Cabot, Nov. 5.

I have spent two Sabbaths at Cabot recently. The interest among the friends is good. They have had some excellent meetings when no minister was with them. I have seldom, if ever, known any to take more pains to get out to evening prayer-meetings than some have here. Besides the Sabbath meetings, prayer-meetings are held both at Cabot and Marshfield, each week.

South Danby.

Since my last report, I have held five meetings at South Danby. I have also held meetings four miles north of Weston one week. At each place much prejudice has been removed. Some are reading. I find that in Vermont we have to work on the principle that men do in quarrying stone. They must excavate and remove the rubbish before they can get at the stone to prepare it for use. So it is with the people here; they are buried so deep in the doctrines and traditions of men, that it requires much patient labor to bring them into the liberty of the gospel of Christ.

But trusting in the Lord, we labor on with courage and hope.
