Mr.. Field not only teaches an ex-
ceilent school, which is highly appre-
ciated, but kindly and very accepta-
bly, supplies the pulpit of the Con-
gregational Church at this place and
also conducts the Sabbath School,
which he organized, in a like manner.
He delivered a pleasant, interesting
discourse last Sunday, which was
much liked by those who had the
pleasure of hearing it. At the close
of the services Mr.. Taylor of Brook
line, Mass, kindly presented Mr.
Field with So, as a token of appre.
citation and good will. Mr.. Field is
a student of the celebrated Moody
school at Mortified, is studying fol
the ministry and intends to enter
Yale College soon. May success at
tend him.
"a Friend in Need, is a Friend
Indeed" The above old adage
which is good and true, must hav,
been fully realized Jan. l6, by A. c
Sloan and wife, who live on the but
ton place, so called. Mr.. Sloan has
for long time been SO badly crippled
with rheumatism that he could no
get about at all, which must be ver'
bard for him and his wife, as the
are both elderly people. On the a
bove mentioned date twelve men, par
of the number from this place, tn
others, nearer neighbors of Mr.. Sloal
/ assembled at his home with teams
) axes and saws, went into the. wood
and cut and hauled a goodly pile 0
| wood to his door. They also worke,
r up andsput into the sled all they ha
| time for. We have many times ha
occasion to mention the kindness O
people in this vicinity towards eac
other in time of need, and certainl
the above is another instance of kind
= ness and good will.
