Rutland Missionary Association.

The annual meeting of the Rutland
Missionary Association was held on
Thursday at p. m, in the chapel of
the Congregational church. Rev. D. W.
Dayton opened the meeting by reading
a portion Of Scripture and Offering
prayer. He then proceeded to read the
Secretary's report, OF which the follow
ing is brief abstract. After congratu-
lating the Association on having be-
come corporate body, and on the pos.
session of mission house. it goes on
thus to recapitulate the steps, by which
it has attained these desirable objects.
A little more than a year since, sub
sCriptiOn was commenced for the pur-
pose Of obtaining the necessary funds
for the purchase of building suitable
for mission purposes, and q committee
appointed to select proper location.
An act Of incorporation was obtained
at the last session of the Legislature, and
at special meeting, called for the pur-
pose, was accepted by the unanimous
vote of the Association. Our efforts to
obtain money by subscription were rem
dered successful by the open handed
generosity with which our applications
were received we were also permitted
to sell refreshments on the Fourth OF
July by the town authorities, and assist
ed in holding remunerative picnic by
the liberality of the Rutland aud Bur.
lington railroad, and the kindness oil
hospitable friends. A Union service was
also held in the Congregational church,
and sermon preached, after which a
collection was taken up, from which we
realized handsome sum. From all
these sources our funds were so much
increased that the Board felt warranted
to make purchase, and the committee
made choice Of the property owned by
DR.. }. B. Porter, and the sale was effected
on the LIST of April. The necessary re-
pairs and alterations were at once com.
menced, and the school room was com.
pIeted, so that the closing exercises OF
the Saturday mission school were held
there. A Mission Sunday School was
opened about the middle of May with
encouraging prospects Of success. The
tract distribution has been prosecuted
with great viger, and from four hundred
tracts month it has increased to six
hundred. After some details and encour.

says that in some portions Of that State,
people who call for the services of clergy
men at funerals are accustomed to hand
them from one to five dollars. No doubt
this is sometimes done the country
through, but the cases we presume are
quite rare. The only wonder is that the
practice is not more common, especially
where the minister is put to the expense
of hiring horse and carriage, and where
those at whose call he goes are abund-
antly able to meet the outlay.

SINGULAR FREAK OF NATuRE.-Mr. A.
s. Hayward, Photographic artist. of
Chester, has sent US a branch firm one
of his crab apple trees, on which nature
las performed singular and woderful
freak. The tree from which it vas cut
dropped its blossoms some ten das ago,
and in their stead, as usual, hang ,umer-
Gus well-developed apples. And tough,
as we have said, no blossom whatever
has existed on the tree for the psf ten
days, strange to say, on Thursdaymorn-
ing last, Mr.. Hayward discovered a
fine specimen of the white TUE rose
opening its petals in fork of on,of the
branches thereof, and by yeterday
morning it had become full blow. The
flower was engrafted in the branh in a
much more skillful manner than could
be accomplished by human art, and is
but another illustration Of the myste-
rious ways of nature.

A Radical view OF n Political
Preacher.

We are glad to see that the House of
Representatives is still to enjoy the
invaluable services of Rev. Mr.. Boyton
as chaplain. 1t is that gentleman's ha-
bitual practice to thank the Almighty
pretty regularly for whatever may
have been done in Congress which
accords with his own views OF politica |
and party propriety, and in this way
the members ure properly posted as to
his opinion of thoir acts. AS the
chaplain has no other mode of making
political speeches in the House, not
being a member thereof, it is exceeding
" clover in him to have discovered so
excellent a dodge We observed that IN
Thursdays opening prayer, he offered
a resolution of thanks for the estab-
lishment of universal negro suffrage
