Among the many pleasant and enjoyable
entertainments given weekly, by the sew

the meetings that they have been com
PEELED, on account of the large audiences,
to abandon the League perlors, and hold
the meetings in the lecture room at the
First NJ. E. church. This success is due to
the fact that every member takes lively
personal Interest in the meetings. The

ed by Miss Fannie jackson was one of the
features of the evening. The debate upon
the question: THAT the annexation of
the Dominion OF Canada to the United
States is not desirable" was decided in the
affirm atiye. The musical numbers and
the recltations were excellent. The fol-
