Monday evening, with interesting exercises.

church, who also read selection from the
Scriptures. The choir. which consisted of
a portion of the Middlebury Choral Union
in addition to the regular church choir,
then sang the ode - The breaking waves
dashed high, " followed with prayer by Rev.
II. D. Kitchell, D. d. The anthem from
Mozart, "Glorious is Thy NAME" was rem
dered in c very satisfactory manner by the
choir The audience then listened to an in
teresting memorial address by Rev. |. n.
Tarbox, D. d.. Of Boston, Mass. wins
lows Hymn at C.ark's Island was then
sung, followed by the doxology, and the
benedietion was pronounced by Rev. DR..
Tarbox. The congregation were then in
vited to the vestry below, where the ladies
OF tie society and their friends had preDar-
ell a beautiful collation.. At the conclusion
Of the feast, Ez-Go7. John W. Stewart as
