City. Penn. "Mrs. Eliza Taylor
Smith, 88, widow of the late Joel
Smith of Leominster, Mass. died there
Sept. 10Th, from injuries received by
falling down stairs Aug. 9th. It is
singular that three from the family of
the four children of the late Dea. Asa

of falls. Sanford, the remaining
child, still lives with his daughter in

We clip the following from Hart
ford paper about a former supply at
the Congregational church and the one
at Storrs: "Rev. Henry Davies, an
instructor in Yale university, who I'M
til recently has been pastor of the
Congregational church in WestHaven,
was to be ordained as a deacon of the
Protestant Episcopal church at Trinity
church in this city yesterday, but the
ordination was indefinitely postponed,
as Davies failed to appear. Bishop G.
B. Brewster, Rev. E. def. Mel, rector
of Trinity church, and Rev. George
7. Linsley, rector of the church of the
Good Shepherd, were present, as was
Rev. James Goodwin, rector of Christ
church, who was to deliver the ser
mon. After a wait of about half
an hour the bishop dismissed the
people. Mr.. Davies had written to
Bishop Brewster that he expected to
come to his house Tuesday evening,
and what prevented his coming is not

postponed until some future time, after
Mr.. Davies has been SEEM
Charming weather and wide and
good hospitality greeted the seventy
ninth annual meeting of the Ashford
Baptist association at the local church
last week. The meetings themselves
were marked by great enthusiasm and
spiritual power, it is said, and the
ministers. and delegates went home
with a high resolve to work for the
evangelizing of the people as never
before. Indeed, one ministerial dele
gate said in our hearing that he had
attended many associational gather
ings, large and small, in New Eng
land, but had never attended so good
a one as this. The program, which
had been given at large in The Press,

changes George Sheppard of
Stafford in place of Rev. Mr.. Braman
of Brooklyn, and vica-versa, in the
matter of devotional meetings, Rev.
DIR. Witter of Boston in place of Mrs.

Putnam in place of DR.. Pogson of N.
Y. city. The church was crowded
Tuesday, and Wilmington maintained
its old time name and reputation as to
hospitality, all being willing heart
ed and "willing'' handed. There
were volunteer helpers from the Con-
.gregational church, whose good offices
and offerings were greatly appreciated.
Altogether the occasion was one of
marked interest, and everybody said
they had had good time.
