Twas nothing but cat, still we felt
very sad when we heard that the old
grey cat at the Congregational paIson-
age had been disposed of in the absence
OF the pastor and family, a few days
slnce-althOugh best his end should be
on account of his extreme age of IG
years-but the news brought us recol-
lectlOns at once both pleasant and sad.
as we thought but few would remember
the remarkable playful kitten that first
found pleasant hearth with the beloved
Mr.. and Mrs. John Bowers, long since
deceased, as the cat survived full two
thirds of the then active members of the
parish. After the death of Mr. Bowers,
MIR. Baldwin was installed pastor of the
church-which seemed to be in accord
with the then matured cat, as he at
once assumed his duties with them, but
to survive many years Mrs. Baldwin.
Years since Rev. j. p. Humphrey was
called to this field, and the then old eat
HC'hicu d more hAtu INSTITUTION IMAM
ever of the parsonage, and has through
these many years enjoyed the pleasant
and quiet home of Mr.. II. The cat sur
vived Deacon GriswOld tive years.
whose hospitality he took to just across
the way ut each interval from the re-
moval by death or dismissal of one pas
tor to the installing of his successor.
Altogether we think the history of this
g. quite remarkable.
