LOCAL AFFAIRS,


ArrESrroN.-The Executive Committee
appointed at the late Union County Meet
ing, are requested to meet at Fosters Hotel
in this city, on Wednesday morning next,
June 25th, at II o'clock. Prompt attend
ance is desired
FEsTIvAL.--Very few persons were aware
of the fact that the Institute Building con-
tanned II room so well adapted to the pnr-
pose to which the Sbpley street hall has
been appropriated for the past few days, hut
we imagine applicants will be more frequent |
hereafter The Festival Of the Young |
Mems Christian Association of the Central
Church, which closed last evening, was
decidedly good recommendation, ms we learn
the sales amounted to nearly il not quite,
$500. This may he owing to the handsome
manner in which the room was decorated
with evergreens and flowers or the excel
lent quality Of the refreshments served by
agreeable ladies'. hut We incline TO think the
place had less influence than the propretors.
A description of the scene would convey
an imperfect idea of the real merits OF the
affair but it may suffice to say that arbors
OF eyergreens aud ilowers--a magnificent
boquet table in charge of young lady and
her Sabbath School class with jellics and
ices, strawberries and cream; charming
music from an amateur company all com
bned 10 make most agreeable entertain
meni, and the proceeds happily applied 10
an excellent cause II time permitted, we
might say many more good things concerns
ing this iairy-like exhibition and Festival;
but for the present this must suffice.
