WINNIPAUK.
On Wednesday last a rigid,exainination of
the Primary and Intermediate departments of
our district school was made by the Rev.
Mr. Hamilton, visiting member of the Board
of School Visitors. As was expected many
of the Parents and friends of the scholars
were in attendance, prominent among whom
were Mr. J as. Crowther, Mr. Fletcher Pierce,
Mr. Scddon H. Bowker, Mr. John B. Philips
of Fishkill, New York, Mrs. W. B. Bartram,
Mrs. Morgan L. Smith, Mrs. Benj. Taylor,
Miss Anna Smith. Mrs. Theo. Fancher, Mrs.
A. Wood, Mrs. Ed. Larnier and others. The
examination was very exact and the result
was a pleasing satisfaction to both the gen-
tleman conducting the examination and the
visitors present, all expressed themselves as
well pleased with the evidence exhibited of
the continued success of these two Depart-
ments,both in their studies and discipline and
which is entirely due to the faithful labors of
its teachers, Miss Clara and Sarah IIull. Mr.
Hamilton culogized the schools and congrat-
ulated the district on the fact that they had
as competent and faithful teachers as any
school in town.
To-morrow evening, (Wednesday) Rev.
Otis J. Range, Grand \Vorthy Chief Templar
of the I. O. of G. 'l‘. of Conn. will lecture
.on temperance at the School House, com-
mencing at o’clock.' Mr. Range made
many friends here-by his fix st lecture which
n—
was so universally liked that we predict a ,

A good joke at the expense of a Compo

rounds. Some time ago, Mr. Joseph Hurl-

took it into their heads to raise a sum of iiion-
ey by subscription for him. The p'apcr fell
into the hands of the philanthropist (‘9) refer-
red to, who'passed it along till ‘75 had been
secured. .Tlic money was collected and Mr.
H.’ was informed of his good fortune. Much
elated he watched every man who came to,
his house expecting him to be the bearer of
the money. He waited and waited but no.
money arrived, and finally the donors asked
what the delay meant. They were informed
by the philanthropist (2’) that Mr. H. owed
liini,$75, and that he had concluded the host
way to benefit the suffering man was to
lighten his obligations by keeping the amount
subscribed. Mr. H. fails to see the philosophy
of that sort of reasoning.
Mr. W. 11. Taylor of Compo, rose from
his couch Thursday morning, while it was
yet early and after performing ablutions,
found that he had no pantaloons to put on.
Search disclosed the fact that his better half
had not appropriated them as he at first
feared, but that a thief had broken into the '
house during the night and carried them off,
also Mr. T’s vest and a fine rubber overcoat.

Charles Hoyt of Poplar Plains heard what
seemed to him to be unearthly noises in his

Our horse railroad is well patronized, and

The attendance of the first-anniversary of
Wilton Division S. of T. was confined most-
ly to Wilton people, the severe storm inter~
fcring with the attendance from abroad.
Arrangements were made to make this meet-
ing :i grand success, and no pains were
spared by members of the Division. Among
those few who came from abroad were the
Rev. J. G. Davenport, G. W. P. Durand, P.
G. W'. P. and 0. Baldwin, and Brother
Nichols, of Hartford. The church was.
tastefully adorned with streamers, emblems
of the order, etc... Around the gallery were
the names of neighboring Divisions. The -
services were opened by prayer by the Rev.
J. G. Davenport. The W'. P. \Vm. H,
Cooke delivered a short but pleasing address.
The address of welcome was given by the
Rev. S. J. M. Merwin. The historical ad-
dress was delivercd by J. F. Knapp, who
related in a very interesting manner the
short but prosperous history of the division.
The Rev. J. G. Davenport was then called
upon,to address the meeting. After a few
congratulatory remarks he begged leave to
read an original poem instead of making an
address. Mr. D. then read his poem which
depicted most vividly the miseries of a
drunkard’s life, and the happiness of refor-
mation. Brother Nichols, of Hartford,
spoke in a very earnest manner relating his

DEAR GAZETTE :—In a country village, not
many miles from your office, is situated an
old church and like all old churches it is rich
in interesting associations. Not entirely on
account of its age either, for I think there is
about every country church an interest which
is wanting to the more imposing edifice of the
Cit! It is, in fact, the center of attraction.
The inhabitants of a country place have so
few public buildings that they are wont to re-
gard this with more than usual veneration
and respect. I-Ierc, after working hard all the
week, they assemble and not only attend the
services but also, at noon time, engage in dis-
cussing their crops and other topics of in-
terest I shudder to think of the amount of
gossip that is originated by the feminine por-
tion of the congregation, during the short
hour between the two services. How many
poor ministers have had their sermons
picked to pieces, their style condemned, and
even their personal appearance severely criti-
cised; the size of their sleeve buttons, and
the amount of jewelry about their persons
being freely commented upon, with a zeal
and energy that characterizes the gossipers
as proficients in their art. Meanwhile, the
men out upon the steps are equally as earnest
in arguing upon the latest political news, and
in—well, I willnot repeat the word gossiping.

Until within afew years ago, amajority of
Protestant churches discarded flowers from 1
their places of worship, as savoring to much
of papacy or the ritual. They aimed to make
the sanctuary as cheerles and devoid of beauty

churches recognized the significance of the
beautiful in relation to the anniversary of the
Resurrection by a liberal display of flowers.
The disciples of Wesley and of Calvin almost

Succeeding the services of the Lenten sea-
son, the gladsomc Easter was ushered in by
the churches, as marking an acceptable change
from the solemnitics which had proceeded.
The weather was not propitious in the morn-
ing, but at about the hour for services to be-
gin, the sun came out gloriously, and relig-
ious darkness gave way to light, and sadness
to joy. At Christ Church, the anniver- ,
sary of the Resurrection was cele-
brated in strict conformity with the EpiSco-
pal ritual. There was a full service and ser-
mon by the rector, Rev. John R. Williams,
and the celebration of the Holy Communion.
Agreeably to custom the altar and surround-
ings were bedecked with flowers in all colors,
and wrought into ma'ny shapes, the contribu-
tions of the parish ladies. Appearing thus
early in the spring after days of storm and
darkness, these floral emblems struck the sen-
ses pleasantly. The choir, Mr. Edward A.
Nash, organist, conducted by Mr. E. Wheel-
er, rendered appropriate musical selections.
At Memorial Church the beach drapery
placed at the altar on Good Friday to suggest
the sadness of the Crucifixion, gave way on
Easter morning to white, emblematic of life
and immortality. The atmosphere in this
lovely ecclesiastical temple seemed to glow
with religious light, if such a term is proper,
a‘lid a profusion of natural flowers tastefully
arranged, bespoke by their presence and fra-
grance, the devotion of the church’s mem-
bers. The rector, Rev. A. N. quis, preach-
ed and administered the Communion, and a
large congregation listened to good music un-
der the direction of Prof. Albert Wilkins,
Fred D. Marvin, organist. The Sunday
School anniversary was held in the evening.

fane oath, or shall wickedly curse another,
shall be fined one dollar,” and yet, the other
day, a lot of smelt fishermen at work in the
river tried for 40 minutes to swear‘ off the
great coal canaller Delaware, which in adver-
tently ran upon their seine. The fines for
swearing on that occasion, had they been im-
posed, would havc aggregated $146933. The
damage to net, and value of fish' caught, to-
gether amounted to $10.75. Pretty near time
for the Norwalk Blue Law agitators to visit
Westport.
Somebody has been lying about that post-
oflice succession business. The parties who
were suspected of being at the bottom of the
scheme, when asked if they knew anything
about it denied point blank, and shrank in
holy horror from the presence of the interro-
gators. That seemed to settle the question,
and yet, there now comes a report to the
effect that in the Post Office Department at
Washington there reposes a petition with
signatures of Westport men appended, ask-
ing for a change of postmasters here. The
petition sleeps, and will require something
more than a blast from Gabriel’s trumpet to
awaken it; from slumber.
Daily services largely attended, had been
held at the Catholic church during Passion

The annual exhibition of the South Five
Mile River School “was given in the 3d M. E.
Church on Wednesday and Thursday even-
ings, March 28th and 29th, under the per-
sonal direction of the teachers, Mr. Lyon,
and Miss Bradley, in a very acceptable and
creditable manner. The programme of ex-
ercises consisted of singing, declamations
and dialogues. The salutatory by Miss
Emily Tristram, was nicely and modestly
given. In the declamations we mention
Herman Monsell, Emma .Rile and Lizzie
Smith; they cannot be excelled, considering
their ages. The singing by Miss Cora Hor-
ton, pleased and delighted all. The singing
by the school was very creditable, and the
little Misses. Lillie .Towndes, and Lillie Van
Buskirk, deserve credit for their singing also.
The dialogues were mostly by the young
Misses. of the school and were all well given.
Hamlet and the Ghost, by Masters Lyon and.
Ferris, was very laughable, and considering
that it was planned and devised by them-
selves, made it all the more funny. Singing
My Grandfather’s Clock, by the Misses-
Dibble and Thomas, assisted by Master
Eddie Dibble, was splendidly given, in fact,
the whole exhibition merits great praise for
both teachers and scholars, and we hope they
may all live to give us another exhibition at
the expiration of another year that will‘ sur-
pass the one given this time.

Flood in Stafi‘ordville. '
The Staffordville Reservoir Company’s dam
on the east branch of the Willimantic River
gave way at 6 O’clock Tuesday morning, and
the most disastrous flood that every- occurred
in Connecticut was the result. The dam has
been standing for some years, butlast Fall
the owners added six feet to its hight. The
residents of the valley have never liked the
change. The body of water covered about
600 acres. The leak was discovered on Mon-
day, and the workmen were busy all day and
night filling in about the waste-pipe. Their
efforts were useless, and at 5:30 o’clock next
morning the work was abandoned. The
water then gained so rapidly that in a few
piinlutes the dam opened, and the flood burst
ort .
When the water burst out of the reservoir
it struck and carried off a side building by
the Converse Mills, the dwelling house of
Otis Holbrook, and two bridges: Turning
with the channel, it destroyed Amadon’s
machine shop, several tenements, and the
house of Parley Howe.
Then the dam of Phoenix Company, Howe
Company, and Valley Company, tore away,
though the mills were not hurt; Growing
greater, the volume of water, reaching Straf—
ford Hollow, tore away an iron bridge, grist
mill, and several old bridges. Making a new
channel by Beebe’s store, it cut through the
highway a passage 35 feet deep and spread
over the menthw below there, but was
gathered again at a gorge half a mile above
the borough of Stafford Springs. Here it
carried off the Glen Companp’s dam, but the
mills and tenements escaped. From here a
mass about 30 feet high, made up of. debris
as much as water, came rolling to the dam of
the Converseville Company. The Converse
Mill was not destroyed, but the dam wen-t
and also the dam of the Granite Mill.
The mill building was flooded and some-
what undermined, but did ‘not'fall. Eight
tenements belonging to this cempany were
knocked over and literally ground to pieces,

mile of track, and fifteen loaded freight cars
were swept away. -
The accident is a terrible blow to the indus-

thrown out of employment. The loss down
as far as Stafford Springs is estimated at from
one-half to one million of dollars.

changed. Several years ago the pastor wished
to turn the pews around and to remove the
chancel to the other end, but the, brethren,
influenced by the associations connected with
the dear old church where their fathers had
worshipped before them, or by the love of
their pocket-books (I know not Which), were
loath to make any change. The parish is one
of the oldest in the state, and the church has
quite a. history connected with it. It wits
first built in the former part of the last centu-
ry, but since then has been rebuilt several
times, the present edifice having been erected
somewhere in the vicinity of 1830.

be a Tory) while preaching to his assembled

Debility, whether it be inherent, or caused by
