Aged people in full vigor of manhood
are not seen in the usual walks of life. as
is our fn'end, and more than friend. Mr.
George Hoyt. who on Sunday last celebra-
ted his seventy-fifth birthday. Three
quarters of a century! How many of us
will reach that age? Very few. if we do
as much work as Mr. Hoyt has done. His
has been a busy life—one that has had
more than usual labor. For years he looked
after the spiritual interests of a Methodist
class of large numbers and scattered over
wide territory. He has always been an
active christian worker, and God in return
has made his ripening years glad with an
abundant harvest. He is now in full sym-
pathy and support of the temperance
work. and when the association turned
out in procession on Memorial day he took
the head of the line and marched as erect
as a youth and with marshal trend, from
where the line was formed to the Union
cemetery. where he was prevailed upon to
take a carriage. May he be spared in good
hefltli to complete a full century.

Children’s Day.
The Methodist church was filled Sunday
evening. the attraction being Children‘s
Day exercises. The altar and pulpit were
very prettily decorated with flowers, and
across the front of the organ gallery was
extended in gilt letters, surrounded with
evergreens and rose buds. the title of the
exercise, “ Buds and Blossoms." The reg-
ular choir was increased by about a dozen
of the mm from the Sunday school. 8.
S. Batch presided at the organ. The
whole exercise proceeded very smoothly
and creditably, the participants all having
their parts well committed. and where all
did so well we cannot particularize but

ence of sobriety and respectability from
intcmpcrance and degradation.
The Ladies Christion Temperance Union
meeting Sunday afternoon was also largely
attended. notwithstanding the threaten-
ing shower. Mrs. Bouton presided and
several fervent prayers and earnest ad-
dresses wero made. The singing at all
those inectingslis very fine and inspiring.
Mr. Jerome Smith has been suffering from
malaria for several days. and his solos are
missed, but it is expected that he will be
able to be present hereafter.

In this District two of the committee

Sprluawood s‘. 8. Anniversary.
The eleventh anniversary of the Spring-
wuod Union Sunday school was celebra-
ted on Sunday last at half-past. three. by
interesting and appropriate exercises. The
heat did not prevent. ii largo attendance.
The chapnl was nicely decorated with
tlowcrs and iuottos. Aii arch contain-
ing the colors of the rainbow spanned the
desk. on which was the motto. .. Our Fa-
ther‘s t‘arc.“ From the centre of the arch
suspended an anchor of flowers and the
words “ it years.“ Back of the arch was
the text. “ Teach mo thy way. 0. Lord.“
Numerous boquots occupied tho desk
and stands. The excl-Giles were opened
with singing by the school. followed by
prayer by Superintendent Lawrence. The
other exercises were reoitatiens and sing-
iiig. of the latter the song of welcome to
pastors by eight misses of the four chur-
chcs was very fine. and that of tho Mas-
ters Soaries good. The others all did well.
The superintendent made a brief stato-
nient showing that the school wan in a
good condition after which short address-
es were made by Revs. J. V. Saunders and
H. N. Dunning. Following is the Super-
intendcnt‘s report:

"It Flat-hers National Conven-
llon.
Mr. Mime—The following is a brief
synopsis of the proceedings of the Hat
Finisherl' National Convention. held in
the city of Orange, N. J., commencing
Monday, J one 7th, and ending Friday.
June 11th. 1880. The convention was
called border at 11 o’clock, a. m., by the
National Pro-idem. Mr. E. 1). Cornell of

annotations. and urging upon all the ne-
eenllty of combined action upon the quee-
tioaobeavidmov-t that our wot-kin
this direction had only begun. The Na-
tional Secretary. Mr. Tierney, nude his
report, as also the National Treasurer. Mr.
McCleary. The reports were received. af-
ter which the convention. through the
president, appointed a committee of one
from each local district, on credentials.
The committee reported 11 districts repre-
sented. as follows: Boston. 1; Plainfield,
l: Danbury. 4; Norwalk. 8; Phlhdelpbll.
8; Orange, 7: Bethehf; Newark,0: Brook.

35: and that in each case the credentialem _
were found correct. The roll being chili-d
the committee went into election of of!!-
ecrs for the next four years. each oflloer
being elected by ballot. Richard Dow-
dell of Newark, was elected President:
Wm. Barnum of Bethel, Vice-President:
John Philips of Brooklyn,|Secretary: and‘
Samuel Dugan of Orange, Treasurer. The 1
Board of Directors were then chosen by
ballot, which consists of seven, and taken
from the trade at large. Ed. Kelley of
Norwalk. was elected as a member of the
board. By the unanimous vote of the
convention. Mr. Cornell received {150 as
an acknowledgement, on the part of the
convention, for past services. (This in not
a paid office.) And .25 nch to Mr. Tie!"
may and Mr. McCleary to pay their expen-
ses in coming to the convention. The
convention then went into committee of
the whole on constitution and try-laws,
and quite a number of changes were made,
a few of which I will mention hereafter.
On the afternoon of Monday the Orange
Association, through their committee, or
tended to the convention an invitation to
take a drive through and around the city,
which wasjaccepted on the part of the
delegates. Three largo carryalls were
furnished. Several stops were made dur-
ing the ride for refreshments, and some of
the aldermon of Orange were called upon,
who. by the way, are also batters. The
circuit of the city was made in about
three hours. All were delighted with the
beautiful scenery around this most pic-
turesque portion of New Jersey.
On Tuesday the convention passed a
resolution thanking Hon. Lyman D.
Brewster of Daubury. for the able man-
ner in which he carried through both
houses of the legislature the bill on con-
vict labor. A standing vote of thanks
was tendered to the retiring officers. in-
dividually.
On Wednesday evening the Orange AI-
aociation. through their chairman. Mr.
Skidmore. extended an invitation to the
convention to partake of a banquet, to be
given in their honor. at Library Hall.
which was accepted with thanks. and at 8
p. m. the delegates formed in line. headed
by a band of music. and many invited
guests. such as aldermenmditorii of papers.
delegates to the Cincinnati Convention.
etc., marched to the liall.where they were
met by the reception committee. The ta-
bles were laden with all the delicacies of
the season—in fact everything that could
tempt the appetite was there. and the
sparkling champagne was not stinted. a
fact that was attested to on the following
day by one or two of my friends. who
complained of headache. but I told them
it was sham pain. Many speeches were
made. songs were sung. and toasts were
drunk. until the small hours of the morn-
ing reminded them that rest was neces-
sary to labors of the coming: day. Mr.
Jos. Atohison of the Newark E‘wni‘ug
Journal. delivered an eloquent addrwis on
the convict labor question. showing the
necessity of enlisting the press in our fa-
vor. as also the need of harmonious ac»
tion among the working clues. and the
propriety of voting for those only who
will give us our rights when in otlicc. Mr.
Franklin of the Hatter and Warbler. also
addressed the assemblage at some length.
Messrs. Dowdell. Tammany and others
made hrief stwchcs. eliciting the ap-
plause of all present. The Huffm- mid
(.‘loflu‘er. which will be issued on the 90th
last.. will given full account of the pro.
oecalinga of the convention.
On Thursday the question was raised as
to right of shops entering into agreements
with the. employers. and it was finally sot-
tlod. that any shop entering into an
agreement with the consent of the local
assimilation, said agreement could not be
broken by either tho shop‘s crew or the
local trade until the time fixed shall have
expired. The question of a general con-
solidation was introduced and discussed
at great length. but was lost by a decided
majority vote. The apprentice law was
amended. and a law was passed in refer-
ence to boys serving their time in foul
shops: also some changes were made in
regard to men wishing to learn hat curl-
ing.
A great number of new resolutions were
passed. which, in the main will be a bone-
fit to the Connecticut districts, while. at
the same time.none of our existing usages
have been interfered with. showing that
laws have been carried out as near'thb let-
ter of the national law as could be ex-
peotecl. The convention passed a. series of
resolutions on the death of John Farley, a
member of the Board of Directors, and or-
dered the National President and Secre-
tary to have a copy engrossed and sent to
the family of deceased, at a cost not to ex-
ceed $50.
The convention returned thanks to the
representatives of the press, to the Orange
Association, and to Mr. Dowdell for the
able and impartial manner in which he
oonduced the convention. The best of
good feeling prevailed from the com-
mencement to the close. that spirit of de-
mocracy which teaches minorities to sub-
mit to the majoritydaeing evinced in every
instance, and I can say for myself that the
greatest latitude was given to all to pre-
sent their views on each question. and
that the spirit of all seemed to be to legis-
late for the trade at large, rather than for
any one locality. The convention having
been in session five days and having ac-
complished their labors. adjourned at 7
o‘clock p. in. Friday, 11th hint" to meet in
Danbury on the second Monday in May,
