by the young ladies of st. Mary's
Society, was delightful affair." a
great success financially as well as
socially. Supper was served to over
three hundred persons. Articles of
needle work were offered for sale and

for the occasion. The ladies of St.

entertainers, and all those whose good
fortune it was to be present voted the
event an immense success. AS the
financial result of the entertainment,
the young ladies of the society cleared
$255.3O, after paying all expenses, and
we understand that it is their inten-

and bazaar, to be given sometime in
November.
Four services were held in Trinity
church on Easter Sunday: holy COM

at 1870; Knights Templar service at
2:30; children's service at 6:3O Each
service was largely attended ald deep
interest manifested. The music was
exceptionally fine. The Knights Tenn
plar service was conducted by the rec
tor, Rev. M. Chase, in accordance
with the beautiful responsive ritual of
the order, arranged from the Book of
Common Prayer. It was a solemn
and hearty service, and the sermon
was very able and comprehensive
one, and breathed the spirit of true
Christianity. The service in the even
ing, for the children, was a most joy
GUS one.

The social and apron bazaar held in
the 7. M. lecture hall was a most
splendid success in every way. A
grand crowd assembled, who bought
up every thing in the eating and wear
