Some two weeks ago we spoke of the
rumor that Hon VIM. 5. Southworth was
to leave town in the spring. We regret to
say that such is the truth, and he will
move to COhOes. Mr.. Southworth has
been resident of this village for many
years, has occupied u high position at the
Bennington county bar and, for a number
of lpg hpnp Of l,o
ncnt and active members in the Congrega-
tional church in this village, having been
deacon since 1868; also, Il teacher and SUI
perintendent of the Sabbath school con-
nected with that church, was ever fore
most in every good work and is gentle
man whom all classes have delighted to
honor, The beat wishes of our citizens for
the prosperity of himself and family will
accompany them to their new home.
Meetings have been held in the Baptist,
Congregational and Methodist churches
every evening during the past week AL
though the weather the first four days was
very unfavorablc, the audiences which as
sembed every evening were large At the
Congregational church the exercises have
been unusually interesting, and much intc-
rest is being awakened. Services will be
continued in the chapel every evening the
present week.
The annual meeting of the Consrega-
tional society will be held Tuesday evening
at the close of the religious exercises.
The regular Sabbath school concert of
the Congregational Sabbath school held
last Sunday evening was very fully attend
ed. The principal feature of the evening
was the rendering by different scholars of
passages from the bible containing the
name Of some good man therein, and cX-
ercises by several of the different classes,
which with one or two exceptions, was
well done The school was addressed by
Superintendent +. G. White, in his usual
interesting manner, and his brief dcscrp-
ton OF Sabbath school concert which he
attended in Rutland two weeks ago was
very interesting. Mr.. 5 S Scott, q former
superintendent of the school, also addressed
to the school and was followed by Rev. ].
G llarwood of Missouri, native of this
town and once a scholar in the school, his
remarks being especially pleasing and in
structive, The concert taken in the whole
was one of the most interesting we have at
tended in this place. This school is now in
a ilourshng condition, and are now ex-
pending $3.50 for books with which to re-
plenish their library.
Meetings will be held by the Baptist and
Methodist churches every evening this
week. b.
