CAsTLEToN.
The most pleasing and noteworthy event
with us, last week, was the arrival, at noon
Thursday, of the first Presbyterian Sab
bath school and other citizens of Cam
blidge, N. Y, to the number of between
two and three hundred. Immediately after
leaving the cars, they were formed in pro-
cession by Chief Marshal A. w. Stiles of
this place and proceeded to the delightful
grounds of Castleton seminary, escorted
by the Salem cornet band, Henry Bus
sci leader, who appeared in handsome uni
forms and with bright, shining instruments
to the number of ten mouth pieces, a bass
and tenor drum and cymbals. From one
to two o'clock, they partook of sump-
tuous and delicious dinner that was con-
veyed from Cambridge to the tables on the
spot in eighty well filled baskets and pack
ages. At the conclusion of the repast,
they were called to order by Mr.. Hawkins
of Cambridge, who had been constituted
master of ceremonies, and then came the
flow of soul and music, both vocal and in
strumental, in abundance for two hours or
more, the chief speakers being Rev. Mr..
Blinn, their pastor who for two weeks has
been guest at the Sanford house and
whom the people came to see and honor,
and Rev. l.. fl. Stone of this village. They
are genial speakers in the open air as well
as in the pulpit. The vocal music was
finely rendered by 40 OF more well cult
waited singers. The band is pet institu-
ton in Salem and well it may be, as but
few bands in city or country excel them
in music or in .gentlemanly department.
The entertainments concluded with the pass
ing of resolutions complimentary to the
Congregated society for use of organ, to
the Seminary trustees for use of grounds,
and to others who had rendered their as
slstauce during their visit, and a general
invitation for all Castleton to 90 on an ex-
cursion to Cambridge. Said invitation will
doubtless be complied with in due time.
The Sanford holse and grounds were
grandy illuminated last Wednesday eve
ming, 1t being the occasion of lawn fes-
s,cey. The n, tt proceeds of the enter
tainment. WAS twenty eight dollars, it ist
be appropriated to the cause of missions.
The Young ladies conducted the festival in
a manner every way creditable to them
selves and 10 the qualification of their nu-
merous patrons and well wishers.
The departures from town, last week.
were greater than the arrvals. Among
tho.e who took fiual leave were the Arnol,'
family If ST. Louis the Wright family and
Charlie Sherman of Fast Hampton Mass !;
the Collins family of New York, and Others
from different localities in county and
city.
For the last two weeks the Rev. Edward
T. Hooker has ofiiclated for the Congrega
tional churchhe has recently returned from
the south where he has been preaching
sevesal years. His ministrations here in
the pulpit, IN the social meetings, and at
the communion table have been highly
priced by his entire congregation. He Ii
a son of the late Rev. Edward William
Hooker, d. D., for many years an eminent
Vermont divine and who was associated
with such standard religious men as
Walker, Merrill. Leavitt, Mitchell, Aiken.
Steele and Child. DR.. Hooker was first
heard in Caslleton in the summer of 1843,
at which time and place he delivered a val
liable address on the subject of sacred music
at musical convention held in the brick
church, and one of the most thrilling tenn
perance lectures we ever listened to was
given by him in the same church in the
winter of 1860. In 1S43, he was pastor
in Bennington and in 1860 at Fairhaven.
