- BEDDING.
On Sunday, the 215t ~inst., Dr. Meyrouits,
in the absence of the pastor, Rev; 'J. O.
Munson, led in the public worship of God

races in Charter Oak Park.
It is becoming very dry. Water in the
watering places for cattle is failing. Wells
are low. The earth is hard and parched.
Grass is not flourishing. The crop of rowen
is light. In these regions there is a striking
contrast to last year. Late potatoes are suf-
' faring. '

Accident.
Three boys, Masters Hubert Bishop, Fred-
die Day, and Sam. Weed had a narrow escape
on Friday last while trying to drive under
the railroad as the cars were passing over-
head at the down-town railroad crossing
as the boys were returning from
Gregory’s Point. When about fifteen feet
from the bridge, the horse, frightened by the
cars, turned suddenly, upsetting the buggy
and precipitating the boys into the street,
fortunately the t0p of the buggy dropped as
' it tipped over or else there might have been
some serious injury to the occupants. The
horse dragged the buggy a little distance
when he became disengaged and escaped.
He ran about a quarter of a mile before he
was captured. The buggy was’broken in
several places. The horse and buggy b elong-
ed to Mr. Geo. G. Bishop.

WESTPORT.
Last week was a great week for pic-nice.
Wednesday, that portion-of the people of
Northfield, and it is no inconsiderable por-
tion, who worship at the Congregational
Church, assembled at Cedar Point, and al-
though no trees offer shade there, had a
splendid time. Next day the good folks ifi
goodly number. from Green’s Farms Con—
gregational Church, and from the Westport
Congregational Church hied to a grove near
Mr. Noah W. Bradley’s and Mrs. Cuttings
respectively. The enjoyment of the excur-
sionists, like the day, they had selected, was
as near perfect as it was possible to have it.
Also on Wednesday the schooner Remseu,
”Capt. “Eb” Allen, took a party of nearly
three hundred happy people from Southport
on a pleasant excursion.
The ladies of Memorial Church are active

According to the accounts of a voter
present, there was “a high old time” last
week at the annual school meeting in the
Cross Highway District. There is little if
any truth, however, in the story that whisky
and cigars were employed to influence voters
That idea originated in the brain of one who
is known ts be not altogether compos mentis.
To the suprise of that particular individual
Leroy F. Meeker was elected district com-
mittee, L. F. Fillow, clerk, and George B.

Friday morning persons residing in the
Bank building were awakened by smoke and
gas ascending from some lower room Scorch
showed that it proceeded from Mr. 0. I.
Jones' tin shop adjoining the First National
Bank. An alarm was given, all the village
bells rang, and the Fire Department respond-
ed, when it was found that fire had caught
in some mysterious way under a work bench
in the shop, and it was making rapid pro-
gress. While the work of putting the fire
out was going on, villagers in large numbers
assembled to assist, but failed at first to un-
derstand the nature of the alarm which
called them, as no flames or smoke were
seen outside the building. The germ of a
great confiagration had been planted, as some
suppose by the hand of an incendiary, and
though the fire was promptly extinguished
the heat from it melted the t0wn scales,
weights and measures deposited on a shelf
twenty feet away, the smoke ruining many
sheets of tin, and the nickle plate on all the
stove in the store. Mr. Jones estimates his
damage atjfrom $500 to $800, but he is all
right, being insured in a first rate Norwalk
company. Mr. Jones asserts that there had
been no fire in that part of the shop Mace
four o‘clock the previous afternoon,- or a
period of eleven hours, and that he is sure
that the fire was wholly extinguished long
before the close of business. There was
nothing near the bench alluded to, which
could induce spontaneous combustion unless
small bits of loose resin and a corked bottle
muriatic acid are so reckoned.

A good work has been started in Green’s
Farms, which might be imitated here, viz :
the clearing up of the briars and shrubs
which have been allowed to grow in the old
cemetery in that place. The Congregational
society instructed one of its good men, Mr.
William J. Jennings to take charge of the
matter. and the improved appearance of the
ground attests the thoroughness with which
his trust has been executed. Into our “old"
cemetery, and that at Poplar Plains it is
almost impossible now to force an entrance
on account of trees, grass and nameless
rank wild weeds which have sprung up
there Fences have tumbled down, moss
has appeared on all the slabs, and a stranger
passing might well exclaim, “What horrid
looking spot is that. and if some native by
way of reply should say,
our local burying grounds." the' stranger
would be warranted in hastening his pace,
and adding, “Weill if that is a fact take me
when the time shall come, to Kamtschatka,
or any other out of the way place, focbur-
ial.”

A Case that may become cole—
bratcd. ‘
Ten years ago the members of the Roman
Catholic parish of St. Anthony, in the eastern
division of Brooklyn, had a church of their
own. It was not a very imposing church
architectually, but it answered the purpose,
and there was not a dollar of debt upon it or
upon the plot of ground it stood on.
In an evil day, as they now think, they let
themselves be persuaded by their pastor, the
Rev. Father Brady, that the time had come
to build a new church—something large, fine,
costly, and worthy of the parish. When
Father Brady died in 1872, the contributions
had reached a total of about $20,000, a site
for the new church had been bought, and one
or two preliminary payments had been made.
The cash on hand, with the other property, '
passed into the custody of the new pastor the
Rev. Father Lane.
The clergyman took hold with a zeal and
energy that promised the happiest results.
He pushed the collections. He stimulated
the liberality of the parishioners. As nearly
as they can estimate it, they contributed in
the seven years of his pastorate the handsome
sum of $188,230. They cannot tell exactly
because the Rev. Father Lano kept the ac-
counts, and when, after a while, the collec-
tions still going on, they asked him to show
his books, he astonished them by meeting
this natural and reasonable request with a flat
refusal. This gave rise to so much feeling
in the parish that, about two years ago, the
bishop removed the Rev. Father Lane and
installed in his place the Rev. Father Murphy.
By this time the new church had been com-
pleted, and tho parishioners learned to their
bewilderment and dismay that they were
$189,750 in debt. '
The new priest put his shoulder.stoutly to
the wheel. He won the confidence of his
people to such an extent that in a single year
he" was able to reduce this indebtedness by
the sum of $80,000. His books have been
open at all times to the inspection of the par.
ishioners. But he has steadily refused to
furnish any information about the financial
doings of his predecessor in the pastorate, re—
ferring all questioners to the bishop.
Under a special act of the legislature, the
title to the parish property had originally
been vested in a board of trustees—the bishop
the Rt. Rchohn'Loughlin, the vicar-general
of the diocese, the pastor, and, two laymen
nominated by the three clerical members.
Before the Rev. Father Lane got through
financicring, an insurance company held a
first mortgage on the property for $75,000; a
second mortgage was held by Mr. Williams
of Williams &. Guion. The insurance com-
pany foreclosed and Bishop Loughliu bought
in the property. Then suit was brought on
the second mortgage, which had the bishop’s
personal indorsemcnt, and judgment, was
entered for the plaintiff. Then word spread
among the parishioners that the bishop was
about to put a fresh mortgage of $110,000 on
the property by way of indemnifying him-
self for his outlay in the matter of the fore-
closure and the suit, and that their owner-
ship in the new church for which they had
been contributing out of their poverty for so
many years had been quietly'wiped out.
. Naturally there was a commotion. The
parishioners averred that they had paid in
enough money, over and above the running
parish expenses; to build the new church
twice over. A committee waited on the
bishop. They did not get any satisfaction.
A committee waited on the cardinal. His
eminence gently but firmly declined to inter-
fere. Then the parishioners appointed a law
committee, and the opinion of counsel was
taken. Counsel opined that if a diversion of
the‘parishioncrs' money to other uses than
the building of the new church could be
proved, the guilty parties would be “person-
ally liable by suit and criminally liable by
indictment." . Matters were at this. stage
when the Rev. Father Murphy, last Sunday
morning. announced from the steps of the
altar that, if the members of the law com-
mittee of the parish persisted in their pur-
pose of bringing the affair into the secular
courts, the bishop had determined to excom-
municate them, withdraw the clergy from
the parish, and nail up the church doors.
It is to be hoped that the Rev.Father Mur-
phy misunderstood the bishop, or that the
bishop has before this reconsidered his inten-
tion. The parishioners believe and say that
they have paid in for the building of the new
church at least $174,000 which has not been
accounted for. They want to know what has.
become of their money; they have a right to
know, and we are glad to see that the threat
of excommunication has not shaken their
representatives in the purpose to find out.
In spiritual matters they acknowledge and
pays ready obedience to their spiritual in-
structors. But this is a question of business,
of dollars and cents: and as citizens the
members of St. Anthony’s congregation are
the equals of John Loughlin. If he has any
doubts on this point, this is a good time for
removing them. With all his gentleness and
unwillingness to meddle, Cardinal McCloskey
has the reputation of having plenty of hard
sense, and of utilizing it- on occasion. We
suspect, notwithstanding the Rev. Father
Murpy’s announcement, that there will not
be any excommunicating or nailing up of
church doors because several thousand Amer-
ican citizens, who are also good Catholics,
want to know whether they have been swind-
led out of their money, and take the only
way left them for finding out.-C’ourant.

Why He Laughed.
Detroit Free Press.
Several men were making purchases in an
avenue store yesterday, when a man who] had
been looking out of the window for some
time, turned and said;
“Well, that’s a bad case."
"What is it ?” inquired two or three at
once.
. “Well, I don’t know who is the husband
of this woman out here in the wagon, but if
I were he I’d go across the street and smash
that fellow’s head.”
G‘Why ?”
“Why, because he has been Working like a
beaver for the last half hour to get up a dit—
tation with her.” »
At this one of the men began to chuckle.
Then the chuckle ran into a laugh and finally
'he had to sit down.
“What’s the matter with you i’” was asked.
“Why, I’m—I’m that woman’s husband."
“Are you ? And you are laughing over
the flirtation f"
.“I—I can't help it," he said, as he went-off
into ahother fit. “Just think of him flirting
and a. [struting up and ‘down and it doing the

The havoc that one pair of owls can make
is shown in an item in Our Dumb Animals.
A brood of young owls were taken from
their nest and put into a cage. One (bed,
but a diet of beefsteak saved the others.
The parent birds go to them cvery_night and
leave outside their cage, dead bir‘ds,‘mice,
frogs, worms, and beetles. There is always
a full supply. At first they left the birds
without feathers, but now they take off only
the head.
H. N. Holmes of Salem, Oregon, shot a

day a flock of crows came and fed the dis—

companions, and in a few days it was able to
fly a considerable distance. It was recover—
ing so rapidly that Mr. Holmes caught it
again and was surprised to find that the
fractured portions of the wing had been
bound together with horse hair and had really
knit together.
Pulpit Notices.
It is not uncommon for strangers, supply-
ing a vacant church to find upon the desk
Sabbath morning, notices without date,some-
times left from the previous Sabbath, and
sometimes placed there to be given that day.‘
The Messenger of Philadelphia gives an in -
stance of a brother who had effected an
exchange, announcing the funeral of a lady
who had been buried nine months before.
The husband was in the congregation, and
had just returned from a wedding tour and
brought his second wife to the church for the
first time. What malie it particularly annoy—
ing to him and calculated to excite a smile
in the congregation was the fact that he had
been especially demonstrative in his recent
sorrow.
Anothcr‘ annoyance and embarrassment
to which a stranger minister is often subject-
ed is, the banding up, after the service com—
mences, in a very dimly lighted church, a
notice delicately written in a light ladies
hand, with a pencil, on a drab orétinted sheet
giving notice of some ladies benevolent so-
ciety at the residence of some one of a very
uncommon name. To decipher it intolligibly
under the circumstances is next to impossible.
Then there are notices of picnics with a good
time expected and invitations to all to come
with baskets of various kinds of provisions,
requests to state the price of tickets. ctc.,
etc.
Application. Date all notices. Destroy
them after giving them. Write them in a
plain bold hand. Don’t make the pulpit an
advertising office and the minister a cricr of
all kinds of recreations and amusements.

A Peculiar Trunk.
A big Saratoga was shunted on a truck at
the union depot, and as it struck, one of the
metallic corner—pieces flow across, while the
artistic smasher grinned his satisfaction.
The circumstance was not a notable one,
save as it suggested to a man who was wait-
ing the departure of a train, the adventures
of a friend of his. The gentleman was a
great traveller, and after observing the habits
of the baggage smashers in various countries,
he had ‘eonstructed a trunk of a peculiar
pattern. It was as near the shape of an egg
as the maker could‘framo it, and it was cov—
ered with sole leather.
with this trunk the smasher always treated it
with respect. If it was tossed carelessly on
the truck or the floor of a car, and other bag-
gage piled carelessly upon it, the first jar
would bring down the heap. In time the
cccentricitics of the peculiar piece were duly
recognized, and no matter what the haste or
confusion, it travelled safely on its shape,
always on top, no matter how high the'
mountain of baggage was built. The egg-
shaped trunk has already out-lived a score of
zinc—covered, metal—ribbed and corner-pro-
tected boxes, and still it is on the road, good
for the owner’s life-time.

pugning the reputation of that body for good

by a female corrCSpondent that certain mem-

tive confessed to him that,in accordance with
the wish of the accused men, he signed a
paper certifying that the charges were false
although he knew them to be true. “But,”
asked the correspondent, “did you not hesi-
tate to sign your name to a falsehood ?” “Of
course not, in a case of that kind,” replied
the Representative. “We must stand by one
another.” “But,” said the correspondent
again, ."did you not hesitate to place a lady

during the siege of Paris. One day the bread
was so abominable that he flew into a rage and
forced the waiter to tell him the reason,
which was that the city was besieged by the
Pr sians. Count Bertrand was stupified
for moment. At last he got up and wan-
dered about the hotel for a time, saying to
himself, “Paris besieged? besieged? what
ought a Bertrand to do ?” And, after-a mo-
ments’ reflection, he said, “I will go to bed.”
And he went to bed and slept out the siege.

There is a very pretty story told how a
lovely Jewess in a Russian town saved her
property and her life during the recent at—
tack upon the Jews. A great, hulking
rufiian entered her shop and bought a loaf of
bread. After swallowing a couple of mouth-
fuls he threw himself on the ground outside
the shop door and began to howl piteously
that he was poisoned—the Jews had poisoned
him. Of course an infuriated crowd instantly
assembled, and it would have fared ill with
our J ewess if she had not dashed out of the
shop and, snatching the bread out of the im—
postor’s hand, begun to eat in sight of them
all. The crowd stopped, thunderstruck. A
broad grin dawned on every countenance.
One of them called out to her: “Aolsha, lend
me your knout, will you 1’” Then the im-
postor started to his feet and scudded ofl,
pursued by a misebeivous but no longer san-
guinary crowd.

A Connecticut Invention.
It is possible that the little torpedo boat
Alarm may work a revolution in the construc-
tion of vessels for harbor defense. After
being subjected to exhaustive trials by a
board of experienced naval officers for seve-
rals weeks, an official report has been made
of the most enthusiastic character. The pe—
culiarity of the vessel is the Mallory wheel,
the invention of Colonel William H. Mallory
of Bridgeport, by means of which the usual
rudder is dispensed with, the screw acting
both as a propeller and rudder. With this
device the vessel can be turned as if swung
on, a pivot in less than half the usual time.
Where an ordinary steam vessel of the size
of the Alarm would require a circle of 1,000
feed to turn in, the Alarm turns on her own
axis without visibly moving from her posi-
tion. In the trials speed of thirteen and
one—half miles was attained, which with bet-
ter machinery could easily have been in-
creased to fifteen or sixteen miles. As the
report says it is indispensable for torpedo
vessels and rams that they should have the
power of changing their course instantly, of
turning and of backing—in brief, of manccu-
vering with the rapidity and liandiness of a
small boat with cars. This is perfectly ac—
complished by the Mallory screws, and they
are the only means thus far proposed that
will effect these ends. Lieutenant Com—
mander Brown, who has command of the
Alarm and who has superintended the tests,
expresses the opinion that the development
of this form of screw will be of great benefit
in any system of naval defense. He even
goes so far as to any that he considers the
little Alarm “the most formidable vessel in
our navy.” The report, satisfactory as it is,
is not surprising to those who have during
the past six years witnessed the operation of
the wheel. Indeed, the English admiralty,
nr‘tcr examining the workings of a little boat
which Colonel Mallory took to London
some two years ago. gave orders for the
construction of several boats to be fitted
with this steering and propelling apparatus,
thus antictpating the American government
in the adoption of this valuable Yankee in-
vention—Hartford Goumnt.‘
«GM
Pickpoekcts and other rascals made a bar—
vest dnring the Hartford races. Ex—Chief
of Police Packard found a man trying to
pick his pocket and arrested-him. Wednes—
day ohe of the sharpers following the race
horses played the “confusion” game at Dec-
ley’s saloon on Asylum street. He asked if
he could get a $10 bill changed, and after the
amount had been counted out. to him in
small bills, and the $10 bill had been placed
in the money drawer, he changed his mind
and asked the accommodating money chang‘
or to take out the $10 bill ngain,which, when
done, he laid the small bills with it and said
he would rather have a $520 bill instead. The
game generally confuses any one,and the $20
bill was forthcoming as readily as the $10
billhad been, and it was several minutes
after the fellow had left that the saloon
keeper realized that half of the amount he
took in exchange for the $20 bill was his
own property and that he had been swindlcd.

When deaths of’ young men occur from
not ignoble causes we feel a common sorrow
with afflicted parents. Such has been the
case with several of our Congregational
'clergymen’s sons lately. Advanced to years
of discretion and influence they have been
stricken down. We have in mind the two
Gilbert boys of South Norwalk, graduates of
Yale College, also sons of Bissell of Norwalk
and Cleveland of Granby. They were not
young men who had suffered their early
days to pass in lazy expectancy, but were
ever in the keen delight of advancing years,
redolent with the promise, of the future. It
is when we hear of a nin eteen-years-old boy
meeting with a drowning accident, as we did
a few days since, that we assert that there
was carelessness and imprudenee. At what
age a child may safely go beyond the family
circle cannot be stated. In the light of re-
ccnt touching events, the altar of prayer in
the morning for guidance and at the close of
day for thanksgiving may well be set up in
the hearts and lives of silk—Religious Herald

Ex-Senstor Howe, who recently buried
his excellent wife, has published this card
in the Green Bay Gazette :—
"To my Neighbors: I wanted to say some
things to you while we stood together by the
grave of my wife. But then I had not the
power of speech. Even now I have no
words which can fitly tell you what I feel.
Still, I must do the best I can to thank you
for your great goodness. So much as this I
can say: In the direst distress which could
befall inc, and when I could not, in my own
home, pay the last rites to one with whom I
had lived for nearly forty years, you threw
wide open all your houses and all your
hearts. The dearest friends could not have
done more,nor have done that more tenderly.
You literally covered her pathway to the
grave with flowers. If she is conscious of
this day, she knows now that she was belov-
ed as she herself loved. If she is not con—
scious, I will tell her of it in that 'Sweet by
and by.’ O. Hows."
Crops in the Shepaug valley are reported
as follows: Tobacco, which is the principal
money crop, is excellent as a whole, al—
though the cut worm has made more or less
havOc with the crop. The hay crop is above
the average,somc localities reporting a heavy
yield. The potato crop is very good and
better than last year. The corn crop is back-
ward and will probably be poor. In some
localities apples will be plenty, -while in
others there will be very few, but the general
run will be such that in most places there
will be a fair supply for home consumption
and no more. Pears are generally plenty,
also puts.

An Investment Security in Gold
Production.
The Union Investment aili
Promoting 00..
155 and 157 BROADWAY, New You.
OFFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthc Gold Gravel Hydraulic Cor, of Plumas
and Sierra Counties, California. This property
which has been a largely paying one' for the last
eleven years, is a co/nsolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the‘
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least 8300,000,whieh production it is proposed
tolargcly increase by the construction ofnew
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
ior extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Common Stock of the Gold Gravel Company,
which is not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it offers to the public at par,
shall receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock—atthe
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on the total capital stock of one million,
should not belcss than twenty-five per cent. The
Union Investment and Promoting 00., is a. Con.
nccticut Corporation with its chief office in New
York City. Its President is A. F..Wilmarth, the
Vice President of the Home Insurance Company;
and among its Director are J. S. Stout, of Stout
.52 Co. . Bankers, New York, Henry E, Russell. of
the Russel and Erwin Mtg. 00., New York, Geo
1’. Bissell,of Hartford, and James Bolter, Presi-
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest repute and financial standing.
It is admitted by all who have any acquaint-
ance with the subject that the placer gold gravel
beds ol‘Caiitornia, afford an entirely sale and con-
servative field for investment il' sufficient water
forli draulic operations is available Prof. Wm.
11’. I; akc. of New Haven and other experts ofthc
highest character have reported most favorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first asked by the cautions Ncw Eng-
luudirivestor: “Why, it this is. so good a thing
does this wealthy company wrsh to sell any of
the stock"-—it may be said that through thc_com-
panics’ agents and experts in California, it has
opportunities to use capital in similar invest-
ments which will pay the company fifty per cent.
whichis amordinnryrnte of miners interest. It
proposes to continue so long aspossible this
profitable use of mono while ~givtng the public
the advantage of pure astng n. twenty—five per
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
