Jan. lath, last. Editor of Thovfientinel: My daughter sends me The Sentinel: of January ll, with a marked article of the burning of the merloxlugtoa on Long Island Sound..lanuary is. 1840. This retro- spective review of that and event utility: seven years ago brings up before me the terrible and heart-reading wanes of that awful event, as most fully described in the papers at that time. I was at that time fifteen years old, living at home on Bmhy Ridge, New Canaan, Conn. at my father's, the old Caleb Benedict homestead, now occupied by a Mr. Dow- ney.‘ This ridge is one of the highest points of land in Fairfleld county. The night was clear and cold. I was sliding down hill from the ridge with some other boys. when, about 7 or 8 o‘clock, a most brilliant light loomed up in the south western horizon, near Stamford. At first we thought it was a fire in Stam- ford. but from we soon saw it mov- ing east there. and we all came to the conclusion it was a steamboat on fire. This ridge is seven or eight miles from the Sound, commanding a clear, unob- strnotive view of the water for thirty miles or more. The steamer passed eastward toward Bridgeport, and the Sound. with the adjacent connty‘dirootly south, was aglow with the most brilliant lusture, during an interval of about two hours, before it became extinct. At the centre of this magnificent out- ward scenery. tbe walls and awful shrieks of the inmates of the burning steamer, Were said by those who saw and heard them, to be beyond the power of the most descriptive tongue and pen to describe. There was apoem, "The Burning of the Steamer Lexington." which I often heard my wife repeat while she was alive, over thirty-three years ago. It Wll‘) a beautiful, soul- stirring description of that and event. and I would like to see it in print again. I came here with a son last April Wi- had a wet sixuson, and the excessive rains about ruined the out crop. The corn crop went about thirty bushels to the acre, while a good crop goes fifty bushels and more. The hard times and low prices the past year under Cleveland made the farmers despondont; but the election of McKinley and the early resurrection of npmtective tariff make their cheeks glow with hope, and an assurance that the future is going ta) open up to them a good demand and We are having an open winter and higher temperature than usual.

Force of habit created a sensation at a baptism at the Baptist church in Middlc~ town, Sunday. Two or three members were admitted to the church and a pub- lic baptism followed. One of them has the habit of answering every question needing an affirmative reply by the ex- clamation, “Shore, Mike." This habit has become so fixed that he unconsciously uses it when it is wholly out of place. He entered the tank under the platform of the church with the pus- tor, and in reply to a preliminary question as to his belief,blnrted out‘ 'Shure, Mike.‘ The reply came pretty near spoiling the solemnity of the occasion, and even the deacon smiled.
