CAsTLEToN.-We learn from the Mis-.
souri, Weekly Patriot, published at Spring
field, bearing date March 1S, 1869. that
the Presby tcrian parsonage, on Walnut
street, in that city, was visited by a large
party of young people, on last Tuesday
night. The parson and family were over
whelmed by superior numbers, and con.
quered by kindness, surrendered at dis
erection. The invaders took undisputed
possession and sway, and after having a
good time, socially, spread rich and
abundant collection from the supplies
they brought with them. One member of
the invading party made an appropriate
address, conveying, at the same time, q
plethoric envelope, containing an insur-
ance policy of one thousand dollars. one
hundred and twenty-five dollars in money.
besides numerous dimes dispensed to the
children. "To the victors belong the
spoils," they say, but these left theirs ON
the field. No doubt they left the psrson-
ago with lighter arms, pocksts and hs,rts
than they entered it, and thsy oert,inlv
took their departure with the sr.tefnl
benedictions Of their beloved pastor. vho

children, on asking his father to allow him
to be baptized, was told that he was too
young that he might fall back if he made
a profession when he was little boy. To
this he made the touching reply: "Jesus
has promised to carry the lambs in his
arms. As am only little boy, it will
be easier for Jesus TO carry me-" This
logic of the heart was too much for the
father. He took him with him, and the
dear one was, ere long, baptized. The
whole family, of which this child is the
youngest member-the father, mother,
and three sons-are all members of the
Mission Church at Annoy.

an appropriate air, which was the first IN
timation that anything unusual was to
take place. The doors being thrown
open, the house was soon taken possession
of, and pretty well filled with great va
riety of tin ware. Almost every conceiv-
able article possible to manufacture from
tin was to be seen; but a very pleasing
feature was the wedding cake made in
the form of tin pan, which Mr.. Walker
was elected to cut and distribute among
the guests. When all was ready, down
went the knife, but, greatly to his surprise,
the cake was only tin pan covered with
frosting. Remarks were made by several
gentlemen friends of the happy and IA
vored couple, when, at eleven o'clock, the
crowd dispersed not, however, until am
pie proof had been given OF the value OF
such social gatherings.

SATURDAY, APRIL 10. 1869.
The Funeral Of Rev. Dr. AIKEN.

The funeral services of Rev. Silas
Aiken, D. D., were attended Friday
afternoon at the Congregational church,
at two O'Clock. The pulpit was grace
fully draped in mourning, and on the wall
behind it the drapery assumed the form
of cross, at the apex of which, was an
elegant wreath of flowers. White flowers
also adorned the communion table below
the desk. A beautiful cross, composed of
delicate flowers tastefully arranged, was
also placed upon the coffin. These testi-
monials of affection, wrought by loving
hands, were chaste and approaching
tribute of love to the memory of this no.
BILE christian minister.
After prayer, at the late residence of
the deceased, the remains were removed
to the church, accompanied by the fam
lily. As the family entered the church,
the solemn tones of the organ added to
the solemnity Of the scene. The coffin
was then borne in and placed in front of
the pulpit, the following gentleman act
ing as pail bearers:

Charles Sheldon, Jacob Edgerton, Thomas
Mclaughlin, Frederick Chaffee

Ign, and Rev. w T. Herrick, of Claren-
don, occupied the pulpit.
