Rev. j. G. Foster, of Beverley, Mass,
formerly pastor of the Baptist church of
this village, has been here on visit, and
preached last Sunday ut the Baptist vestry.
He looks hale and hearty and his numerous
friends were glad once more to see his face
and hear his voice. We understand he has
large and prosperous church in Beverley,
where he has been settled for nearly thir-
teen years.
We learn that the non-explosivc lamp,
which we advertise, is meeting with n
ready sale, and is fast winning its way to
favor. After fair trial we find the lamp
to be what is claimed for it. Those who
are looking for what they want in this line,
will do well TO examine it for themselves.
The recommendation of Chas. T. Jackson,
one of the most scientific men, and one of
the best chemists in the country, in addi-
ton to the recommendations of other emil
nent men, is sufficient to assure the public
of the worth and excellence of this lamp.
Rev DR.. Magoun, President of Iowa
College, located at Grinnoll, Iowa. has been
visiting this place for the purpose of raising
a fund Of $1,000 to establish n scholarship
for the child of some deceased missionary.
He has called on several of our wol-to-d
and benevolent citizens, and we understand
that his visit is likely to prove successful.
He preached at the Centre church last Sun
day forenoon on the connection between
the family, the church, and heaven. His

= "A Brattleboro correspondent of the
Waterman and Reflector writes to that pa
per as follows;
The interest in the Baptist church is on
the increase. Rev. III. G.. Dewitt, of Canaan
daigua, n. v, has been earnestly laboring
with this church for the past few weeks, and
his labors have been crowned with success.
For two Sabbaths we have repaired to the
baptismal waters. The church has received
many additions by baptism and experience,
and many more are rejoicing in new
found hope, while others are anxiously in
| quiring what they shall do to be saved
Bro. Dewitt seems eminently qualified for
| the work of an evangelist, and will long be
| remembered by the people of Brattleboro'
as faithful, earnest servant of Christ. And
| the blessingof many who have found Christ
through his fundamentally will follow him
|
return again to Vermont, and that many OF
our churches may enjoy the benefit of his
| labors.
