nam, Samuel LAughlin, Esq, and W. a,

lerest OF all connected with it.

THOMSON NJ. L. CHAPEL, ISLAND.
Last night at this church, was witnessed
one OF the finest floral decorations which
has taken place in this city. The Super
intendent, q. II. Collier, Esq, was una
vOidably absent from the city, as was also
the pastor; but. being Children's day in
hat church, they did not put of the Cele'
bration. Rev. DR.. George, Judge Okey
johnson and +. G. CraCrait, ESD, adj
dressed the school, and we only regret We
cannot publish their remarks.
The singing was under the direction
OF Mr.. Mack Kelley, and fully up TO the
standard for which this school is noted,
the whole exercises being under the direc'
ton Of L. ]. Stone, Esq, who wa in his
best frame OF mind. 70 Mrs. Bell, Mrs.
Martin aud Miss Cora Zane, of tue ladies,
is great credit due for the success in great
part OF arranging tho flowers, and it was
certainly the finest display we have wit,
messed in many a day. The church was
completely packed with the children and
their friends, and, il We mistake not, the
signs Of the times point to the necessity
OF soon enlaging their church, or else
using up stairs as well as down for the
use Of the school.
