The principal event of the past week
was the county Sunday school conven
ton, which met here on Wednesday

for the kind of day however, and the
sessions were all interesting and help
full. Many good things were said by
DR. Durfee of Burlington, Miss Balch
and others and the three principal ad-
dresses were given by Rev. Paul
Johnsbury in the afternoon, and Rev.
Mr.. Edwards of Newport in the evening.
