Were retilled, and promptly ION time"
the evening train came along, stitched
ON, aud the precious load was brought
home without accident, and with Il full
belief that considerable amount of
happiness had been enjoyed.
Votes of thanks We're passed to the
Baptist Chucch of Chester for their gen
erous'hoSpitality, and their indehtiga-
bic eXcrtions to promote the comfort of
their guests; and also to Geo. A. Mer-
rill, Esq, superintendent of the railroad
for the ohliging disposition he mani
tested in granting facilities of transpor-
tation, Thanks are also due to the
gentlemanly station agents Smith and
Spencer Of Ludlow and Chester respec-
lively, for important services rendered.
Having thus given as brief an account
Of the excursion as the case seemed to
admit OF, the writer would beg leave to
offer few suggestions, for which how

says. Thou shalt net steai.
Besides. good superintendent may
be supposed TO have sufficient influence
over his scholars to restrain the great
