the diuuer table, where everything IN the eat
Ing line had been beautifully prepared by the

over, the Rev. IL. ". Read called the meet
Ing TO order, aud Was proceeding to distribute
the prizes to the scholars, Tor good conduct,

PEELED to leave toe ground.
The addresses delivered by II. w. Thomas,
esq, Judge Broechus, Rev. DIR. Sampson, and
the Rev. Ii. ". Read, were all extremely
happy, both as 10 their matter and manner.
1t is rather difficult for persons who have
been 10 tie habit OF addressing public audi
sOce', to speak aceeptably and iostructlvely
upon such al occasion; but the unanimous
testimony Ct those present accord to the spea-
ksrs the most complete success, adapting
themselves admirably to the minds Of their
youthful bearers.
Great credi, is due to the Pastor Of the
Church, and to the Teachers OF the Sunday
School, Tor the manner 10 which the scholars
acquitted themselves on this occasion. 1t
