The bill making appropriation for the In
dus,rial School for Girls having passed the
Senate by decided majority, we cannot
doubt that the House will give it a like favor
able consideration. This institution has long
been needed in this State, and more favor
able time for its inauguration could not be
desired. The merits of the question, so ably
presented before the committee ard in the
Senate, and the further discussion to be in
dulged in by .le House, cannot fail to con-
vince every unprejudiced mind of the desirs-
bleness Of at once providing for those unfor
tunate members of almost every community
who deserve consideration by the people of
this State.

"A large and enthusiastic company
of our citizens, without denominational
distinction, took possession of the res

city on Thursday evening, while he
and his wife were quietly taking their tea at
tho house of one of their neighbors. 1t seems
that several ladies entered into conspiracy,
| and in order that their secret might be invio-
lably kept, their plans were not disclosed to
other ladies, until the entire programme was in
safe hands; each individual lady aiding their
associates to 'keep dark" until the proper
time for the grand denouement." At about
eight o'clock the house having been filled
with invited guests to its utmost capacity,
the Rev. gentleman was sent for to otflciate
in marriage ceremony at his house; and

meant, lie at once returned home; but on en-
