day night, which resulted in death the next
morning- Mrs. \Vhite, who occupies a house
in the rear of her father's residence on Mont-'
oomery street, on returning home from her
father’s house about nine o’clock, was inform-
ed by her little girl that the lamp was on fire
and she could not blow it out. Mrs. White
hurried up stairs and clasped the lamp in hei-
clothes, hoping thereby to extinguish the
flames, but finding it impossible, she dropped
the lamp, and rushing to the front of the
house j um ed ‘ ')m the window to the ground
below. e mother,seeing‘her in flames, told
her to lay down in‘ the grass and roll over,
while she rushed fora pail of water, and with
it extinguished the fire.

preventedin a sin manner. The fire
was set ina lot of kindlingwood piled up
near a waterpipe. As soon as the flames got
headway, the heat generated sufficient steam
in the water pipe to burst out the top which
was about six inches above the faucet. The
force of water, striking against the top of
the little wooden cupboard, must have come
down in such a copiousshower as to deluge
the fire in a few minutes.
Afire broke out in the interior of Mr.

A strange incident occured in a Stamford
church the other day. A victim of mental
derangement, well known about town, seeing
the vestry door open, went in and put on one
of the minister’s sacredotal garments, and
took his stand in the pulpit. he clergyman
appeared on the scene, and the uninvited oc—

The lligll hopes of farmers “molder cold
and low,” wheh they bring to market the
most perfect potatoes grown in Connecticut
soil and can only realize seventy-five cents per
barrel for them. Under these circumstances
is it the consumer or is it the ”producer who
is justly entitledto be heard when he utters
his wail about “hard times ” It costs. the
farmer in round numbers one dollar to grow
three bushels of potatoes! He now has to
sacrifice twenty—five cents for the privilege
of being one of that class who political
romaneers denominate the kings—the real
rulers of “the land of tile free and the home
of the brave.” '
How nicely could the expense of erecting
and keeping lighted street lamps in certain
portions of the village have been defrayedby
a portion of the interest on sums foolishly
spent by the town in dpening a road on the
east side, and grading (i’) the depot road.
High Mass, wiih music under the'direction
of Mr; A. Wilkins, Miss Annie Dunlay,

Easter Sunday, 16th, but owing to the move-
ments of Rev. Father Lawlor, could not then
be carried out.-

In describing the Easter church decora-

general terms was carried out. Several

flowers, having requested that their names
be withheld. But there appeared at the
altar of Christ Church on that morning, two
works of such rare excellence that a word
about them is proper. Two sentences, “The
Lord is Risen,” and “He 3's Risen Indeed,"
in'German-text were conspicuously placed.
Encireling each were borders of many
varieties of flowers in rich colors so exquisite-
ly painted and shaded as to induce flies to
alight upon them, and to strike the eye at
firstisight that they were real flowers. The
work was executed by the Misses Jackson

The whole attendance numbered about one
hundred and fifty members of the Order. '
As the Session was necessarily a short one
the business was rapidly transacted. The re-
ports of the G. W. P., G. S. and G. T. were
-full of encouragement, as they showed that
the Order was increasing in membership and
in new Divisions and was financially prosper-
ous. These reports were referred to the prop-

committees made their reports, all of which
were accepted and appropriate action taken.

Also reports from Cascade and North Wes-

number of delegates with encouraging and
pleasing reports. After further routine of
business the committee on Resolutions report-
ed the following which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, “That hailing with. joy as we do,
progress in the Temperance reform, we are
cheered by the evidences. of success which.
are brought to us in the reports of the various
lodges of the District, and as seen in the
work and results of other organizations of a
similar character outside of our order which
inspires the hope that our cause will ult
1y revail.
esoload, That we extend the right hand of
fellowship to all who work outside of our
Order in a common conflict with the evil of
intemperance. .
Resolved, That the cause of humanity has
been by the Temperance reform most signally
blest in the past, and we have reason to ex.
pect more glorious results from the same agen-
cy in the future. -
leoed, That in «dry Good Templar we
recognize a brother orsister aiming at one of ~
the most sublime, and ‘grand achievements to
which man has been permitted to aspire. .
Resolved, That while we re oice at the suc-
cess of the past, we will by: 'vinc assistance
not slacken our efforts to save the fallen and
hes others from falling. - ~ . . .
mloed, That inasmuch as God has aided
this enterprise, not only in the United States,
but throughout the civilized world, we will
rejoice and go on, trusting in him to perfect
what has been so signally commenced.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con-
vention, this interest may be materially ad.
wowed by Lodges holding public meetings in
the different school districts in which the
members associate. '
Resolved, That while homes are being des-
olated, and the gray hairs of fathers and
mothers brought in sorrow to the ve by
intemperate sons, and the tears ofiidows
and orphans flow.because husbands or fathers
have gone down to a. drunkard’stgrave we
will ever wage an uncompromising .w are
against the monster intemperance, until the
manufacture and sale or use of intoxicating
liqgors as a beverage shall be by law prohib-
ite . ‘ ""
Resolved, That we tender to Sincerity Lodge
No. 174 our heartfelt thanks for their kind
hospitality toward us, for their most bounti-
ful repast, and their cordial welcome, and we
hope at some future time. to be privileged to
extend to them the same cordial welcome. _
The balance of time was spent in singing,
speaking, ctc., till half-past five o'clock when
a public meeting was held in the church,
which was well filled. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Brother Robinson of Olivet Lodge,
Brother Morris Tuttle of Bridgeport and Rev.
Otis J. Range of Meriden, G. W. C. T. of the
State. Earnest, logical and what ought
to=-be convincing arguments were used by
each speaker. All seemed well pleased with
the speaking, singing and general conduct of
the meeting, and many went away determin-
ed to more earnestly work forthe welfare a'nd
salvation of fallen man in the future than
they have ever done in the 'past.‘ . Thus has
ended one of the most interesting meetings

A Widely Annie-bio Remedy.
Few remedies are applicable to such a wide
and this is'not because it has special properties
adopted to the cure of each-Such a pretence
would be manifestly absurd,-but on account of
its wonderully impgoving efl‘ect upon the general
tone of the system, and its alterative action upon
the organs of nutrition, secretion and ‘dilcbdrgo.
Besideslts well known properties as a remedy for
intermittent and remittont foven, dpspepsia, eon.
stipation, torpidity of the liver. general debility,
urinary and uterine dimoultles. it invariably
proves to be highly servrceable in overcoming an-
oemia, hypocboudria, rheumatism, insomnia, and
many other disorders and disabilities originating
in poverty or impurity of the blood, nervous weak-
ness or over-excitement, or an imperfect perform-
ance of the physical functions. _
