dent.-The storm of Thursday night swept over
this vicinity and left its mark, yet doing but little
damage. A large tree which stood in front of
Milton Academy was blown down. But little corn
had been cut previous to the rain and now it is
twisted and blown down making difficult task to
save it. The rain much needed, as the ground
was very dry, so much so that those who had not
finished blowing could not do go. Farmers are
very busy saving their corn crop and seeding.

day and appreciated by the scholars and
friends of JessOp's NJ. E. Sunday school, it being

the morning and busted themselves in arranging
and decorating the confectionery stand, which
consisted of two sixteen feet tables with two large
archRs of evergreen, between which a large
cross, tsstefully covered with flowers and ever
green, Croquet sets, which dotted the grove,
SET in motion and ropes balls, &C., made to serve
the purposes of those present. AT 81 O'Clock the
school, which numbers seventy scholar, assembled
around the organ which stood in the grove and
sang several hymns recited catechism, &c. Mr..
r. YOst addressed the school in interesting and
impressive manner. Preparations were then made
for treat, the school, after singing "Prase God
from whom all blessings fow," &C., receiving the
first attention and were bOuntifully supplied with
confectionery. The occasion one of interest
and pleasure. I'D +.
