He also mentions the great loss the mission has sustained in the death of the earnest worker, Mrs J. r.. Walker.

 The Ladies' Aid society met at Miss Grace Pulford's on Wednesday, the oc- casion being the celebration of the 9Oth birthday of her mother, Mrs Maria Pull ford. A poem was read suitable for the occasion. Afterwards the society pre- sented her with silver tea cup and sau- cer, and a number of remembrances from other friends. A number of Revolution ary relics were shown. A ball received by her at the tune Danbury was burned and which was extracted by Dr Anthony Burritt 30 years after. The brass pipe received from the Indians in a treaty of peace in Canada in the French war by her grandfather, Col Benjamin Hinman. It is rare occurrence that person now living can remember a grandfather Lwho served in the French war and a father who served in the Revolutionary war. She is the youngest and last survivor of II children. May she long be spared with her memories of the past.
