UNION.


 At the last town meeting a sum of money was appropriated to place a suitably inscribed stone on the site of the first church building in Union, which was raised Aug. IA, 174I, and stood about one hundred years. After this stone Is set up would it not be we'll to have a memorial or dediua- tory service? There are few people living who remember attending ser. vices in this ediflce, and 1t would add greatly to the interest of such a ser vice if they were present. or if not able to, if they would write letters of reminiscences And are there not some relics connected with the old church that could be exhibited?
