The annual meeting of the Ladies’ Society
connected with the Sunday School was held
at the residence of Mrs. James Crowther,
on Tuesday, 17th inst.’ Mrs. Anne W. God-
dard under whose management the Fair and
Festival of the 12th and 13th last was so
successfully carried through reported the net
proceeds at $75.00, a neat little sun to be
added to bank account of the Sunday school.
A‘committee was appointed to see what ar-
rangements could be made to procure a
suitable and permanent place in which to
hold the sessions of the Sunday school other
than in the building belonging to the School
District; we are glad that they have moved
in this matter and hope that success will
attend them, the other societies have long
felt'the want of suitable rooms and many
tax payers object seriously to the use of said
building for other than its legitimtae pur-
mses. ‘They elected the following officers
tJSCl‘Ve for the year ensuingz—President,
Mrs. Anne W. Goddard; Vice-President,
Mrs. Mary Pierce; Secretary, Miss Anna
Gregory; Treasurer, W. H. Hageman.

dcportment and genial disposition has made
her a host of friends among 'all classes who
regret the necessity of her Withdrawal.

A dweling begun last January, and near—
ly complieted at a (lost of many thousand
of dollars will be occupied during the latter
part of this month, by its enterprising pro-
prietor and family, Mr. S. M. Burnham of
New York. It stands on Compo Hill, 011
property purchased of Mr. Henry Bradley
and commands a view of the Sound for a
distance eastward and westward, of upward
of twenty miles, and of the surrounding
country, and cannot be surprised or oven
equalled for beauty by any homestead in this
part of the' State. Two hundred and sixty
feet above the level of Long Island Sound,
the house forms an attractive object, and
seated upon its verandah the fortunate pos-
sessor may enjoy those water views without
which no landscape is complete ;—may watch
the approach of storms, listen to the pleas-
ant sound of Waves rolling upon the beach
near by .on the one hand, and the hum of
bees and the songs of birds on the other,
and at the same time may breathe the air
made fragrant by contact with fields fertile as
any in this temperate clime. The presence of
bath rooms. wash stands, and closets with
all modern appliances pertaining to them on
the various floors, with a tank of large size
in the attic and acistern outside capable
of holding 300 hogsheads of water, make
it evident that wells are :not to be re-
lied on, and that domestic expedien-
cy, so to speak, has been studied. The
house faces the south, and from any front
room views of rare loveliness may be held.
On the third floor a room of wholesome
dimensions, its windows opening towards
the Sound has been finished, with shelves,
closets, and other features so placed together
as to suggest that, in rainy woather,—a.sud-
den storm for instance, the proprietor and
friends can run in under the rafters and
indulge in a pleasant game of billiards.
Good taste has been displayed in all the
appointments of the house, the chief ob-

from the nature of things. look down upon
his neighbors, he will do so with a feeling
in which is mingled the sentiment‘ “Come
Up, see, and enjoy this, beautiful place with
me.” With good neighbors, fishing grounds
drives, railway station, a village and capi-
tal back county near, Mr. B. will doubtless
find himself in a position to “live while he
lives,” and reasonably speaking to "enjoy
the pleasures of the present day.” Next
after requisite cash investment, Mr. B. is
indebted to architects justly for these fine
thihgs, Mr. Flavius Clark Of Norwa lk, hav-
ing performed the mason work and Mr.
Oscar Smith of Saugatuck, the carpenter
and joiner work, all of which has been hand.

will the best kind of an advertisement for
those who did it, and the completed structure
will, for some time to come,speak eloquently
for itself. .

A REVIVA’ Jr OF PLANTATION BIANN’RRS.
The Senate [will an all night session “'cd—
ncsday, and son: e time about midnight, the
Army'Bill being under discussion and the
Democrats trying to force its passage without
allowing the Republicans to debate the meas-
ure, Senator Conkling, made one of the most
scathing arraignments of the democracy for
hypocrisy and unfair treatment ever heard in
the Senate. It created immense excitemen
Incidental reference was made to Mr. Lamar,
who arosfi and denounced the statement as a
falsehood. .
Mr. Conkling, who had been walking slow-
ly back and forth behind the benches, ad-
vanced to his seat and said: “Mr. President,
I was diverted during the, commencement of
the remarks, the culmination of which I
heard from the member from Mississippi. If
I understand the member aright, he intended
to impure—and did in plain and unparliaincn-
tary language impute— -to me an intentional
statement (pausing). The Senator does not
disclaim that ?”
Mr. Lamar—I will state what I intended,
sir. so that there can be no mistake.
The presiding officer (Mr. Cockrell) called
Mr. Lamar to order. _
Mr. Conkling proceeded: Whether I am
willing to respond to the member from Mis—
sissippi depends entirely upon what that
member intends to say and what he did say,
and for the time being I do not choose to
hold any communication with him. I un-
derstood the Senator to state in unparliumcn-
tary language that the statement of mine to
which he refers was a falsehood. If I caught
his words aright, I have only to say, this not
being the place to measure with any man the
capacity to violate decency, to violate the
rules of the Senate, or to commitany of the
improprieties of life, I have only to say that
if the Senator the member from Mississippi
did impute or intend to impute to me a false-
hood, nothing except the fact that this is the
Senate would prevent my denouncing him as
a blackguard and coward. [Applause and
hisses]. Let me be more specific, Mr. Presi-
dent. Should the member from Mississippi,
except in the presence of the Senate, charge
me by intimation or otherwise with false—
hood, I would denounce him as a coward, as
a blackguard and a liar. The rules and the
proprieties of the Senate are the only restraint
upon me. I do not think Ineed say anything
else, Mr. President. [Applause and hisses].
The Chair demanded quiet in the galleries.
Mr. Lamar—I have only to say that the
Senator-from New York understood me cor-
rectly. I did mean to say just precisely the
words and all that they imported. I beg the
pardon of the Senate for the unparliamen—
severe; it was such as no good man deserves
and no brave man would hear. [Renewed
demonstrations of approval and disapproval].
The Chair—The galleries will be cleared
upon repetition of the applause.
Mr. Conkling—What is the question before
the Senate?
The discussion of the power to send for
absent Senators was resumed.

thy with our ancestors, and at the conclusion

tion which now exists betweenthe two na-
tions. The historical address will be deliv-

The Boston Journal Washington special
says: “The Thurman men admit that Tilden
has defeated them.in Ohio. Had Thurman
been nominated and elected governor, it
would have made him a formidable candidate
for the presidency. Now should the Demo-
cratic ticket prevail, Ewing will resign to
take the seat In the Senate now occupied by
Thurman, and Rice will become governor,
Ohio Republicans say, however, that the
Ewing and Rice ticket will be badly beaten.
There are more hard—money Democrats in
the State than the Democrats are willing to
concede, and these men are so bitter against
the greenback heresy that they will either
vote the Republican ticket or not vote at all.
The Germans especially are opposed to green-
backism, and they are very strong in the
northern part of the State. Besides this,
Mr. Foster has always been popular among

The Prince Imperial Killed by
Zulus.
Loxoox, J une 19.——Telegrams from Cape
Town via Cape Vincent, report that the
Prince Imperial was killed while forming a
reconnoitering party, who were surprised by
Zn us.
Further advices from Cape Town via Ma-
deira officially confirm tho death of the Prince
Imperial. The Prince was out scouting with
an officer and six men only, and after search-
ing Mealie Garden for the enemy the Prince
gave orders to mount. The enemy being
concealed, then fired upon the party and
killed two troopers and wounded the Prince
who fell from his horse. The others were
compelled to abandon the Prince. On re-
ceipt of the news at headquarters Lord
Chelmsford sent a regiment of Iancsrs to
recover the -body, which was found covered
with assegar wounds. There is general
mourning at the Cape,and much sympathy is
expressed for the untimely death of the young
Prince. -

In the Coils of'a. Snake.
Hux'rna‘s Rance, J'une 19.—Flora Agnew
11 years old, has been visiting at the house of
her uncle,chry Burns. She has frequently
gone with her cousin to drive the cows to
pasture. Last Sunday her cousin was sick,
and Flora went alone with the cows: She
sat down on a mossy wound to rest. She
saw a huge black snake coiled on a cluster
of bushes. She screamed and started to run,
but the snake darted at her and circled
itself about her body. She cried at'tlic top
of her voice and ran, with the sun e draw—
ing its folds tighter and tighter ar nd her,
till she fell down with fright and exhaustion.
Her cries brought her uncle, who cut the
snake in two with his knife and released her.
It was some time before she could speak.
The imprint of the snake’s folds was left on
her body. The snake measured six feet 5
inches in length.
