SUNDAY School PFC NIc.-On Wednes-
day the 9th inst, the Baptist and Con.
gregational Sabbath Schools Of Ludlow
awaited themselves of a kind invitation
Of the Baptist Church in Chester to at
tend pic mic in that place.
Two large cars had been chartered to
convey the company, but they proved to
be insufficient, as there could not have
been less than $50 men women and
children that were "all agcg." They
were however soon landed in good con-
dltlon at the Chester depot. 1t had
been expected that the schools would
meet in beautiful grove near by. but
the owner objected for the reason as we
understood that the children would be
likely to steal some of his apples.
They accordingly marched in procession
with beautiful banners to the Baptist
Westinghouse, about half mile distant
Where interesting exercises were held
consisting Of prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Johnson, singing by the scholars, ad-
dress Of welcome by Rev. Mr.. Gurr, and
brief remarks by Mr.. Watkins superfn-
tendent Of the Ludlow Congregational
School, Mr.. Redfeld, former superin-
tendent, Mr.. Sherman superintendent
of the Baptist School, W. H. Walker,
Esq, and NJ. Burbank of Ludlow. and
Mr.. Shaw, Principal of the Chester
Academy. Mr., Gurr in his remarks
stated the interesting fact that out of
nine members quite recently added to
his church seven were from the sabbath
school; and Mr.. Shaw expressed the
opinion that this proportion would hold
good in other churches.
The audience then adjourned to the
yestry below, where every one took a
part in the exercises, which we scarcely
need say consisted in the enjoyment of
feast Of good things.

The baby was a WEAKNESS TO her and
she devised a plan for disposlng of 1t,
which, in its slow, deliberate atrocity,
surpassed anything ever committed by
slave-traders, Through u period OF
three weeks she continued breaking the
babys bones one by one, till when IL
died the surgeon found eight broken
ribs, a broken shoulder, a fracture OF
each bone Of the left forearm, another of
the thigh bone, another OF one leg be-
low the knee. another of the upper and
lower bones OF the right arm, aud an
other of the iawbone. The only eX-
terual appearance was a black lump
over each fracture, and the woman had
calculated that she could explain the
death as CAUSED by these swelingS.
