AT CHRISTIAN CHAPEL.

The rain last night prevented many
from attending the sociable at the Chris
tan chapel, but those who did attend, en-
ioyed themselves. Strawberries, cake,
and otEer dainties were to be had in pro-
fusion, Excellent music was furnished
by the young peoples society, in whose
behalf the affair was given. 1t was one
of the pleasantest gatherings that has
been held at the chapel for long time.
CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The weather interfered greatly with the
sociable and festival at this popular
place of worship, but, notwithstanding
the down. pouring rain, many attended.
The freshest strawberries to be had were
served, and the highest favored cream
and the sweetest cake The pleasure to
be derived was we'll worth the .disagreeable
trouble of going. 1t is to be hoped that
the church will give another ere long, and
that the weather will favor it.
