MT 4 lTse number were expected The
Hall was however, literally fllel 10 oserd "
ing Many who were present the first even
ing had returned 10 witness the JOY and hi
hrity brought together by 81 many Of the
rising generation. The crowded state Of the
Hall, during the last evening, rendered it i'm
possible for all present 10 receive tina, attcn-
ton which otherwise would have been be-
slowed We hope however that all were
asrecably entertained and satisfied After the
company reiircd it was found, there was lef,
in the hands of our Treasurer, Capt Spencer
Trcworgy, (who has taken very active and
liberal part in this rnat,er,) the sum of Two
Hundred and Twenty Dollars (So2o) to be
appropriated for a Bell for the Baptist Church
in this village The Congregational Church
in this yillage was at the time of its erection.
furnished with Bell, which since that time.
has had to perform tbs difficult task, of call
ing out on the sabbath both the reli sous soeic-
tfS and directin; to each House its respective
assembly, We hope that Deli from the
Baptist House, may s,ou ba heard assuming
part Of this ab~ and responsibility, and that
both houses may be filled with ripas worship
