We are having a visit from HIM: hip Daphne. The officers are an _acquisi and we hope they may make a long stay in our not tuo often visited port. The play of the searchlight is a genuine source of i terest and curiosity to the natives. Now that the country is not disturbed by war nor rumours of war, there are no fears excited nor forebodings of evil from such exhibitions.
FURLOUGH, Dr. Grant with Mrs. Grant and other members of the missionary community have gone home for a well-earned rest. The Doctor has had a busy time of it during his term of years in Ningpo. His memory will be kept treen by his numerous Chinese friends whom he leaves behind. The foreign community hav Jost_a genuine benefactor. Safe to say the Doctor does not leave an enemy behind him. No aphe did not give a ba poo response. Had was ever made to the Doctor to which some check been placed upon his altruism he might have gone home a stronger man. We all wish for and Mrs. Grant a safe journey and a speedy return.
2nd May.
