The session excited a good deal
and there was much animated dfocussiott on the
various questions that were presented to the Con
vention. The ministers parted with much kind-
of feeling after the adjournment, which took
place on Tuesday, the 2!.-t. Religious services
were held every day during the session.
There was evidently a large amount of talent
both among the clergymen and laymen, and the
churches were crowded with attentive listeners,
especially on the Sabbath. The citizens of Mari
etta appeared greatly interested and seemed to
vie with each other in endeavoring lo make the
stay of the delegates pleasant and agreeable, by
tendering the hospitalities of their houses. There
was, to say the least, some reluctance at parting j
with those friends, notwithstanding the shortness
of time in which that friend-ship was formed.
The cause of .education was one of the
prominent objects of the Convention.
