Kingsteignton: The Independent School Treat was held on Thursday. The six-score children were conducted to Were Barton, the residence of Mr. Pinsont who is a well-known friend to the cause: After recreation followed a good tea from the hands of those who cared no only for their temporal but spiritual welfare. Visitors who had come from the towns and villages around next took care of themselves. Tea being over, all retired with the little ones and enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ consent. A new game was introduced, which was especially interesting to the ladies. Mr. Rowe, the pastor, devoted the greater part of the time in distributing fancy goods which highly pleased the little folks. The sports terminated at a reasonable hour. Great praise is due to the ladies for the very efficient manner in which they prepared and carried out the entertainment.
