were most impressive and interesting, and
attended by large congregations, and every

ST. John Church, Brandywine Village, pur-
pose holding another Fair and Festival at
the City Hall on the 20th, 2lst and 22d of
OF the present month Money is needed for
the furnishing of library, melodeon and

and ii is hoped that this effort will succeed
in obtaining it. There are attractive fea-
lures in contemplation. The amateur Quin

profitable in its results, that we doubt not
the second one will accomplish all that is
anticipated. We bespeak for it the generous
sympathy of our citizens generally.
