The afternoon was spent in a very agreeable manner. Bishop Ritchie made appropriate re" marks, and gave much good instruction. Others spoke of their long acquaintance with Sister: Bickington, and of her integrity and good works, wishing her many happy returns of her natal day. She was then presented with many gifts as tokens of respect, to which she replied with a short but affeciingspeechr -fteringingTblehdTHioVvw pronounced by Bishop Ritchie, and air dispersed, leaving our beloved Sister Bickington to enjoy herself, hav- ' ing the satisfaction of knowing she was respected and beloved by all her acquaintances. Ihe Exponent is taken by a number ot our sisters, and is read with1inuclr interest; it is a noble paper and is full of choice reading, and some of the wise, learned heads that have so much to say about the down trodden women of Utah would do well to read our little paper.
