most infamous on record. Its purpose
was to send sUolambus Alexander, a
respectable citizen to State Prisos, be-
cause he took an active part in oppos-
Ing the swindling operations of Boss
xhepard's Ring. Babcock, the Presi-
ident's Private Secretary was chief
measurer of ths Ring, and shared in
its stealings. He and Richard Har-
rington, Assistant District Attorney,
with others. employed professional
burglars to break open the safe in the
District Attorneys Office. take out GER
tain books aud papers. and carry them
to Aiexander's house. At that moment
the chief of police was TO have arrested
Alexander, aud the burglars were to
swear that be employed them to COM
nit the robbery. The safs was broken

made some appropriate remarks in regard to
the goodness and tender mercy Of our covenant

rows and conflicts of fifty long years; and also
In permitting so many Of us to share in the

The friends generally were Represented with
their gifts. These exercises were closed by
reading the following beautiful and appropriate
stanza:
Lord, we offer glad thanksgiving,
For this happy, golden day;
For thy servants who together,
Fifty years have trod hfe's way
For their joys and for their sorrows.
All, thy hand in love hast given .
For the dear ones, clustered round them,
And the lear ones, safe in heaven.
For thy grace which early brought them
In the way of life to tread,
For thy strength which has upheld them
When dark clouds around them spread,
For the labor thou hast granted
Them in love to do for thee
Fellow-workers, in thy vineyard
Lo, these many years to be,
May their days still heightened be;
Long, oh Father, spare them to US,
Ere thou calest them to thee
But, at last, may we all gather,
Saved by thy eternal love,
Sing our songs OF glad thanksgiving
AT the marriage feast above
Another part of the programme soon fol-
lowed when for nearly half an hour we were
furnished with such variety and quantity Of
the choicest specimens from the culinary de-
partment, to suit the appetite, that we seemed
to feel that the land flowed with milk and
honey. At the close Of this sumptuous feast,
Sister Saxton gave us brief outline Of their
family story, WEIGH was as follows: Deacon
Saxton was born near Saratoga Springs N. Y.

years. Thirty-seven years ago they removed

been active laborers and burden bearers in our
great Baptist zion.
