LlTCHFlELD, OCT'R 90, 1888.
The ANNTvERsAKIEs.-Las week, on Tuesday and
Wednesday, the anniversaries ofthe Litchfeld C0un-
ty Tract Society, the Education Society, the Home
Mission Society, and the Foreign Mission Society,
were held in this village. Coming, rs they do, to-
gether, and at such time in the week as we cannot
spare to attend all Of them, obliged to depend
upon the Secretaries of the different associations for
an account of the proceedings Thus far,swe have
not this year been favored with aaccount of any of
them except that of the Education Society. These
meetings, sorry to say, with the exception OF
the Foreign Mission Sociesy, are attended by very
few persons from abroad but the officers, and by only
few from this village and town. We should think
too that since the change has been made in the time
ofhoding the anniversaries from winter to the autumn
none of them are SO fully attended as formerly.
e DO It has heen suggested, that change Of the
time and place Of holding all these anniversaries, ex
cept the Foreign Mission, should be made before an
other year comes round. -.' 81" s''-'.
