much enthusiasm in our village. Even the

alize AMI the sound of his voice and his tin
horn was heard but occasionally during the
night of the Sd. Both the Baptist and Meth

dences of their pastors which were well at
tended. The boys band from China and the
Stevens band from Vas-alboro furnished
music during the day.-Sunday the Sth inst.
was observed at the Baptist church as Chill
dren's Day. The church was very prettly
and artisticaly decorated with ferns and
flowers In the morning two young ladies
and one young man received the ordinance of
baptism and in the evening a Sabbath School
concert was held at which the right hand of
fellowship was administered to them.-Eav-
ing is well under way and the prospects are
that the crop in this section will be one third
