designs of those struggling to advance this
noble work. He pledged us aid equal to
any amount which might be raised by the
Conference.
Rev. j. c. Hsrtzell reported as chairman
Of the committee on periodicals. He set
forth the demands of the great Southwest

which should be an exponent of our inter
ests in their true light. Then he followed
with a speech which was strong Ia logic and
delivered with that force and eloquenoe,
which few, if any one, ever heard from that
gentleman before.

Then Mr.. Croker carried of the palm BY

its grace, ease and originality, proved him
to be most perfect artist in roller skating.

The object was to simply meet friends and

its perfect seciaoility, and consequently the
absence of stiff formalities. There were
Misses o. B., o. N, J. z. l. Nee, and
scores of other chsrming young ladies,
who caused time to fly away pleasantly.
The gentlemen, too, never made themselves
more agreeable, and were particularly at
tentive. Such parties carry their own re-
concentrations; they have wholesome
effect on both sexes, not only keeping the
young men from worthless resorts, but fur
nishing them with associations which pos

proper intervals, TO give the young men the
usefulness Of their excellent company. not
