Eldredge and two sons and Mr.. and Mrs.

took them safely in. In the excitement,

son, Loren, and, springing into water that

at the Congl church last Sunday evening,
at which our former townsman, Rev. Car

preached. His excellent sermon was
closely listened to. We note with pleasure
the growth of this comparatively young
minister, OF whom II can be said that he Is
mot prophet without honor in his own

Methodist preacher in Howell, the county
seat OF Livingston county, Michigan, a
place Of some three thousand inhabitants,
and distant, northwesterly, from Detroit,

The University club took its annual

this week, going Monday and returning
Wednesday. The party, with several
guests, included the following Rev. and
Mrs. Homer White, Mr.. and Mrs. Y. /.

f. Il. Prichard, Rev. +. G.. Rainey, Z. W.
Tewksbury, Miss G. Kate Howard, Miss
Sara Rhett OF Charlestown, ;. C., and
James Hutchinson. A number OF the
party made the journey by teams, DIS
lance of 40 miles. The Glen Falls House
on the western shore Of the lake, conduct
ed this year by two Cincinnati ladies, Mrs.
Greenan and daughter, served as head
quarters and proved to be a first-class
summer hostelry, with nothing
lacking for comfort or convenience.
A nice steam launch gave opportunity for
a six-mile ride around the lake, whose
surroundings are very beautiful and pic
turesque and whose shady shores are dot
ted with many cottages, all now open.
Lake Morey has become very popular as
summer resort in late years. Not far from
the hotel is a wild little glen with slen-
der thread OF falling water rushing down
from a considerable height-a neat little
bit Of scenery. The party entered into the
occasion with hearty zest. In the evening
games were played and fun flowed freely
The outing was as enjoyable as any that
the club has ever taken.
