given from Middletown. None spoke Of failure,
and but few OF decrease Of numbers, West
Chester's report gave rise to much commenda-

the necessity Of acknowledging "the Great Head

upon temperance and the necessity of training
children in temperance principles in order to

the other hand, that the children could not be
taught unless they were present, and some in.
ducement to them to come brought them within
the reach OF good training.
| AN EXCELLENT AND ABLE ESSAY ON EDUCATION
In and out of Firstday schools Was read by Hen
ry 3. Kent, and three other very good but anan-
ymot,s essys were read by the clerk. A list OF
forty or moro approved temperance works was
read, comprising many very suitable ones for
First-day school libraries. 1t is hoped that this
kind OF literature will be put freely into the
hands of the young. The cultivation of COR
rect and high literary taste was urged by Judge
Broomall in some very interesting and profitable
remarks, in the course Of which he gave some
account Of his method OF conducting his class in
Providence school, which from description
must be most valuable and useful and the school
altogether most pleasant place to be.
Joel Sharpless, Henry Russell, phebe Griffith,
DR.. Smedley, Sarah Pierce, Lydia Price, Hib-
berd Bsrtram, Benjamin Kent and many others
took an active part in the proceedings and the
meeting was considered by all present an in
