the most pleasant places TO meet for relig-

provemcnts and the elegant carpet give 1t
an air Of great neatness and purity. The
Association would now like 10 discard the
unsightly benches which dis6gure the rear
of the room, and supply their place with
comfortable scttccs just long enough TO
afford room for an aisle in the centre of
the apartment. This would improve the
appearance and enable the large audiences
TO scat themselves with greater ease than
they now can. The room bids fair to be
OF great use, as IL will be used by tho la
dies for temperance meetings, In addition
