A GENEROUS AND SPLENDID GIFT.
 Just before Rev A. H. Post con- his morning sermon here, last Sunday, he read paper purpOrting to be from the hands of Maj Walter and Dea Dayton Burnham, bequeathing to the New Preston Village Congrega tional society, the sum of $5OOO, to be used for pulpit supply. This makes fund, the income therefrom relieving the tension which would be felt other wise by all church goers towards sup porting the preaching of the Gospel here, especially since all connection has been severed with the New Pres ton Hill society. It is generous gift on the part of the Burnham Brothers, and may possibly lead to other be- quests from other members. At any rate, all feel now with much stronger assurance that the church services here will be more fully sustained and we hope all who have purchased sit tingS in years previous will continue the practice and bring their friends with them.
