stage was beautifully decorated in rain
bow effects. Tho gay and debonnire but
terflies made most pleasing picture,
both in their songs and In the drills. Tho
music was largely composed by MEM
bers of the literary society, and was
most creditable. The butterflies seek a
refuge from winters fatal blasts, and thn
scene changes to the ludicrous when 4
large family of mosquitoes appear, and.
in spite OF probosces long, sing as only
mosquitoes can, and offer the safety OF
their retreat.
This being politely declined. the bull
frog next takes the stage, and in deep
and heartfelt tones offers to share his
pond with the unfortunates.
The acting OF little Make Clark in this
scene is worthy OF special mention.
Little Moses by the pool would doubt
less have mistaken her for his time
honored playmate, had he only seen her
hopping upon the boards.
Finally, the butterflies find in fairy
land safe retreat. and in return for kind
hospitality, read to the fairy court the

they have built one of the finest edifices

him several years says that he was the
first convert made by DR.. j. T.. Diclsin-
son, of the First Church. Rochester. He
is only 50 years old, and is blessed with
q very pleasing personality. He Is an easy,
graceful and impressive speaker. His
morning sermon must have convinced
every nearer that he had determined to
know, in his preaching, only "Cnrist and
Him crucified." He read Matt. Ii, In
which are recorded several of Christ's
parallels, and his text was Verses "A and

a treasure hidden in the feda which n
man found and hd;sand In his Joy he go
