 During the past twelve years Mir Hunt has been an occasional contrlbu- tor to the NEWS His Florida letters, aud his "reminiscences of this part of New England were very interesting. The columns of the NEWS were always open for him to chat with his old friends. His last message to his old parishioners in the Housatonic valley was written Sept. 4th and was publish ed in the NEWS of Sept. 18th It rela- ted his experience on coming to New England and becoming pastor at Falls Village in the spring of 1865, thirty years ago. Among other things, he says in that letter: 'I soon found my self in harmony, might say in perfect rapport, with the people; and there sprang up in my heart the most ardent attachment to them all, consequently l remained with them and adjoining charges for many years, serving five adjoining charges, which, perhaps, no other minister of the New York Confer ence has ever done, Falls Village, Mil lerton, Sharon, North Canaan and Sheffield
 The foregoing quotation from MT Hunts last letter speaks volumes and reveals his true character. He was in harmony with his parishioners, and in fact was in harmony with other deuorni- nations. He believed in the Brother hood of Man, and the Fatherhood oi God In closing the above mentioned letter he said:
 "I may not write many more letters. Your reference to the Tariffville disas- ter which occurred seventeen years ago, reminds me that time flies. and while the infrmity which is upon me assures me that hold life by very uncertain tenure it gratifies a desire that I have long felt to express to my friends on the several charges the tenderness in which I hold them, also to your paper which has been my organ of expression for many years.
 The readers of the NEWS have lost a friend, especially those readers who were former parishoners or acquaint- ances of Mir Hunt. The day before MT Hunt died, his son John wrote to the editor of the NEws and described MI Hunts critical condition. This is the closing paragraph of the letter; "He prized you much as one of his old life- long friends, and requested to be kind ly remembered to you " Farewell, "Dominie Hunt {" The NEWS and its readers will miss the warm hearted let ters, but the memory of the noble man who wrote them is precious and unfad- ing The NEWS tenders its sympathy, and the sympathy of it's readers. to the bereaved family.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Thought only of the Lecture

Thought only of the Lecture. Editor of Ne1cs #. I am under the impression that the audience who sat in Town Hall. Mon- day evening, and listened to the admir- able paper on London, omitted very relevant courtesy, in not giving expres- sion at least by vote of thanks, to the speaker for her great effort to place be- fore us such graphic descriptions. and also to replenish the coffer of the Village Improvement Association.
 Perhaps many felt as I dld. so en. grossed in the lecture as to think of nothing else until the audience began to disperse. I therefore hope that in some way the speaker may know for a certainty of the high appreciation land I have the personal testimony of many of her effort to place before the people a mental view of the greatest metropolis.

CHAPlNvILLE.

Last November Mrs F. Miles offered prizes to the scholars who were the steadiest in attendance at Sunday school. also for the best learned verses. Lula Frank missed only three Sundays, Mary Judd four, Alton Frank, Lucy Judd, Louis P. Ashman, IT,, five each, Bessie Judd and Mir Spur six each. Three Sundays there was no school, ow- ing to scarlet fever. Celia and Amelia Steurwald, Charles and Annie Whitford, Lucy and Bessie Judd, Nellie and Der tha Finkle, Mary Cane and Louis Ash man recited the 18th chapter of 1st Corinthians and 18th and 14th verses of 58th chapter of Isaiah, which were ren- dered in perfect unison. Then each re- ceived fitting gift from the donor as her encouragement for the school and the we'll rendered part of the scholars. T L. Norton made some fitting remarks. congratulsting the school for their at- tendance, for their we'll learned verses and general prosperity. He expressed, however, the idea that we ought to have a paid missionary going from house to house, looking after our spirit. ual welfare, as what cost nothing B good for nothing. He doubtless had in view our generous benefactor, whose benevo- lence with the theology of Christ was too easy, yet sufficient passport.

Mrs W. B Meek, who resides ct Camptonville, Cal, says her daughter was for several years troubled at times with severe cramps in the stomach, and would be in such agony that it was neo- essary to call in physician. Having read about Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy she concluded to try it. She found that 1t always gave prompt relief. It was seldom necessary to give the second dose. ''It has not only saved us lots of worry and time'' she says, "but also doctor bills. It is my opinion that every family should have bottle of this remedy in the house."
