Sunday School Excursion.

The Sabbath School connected with
the Church of the Messiah in this vii
lage, TO the number of about 100 had
an excursion on Tuesday of this week to
Morrisville. They left here at $50 and
arrived at Merrisville at 9 a. M. After
visiting the beautiful village of M. and
the falls below, and other numerous OBJ
jects of interest, they gathered in the
grove in front of the Academy and were
joined by the people of M, irrespective
of sect, and enjoyed picnic dinner,
made doubly bountiful by hot tea and
coffee, lemonade and the more substan-
tial provisions of life furnished by the
generous ladies of M. After dinner the
company united in singing familiar and
soul-inspiring hymns, interspersed with
solos, Duets, etc., instrumental and vo-
cal. The welcome thus extended to st.
j. friends was hearty, and has record
ed bright and happy event in the
hearts of all present from this place.
One very appreciate feature of the day
was the cordiality shown by the citi-
zens in opening their houses and yards
for the comfort of the feeble. The ride
was delightful, the Railroad Co. fur
nished easy, comfortable coaches and
the employees were courteous and de-
voted in all their arrangements, and
with the much improved condition OF
the road rendering it easy and safe
and the delightful scenery enroute,
with the extremely low tariff, render it
most desirable for other and future ex-
cursiOns. N.
