about twenty at Temple Heights last Sun
day morning on an excursion to Verona
Park on the trim little steamer NJ. & NJ, W .
d. Bennett, commander. The serenity of
the day, the calmness of the water combin-
ed with that peaceful stiffness that prevail
ed the atmos phere filled the soul of every
one with rapturous delight that made every
heart beat in unison with that grand sym
phony of nature which on that beautiful
Sabbath day lent an enchantment to the
scene that indeed was too charming to de-
scribe. The run was made close along the
western shore where every point of inter-
est was kindly described by the genial cap
tain. In due time we arrived at Verona
Park and the party dispersed in every di-
rection to inspect the grounds and to ram
BILE amid the groves. Space forbids an ex-
tensive description of the place so it will
suffice to say that it is very prettly located
on the eastern bank of the river in a lovely
grove. There are about twenty-three cot
tages upon the ridge facing the river, from
which the occupants have splendid view of
the water and of all that passes up and down.
The ground comprise about acres enclosed
by fence. During the series of meeting
which commenced last Sunday and will
continue two weeks, admission to the
grounds is free with the exception of
Sundays when a small fee of ten cents is
charged to help defray the expenses of the
society. At ten O'clock the morning SER
