The NAZARETH HALL REUNIoN.-The Naza-
reth Hall Reunion Society will meet at Nazareth,
Pa, on Friday next, June 9. As no meeting of
the Alumni has been held since the dedication
of the monument in june 1868, an unusually
large attendance is anticipated. In addition to
the interesting ceremonies attending the meet
ing of old friends and schoolmates, fraught with
so many recollections of school life, an event
of more than ordinary importance will take
place at the Nazareth Tavern. This venerable
inn has attained its hundredth year, and the
psesent proprietor intends to celebrate its CEN
tennial anniversary in an appropriate manner.
The building is to be tastefully decorated with
greens, and at IL o'clock dinner is to be served
to the Alumni Association, at the conclusion of

THE New DEPOT AT GERMANTowN.-Yester
day workmen commenced making excavations
along the line of the Chestnut Hill Railroad,
preparatory TO the building of the new depot of
the Germantown and Norristown Railroad Com
pany. The object in working on Sunday was to
enable the men to make the excavations without
interruption from the numerous trains which
pass that point during every day of the week.
The work on the new depot will be continued,
we understand, until it is completed, and the
business of Germantown turned away from the
Toll-gate house, which has SO much interfered
with the business men on Main street. The new
depot at Chestnut Hill, which is on the same
plan as that to be erected on Chelten avenue, is
rapidly approaching completion.
A GREAT CAMP MEETING.-On the Sth inst
Methodist camp meeting will commence al
Salt Lake, Utah, under a canvas tabernacle

$3.50 or a saving over the usual rates of $93 40
