The Deer Park Union Sunday School annual
celebration, on the 1Ith inst was Il very pleas
ant affair. The exercises commenced with a
grand march of about 600 yards by the school,
led by one of the officers, bearing their handsome
banner. During the march the choir sang q
beautiful anthem, then another fine piece OF
music, which was followed with prayer by
Charles Dick. After singing by the school,
George l.. Soft, Superintendent, introduced
Thomas King, ESD, who delivered lecture of
deep and absorbing interest, His subject was
his trip across the Atlantic, and what he saw
during his tour in Europe. His lecture, which
was delivered in cEastc, pleasant and eloquent
style, was replee with useful instruction. His
description of the the scenes that he passed
through was graphic, and at one time his hear
ers would fancy themselves tossed on the mighty
pillows Of the rolling deep, and anon you would
fancy yourself sailing over the ripping waves
Of the ocean, before pleasant gale, where all
was sunshine and happiness. In the gentle
mans account of his travels through Ireland
England, Scotland, France, Italy and Swizcr-
land, he described the manners and customs of
the different nations in a clear and intelligent
manner, speed with rich anecdotes and some
ludicrous taur pas. The lecture was n complete
success, and reflects great credit on its gifted
author. IT will long be remembered by those
who were so fortunate as to hear it.
After Mr.. King closed he was warmly applaud.
ed. vote of thanks TO the generous speaker
was passed by the school, ncm con.
After more fine singing, q. l.. Scott addressed
the school in solemn and affecting manner,
and the exercises were then closed. An ample
and rich treat was then given TO all who were
present. The meeting was large, over 300 per-
sons being present, and all of them seemed
well pleased. Nothing happened to mar the fes
ivitirs and the whole affair was one ofunalloyed
lc assure. MARS.

Charles Francis Adams was right when
he said that this was fast settling down into
a contest between the people and the man.
ayers" In the October States, with all the
power of the Administration and all of its
money, two Of the three States went Demo-
cratic, and one was barely saved by greatly
reduced majority. On one side were the
people; on the Other side was the great Fed
eral machine, This great conflict is now to
be repeated on the soil of the great State of
New York On the one side will he the PEG
pie, who insist upon Reform and Retrench-
ment; on the other will be Mr. Chandler
and Mr.. Hayes with their cohort of Office
holders and their money bags, ready to do or
dare anything than suffer defeat. The PEG.
pie have smashed the Federal machine in
Indiana and West Virginia, and they have
rac&ed it badly in Ohio. We expect to sec
them grind it to powder in New York.
