If nothing in the providence of God prevents, I will meet with the church in New Ipswich, N. H., Sabbath and first-day, Jan. 21 and 22. Hope at this meeting to meet all the friends in that vicinity.
Jan. 28 and 29, will meet with the church in Washington, N. H. At this meeting, I hope to see friends from Newport, Cornish, and all the scattered brethren in that section.
Feb. 5 and 6, will meet with the friends in Amherst, N. H. Let these meetings be a subject of much prayer, that God may make them productive of good.

The Conference.
By James White
On this page may be seen the appointments of our Conferences and Associations. It is hoped that our people in the several States, and elsewhere, will be represented at this gathering, either by delegate or by letter. We are always glad to see our brethren from distant States; but we very much question the propriety of several ministers coming from a small, distant State conference, at the expense of the conference. It may be better sometimes to let lay brethren come at their own expense. In some cases, distant States and territories can be represented by letter, or by leading ministers who know the especial wants of those parts of the field. But let those who do attend our annual meetings, come with a mind to work. If you send us delegates, please send working men. If not, send us letters. J. W.
News and Miscellany.
“Can ye not discern the signs of the times?”
The War in Europe.
Extreme cold weather prevails in France, which greatly interferes with military movements. General Faidherbe has gone into camp near Arras on account of the severe cold.
The Prussians cannonaded the town of St. Calais on the 26th, and afterwards captured it. The French are complaining bitterly of disorders committed by the German soldiers. Considerable excitement has been created in England by the sinking of six British coal vessels in the Seine, by the Prussians. The cause of this act has not been explained; but we suspect that it was because they were engaged in a contraband trade. There was considerable of a fight near Havre on the 25th, in which the French were defeated. They came out of the city to meet the Germans. Fire was opened on the fortifications of Paris on the 24th, and has been continued at intervals since. No impression has been made up to the 27th. News of this event has caused great rejoicing in Berlin.
The Prussian government has apologized for the destruction of the English vessels in the Seine, and offer indemnity. The officer commanding the troops who committed the outrage, has been courtmartialed and cashiered.
A proclamation has been issued by the Prussian government declaring all French seaports occupied, or to be occupied by its forces, in a state of blockade.
Saturday morning’s dispatches bring us a contradictory medley of reports and rumors upon which but little reliance can be placed.
The Prussian Twelfth Corps occupied Mt. Avron, one of the Paris forts, after a day’s bombardment, on the 29th. The garrison fled into the city, leaving many guns and their wounded. A dozen shells were sent into Paris on the 27th in the departments of La Villette and Belleville.
Large numbers of French troops have been incapacitated for service by the cold.
