Several members of the church, ladies and gentlemen, went round to the parsonage on the after¬ noon of their pastor’s arrival, and hav¬ ing put every thing about the premis¬ es in order and provided the pantry with a liberal supply of groceries, they prepared an excellent supper and re- maincd to “break bread with the tor and his family, and to otherwise impress them of their cordial welcome bv the church ami citizens generally. The evening was yerv pleasantly spent and Mr. Farrell was no doubt made to feel that his “lines are cast in pleas- ant places.” lie preached his first sermon here last Sunday aluwnoon, and while it was not his regular day to preach here and the services intend- vd more as a means of draw ing the people together for mutual acquaint. ance than as the occasion of a regular discourse, his hearers were very favor* ably impressed by his remarks.
