vice was held, at which Rev. MnBissell
touchingly alluded to _' Jthe two hundred
and twenty-five yearn history Of- the _' church,
and the fact that sitting before him were di-
rect descendants of thone who founded the
church and the town» of Nortvalk. Services
were again held in, the evening at all of which
there was an unusually large attendance.
The improved appearance of the church’s in-
terior seemed a delight to every eye. The
good ladies had delightfully challenged all,to
“consider the lilies,” for the platform front,
and baptismal font, were beautifully decorat-
cd‘with them and other choice blooms.
The rc-constructed organ and Mr. Gibson’s

New Enterprise.
Thomas Cousins, Esq., has concluded a
bargain with Monson Hoyt, for a lot in the
rear of Sheehan’s store, for the erection of a
Boot and Shoe manufactory. His lot fronts
50 feet on north side of Hoyt street, and'his
factory will cover the entire Hoyt street front
and run thence 30 feet up a drift-way between
himself and Shechan. It is to be of brick,
four' stories high. with slate roof,- ~~and will be
put under contract .forxerection immediately.
He expects to have his machinery all in and
his men at work by the first of January.
This necessitates his selling out the stock of
his retail store, which he is now doing below
cost. '
This has no connection with the thriving
factory of Jas. Cousins, at Phoenix Block.
May success attend the new enterprise.
Death OfRev. Edwin Hall, D. D.
A brief note was received in town yester-
day (Monday) from the daughter of this emi.
ncnt divine, who for so many years, was
pastor of the First Congregational Church in
Norwalk, andsince his resignation, the Profes-
sor of Theology in the Theological Seminary
at Auburn N.-- Y.—,announeing his sudden
and peaceful death, on the 8th inst, at 1:30
a- m.= - . _ , ‘
This event was no surprise to Dr. Hall or
to his friends; and he was fully prepared for
it. Four years ago, Oct. 25th 1873, he wrote
to a friend here, “I am very-feeble, of film
sight, totteringsteps, and of tremblinghands.
I am evidently jolting over .the road near its
end; yet of comfortable mind, calm, looking
into eternity with hope in the Saviour, ex-
pecting to be saved, as altogether unvvortby,
by grace alone.” i
“No other , placo on earth”-—he writes
again as 1ch very often did—‘ ‘is so dear to me
as Norwalk', but I hardly expect ever to see it
again. .The remembrance of my old friends
is very dear to me. I think 1 shall meet
many of them in Heaven.” . “The pleasantest
hours I have are in the class room=; the
truths appear so precious to me, and the
eternal things so near and real." “It is my
purposcvto live as long as 'I can, and to work
ever-more as long as I am able. IihaJve lasthd
longer than I expected. ” ' ‘ _J
Dr. Hall adds a sentence which, thOu‘g'h
written in the cOnfidenc’e’bf personal friend-
ship, ought now’to be knoWn to this commu-
nity—and especially to the nOciety Which he‘
served so. long and so faithfully, as their
pastor, and with so scant a remuneration.
“I ow'n a lot‘ in the Auburn cemetery. I
own no other land or real estate. I shall be?
unable to leave my family a home, and I am
compelled to leave them, mainly to the good
providences of the Lord. I» have however,
done the best I could, yet here is my severest
trial in theprospect of going into eternity.”
We are not advised of any subsequent
change -,in-Dr. Hall's wordly affairs, and
which is made all the more painful from the
fact that'the Dr. leaves a widow, now over
seventy and, a widowed daughter with-a
child,.-in , quite l limited- circumstances. - He
leavemsix children in all—four sons-and :two .
daughters.» 'The youngest son: is fat .pre’qe'nt.
connected‘with the mission in Turkey.
Dr._ Hall was a pastor here for twenty-three
yearsand the impression of his strong, earnest
and resolute character was largely felt upon
and inourschools, andinzth‘e material mat-
ters of iour:village welfare.~ He was the
author-of'sevel-al -bOOks' which have attracted
wide‘i‘rttention‘and challenged spirited critia
cisms,’at the time of their issuance. He was
pastor o'fthe‘church» in Norwalk from. 1832,
to 1855. His“ funeral is to .take place at-
Allblll'flineday. .3 . . : ' . .

Tlleifollowing br’efvobituary report is clip:
pod from Monday’s N. Y. Times :—- ,_ .
Rcy. Dr. EdwinHall Professor-of Theology
in the. Auburn Seminary,_died at his home in
Auburn, N. Y., on Saturday last. . On Friday
evening hé~ went :-to bed at his usual hour,aft'er
a dayssp'ent inhdriving out .and-iniconvem
tion with friends, and dropped quietlynsleep
About J11 o'clock he waked 'with a sense of
pain and oppression in the chest, Which rap-
idly developed into -a congestion that resisted
anyrattemptsiat relief. and in little over an
hourproved fatal. . Withoutany severe suf-
f cring, and preserving his consciousness to
the last, he expired peacefully at about 1:35'
o'clockion Saturday morning, in the 76th year!
of his age. Prof, Hallbad lived for a long
time in the-calmnnd habitual expectation of
death. With his sight impaired almost to the
extent- of blindness, his articulation somewhat
affected; and his” command of his limbs much
diminished, he continued cheerful and happy
to the end. The funeral will take place on
Tuesday afternoon.
Itis' a real and most gratifying pleasure t
see our fellow townsman,‘ Henry Allen, .,J
again walking our strects with something of
his aforetime elacticity and to ”feel the pres-
sure of his honest hand, warm and cordial
again, with so much of health recovered-
We are glad to know ”that there are reason-
able grounds for expecting his ultimate and
complete restoration. But our friend could
find no charm in the Londoner’s mode of
getting his dinner.
Coming Elections. - ‘

SUDDEN Drum—Early on Friday morn-
ing last, the body of Mrs. Hannah Kroger, a.
venerable lady,native of our town, was found
lying by the roadside, in front of' her-birth-
place, the Adams placc,-Sear Hill, near the
Wilton line. The afternoon before she had
been visiting at her sister’s, widow David St.
John’s, and started to walk home about dark.
As it was somewhat stormy, her nephew, Mr-
Ernest Kroger, with whom she resided, sup-
posed that she was staying all night with her
sister, while her sister supposed she was safe
at home, so-no search was made or uneasiness
manifested by her friends. 'It is supposed
that she. died in an epileptic fit; An inquest
was held on Friday, and a verdict returned of
death by cause unknown ,to..the.jury.

be invited to make such contributions isth‘ey
may be willing to, to the Relief Fund, for
the sick and distressed in town, to either
their pastor or physicians, all of whom are
authorized to receive and receipt for the same
in behalf of the treasurer. To avoid the pos
sibility of any misconstruction Of motives,oue
of our leading physicians announced that in
no case would a cent of this money be used
as a recompense for medicinal attendance up-
on the necessitous. The deetors of the town
would continue to give their services to the
needy, as they had done in the past. That
in no case would money be given, but orders
for such food and medicines as were absolute-
ly necessary. That all such orders would be
audited by Dr. Lynes before a draft on the
Treasurer could be made for payment. It
would seem that every possible precaution
had been taken to guard the contributions of
the benevolent as a sacred trust and certainly
no more generous and conscientious citizens
could be selected to dispense this imperative
aid, to the sick and destitute in our midst.
