came off last Tuesday evening at the
School House Hall, was very credit
able one. 1t was opened by Bishop
John P. Sartle in an exquisite address,
followed by prayer from Mr.. Tabor.
Owing to the inclemency of the wealth
er the gathering was small, hence the
sale of articles was not so large as
might otherwise have been. The pro-
fits of the evening to the society we
are informed amounted to about 500.
Many of the articles offered tor sale
taste and skill, were taste
fully arranged and presented quite an
attractive appearance. The hall was
IN charge ofBishop John P. Sartle, and
strict order was enjoined. The ar
rangements for supper were extensive,
the tables well furnished. We under
stand the society intend holding an adj
JOurned lair some time in the future,
when the unsold articles together with
those to be received, will be offered
tor sale upon the same plan as the one
just passed. 1t is to be hoped that
with extensive advertising, lair wealth
en-, and the splendid management OF
Bishop Sartle, it may prove even more
extensive, Interesting and profitable
than the one just held. 1t is wor-
thy society and engaged in a worthy
object.
