Barnum made an important be- | quest to the local church, and the trus- | tees will not get the money until next April. as the estate is now being di- vided. He claimed that if the church was swallowed up by the convention the Barnum heirs might object to glv- ing up the bequest and say that the Universalist church here no longer ex- isted. MT Staples carried his poin' and the matter was laid over for ont lyear.
 The committee on resolutions report ed on the death of several members
 and a number who were obliged to b.
 absent on account of old age. Ih'
