severe. The other toasts responded to were

the guests congratulating the hosts upon its
thoroughly agreeable Entertainment, and
the society responding flatteringly upon the
merits OF those outsiders, who had broken
bread with it.

There is a meeting on every Monday even

By the rehearsal for the "National Pa
geant"last night, Battery B was transformed
for the nonce into the battle-ground where
the grand shaft OF Bunker Hill Monument,
in Charlestown, Mass, stands to tell the story
of the death of Warren. Lieutenant Brown
took the part OF Warren, representing him
just after he has fallen. Those representing
the British soldiers were Messrs. Blume,
KuntZ, Guckert, Walker, Demer, Studer
Bruce, Refs, Murray, c. Guckert Lloyd,
KENNEL, Covell and Meyer. The home
force is represented by Messrs. Golden,
Kirk Kirk, Little, starkey, Cow; Lydick, Anson,
Armour, Marks, Eichenlaub and Jones.
The British will wear the familiar red coat
and white knee brceches, wigs and three
cornered hats. The Colonists, blue coats
and buff breeches. This scene is not unlike
great painting concealed from view. The
quartette choir of the Church Of the Ascen-
sion. composed of Messrs. E. Fl. Dermitt,
M. Huntsiger, Mrs. John F. Wilcox, and Miss
Ella Semple will sing the song entitled "The
Sword OF Bunker Hlll.'' This is one Of the
prettiest tableaux.

While we are on the subject of the
library, it might be proper to add a sug-
geStlon that grows out of a talk with the
librarian. Miss Macrum. who has her own
opinion about the.library, and believes in it
a trife better than our neighbors, wishes
that people would give Christmas presents
to their friends in the form of q years sub
scription to the library. She says they will
never regret it. and she will never regret it,
Miss Macrum and the library have been
friends for some years, and Consequently
she speaks whereof she knows.
Every woman that loves her needle
and it is said, some of them love it SO well
they could wish their families were samplers
should visit the exhibition of Mrs. Mary
Rath Merrill, at the Monongahela House, to-
day and tomorrow. Mrs. Merrill comes from
Columbus, alternating between that city
and Gin cinnati in the interest of ner art: Tor
she does needlework SO fine and with such
versatility that it is raised to the dignity of
an art. Mrs. Merrills exhibition will con-
tinue on Wednesday, and possibly. if Pitts
burg treats her WE'LL she will remain while
longer. Mrs. William Fl. DAILY IS Mrs Mer-
rilrs friend. and mightbe called the patron
OF her venture here and it is said that some
sort o: a reception will be given Mrs. Mer-
rill before she leaves Pittsburg.
