brought to a close. The feelings of all
present were that they were most amply
and fully satisfied with the proceedings,
and longing TO have a similar meeting
again.
After the musical entertainments end
ed the audience adjourned to the hall TO
parfake of the very good things" that
were laid on the table for them by the
ladies of our church. We are very sor-
ry that neither time nor space will allow
us to give a minute description of 1.-THE

ly prepared for the occasion. The ladies
of Arvonia will more than stand com
parison with the same number of ladies
anywhere, for their ability to get up a

these tables at the hall more than amply
prove our assertion. Four large Ia

with the loads of eatables piled upon
them. Two of the ladies presided at
each end of the tables-Mrs w N.

another: Miss Jennie Allen and Mrs.
Roberts at the third. and Mrs Jeremy
and Mrs. Davis at the fourth table The
other ladies waited upon the guests. and
everything passed off most pleasantly
and charmingly.
The proceeds of the concert and sup
per were tn pay for the beautiful organ
we have in our church, and after all the
expenses were paid we had balance left
which was devoted to the funds of the
church.
Sincere thanks are due to the choir, to
both Professor Evans, to the chairman,
and to all of the ladies. Above all in
we humbly acknowledge our
God in whose services we are endeavor-

Chicago Tribune: Gen. Rosecrans is
seeking to I'LL altogether too large a

This is about the only view which the
American people will be inclined to

The Pail Mall Gazette (London) says:
"a few years ago large farms were all

direction. Large farms cannot be let;

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, like The

as handsome as he was few days ago,
but he knOws good deal more.
The story gOes that this windy states
man, taking umhrage at some remarks
on the Japanese indemnify bill by Sena-
tor Ingalls,, intimalcd that he would make
another speech for the sole purpose of
-'skinning the Kansas Dashi- Bazouk."
He gave vent to the threatened fusiIade,
but the sequence shows that Mr.. In
gals cuIicle is still in an excellent state
of preservation. Patiently awaiting
the conclusion of Morgan's frothy phi
lippic, Ingalls, coolly observed that he
saw no profit in answering the gentle
man from Alabama, remarking that
the only orator who could CON-
pete with Morgan was the steam
engine in the basement, which cease

senate chamber. Southern statesmen
in congress should heed the advice OF
the Texas lumberman, and be careful
not to -munkey with the buzz saw when
it is in mOshun."
