THE subject of the sermon at the
Presbyterian Church next Sunday night
will be "The Hiding of God in the
Book of Esther" The book seems not
to contain the name Of God, but it is
there, concealed most curiously in a

remarkable things. The acrostics lin
the Hebrew will be shown, and, as far
as possible, explained, in the course of

A PARTY of young men, composing a
quintette, went out one night last week
on a serenade, and spent some two

the windows of the fair ones. They
varied it with some very harmonious

compliments from the young ladies.
They will probably repeat it several
times during the summer holiday.

The farm OF E. Lower, near Bren-
ford, indicates that he is one of our
progressive farmers, in peaches and
grapes, as well as the cereals. When
the prematuring among the peaches
set in two or three weeks ago his
orchard was among those which seemed
likely to be badly affected, but a gen.
tleman who examined his trees a day
ago says Mr.. Lower has the best
orchard he has seen. In over 5000
trees well fruited, he did not see but
about 100 that were suffering from pre-
maturing. The same gentleman SAYS
he has more premature trees in his
orchard of about one third the size,
and 1t is accounted a good orchard. R.
n. Darrah in the Alley, is a man who
is not complaining To an orchard of
T3OO trees he does not find, he sBys,
