NEWS FROM POINTS AR0UND.

DAYTON, KY.-Rev. j. w. Zimmerman
has been for some days conducting
very successful revival at the Nj. K.
Church. Twelve persons joined on Sun
day night and three last night. Thirty
one new members have united with the
church since the commencement of the
meeting. Rev. L. +. Van C1eye will
preach tonight. A cordial invitation is
extended to all to come out.
WILLIAMSBURG, O.-Mr. Frank Simms
was married on the 17th inst. to Miss
Judie Park. The ceremony took place
at the residence OF the BRIDES father and
was performed by Rev. Henry Miller.
XENIA, O.-During the winter we have
had number of literary and musical
entertainments, which have generally
been literally patronized. The plan by
which these performances have been se-
cured is as follows, viz: Societies or
individuals will secure the speakers or
musicians, pay them certain amount,
and all above that is clear gain, or if it
falls short then there is loss in the
operation. "The Continentals" were
employed to give an entertainment on
Saturday evening by an Assistant Super
intendent Of one OF our Sabbath-schools.
Their performances are always very
good, but having number of entertain
ments recently, very few attended the
concert, hence, said Superintendent was
minus quite an amount of money. He
then made another effort to make up the
deficiency. AS the Continentals must
remain until Monday, it would be finan-
cial success to have Sacred Concert on
Sabbath evening. He advertised it. The
Continentals were taken to the different
schools, sang few pieces, and thus
made an impression, but alas! another
financial failure. The people of Xenia
are liberal, energetic, and always ready
to lend helping hand to good cause,
but do not want Sacred Concerts on the
Sabbath evening, and will give no ell
couragement to such an enterprise. We
have divine worship in all our churches
ON Sabbath evenings, and the people feel
it their imperative duty to attend when
not Providentially detained.

depth of three or four feet, doing consid-
cradle damage. ...,..z.z--
