BARNEsyILLE, April 10, 1879.
Between tears and smiles, April seems
striving to bring warmth and sunshine,
and the whole earth seems awakening
into life and beauty. The sleep OF win
ter is over and the budding trees and
blooming flowers speak of the near ap-
prOach of the glad simmer time when
amid the beauties of nature we so fully
realize the greatness and love of that
Father who has created all this beauty
for our delight and pleasure.
\ supper given by the ladies of the
Christian Church, for the benefit of the
worthy poor Of this place, was held at
City Hall, last Saturday evening, and
was largely attended and highly enjoy
able. The hall was artistically arranged
with the usual skill for which Barnes
vile ladies are so noted, and amid the
brilliant lights, the handsome and
attractive crowd of youth and beauty,
formed acharming and pleasant picture
Small tables arranged temptingly, with
snowy cloths and delicious viands, met
the eye on all sides, and were presided
over by fair hands and willing hearts,
whose smiles were lavished as
freely as their refreshments, and
the evening was one of pleasure
TO all. We understand that SO were
the proceeds of the evening, and we
commend these ladies for their noble
enterprise. And we hope that these
suppers may be given frequently, that
in this way all may be able to contribute
something for the relief Of the uniOrtu-
nate poor Of our town.
4 temperance movement has again

who was with us two years ago when

charming manner. A second meeting
was held at 2. VI. last Sabbath, and an
other Monday evening. They will still
be continued for some days, We hope
with much benefit and success, and
grand and glorious revival.
Elder lngraham, the new pastor of the
