MUSIC, where we're two long tables laden
with all varieties Of food, fruit and aowerr

marshas had so arranged matters that
when the music ceased all were neatly
seated around the tables 10 the number Of
over three hundred. The Rev. Mr.. Hyde
invoked the blessing of God upon the oc.
casion which scarcely no one would doubt
was fully realized, and richly bestowed
and enjoyed, could they have been but
spectators, and much more, could they
have been partake-s, After the repast.
