plated. At present the first, sec

to adapt the same work to all the
grades at the same time, so arrange

room where all grades can be ac-
comodated with work suited to
their capacity,

dence of Mr.. Fonda, where they
were provided with japanese and
Chinese lanterns, and as they march

to wonder what was going on, and
on arriving at their destination the
crowd, headed by Joseph Bingham,
literally took possession of the place

with speeches, songs, refreshments
and a variety of amusements until
eleven o'clock, when all repaired to
their homes with many expressions
of good will for the departing mis-
sionary.
