The pastor at Dorset thankfully &C.
knowledges the kindness and generosity OF
the visit made on Thursday evening for
his benefit Pecuniarily this resulted in
sll2, 10 his favor. In other respects also
it was most satisfactory, by reason of the
very large attendance, the ample provision
made and the universal enjoyment OF greet
ings and converse. We had special graf
i6cation in welcoming the fine delegation
from Manchester, but are sure that more
was lost than gained by the absence of the
hungry editor" Yet suspecting his hun

quaintances and realizing the value OF
their assistance we cannot but feel that il

men, much more can something be done
for Rupert on account Of the fourteen no

The oyster supper at the lecture room
OF the Congregational church last week
was success, realizing, after paying ex-
penses' Sll2 for the pastor. Many from
Manchester contributed not only to the
profit but to the pleasurable part, for
which we rejoice. We did not know be-
fore that there were so many nice people
in Manchester Our great regret was that
the Editor could not have been present,
for Dorset always delights to fulfil the
Scripture and feed the hungry.
