Sabbath school Anniversaries,

| The forty-ffth anniversary of the High
| street Sabbath School was observed with very
| interesting exercises yesterday afternoon. The
church was decorated with flowers and pre-.
sented a very pleasing appearance. In the
pulpit recess was an arch with the legend,
"Hitherto hath the Lord helped u.s." From
this arch hung basket of choice flowers.
Above and encircled with evergreen were.the
figures 1S23-187S, the first being the date of
the commencement of the school. Above all
was beautiful cross. The desk and the en-
tire front of the platform were covered with
plants and cut flowers arranged with excellent
taste.
Superintendent 81. W. Shaylor presided.
From the reports of the officers it was learned
that there were 251 scholars at the mmence-

important feature of the exercises and was
very fine. The exercises entitled "Sevsn

senting Faith, Hope, Charity, Peace, Joy,
Love and Purity. Each of them gave recita-
ton appropriate to the character represented,
and between the Rotations there was singing.
The address by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Fem,
though brief, was very appropriate and was
closely listened to throughout.
The twenty-sixth anniversary of the State
street school was fttingly observed last even
ing. The children occupied the body of the
church. The pulpit, platform and the sur
roundings were decorated with much good
taste by the ladies. Around the edge of the
platform was a border of smilax and ox-eye
dases, forming very pretty combination.
Behind the platform and raised up several
feet were various sized bouquets, one of them
being a memorial basket for Laura G. Berry.
The desk contained basket of choice flowers
in memory Of Helen G. Loring, daughter of
Prentis Loring, esq. Hanging down from the
top of the desk were running vines which
covered the wood work completely. Just be-
hind the desk was stand which contained
large basket of very fragrant exotics. The
effect of the whole was very pleasing. From
