A Memorial to the Rev. Elisha Whit
 tlesey.
 The glass in one of the windows of Christ Church has been broken. The damage is almost beyond repair on &C., count of the difficulty of matching the old glass. It has therefore been pro- posed to place in the church new win dow and make 1t memorial of the Rev Elisha Whittlesey. Such memorial seems particularly appropriate. MI Whit tlesey was the rector of the parish from 1871 to 1877 and afterv ards resid- ed in Canaan until his death which oc- cured in February last. He had a great many friends in this community by whom he was highly esteemed for his eminently useful and godly life both as a citizen and in the exercise of his ministry. It may be that some of his friends in town would esteem it privi' slege to join with us in erecting mem orial to preserve the memory of hi gsod name. If any who read this mo- tice desire to have share in the win dow their gifts will be very welcome Word to that effect should be sent al nee to Mir Wm. H. Camp, Treas; or to the undersigned.
