of the manifestly inadequate price, the lat

defendants prior offer and several thou

Memorial Services.

The memorial service to the late Dr. NJ
E. Strictly, secretary of the A M. A., v as
held yesterday afternoon at the Peoples
Congregational Church. The Rev. Garner
presided and announced as products of Dr.
Strieby's efforts Revs. Miller, DAILY, Brown
and Prof. Hershaw.
Rev. Miller said that Congregationalists
engaged in negro education since the war
can never fully appreciate the magnificent
services rendered by their late secretary to
the cause of pure Christianity in America.
and the race can never fully appreciate the
many sacrifices that he willingly and glad
ly made during ffty-four years of labor for
intellectual and spirited freedom.
. The benediction was offered by Rev. Kir-
by of the Fifth Congregational Church.
