Our neighbor and- friend, Harry Osrey, is in the mountains this week, and it's another week of Sunday: ! Miss Anna Harbin is in Seneca again, after an absence of several months. The services at the Presbyterian church last Sunday morning were unu sually interesting. Rev. Joseph Ben jamin occupied the pulpit, and while it required close attention to follow the speaker intelligently, still those who did were richly rewarded. Mr. Benjamin has been in the United States only nine months, and was wholly ignorant of the English lan guage when he arrived. This being r,o, makes his mastery of our miserable tongue marvellous. The attractive ness of the service was greatly en hanced by Mrs. James Lowery's sing ing. She sang the grand old song, "The Holy City," which so admirably her voice, and which never fails to please. Rev. Joseph Benjamin lectured in the Baptist church on Sunday night. The talk was full of interest, and Mr. Benjamin's "broken English" and or iginal expressions but added to the interest. Miss Crol 11 erndon's party, on last Tuesday evening, was a charming affair in honor of her bright young guests, Misses Mary Sullivan and Maude Hammond. The young society set were out in full numbers, and a delightful programme of entertainment was fur nished by the young hostess. Delicious cream and cake were served.

The latter has sacrificed everything (but their energies) in giving the visit ing girls a good time, and they have susceeded beyond our wildest fancies. There have been picnics, parties, (Bur prise and otherwise,) rides, walks, etcetera, with tennis sandwiching the whole. Meanwhile tho candy and cold drink man flourished as a green bay tree (not forgetting the Jewelry man). And it's honk, honk, honk!
