On Tuesday evening, March 3D., a
donation visit was given to Rev. A. G.
Stevens, pastor Of the Methodist church
in Brattleboro. A silver tea set was pre-
scented as a surprise. The presentation
speech was made by Rev. Addison Brown,
Unitarian. The proceeds, in addition to
the silver tea set, was about sell. One
noticeable feature of the occasion, was
that Rev. James Eastwood, pastor of the
Universalist church, Rev. Mr.. Clark, OF
the Baptist church of Keene, n. H., and
Rev. II. H. Peabody, pastor of the Baptist
church, were present and addressed the
people. The fraternity of christian spirit
manifested on this occasion and also in
the installation of the pastor of the Bap-
fist church, are in striking contrast with
the spirit manifested by the several denom-
nations of protesting christians toward
each other, in many other towns in Ver-
mont. In Brattleboro, "the brethren
dwell together in unity"
