OBITUARY. Stowe, one of
our oldest citizens, died at his resi-
dence in the west part of the town, on
the night of the 9Th, in his Goth year.
He was one of a family of ten child
rem. His father, Solomon Stowe,
moved from Newport, n. H., in his
early life, to this town, when it
had but few settlers. He built log
house on what is known by the older
inhabitants rs the Stowe farm, and
now called the Bingham farm. The
father was one of the pioneers of the
town; firm, industrious and reliable
man. His children were Alanson, Jo-
nah, Betsey, Rhoda, Prudence, Han
nah, Anna, Solomon, Haven 2. and
Lydia. We understand all are dead
except Haven P, who now resides in
town, and is one of our substantial
men. The subject of this sketch was
born in MorristOwn, and in the log
hut before mentioned. His mother
was sister of Wingate Webster, who
was also an early settler and long a
resident, living where Capt Rand now
lives. Mr.. Stowe married in early
life Miss Ursula Hadley, then of Hyde
Park, and a sister of our neighbor
Lucius Hadley, and soon located in
the west part of the town, where he
has ever since lived. He at once entered
into the work of life, and
became one of our best citizens. He

WOLCOTT.

Fellowship meeting at WOlcott, Mar.
8, was attended by a good delegation
from Cambridge, Johnson, MOrrisville
and WolcOtt. The opening sermon was
upon the theme, Christ the Life and
Light of the World" He IS the source of
bodily life. Mental activities are ener-
gised by Him; so are all the kindly hui
man sympathies. And of the spirit life.
hope, faith and love that is pure,-all
flow from him. The praise is, therefore,
due him for these. The topic 1.-The Work
which Jesus has for his Workers to do
was opened by saying that it is difficult
for us to divest our minds of the con-
ventionalisms and Professionalism of re-
ligiOn. But Christian work needs to be
understood more than it is as Il spirit and
life to permeate all the on-goings of every
day affairs. Shaping and building up
character after the spirit and model of
Christ, representing the mind of God in
our lives, not consciously, but living so
much upon Gods word and in commun-
ion with Him that it can but be seen we
are his children. The qualifications for
this work are, Il mind for it, love for souls,
patience, and perseverance. There is
work for all. And the true nobility of a
human being is in doing that work. The
departments of work are many. Turning
people from temptation. and striving to
rescue those fallen by intemperance and
all other sins, is part of the work. The
meeting was good and profitable one.
