appropriate method of commencing at new

Kelley’s Mill and all the property pertaining
to it, as will be seen by advertisement in
another column, is to be sold at auction. In
value for flouting or other purposes it is
second to none, save that owned by Mr. E.
H. Nash. Standing in a good situation, a
never failing stream of water gives it advan-
tages well worthy the attention of enter-
prising men. The mill has a history which
might be repeated with pleasure and profit.

any other man in town. '

Miss Palmer, sister of the District Com-
mittee, Mr. W. R. Palmer, teaches the Cross
Highway school, rice Mr. W. 0. Clark,
who, nevertheless visits the schoool-bouse
daily and offers his services. It is reported
that last fall, after Palmer had been. chosen
committee, he (Palmer) went to R. D. Cable,
a resident of the district, and tried to prevail
on him (Cable) to take the committeeship
off his hands, that he (Palmer) might teach
the school himself. If this be true, some of
the recent proceedings in the district have
an explanation.

The following story, never before in print,
has been repeated by- the people of Poplar
Plains for nearly two generations. It is the
experience of Mrs. Gould Jellilfe’s grand-
mother, Charity Sturges, who died at a

"great age in 1827. The story is from the lips
of Mrs. Jellifie, herself well advanced in
years. Mrs. Sturges was a devout woman,
and toward the latter part of her life had a
great desire to see the New Jerusalem. Her
wish was gratified through the medium of a
vision during which a lovely being from an-
,Other sphere appeared at her bedside and of-
fered to conduct her to the gates of the beau-
tiful city. She feared to undertake the jour-
ney as she had not walked in the street for
more than twenty years. But the visitor re-
assured her and said, “lay hold on me and I
will take you safely there.” They went in
company a long, long distance, and finally
reached a lake where there was a great mul-

- titude of little children each with a silver cup
and drinking from the water of the lake. She
asked what this meant, and was told the chil-
dren were those murdered by Herod in ‘his
attempt to kill the Savior, and that they were
drinking spiritual water. “Oh i" she said,
“how I wish I could drink of it.” “You
may," said her guide, "when the children
come this way.” They soon approached and
she quenched her thirst from the living water.
Looking at the opposite shore of the lake she
saw three persons in bright raiment, and was
told by the guide that they were Joseph,
Mary and Christ. Continuing the journey

..they passed along a steep and narrow way,
and after a time came to a door which open-
ed and they entered. Inside she beheld
countless happy people, among whom were
those she hadknown in early life, and who
had long since died. While addressing them
and listening to their answers she exclaimed, -

“Oh, what a beautiful place, would that I
could stay here i” But the guide said, “No,
not now,you must go back to earth for awhile,
and then you may come and live here al-
ways." ~. Thus pacified she set out to return,
passing over giddy heightsand through val-
leys filled with rocks and crags. From an
eminence she caught sight of adrcadtul look-
ing spot, and on asking the guide its charac-
ter, was told it was the everlasting abode of
the wicked. Wearied with the effort thus
far made the old lady cared to see no more,
and wished to return. As mysteriously as
he had come the guide vanished and she
awoke but to find herself in her apartment

and safely in bed. The strange part of this
tale is yet to be told. As has already been
stated, Mrs. Sturges had not left her house
for more than twenty years. Indeed, she

could only walk by the aid of crutches and a
cane. The absence of these articles was the
first thing noticed by the attendant who call-
edin the morning to wait upon her. The clay
pipe she was in the habit of smoking had also

disappeared. On being questioned as to the

whereabouts of the missing articles, the old
lady said they were lying on the ground un-
der 8. large tree. Repairing to the tree which
was nearly a mile from the house, crutches,
cane and pipe were found in the very posi-
tion indicated. Mrs. Sturges was never sick

at day in her life. Death came finally like a
gentle sleep when she was in her 106th year,
and she passed through the gates she had

seen in a vision, and into the real New Jeru-

salem. Her ashes rest in the old cemetery at

Poplar Plains. Over them, a marble Slab

sculptured and properly inscribed is about to
be erected by her many descendants.

WINNIPAUK.
Death of George H. Bundle.

On Friday last the community was startled
by the announcement of the sudden demise
of one of our oldest citizens, George H.
Randle.

Mr. Randle had been complaining for sev-
eral days of a distressing pain in the chest,
and attributed the cause to dyspepsia. On the
morning of the sad event he was feeling as
well as usual and had been empléyed around
his premises until nearly ten o’clock, a. m.,
when the pain in his chest caused him to stop
work and to enter the house. He took some
medicine and had a mustard paste placed
upon the afflicted part, and laid himself down.
Mrs; Randlc noting that he was suffering
more than usual, desired to remain with him,
but he dissuaded her, and leaving the call-bell
'near him she returned to her household duties.
A few brief moments and he who had been a
kind husband, an affectionate father, and an
esteemed citizen was found in the embrace of
death. Life passed away without a struggle
~—lie went as peacefully as if falling asltep,

liandQver his breast.
‘~50 miles the summer cloud away ;

So sinks the gaze when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;

50 dies the wave along the shore.”

“Like one who wraps the drapery of hisconch
about him. and lies down to pleasant dreams.”

George Hyatt Randlc was the son of Sam-
uel P. Randle, Esq, a prominent hat manufac-
turer of Wilton; was born in 1814; in 1842
he became an active member of the Congre.
gational Church in Wiltcn; was choristerand
Superintendent of the Sabbath School for
many years and until his removal to Nor-
walk in 1850; shortly after taking up his res-
idence here be connected himself by letter
with the lst Congregational Church, and has
been an earnest and active member ever since.
Mr. Randlc leaves a wife, two sons, and
four daughters,—one daughter a missionary
in Turkey,-and a large circle of mourning
relatives and friends. The funeral solemnl-
ties Were held atjhis late residence on Mon-
day afternoon, at which time the Winnipauk
Mills were closed in respect; to his memory.

WILTON.

The Bishop of this diocese will visit St.
Matthew’s church, (D. V.) on Saturday after-
noon next, at 3 o’clock. All are invited.
Well, sure enough, it is now settled that
Mrs. Samuel Marvin gives her first annual en-
tertainment in Wilton on the 15th and Bethcl
on the 16th. Her friends, we doubt not,
will give her a reception which will he plans-
ing, and we are sure the entertainment will
reward all who attend,for their long waiting.
See advertisement. .
The annual meeting of the Mission Band
was held at the Congregational lecture-mom
on Friday evening. Reports for the past
year were read by the different officers,
from which it appeared that the receipts had
amounted to over $100. Some of the objec-"
tions frequently made to Foreign Missions,
and their support by such organizations as
Mission Bands, were most. pleasingly and
convincingly answered by Mrs. Wilcox, wife
of Rev. Mr. Wilcox, of Stamford.

The death of Mr. George H. Handle on
the morning of the 3d inst. was nearlyas
startling in its suddenness, as was that of Mr.
C. M. Gregory sonic two months ago. Mr.
Randlc was a native of Wilton, and in the
nected
with various hat «manufacturing c erprises.
He returned to Wilton from Philadelphia
about a year since, and had but just moved
to the “Lounsbury Place” at Winnipauk,
when death so abruptly called him hence.
The summer term of the Wilton Academy
will begin on Tuesday, May 7th.

Owing to the storm the attendance on
Sunday at St. Matthew’s was quite small,
while at the Congregational church no servi-
ces were held in the afternoon.

The friends of Mr. H. S. Ogden were
pleased to see him in town On Sunday.

rank amongst the Best Pianos. J. 1V. Pattison.

The Weber Pianos cannot possibly be sur-
passed. S. B. Mills.

consider it the best in the world.

Harry Sanderson.

The Weber Piano possesses every thing that

can he wished for iifimno. G. W. Morgan.

The Weber Plan nks foremost amongst
the best manufucturcd. William Mason.

The Weber Pianos stand first amongst the
splendid Pianos produced in this Country.

A ten years’ experience satisfies me that
the Weber Pianos are unapproachable.
