Yesterday was quietly and appropriately
observed in Manchester as a day Of
thanks. The streets for the most part
were deserted, and after the early hours
OF the day all business was suspended as
il 1t were Sunday.
The day may perhaps, be said to have
begun with the service at the Meade
Memorial church. where the rector, Rev.
BENJAMIN Dennis, preached. This was
the only morning service held. The ladies
OF this church gave their annual Thanks
giving dinner on the iron block. The
sumptuous meal was partaken Of by right
many, and a right snug sum was realized
by IT for the church's current expenses.
The ladies of the Stockton-Street Baptist
church also gave a dinner and supper in
the Leader building, and were literally
patronized.
The autumn tea at Mrs. Lovell's resi-
dence. on Porter street last night, Tor
the benefit of Bainbridge-Street Baptist
church was well attended and was really
the social feature Of the evening in the
city. The programme. which has already
been printed i'm these columns was credit
ably rendered and much enjoyed.
A tacky party, given last night by Miss
Naude Clements, of Swansboro, was a
source of almost endless fun I'm that town
There was a large attendance Of young
people.
The close Of the day witnessed a splen-
did gathering and service at cambridge
Street Baptist church. where the Baptsts
of the city held exercises Of thanksgiving.
Rev. NJ. Ashby Jones. Of Leigh-Street
church in Richmond, preached, and all
90
present and took part in the exercises.
The singing of the combined choirs was
inspiring and very appropriate.
