The FOREIGN Mission SOCIETY Of Litch-
field County held its annual meeting in this
village ON Wednesday last. The day was
pleasant, and the number of friends to the
missionary enterprise, who were present, was
greater than similar occasions have for several
previous years collected. The Sermon, by
Rev. Ralph Emerson, from these words, g Be
ye not Of a doubtful mind," was apparently
heard with great pleasure by the audience.
His arguments in favor of the mission cause
were fOrcible, and the style of his discourse
highly classical. Every candid person who
heard it must have yiededa cheerful assent to
the truths which he delivered, and entertained
a strong conviction of the dignity and mpor-
lance of the cause which he advocated. Mr..
Newton, whom we mentioned in Our last as
expected to be present as delegate from the
American Board, was, from some cause, pre-
vented from attending. Rev. Mr.. Cowles, an
agent from the Board was present, l. address
sed the meeting. He dwelt principally upon
the darkness and degradation of heathenism,
and the advances which the light of Christian
ity has made in expeiling this darkness. The
exercises throughout were highly interesting,
and must have tended to render the annual an
niversary Of this interesting society day dear
to every Christian heart.

officers of the Society for the present year, viz
Hon. JOHN CoTToN SMITH, President

We have obtained from the Treasurer the
following list of Collections. Several towns
which have heretofore given literally have not
made their annual returns. 1t is calculated
that not less than $4,000 will this year be
added to the Treasury of the parent Society
by this auxiliary. This sum is large compa
red with what other similar sections Of coun-
-ry give, yet small compared with our ability
to give.
