The entertainment at the M. E. Church last
evening was a very enjoyable affair and was
well patronized. A particularly pleasant fea

lamation of Master KYSKR, who did remark
ably well. The playing and singing was lis
tened to with great pleasure. At the conclu
sion of the concert ice cream and cake were
served. We judge the receipts must have
been rpiitc handsome. The young ladies who
projected and carried the programme, in the
interest of an invalid member of the Sunday
School, deserve great credit. Miss LiiißiK
WATTS, who was foremost in the good work,
