The Steam Yacht Ibis, Captain Charles
Fairchild, of;the New York Yacht Squadron,

' Under direction of the sclectmen, a much
needed improvement is making in- the tum-
pike near Burr Avenue. Men are at work
there cutting down a steep grade which has
always annoyed horses drawing carriages.
Mr. Geo. H. Nash has charge of the work,
which is proof that it will be well done.
When the trifling expense which this work
will cost is considered, people may reason-
ably . ask why it was not thought of before,
and further, why may not other abrupt eleva-
tions in town be similarly dealt with.
Our people have the highest regard, per-
sonally; for Captain Peter Bulkley, who
without question is one of those men who
would not willingly inflict injury or do’a‘
wrong. But, when, as on Sunday morning-
' = last he' brings his schooner'up the river, and
open the village draw-to let her'pass through
when church bells are tolling and devout
persons on their way to attend divine service
are hindered waiting in the hot sun on the

test. . - .

One cannot always tell what serious, results
may follow trifling causes. A little child of
William Pitzer was playing with a stick in
its mouth." The child stumbled and fell, and
th’stick penetrated the child’s check in such
a manner that the strength of two persons
.was required to withdraw it. Rapid swell-
ing of the head followed and fears are enter-
tained that the child will not recover.

The Library Association Festival which
was held in Smith’s Hall on Tuesday and
Wednesday evening’s of last week, was
taking the times into consideration, well
attended, and for enjoyment was fully
equal to any of the like occasions hereto-
fore given by this association; financially
it was a success surprising to all. The
dramatic and humorous readings of Prof.
Wilson R. Terry of Brooklyn and the music,
instrumental and vocal by the Misses Crow-'
ther, added much to the interest of both
evenings. The inevitable cane caused some
little excitement and after a spirited contest
between Mr. Henry Gruman and Dr. Wm.

Much merriment was caused by the cutting

To the Editor of the Religious Herald:—
In your issue of May 30th there is a notice
of what you are pleased to call “a decided
unpleasantantness" between Rcv.Dr. Sander-
son and his congregation in Westport which
is likely to convey a wrong impression, and
which, without any such intention on your
part, certainly does Dr. Sanderson very great
Injustice. It is there stated that the diflieul-
ty cxrsts on account of a heterodox sermon
which he recently preached. Without at all
entering into the merits of the case as be-
tWeeu pastor and people, it is proper to state
that Dr. Sanderson is known in this region as
a sound theologian and a thoroughly ortho-
‘dox preacher after the Presbyterian type of
orthodoxy. His people do not complain of
unsoundness in doctrineon his part, neither
is it understood by them that the diMculty
arose from any heterodoxy in the sermon re-
ferred to, or in any other sermon preached
during his ministry of more than five years
among them. By making this correction you
Will do a simple act of justice to one who is es-
teemcd as an able and faithful preacher.
Very respectfully, B. J. RELYEA,
Pastor Congregational church.

At the diocesan convention of the Episco—
pal church, last week, the board_of education
of the church scholarship socrcty was re-
elected. the Rev. President Pynchon being
chairman, the Rev. William F. Nichols, sec-
retary, and the Rev. Francis Goodwin, treas-
urer. The Hon. Elisha Johnson was re-
elected one of the board of directors of
diocesan missions. The Rev. Francis Good-
win was chosen trustcc of the Bishops fund,
and Mr. George Beach a trustee of donations
and bequests for church purposes, to fill va-
cancies caused by the death of Mr. James
Goodwin. The Rev. Dr. Sanford, of Thomp—
sonville, was elected a trustee of the Episco-
pal academy of Cheshire.
The revised code of canons of the diocese
goes into effect August 1st. The rector of
each parish is made chairman of the vestry,
but not a member of the body, so that he has
no vote except in case of a tie.

What we Know Personally.
All who are suffering should avail them-
selves of Dr. Howe’s brief visit to the Curtis
House, and call upon him and be relieved.
Dr. Howe is a conscientious, Christian gen-
tleman, whom we are glad to endorse. He
is not a traveling quack, but an educated
Physician of responsibility doing a large
business in New York. Those in Meriden
whom the doctor has treated, willbear testi-
mony at. any time to the great help he has
been to them. Those who were weak and
broken down, a year ago, and followed his
directions, are to-day robust and in the en-
joyment of excellent health. All desiring
to be helped or cured, should call on the
doctor at the Curtis House:

At last Professor Richtel’s air ship has
made an ascension, and a most successful one
yesterday afternoon. The operator was a
young man weighing ninety-six pounds, a
slender built fellow, whose nerve was, how-
ever, fully equal to llis muscle; for he went
up from the enclosure of the ball grounds to’a
height at least twice that of the summit of the
spire of thechurch of the Good Shepherd and
then struck off in an easterly direction to-
ward the river, intending as he afterward
said, to cross the Connecticut. But it being
apparent to the professor that a storm was
coming up he signalled him to return. The
operator turned the car around in mid air and
returned, descending at the professor’s'fcet.
Previous to this flight the operator ascended,
turned the car about, and descended several
times to show his perfect control over the
machine—Commit, 13th.
