"A curions defect In the title to lot OF
ground In Milford, n. H., has recently been
discovered. The Congregational Society In
that town, having repaired their church and
raised their PASTORS salary, SET about providing
him with parsonage. Contributions of five
thousand dollars were made, and house
bought, the deed drawn up and the money

owner could not give q deed satisfactory TO the
committee OF the society. 1t appeared that In
the chain of title was q deed executed In Know

bidding the sale OF land 10 any foreigner, and

and not naturalized, and such one would be
precludcd from residing in the house in ques-

crty on such unreasonable terms.

seen events the Council is not held or

than eight months rent will still be paid for

surplus, rent will ba paid monthly. These 800

foreign missionary stations, will have their
