Individual Details

He has a son, Rev. John Niles Hubbard, now preaching at Dansville, N. Y., who has kindly communicated to the author the following interesting sketches of his father's history: " In going from one appointment to another, in the performance of his missionary and ministerial labors, when this part of the country was new and almost entirely destitute of preaching, he studied many of his sermons on horseback. He was in the habit of studying, reading, and praying on horseback. The woods echoed the songs of praise to God which he sung, and were the witnesses of many prayers which he offered, as he rode a solitary wanderer through them. The Rev. John Niles was one day visiting a family in the vicinity of Bath, N. Y., when the lady of the house inquired of him, ' If he thought that angels ever visited people now-a-days' stating that at such a time it seemed to her that she received a visit from an angel. She was at the time in very feeble health, when a stranger called, who wore a most heavenly countenance, and who conversed and prayed with her in a most kind and heavenly manner, and who, when he was going away, left her a little wine in a bottle; that since then she had been growing better; that she had never seen the man before or since, but it seemed to her as though she had received a visit from an angel. By her account of the person and the time of the visit, Mr. Niles knew it must have been Mr. Hubbard. He often carried a flask of wine with him in his portmanteau, not for his own use, for he was never in the habit of drinking it, but for such sick persons as he thought it might benefit. He has been known to carry for miles sacks of flour, and other articles of necessity and comfort, to the lonely dwellings of the sick and sorrowful."
