The first was a re- union of the Sunday-school teachers and pupils of the county, to whom he gave a sumptuous dinner; after which followed addresses and some business transactions of the association.

The second was the examination of the British School of the village, founded and supported, I believe, by himself.

At the conclusion of the exercises, which were exceedingly interesting, the whole company, young and old, adjourned to the lawn, where the visitors and elder people of the place were served with tea and coffee under the tent.
Then came "The Children's Hour." They were called in from their games and romping on the lawn, and formed into a circle fifty feet in diameter.

And here and now commenced an entertainment which would make a more interesting picture than the old Apsley House Dinner.

The good deacon of the county, with several assistants, entered this charmed circle of boys and girls, all with eyes dilated and eager with expectation, and overlooked by a circular wall of elder people radiant with the spirit of the moment.
