shorten the distance of all water trans

Francisco by nearly twelve thousand
miles. and would contribute enormously
to the development of our transconti-

married Capt. Joseph Small, son of
Henry Small, also Soldier of the Revo-
luton, and one of the first settlers of
Limington. Her husband, Capt Small,
was one of the few men to whose energy,
courage and perseverance the Congrega-
tional society is indebted for the church.
which it at present occupies. At the
age of 81 she was left aswidow, with the
care of two small children, to whom she
was devoted and faithful, and although
nearly heart broken at the loss of her
husband she met the responsibility
bravely. Through her energy, frugality,
and industry she was enable to keep her
little ones with her and save to them the

established, and we are pleased to note
