AT Colbrook | had but a small meeting owing to
a defect in the notice and tho lack of interest
among that people. but those present desired that |
should come again, which | promised to do if pos

had been given for the previous evening and a small
audience had been disappointed at the ron,appear.

in the schools AID stores we gathered another small
audience at the Town Hall where by the light of the
sixteen cents worth of talluw candles purchased
at thestorc, we discoursed to them upon some of II e
immediate points Of the anti slavery movement,
and at the close took up a collection just sufficient
to pay for the candles. Mr.. Brown announcing

who should desire to take us in, we were kindly
taken in charge by Mr.. r. E. Beman, a Methodist

Ills house and gave us christian entertainment and

us to Kinsman five miles on our way in the most
comfortable manner, through n driving snow storm
