At
night we saw something totally unique and difficult to describe to
those who have not witnessed the same in China. Men bore aloft great
dragons and fishes innumerable, of all sizes and shapes, (but very
true to life), given a natural color and lighted up within, like
Chinese lanterns. These were held aloft on the ends of long poles, and
as the men who carried them were invisible, because of the darkness,
and trod noiselessly because of bare, or merely sandaled feet, the
impression was of an immense train of these creatures floating or
swimming silently through the air.
The procession was made up of men of all sorts and kinds. Great fat
men with enormous fans panted along, and little boys ran by their side
with stools upon which they gravely seated themselves whenever
the line of march was halted for a moment. Little boys progressed
painfully along with the rest, walking on their hands, with their feet
thrown up into the air, or spinning along on all fours like wheels,
or going through various other antics. And, contrary to anything that
could have happened away from the open ports of China, there were many
women in the parade, and girls too. They were on horseback, in sedan
chairs, borne on wheeled platforms, like our "Goddess of Liberty"
representations on the Fourth of July; walking, and sometimes riding
on bullocks. We counted 150 women in all. These were dressed and
painted up in such a style that a single glance showed they belonged
to the disreputable class, and their old "pocket-mothers," were to
be seen walking along close to them and keeping a sharp lookout over
their gaudily dressed slaves. Yet more painful was the sight of
the little girls, bound to heavy wires a |

nature at another
parish in Stratford, called Ripton, under the pastoral care of the Rev.
Mr. Mills. There was a considerable revival of religion last summer at
Newhaven old town, as I was once and again informed by the Rev. Mr.
Noyes, the minister there, and by others: and by a letter which I very
lately received from Mr. Noyes, and also by information we have had
other ways. This flourishing of religion still continues, and has lately
much increased. Mr. Noyes writes, that many this summer have been added
to the church, and particularly mentions several young persons that
belong to the principal families of that town.
There has been a degree of the same work at a part of Guildford; and
very considerable at Mansfield, under the ministry of the Rev. Mr.
Eleazar Williams; and an unusual religious concern at Tolland; and
something of it at Hebron, and Bolton. There was also no small effusion
of the Spirit of God in the north parish in Preston, in the eastern part
of Connecticut, of which I was informed, and saw something, when I was
the last autumn at the house, and in the congregation of the Rev. Mr.
Lord, the minister there; who, with the Rev. Mr. Owen, of Groton, came
up hither in May, the last year, on purpose to see the work of God.
Having heard various and contradictory accounts of it, they were careful
when here to satisfy themselves; and to that end particularly conversed
with many of our people; which they declared to be entirely to their
satisfaction; and that the one half had not been told them, nor could be
