Miss Bchuyler was offered a position much more agreeable with a bétter salary, but it was declined, because she concluded that she owed her services to the di- rectors of Ferguson township, who gave her a schoul when she wished it.

The Thanksgiving service was not attended by as many as might easily have done so. The school children made up the greater portion of the au- dience.
