Hitchcock, assistant missionary at Dwight, among the Cherokees of the Arkansas, died at that station on the 3d of March. Rev. C. Washburn, after relating some of the circumstances of the sickness of Mrs. H. which terminated in a bereavement so afflictive to her husband and the mission family, remarks Thus, in a sudden and unexpected manner, and at a time and under circumstances very tenderly trying, was our beloved sister taken from us. It is our Father's hand: He ordered the time and circumstances of her removal, and we are sure all was ordered wisely and in unerring kindness. We are consoled by the evidence which she gave in life, that her death would be the entrance into immortal life. To us her death is a very great loss. She was an excellent woman, a valuable member of this mission, and a dearly beloved sister. ANNIVERSARIES OF AUXILIARIES. CONNECTICUT.
