 As there was not a quorum at the meeting of the Congregational society, the members adjourned to convene at the call of the chairman.
 Miss Cunning returned on Friday to New York. Misses Hill and Mason have returned to Boston. Mrs. Gard ner is improving.
 It was so like Miss Halls unfailing thOughtfulness to send her chauffeur, George Reynolds with the church car, of which MT. Bacheler has had the use during his pastOrate, to PrOvi- dence on Tuesday with Rev. MT. BacheIer and family. The whole community are enthusiastic in their thanks and appreciation.
 Mrs. Parazek, mother of William Parazek, is to commence hOusekeep- ing at her brother-in-law's house, and her two daughters, Barbara and Elsie, are to commence work in their uncle's button factory. During the short in terval since their arrival from BOhe- mia they have made wonderful pro- gress in learning the English.
 Inevitably Rev. MT. Bacheler, who is much liked, will be greAfiy missed as will Mrs. Bacheler and the chil- dren. AffectiOnate best wishes go with them to their new home and new field of work, that, although in another state, is not so very far away after all and we can look upon them as neighbors and be able, to report progress.
 For forty years at. least the Will lingtOn church has been noteworthy for loyalty and in attendance at Bible school and church services in any in terval when dependent upon supplies, and doubtless the present episode will be no exception. The Bible school membership contest is pro- gressing and there is room for all who will attend.
 The subject of MT. Bachelors ser mon on Sunday was "Peace," the text taken from the words of Jesus on three different occasions, the cumu lative thought being My Peace I leave with thee." Miss Mann presided at the organ. All missed Mrs. Ga hons beautiful voice and appropriate selections, and much sympathy was expressed that she is i'll again with tonsilitis.
 Charles Devoskey and Mrs. Devos- key are happy to be again at their pleasant home on the State-Toad, mid way between the Hill and West Will ington, after three months of travel through many of the western states, with protracted visits in Chicago and San Francisco, and visits to the Canal zone and Florida. They have brought ack many beautiful pictures and in- teresting reminders of the delightful experience.
 The entire trOup of Boy Scouts were present at their reception for Pastor Bacheler Saturday evening, coming from South Wilmington and from all localities in the town. They had-a fine supper, and presented MT. Bach eler with a ten dollar gold piece, Wilbert Wood making an appropriate and felicitOus speech, to which MT. Bacheler made appreciative response. Just here it is appropriate to say the Advocate and Guardian, New York, of February 18th, is Scout number and the 12 Scouts laws are printed on the front page. We can think of no more reliable cOmmendatiOn that the organization could have than that of a journal, so long and favOrably known. by it's works and object as. the friend of friendlesF boys and girls.
 As was mentioned in this column last week: immediately following the great snowfall selectman Ruby with his four-horse-team, sled, plough, and force of men with shOvels, broke the blockade of snow on the town highways to the different school houses. in order that the teachers could he transported, as usual, by automobile, and that the pupils could get from their homes to school. Of course to have the roads broken out was great accommodation to all blocked in peoples on these thorough fares and Dr. Converse personally thanked MT. Ruby for making it pos sible for him to reach his patients, ill his car. However, in proof of the old saying, it ds impossible to please everybody" a mail-carrier and few people, not quite conversant with our language or methods, perhaps, were disturbed that the roads were more passatle for. automobiles than for horses and vehicles and issued a written and signed petition of protest, or remOnstrance regarding the situa- tiOn, and week later sent it by County Commissioner Siswick of Staff ford to Mr. Ruby, who, IS the snow, or much of it is already melted, as inevitably it would be at this time of year, it can not be replaced upon the rOad-bed, even if under any conditions that were possible at this time, re- mains in doubt as to what course to pursue, to gain the appreciation of his
