The children of Mr.. Moses H. Varney,
who died in this town several years
since, had a family gathering here some
two weeks ago. They are scattered to
the ''four winds '-one in the West
one in observation-disclosures in Maine and
others here. Three of the Varney boys
went into the army in the rebellion. One
died, another came very near dying in
Southern prisons and the other returned
safely. MIR. NJ. F. Varney is now teach
ing in the West. May they live to have
many family gatherings yet

HITOHCoCk's ANALYSIS OF THE BIBLE.
-Having examined carefully, Hitch
cocks Analysis of the Bible, we feel
justified in saying that it is the best
work on that special subject that we
have ever seen. The systematic ar
rangement and classification of the prom

bible into general divisions called books.
and these again into chapters and sec-
tions and sub-sections, compacting and
bringing together in this form all the
bible says upon each and every special
subject, is a most wonderfully compre-
hensive yet minute and particular work,
evincing on the part of DIR. Hitchcock a
vast amount of patient labor, as we'll as
scholarly ability. To all readers and
students of the bible, and especially
christian parents, sabbath school teach
ers and scholars, the Analysis is of in
estimable value.
