Sunday School entertainment.

--The teachers and scholars of Union Station Sunday School gave a very interesting entertainment at their church on Sunday last. At an early hour the church was crowded with the friends of the scholars and spectators, who were well repaid for the interest manifested in the school. The exercises commenced by singing a hymn, in which the scholars participated. This was followed by prayer by the Rev. Mr. Pettee; at the conclusion of which the opening address was delivered by one of the scholars, who did himself great credit by his manly rendition of what he had to say Following the address was a "war speech" by a scholar from Trinity, which was well received. Six or seven young ladies next sang the hymn "A Saviour Ever Near," very cleverly, the beauty of the music being very much enhanced by a melodeon accompaniment. After these came three other misses, who sang a pretty hymn. Next was an amusing dialogue by two little masters.--Following this was a speech; and then came a second dialogue by five little masters.--Seven misses, neatly attired, sang beautifully an appropriate hymn; at the conclusion of which was a dialogue by two masters, which was quite entertaining. The exercises concluded with a benediction by Rev. Mr. Christian, the pastor of the church, whose labors appear endless, and who seems never to weary in his efforts for the rising generation.
