tions which were very ably rendered.
Among them worthy Of notice BY the
well-knowu "John" Of Buckneld. Bro.

which was heartily encorcd and he ~
sponded. The day which Was East
Hebron Grunge field day was pronoPnc-
ed q success. At % =. -. We listened
TO Q very interesting lecture by the
Hon. z. A. Gilbert ofGreene, which was
highly appreciated. This completed the
exerclscs, and the only murmur Ne were
able 10 hear Was oae Of regret that neld
day did not come oftener, and it MAS
unanimously decided that Brother and
Sister Berry's Was M placs 10 have

spared by Brother and Sister Berry, and
their efforts on this occasion viii long Be
