At the Congregational Church on Tues
day evening. proved very pleasant
affair, and was numerously attended.
Though not novel and original, Il seemed
TO enlist = deep interest, and. nolwiIh-
standing the severity of the weather. the
accommodations for such gatherings were
puiIi0 their utmost use. The plan of The
affair was TO represent George Washing
ton and his wife. Martha, as the great
presentations Of the evening. representing
the costumes OF their day, century ago.
The perscEaRts who consented to take
these paris, were. DR.. p E. Hall. and his
sister, Mrs J. D. Hubert. They re-
ceiVed the company, and were the oh
jecis Of special interest and attention.
and filed their positions very satlsfac-
iorily and crediiably-the Doctor 10 mil
iisry dress, queue powder and rufie
shirt, with side-arm equipment. Without
effort, he bore himself with all the Wash
ingtonian quiet. thoughtfulness and mod
est. and dignified reserve, and not
without consciousness of the weight OF
responsibility of the assumption. Mrs.
Hubert appeared IN black silk open
front court dress, hair cOmbed back, and
Cap Wiih high crown. She well became
the character. and her gentle, lady like
bearing was no discredit to the original.
The design of all YVES 10 appear in the
mast ancient habiliments that could be
obtained, in which some looked very
we'll and others not so well. The effec
however. was produced TO give to the
occasion an odd and mirth-proyokin
feature. Fancy took a wide range. and
the dresses and characters were as va
ried almost as the individuals of the large
company. The New England supper
was not very different IRON what these
entertainments usually are. Pork and
brans occupied = prominent place. and
,ound much favor from the excelIency OF
their preparation. Other substantials,
like cabbage and potatoes. chicken pies,
pumpkins and other pies, baked Indian
pudding, &C.. &C.. in great abundance,
and all prepared in the best style of the
cuisine out, and in this respect the ladies
of the. Congregational Church are In the
front. The spirit of the occasion was
that of pleasure and good feeling,
which alt entered into with earnestness. |
A few old-fashioned tunes were given
in the audience room of the church, with
Prof Smiths organ accompaniment, but |
The hum of so many vOicss was found |
to lie not particularly favorable for the |
best effect. The supper fee was put at
a low figure, which accounts for the CON-
paraiive smallnesS of the receipia-&50.

Another return of the anniversary ol
the birth Of Washington, the father ol
his country. dawns upon us-thp occa-

piano sccompanimenls by Miss Anna

Her solo was one of the gems of the eve
ming. the piano duets by Misses Parish
aud Wright, were not less marked. The
duet by Misses Anna and Neiiie Mullett,
entitled, 'Sad Hour of PAIRING" was very
fine. The "Penslve old Piano" sung by
Prof Howard, was a fitting performance
and highly creditable. His control over
his class showed him the master of The.
