During his long service in New London
Mr.. .DnBois married 2, 400 parsons, record
considering tho very limited extent OF tho
change, probably without parallel In tho
church history of this country.
Tho autobiography which, at his death

Dokcy, has only been seen by a Gow Of
tho most intimate personal frienda of the
dead clergyman, and is kept from proiapo

Correspondence.

Editor of The Florida AgricultriSt:
We do not wish to shrink out of the
memories of our friends and the public
in general, so we will keep our vicinity
before your readers by an occasional
letter.
We had very pleasant picnic party
at Mr.. Hull's place = ''Lake Leila
Home "a few weeks ago. given by the
proprietoress and guests of Pine Castle.
A most enjoyable day we had in sailing,
fishing and lou6ging about on the yer,
andas and under the messy trees. The
party ''dedicatedr the Professors new
kitchen, as their elegant lunch was the
first meal eaten in the new building.
On the day following Mr.. Terry and
guests of the Grove House gave very
pleasant picnic on the broad verandas
, at the place of DR.. and Mrs. Jackson at
s'Minnevista." All regretted the absence
Of wind enough to take sail.
We delight in these parties and glad.
"ly entertain all company who honor US
with call. 4
By the way, IN a late issue OF the AG'
RIcULTURIsT our editor mentioned the
small settlements tributary to DeLand
saying 1--WE must SCOOP them in before
they get too large" Now, Mr.. Editor
we always considered our vicinity sub
urb of Del and, and we are very willing
to be 'scooped in.' We have at
fractions and advantages sufficient t.
make our lake and vicinity the suburb
of DeLand. It is the nearest lake tc
town tof any size) aud it lays at the ter
minus of New York avenue--if it Were
