 An interesting and enthusiastic union Sunday school meeting, under the auspices of the ex-committee of the State Sunday School Union, was held in the Oongrega- tional church last Sunday. A committee of four from each church, and from the congregation at South Wilmington, were chosen to canvas the town by districts as to church and Sunday school attendance and non-attendance. The members of this committee are to go out two by two, one from each church, on this errand of good will, cordially inviting young and old to attend one of the churches or Sunday schools. One possible happy result of the commendable labors of this committee may be to thwart, in @ measure, the grow ing tendency towards Sabbath desecra- cration. Sunday junketing and labor are quite 8 sharp contrast to the spirit and habits of the fathers, the former proprie- tors of these old hills and valleys. The committee are Congregational-Mrs l.. W. Holt, Mrs. Lizzie Rider, Rev. MT. Breed, R. Edgerton Baptist-Mrs. Mary Snow, Clara Sharp, Rev. MT. Terry, John B. Carpenter South Willington-Maggie Bromley, Mrs. Carol, MT. Carrol, 8. Slingsby, Charles Essex.
 The Baptist ladies have bought and are putting down handsome and sub- : stantial ingrain carpet in the conference room. It was furnished by Lord & Fay Tor, Broadway and Twentieth-st., New York. Take it all in all, the ladies now
 have everything tasteful, commodious and convenient for all gatherings held under
 their auspices.
