If not able to be present, please respond by letter or telegram. It is hoped that a large representation of the church will be in attendance to enjoy the fellowship of the occasion.

Though owing to the great desire of many to be present, the attendance had to be restricted to the members of the congregation and a few invited guests, the spacious parlors of the chapel were thronged with a numerous company. Nearly four hundred sat down to the bountiful tables at one time. The pictures of the church edifices first built in the wilderness, and the six successive changes in the place in which the church had worshiped, elicited intense interest on the part of the younger generation.

Owing to the taste and skill of the ladies in charge, the most ample and delightful accommodations were afforded to all participants.

When the large company was seated at the tables, Mr. P. W. Huntington, who presided at the banquet, arose and said:

"The pastor has assigned to me the pleasant duty of presiding here to-night. The occasion is one full of interest to us all, and if some of the memories of the hour are tinged with sadness, they are more tender and lasting on that account. It was customary among the founders of this church to invoke the Divine blessing on the bounties of the board. We will follow their example in that regard."

(Invocation by Rev. N. S. Smith.)

COLLATION.

"It was also customary among the founders of this church to return thanks, after each meat, for the provision made for their wants. In this, too, we will follow their example."

(Thanks returned by the pastor.)

Then the presiding officer proceeded with the intellectual feast of the evening in the order as arranged on the programme.

SKETCH OF AN OLD AND WORTHY CITIZEN.

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal:

It seems eminently proper that the death of such a man as Isaac Dalton, which occurred at Shreve, O., on the 18th inst., should be noted in the press of the community where for half a century his daily walk in life has been such as to inspire the highest trust and the profoundest respect in the minds of two generations of men.

Mr. Dalton was born in the village of Warner, New Hampshire, in the spring of the year 1801, and was, therefore, at the time of his death, seventy-nine years of age. He received, in his native village, the ordinary New England common school education, and emigrated to this city in 1831, where he at once became connected with the First Presbyterian Church,
