ST. JoBN's CHURCH FEsTIvAL.-The
pleasing Festival given by the ladies
OF Gold Hill in aid Of St. Johns
Church and Sabbath School, we are
pleased to say, was largely attended
last evening, Notwithstanding the at
fractions Of the Eastern Star concert
and ball and the theatrical opening at
Virginia, although the attendance Of
gentlemen was not quite so large, per-
haps, rs 1t might otherwise have been,
or as there will be this. evening. The
various fancy, floral and retreshment
tables, especially the delicious straw
berries and cream, were we'll patron
lied, and with the dancing, good mn-
sic, good company and general socia-
bility, everybody had a very enjoyable
time of 1t. The most amusing feature
of the evening was the "Gallery Of
Arts" so agreeably and efficiently pre-
sided over by Mrs. Stoddard and Miss
Batterman. That fine exhibition OF
paintings, statuary, ETC., by the old ana
young masters, Is well worth the price
of admission to the entire festival. We
are requested to announce that the FeS-
tival will be continued one more even
ing after tonight. Tomorrow, be-
tween the hours of II A. n. and 3 p. NJ,
there will be exposed for sale Mt the
hall a splendid lot Of desirable articles
In the way of children's and ladies'
dress, made in the best style, and Of
fered at fair prices. Recollect and oe
at the Festival tonight.
