SUNNYsIDE.-Rev. Geo. Brown Gree Bap-
tisD and wife of West Sidney, were kindly
remembered by their friends recently, by
generous donation, which with other favors
and the prompt payment of his salary, he
most greatfully' acknowledges. Rev. Mr..
Tabor, of Norway, acknowledges donation
visit from his parishioners, which was highly
gratifying to both parties. Members of the
Universalist society at Mechanic Falls have
subscribed some $1,000, and are taking meas
ures to raise like amount among other
friends of Rev. Zenas Thompson, their late
pastor, with view of donating to him the
pleasant home now occupied as a parsonage.
They have been prompted to this upon the
close of his ministerial term with them,
through kindly feelings toward him, and
realizing that he should have quiet home to
enjoy the rest he must need after some half
a century's labor in the ministry. The friends
of Rev. S. ID. Brown, in Mason, met at the
house Of A. O. Paine, March Goth, for the
purpose of donation visit. A goody num-
Der came together and spent the afternoon
and evening in very pleasant social manner,
leaving some visible tokens of their esteem.
A large number of ladies and gentlemen,
Bangor, and other friends of Rev. S. l.. b.
Chase, (whose recent resignation of his pas
torate has been noted in these columns paid
him visit Tuesday evening, and presented
him with an elegant bound set of Zell's
Encyclopedia, with several other tasteful and
appropriate gifts to the value of over 500,
as a testimonial OF their respect and esteem
for their late pastor and friend.
