The Friends First-day School Union

gramme consisted of readings and recita-
lions, paper from the Rancocas school,
by Alexander Thompson, "How love and
unity shall be maintained in the meeting
and First-day school, and the discussion
of the question, I'm what way may
Friends exert the most influence for good
on those around them ?" by DR.. Laura
Satterthwaite, Benjamin Lamb and others
The hour for gathering was changed from
10 to $780, and the place of the next
meeting, in March, from Trenton to Cross
wicks.
The storm on Saturday was very severe
and the streams are much swollen. The
upper Delaware is flooded beyond the rec
ord of forty years. The entire southern
section of Trenton is inundated and 1t is
thought loss of million dollars will
| follow. All traffic between Trenton and
Bordentown, over the Pennsylvania Rail
road, has been stopped because the tracks
have been submerged between the cities
| Passengers from southern points are car
ried as far as Bordentown and transferred
to trolley lines. 1t is feared that there
may be great trouble at Bordentown, be-
cause at this point Crosswicks creek en-
tiers the Delaware and both streams be-
ing overlooked, may carry away the rail-
road bridge and, possibly, the station
close bv. The officials of the road may
decide on having heavily laden trains
stand on the brid ge to hold it down.
