Mr. Hart on leaving his position in the Methodist church here for an- otherawith him, field of labor, bears we are assured on all hands, the un- qualified respect of all with whom he has been associated during his resi- deuce in Woodham, The members of the congregation being desirous to express this feeling in some tangible form, have presented the' reverend gentleman with an address, testifying their personal esteem in very warm. terms.. The address was accompanied by a very handsome gift in money, It may he said that a minister more wor- thy of these expressions of personal es- teem and approval has not at any time ministered among the Congregation here. He has been a most active and faithful 'worker in all his relations with the church, and markedly devot- ed in bis ministrations among the sick or less fortunate of the people, Mrs. Hart and family have also been very helpful to the cause, assisting in every good cause and theirservices will be much missed.

DEAR TEACHER,—We, your pupils and ex -pupils, have learned with deep regret of your intended departure from among us. We desire to here express our sorrow at being deprived of your services as well as to tender you the heartfelt gratitude of both parents and children for the faithful and efficient manner in which you have discharged your duties as teacher of our school. For the past two years you have been with us you have earnestly and faith- fully striven to promote the interests of the school, and the high estimation in which yon are held by not only the pupils but their parents as well, con- firms their high appreciation of your good work. By your kind and ami- able disposition you have endeared yourself to the hearts of all as well as by the able way you have imparted in- struction to us,—yes instruction which in after years we will not be ashamed of and if at any time the question may be asked, "who was your'teacher?" each one can proudly say "Our teach- er was a Mr. Hamilton." And now we ask you to accept this watch chain, not for its value, but as a slight me- mento of the days when yon were our faithful director. We wish you suc- cess in life at any work you are engag- ed in and hope that the Great Almigh- ty may bless and keep you in health and strength. Signed on behalf of S. S.
