PINK PARTY. Ladies of the
Universalist Society will hold Pink
Party at the Town Hall, Friday eve,
July oath. The Committee invite all
attending the party to wear some article
of dress or ornament in Pink. For
further particulars see small bills.
We like to see proper credit given.
In paragraph in the last Landmark,
under the head, "Woodstock," credit
was given TO Mrs. Sarah M. Hutchin-
son for her interest in, and material
aid furnished Henry S. Hutchinson in
the last part of his life. We don't
know any such person as Mrs. Sarah
M. Hutchinson. If it meant Miss
Sarah Hutchinson, it is not true. 1t
was Mrs. Augusta Hatch Hutchinson
who had forded Henry over his waves
of trouble, and he never knew who his
benefactress was, but we did, and she
also caused to be erected the nice stone
to his memory, spoken Of in the Land
mark. All the credit should be hers.
