The "yonng men from New Jersey"
don't loom SO much as they did since
one of them has almost admitted that
they must have "fodder." However, it

county letters that Fred. Hill is daily
growing in popular estimation, and that

and we are glad to see his services ap-
preeiated by the unterrifed Democracy

An interesting anniversary meeting of the
Foundry Methodist Missionary Society was
held last night at that church. 1t was an
nounced that the society had contributed dur.
ing the year the sum of 1882. An interesting
feature was the display Of the flags OF all na.
tions with short notice of the missionary
work on each. This was done by members of
the different classes aud was tho means of
presenting some very interesting facts. Thir.
ty-two aigs in all were shown. The last one,
the flag Of Erin, was presented by Dr. Lana.
han in a neat and witty speech. Addresses
were made by Ex-Governor Clatlin, of Massa-
Chusetls and Hon Hiram Price, of Iowa, after
which DR.. Lanahan proposed that Florence
McGibemy, the petite drummer of tho Nc.
Gibeny Family baud, which had contributed
such excellent music for them two weeks ago,
bo made life member oil the Society. The
necessary $50 was Immediately raised and lit.
tie Florence was declared elected. Mr.. Crossley,
the president, then proposed the name OF Miss
May Chandler, the Secretary of the Sunday
school, for life membership, and she too was
elected. Much credit due Mr.. A. w. Crossey,
the superintendent, for his untiring Efforts to
make the meeting success.
