EAST CHARLoTTE.-A Centennial enter
tainment at East Charlotte June 29th. was
truly enjoyable occasion. The evening
was lovely, the church was abundantly
| lighted. giving a fine effect to one of the
most prolific and tasteful floral displays we
| have ever met with in country church.
The house was literally packed all maniies
| ly enjoying the exercises which were shor
| lncisiye, and each one fitted 10 its place
with mathematical exactness. and yet as
| spontaneous as the singing of birds.
Rev. L. Il. llibbard. presided in his usual
happy. playful manner. The singing was
fine, the pieces well chosen. and happily
rendered. DR.. Hodge in racy address Of
some thirty minutes. made tho progress of
the century to pass before the audience as a
| living reality his quoting OF several pas
sages from tue Old Virginia and Massachu-
sets laws, made our full religious liberty
! to possess rdiue, real charm, seldom
realized as then From the church. the
congregation passed to a large tent, where
was exhibited, large collection of articles
Of interest, from seventy-fiye, to one hum
dred and seyenty-fiye years old, wildly
showing the progress made in many of the
| industrial pursuits. On proceeding from
the tent TO Lyceum Hall table was found
spread. just as the ladies OF East Charlotte
know how to do it, heavily laden. and rich
| ly. and tastefulIy decorated. The hall was
tastefally trimmed and the whole scene in
| spring and ennobling; and if decoration
OF some thirty national flags would not
awaken patriotic feelings, then there can be
| little use in bunting. II.
