose of receiving the final report of the
committee previously appointed to make ar
engagements for the payment Of the debt of the
station. The unprovided debt of the station
amounted to 1900; but the eXertions of the
committee have been 80 effectual, that the
whole of it is now amply secured by cash, notes
and other obligations, The report, which was
perfectly satisfactory, was adopted, and the
thanks of the members were unanimously ro-
turned to the committee for their indefatgabl-
ity. 1t will doubtless be a source Of Joy to the
christian community, and particularly to those
Of the Methodist persuasion, that this extensive
and influential portion Of their church will soon,
in all probability, be entirely disincumbered
from debt.
Sabbath School Exhibition. According to
announcement in the public prints, the pupils
connected with the Sabbath School of How
ard-st. Station of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, gave an exhibition, at the Rev. DR..
Morris church, Lexington St, on Monday
evening. The performances consisted chiefly
of addresses, dialogues, recitalions and sing
ing; and are highly spoken of by all who were
present as rejecting infinite praise on both pu-
pills and instructors. Notwithstanding the I'M
favorable and inclement weather, there were a
great number of persons in the church. The
proceeds will be appropriated to the finishing
of the basement of the new church at the cor
nor of Garden and Biddle streets.
