ton.
Nearly all the members were In attend
ance at the annual meeting of the New
Haven branch of the Connecticut Indian
Missionary association, which was held in
Center church chapel yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by Miss
Mary E. Ives, president of the branch.
The report of Mrs. Fifeld, corresponding
secretary, was read by Miss Ives, Mrs. FL
field being unable to be present. 1t
| showed the work of the association for the
year to have been very encouraging.
The object of the association is, as Is we'll
known, to civilize and educate the Indians
of the west and northwest. The mission
which was under the direct control of New
Haven branch was formerly at Fort Hall,
Idaho, but is now at Ross Forks, In the
same state.
The mission house, started some time
ago, had been completed, and that the
farmer appointed last spring had been of
great assistance to the natives in teaching
them and holding before them an ex-
ample. Miss Frost, the missionary who
resigned few months ago, has been per-
suaded to remain, and would continue her
excellent work in looking out for the
spiritual and educational wants of the
Indians. A large number of applications
had been received to the school which she
has charge of, and the Indian fathers seem
very DESTROYS that their children shall re-
ceive all the benefits she can confer. In
addition to the meetings that have beer
held for the cause during the year, large
box was sent last Christmas to the mission
filed with clothing, toys, pictures and
books sent in by friends.
The report also showed that the organiza
ton was in very fourishing condition, I

swelled the numbers during the past year
There are now on the rolls 1853 regular ant
So life members and IL patrons. ~-
