DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

TUEsDAY.-Mr. and Mrs. Asa A. Farrar
gave a dinner party to number of friends
to-day =. Meetings are still being held at
Presbyterian Church. Mr.. Collier is one
of the most earnest and jealous of minis
ters, and it is to be hoped that this series
of meetings may be productive of great
good. :. To-day is the eighth birthday of
Miss Matte c.. Rice, and her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Rice, celebrated the event
by,a party, at their residence, on Ports
mouth Street. Twenty-Five invitations
were sent out to the little folks, and there
was general response. The hour named
in the invitations was o'clock, and the
guests were ION time" At 5 o'clock,
prayer was offered by W. d. Chefington,
after which bounteous supper was serv-
ed. The young folks spent the evening
in that free and boisterous way so char
acteristic of the earliest and brightest
years of human life, and shortly after
dark all went home bearing with them
the most pleasant recollection of the
Rices-father, mother, and daughter. The

WEDNEsDAY.-Snow again this morn
ing, though slight. ;. Our old friend Gil
bert Weed, of Grahamsville, called to-
day. Mrs II. III. Marshman sustained an
injury to one of her hands this afternoon
by having a window fall upon it. There
was arousing, Old-fashioned revival meet
ing at NJ. E. Church, tonight, sermon by
Rev. W. D. Cherington, with an exhorta
ton by Rev. A. W. Long. There were
several conversions at the altar, and, az
the notes of sacred song, coupled with
the shout of victory, fOated upon the air
the scene reminded one or the old-fash
ioned revival days, when good old fathe
Isaac Brown used to eXhort sinners tt
repentance, in the same church. Since
those days, how many have passed away
Saint and sinner, they have gone in larg
numbers into judgment, to bear witnes
of the truth or falsity of earthly preach
ing. But the work left by the good VIII
have passed away, has been taken u
by other hands, and the good work goe
on-and so it will go on; the good shal
, rejoice, the bad shall stand aloof, and tn
man without intellect shall scott. >. 4
little child of Judge II. c. Miller is i
with fever.
9 THURsDAY.-Mr and Mrs. William Ma

, J. A. Sell, of Coalition, called at this offic

Among the sublime pictures was that {
a young man accompanying his wife t
n the altar, and remaining with her, an
i praying with her, until she professed tt
f light of salvation in her soul. While pc
pie were contemplating this beautif
