and colors of house flowers, such as Dot
flowers, hanging baskets, &C., interspers-

which were hung various cages of merry

and yivacity of life.
The exercises consisted of singing I'M

ment of Hon. p. A. Rohrbaugh, of Mar
tinsburg, prayer by the pastor, recita-
tions by the school, also an appropriate
address by Bro. Rohrbaugh, responsive
reading, &c. The audience was both
large and attentive. Rev. j. w. Hedges
also occupied a seat in the pulpit, and his
pleasant countenance plainly indicated
his satisfaction and was doubtless an in

of the exercises Mr.. Rohrbaugh was pre-
