Under the above title Rev. X. Allen Castle
man has issued a document, giving a review
of the work at Emmanuel church during the
past year, together with brief pastoral letter
to the members of the church.
1t also includes directory OF the church
and the Parish organizations. 1t appears that
there have been fourteen baptisms during the
year ard seven combinations, three additions
to the congregation having been made by
transfers by letter. SiA couples were united
In marriage during the year and ten funeral
ceremonies performed.
The closing article in the leaflets one of para
mount interest to all members of Emmanuel
church, and indeed all citizens OF Bel Air, be-
ing an historical sketch OF the church during
the year, i'll the form of diary. The efficient
rector has in this paper set an example which
could well be followed by the pastors OF other
churches, who, by placing themselves and
their congregations on record, would mater
tally aid the future historian of Hartford in one
OF the most difficult and perplexing branches
Of history.

The MId.HoIiday Smoker.

The Odd Fellows Hall on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue was crowded on last Thursday evening
by those who are devotees of the soothing
weed as we'll as the admirers of the luscious
and toothsome oyster. 1t was a decided i'm
proyement upon the enjoyable smoker of
1897, and was thoroughly appreciated by all
who were sufficiently fortunate to have their
names upon the list of guests.
A great amount Of credit is due to Messrs.
James NJ. Reynolds and d. Burnett Reckord,
who appeared to be the controlling genii of
the affair, and the success OF the entertain
ment was a fitting reward for their lsbors.
To States Attorney Preston, was assigned the
difficult role Of toast-master, and the mantle
could not have fallen upon worthier shoulders
The different responses were interlarded
with such apt remarks as made the entertain
ment continuous and marked success.
The first sentiment, sour Flag" was re.
sponded to by Justice George w. Richardson
| and its successors in regular order, with the

Hopkins; "The poor and needy, the down
trodden and oppressed" William L. Cooley
'Our Host" James NJ. Reynolds.

made by EX-sherif Robert l.. Morgan ant

Camp Mackenzie.

AUGUSTA, Ga. January Owe had anticipat-
cd lazy time during the holiday week with
all drills parades &c. suspended, but were
certainly mistaken in our calculations as it
was one of the busiest weeks we have had at
camp Mackenzie.
On Tuesday we had TIE brigade practice
II rch. which ] mentioned having received
orders for. i'll nv last letter.
We formed at 80 A NJ. and we're soon on
our way with the 35th Michigan and 10th Ohio
regiments following in the order named. The
morning was an ideal one and the band playing
Maryland my Maryland and other quick inspir-
ing airs ii was impossible for the boys not to
feel in the best of humor which they showed
by continuous rousiD2 cheers for some hours
after starting. We halted for IN hours at
sand Hill n small town about 8 miles from
Camp where We had dinner. We took a
different and much longer route on our return
march and the positions of the Regiments
were reversed, the 10th Ohio taking the lead
33th Michigan and LIST Maryland following.
The march was long and tiresome and the
scal city of inspiring airs and loud cheering
was noticEhle.
On Wednesday Co d had orders to report at
the brigade range for target practice. The
boys made 10 new records but with few eXcep-
tons the scores were Verc creditable. On
Thursday IL Orning we had division review
which seems to be the delight of the
AuQustaus as large crowd was present to see
the different regiments do their best 70 make
II fine appearance. Friday the usual drills
were had and on Saturday the monthly muster
and weekly inspection look place.
We had another fine dinner New Year day
and With our share of the canteen receipts we
hope 10 greatly improve our company mess.
Private L. II. c. Reed who is on detached
duty at brigade head quarters has been ap-
POINTED corporal and Private A. e. Conn,
Company cook.
The weather last week was beautiful, the
boys discarding their blouses and the fires
allowed to go out
All the boys are enjoying the best of health
but camp life is getting very monotonous and
III order to proceed to Cuba or return home
Il d be mustered out would be thankfully re-
ceired.
Tomorrow we have concentration march
That is the regiments take different route
terminating ut given point at a certain time
This is all the information have been able to
procure.
We are to be furnished in the near future
with krag iorgensen rifles.
