 The Fourth passed away without any special enthusiasm on the part of our citizens.

At the communion service, CongI church Sunday last, three young ladies were taken into membership, and an infant was baptized. The evening service was made especially interesting by the presence of a native Hindoo and his wife, both recently arrived from India. The gentleman is now in the Theological seminary at New Haven, and the lady is studying medi- cine. They are preparing to return to their own country as missionaries. Both were dressed in native costume. They are pleasing and very interesting speakers. They exhibited some of the idols, sang Hindoo hymns, told of the habits and customs of the people, of their idol worship; and need of mission work there.
