It would occnpy too much time and space to thank all who have aided in this noble work, but the nutnagers must express their grateful obligations to the clergy of the village for their co-operation and hearty good-will, and ■bo to the editors of the two papers who have constantly published all their reports and notices free of expense. They also desire heartily to thank Messrs. Tallcot and Burrhns for the use of the rooms for several years. Since the commencement of this society three active and useful managers-- Mrs. NefT, Mrs. Weston and Mrs. Truesdell-- have entered into their rest. Their associates gratefully recall their labors and pleasant comixtnionship. . . While unfeignedly grateful to their Heavenly ^l^ther that war has ended and peace dwells again in the land, it is with

saddened hearts that the managers recall the thought that they will never again meet as a Soldiers' Aid Society. . . The great motive for labor, which united them and caused so close a bond, has passed away. The many pleiisaiit and painful associations are things of the past. . . United in our common ('hristian work, wo can never in after days forget the bond of union that kept us together during the four years of the war.
