all in district No. of Addison. Eaaly
in the morning they began to assemble at
the school house, which was decked in
holiday attire with evergreens, autumn
leaves, flags and flowers. At II O'Clock a
flag d by II feet was unfurled and
heartily cheered by the veterans and
saluted by the scholars. 80 in number.
The national programme was fully
carried out and supplemented by appro-
pirate recitations and music by the
children, making an excellant pro-
gramme, which was finely rendered. A
bountifu dinner was also served and
partaken of by nearly l25 persons. The

raised the money for its purchase by
the sale of ten-cent certificates.

The Memorial Service at the NJ. L.
Church last Sunday was very interesting
and attracted larg- congregation. Ey-
erything was nice, and unusually SO be-
cause appropriate. The prophecies OF
the occasion were seemingly perfect, the
decoration of the Church was in excellent
and good taste, and the musical features
were greatly admired. Rev 6. o. Howe,
the pastor, preached from the text, " This

wounds occasioned by it, which it is our
care to heal; and as physicians tell us
that in order to heal physical wounds the
blood must be kept pure and the circula,
ton healthy, so must the currents OF pub
lie sentiment be kept pure. He then in
graphic language pointed out the diseased
currents in the political and social world
saving, among other things, that the ten

to make religion conform to the times i'll

The war is not yet over, said the preach
err, the enemies of society are still forming
even on the high table lands Of civiliza
ton, and it requires still the same brave
hearts to charge upon them. He named
no enemy. but his language was so framed
that one could see through the openings
their forms all the more plainly. The
sermon abounded in striking Smiles
which displayed good literary taste. AT
it's close the pastor read a poem OF his
own production, dedicated to the 6. A
r., and this was distributed i'll leafet
form to those attending the service. 1t
was the Lords Day, and such a quiet de
votion, and candid temperate discussion
of the subject pervadcd the discourse that
our people seldom spend more consist

last Sunday.
