NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT. Among the
various Christian sccts of u land
which refine our morals. and elevate us
spiritually, are the Congregationalists,
and that denomination in this city is by
no means sbabbily represented. In fact,
their handsome and c~ommodious sane
tuary, deliberately furnishcdwith all the
modern conveniences, their ilourishing
Sunday.school and effective sermons,
their choir of talented singers, their gen
erous and kind hearted dcvout Christian
people have made the church prominent,
and it is now n OF the most popular
and useful in this community. Hence.
when the ladies Of that church

Of our city, and like all convivial occa-
sions under their auspices the "Fete Of
days" entertainment Friday night was
eminently successful in every detail. The
fair" part Of the program was certainly
novel, AS the projectors introduced many
innovations in the way OF varied lists of
articles for sale, some grotesque in con
struction, but all useful and ornamental,
and designed for beautiful holiday pres,

We are wholly unable to do it tho Justice
we did on that night. The tables were
~methodically arranged and decorated
with lovely flowers by the ladies', accord
ing to their aesthetic tastes, and the
bright faced mattresses dispensed the
many eatables 80 essential to the inner
man in u most courteous and creditable
manner. True hospitality was shown
all present. and that the occasion was a
success, socially and financially, there is
no doubt. just as many times as the
ladies attempt Il doings OF this kind,
they may rest assured Of a very muniti-
cent patronage.
