The interesting and profitable meetings
at st. Paul's closed on Tuesday evening.
1t has been the most successful meeting
held there for many years. Mr.. Aldred
seems to possess a great deal of the spirit
OF Mr.. Moody. He feels that the message
is from his Master, aud it is life or death
to those who hear it. And again the sue
cess is largely attributable to his social
qualities-he visits the people. There are
few, if any, homes in any of the necks that
have not been visited by him. Meetings
of a similar character commence here next
Sunday night, and at the Presbyterian
Church. Georgetown. on the 9th of this
month. During the whole progress of the
meetings we have had no smash up to
chronicle, Notwithstanding he number to

SILVER WEDDING.

\ pleasant affair occurred, on Monday
evening last at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Morris Il Wilkinson. of this county.
who, about eight o clock, were surprised to
see number of their friends enter, and as
they still continued TO come, 1t soon became
evident from the numerous packages they
bore, that they had come to celebrate the
silver wedding of this couple. After the
bride and groom of five and twenty years
ago had received all their guests, and spent
a part of the evening in conversation. they
were invited to descend to the dining room.
where. meanwhile, several of the ladies'
mindful that man cannot live on air. had
spread an abundant supply of good things.
On their way to the dining room they en-
tered the family sitting room, where were
displayed quite number of very hand
some and valuable presents. While the
various articles were being examined. a
poem, which was written by Mr.. Samuel
Wilkinson, a brother of the groom was
read. Another poem, by Mrs. 5. A. Heus
zey, Of Philadelphia, a cousin of Mrs. W.,
was read. which was also accompanied by
a handsome present. Mr.. w. replied by a
few appropriate remarks, in which he
thanked the guests for their kind remem
brance of them on the anniversary of their
marriage. They then led the way to the
dining room, where we all know they were
not idle.
After they all had vacated the room
- Georgiana and Kate" the godesaes of the
kitchen, aud Tom" were called in. On
the ebony face of the latter was to be seen
very perceptiole smile, and that they did
justice was attested by the rapid disappear
ance of the viands.
AS the night wore on into the "wee sma'
hours the guests took their departure
with many wishes that they might be per-
mtted to come back again to celebrate
their golden Wedding. \ GUEST.

ton, Del, Corresponding Secretary of the
Womans Foreign Missionary Society. In
consequence of the moist weather the con-
gregation was small. After opening prayer
and reading of the scriptures by the pas
tor, Rev Mr.. Ridgway Mrs. Stevens ad
dressed the audience upon the workings of
the Woman's Missionary Society, picturing
the pitiable and degraded condition OF the
women of heathendom. who in consequence
of the customs of those countries were
kept in strict seclusion from man kind and
who therefore had been unreached until
woman had taken upon herself the work.
She then showed the work accomplished by
the Society she represented since its forma-
ton, and concluded with an appeal to her
sex to aid in the work. An opportunity
TO join the auxiliary society of this church
was then given, and about fifty members
were secured, each Of whom agree 10 pay

Stevens is lady of tine appearance and
