IT IS BETTER TO BE A MINISTER
THAN AN EDITOR.
"Testimonial to Rev. B. 8. WIII‘. Formerly
Editor of the Sentinel.
Mrs. \Viug Also Remembered.
The following account of an event
which will he of interest to a large num-
ber in this city we copy from the
Muscutine Daily Journal of November
31.4 :
“The social wave whose brigh .
through the week has bee ollowed,
broke into uhe splendor of white caps
and a crystal spray and rolled up the
beach with the music of many waters
at the public reception tendered last
evening to Rev. and Mrs. H E. Wing,
at the vr stry of the First M. E. Church.
It was the i-iilmlnntlng event of the
week. ranking in the testimony it bore
not alone to the private and social
excellencies of the recipients but to the
high purpose and stainless devotion to a
service which has no precedence or
rivalry in the esteem of mankind. The
recession of ours-firms, whose lines
rad formed all over the city, was re-
lieved of over-apparel at the extempo-
iizeddressirrg room :ittltc left of the
vestibule. and was greeted ou the thres-
hold of the vestry by Mr. and Mrs.

wine's admiration of the heroic ertdur~
whee last evening of the delicate lady
who stood by his side. But it had its
RETREAT FOR THE INSANE.
Dr. Steal-Ire Annual Report.
The annual report of the officers and
managers of the Retreat for the Insane
in Hartford shows that during the fiscal
year-106 patients were admitted, 65 of
the members being males and 41 females.
There were 18 deaths during the year.
only 5 of the number being
females. The whole number, of
tients under trvatment during the‘,twelve
months was 240. f the number 133
were males. The number in the Re-
treat, March 3ist, 1885. was 146, 75 be-
ing males and 71 females. “The number
of admissions," says Dr. Stearna in the
report. “during sew-ml years past has
increased a few every year, and the year
just now closed has not been an excep-
tion. Ninetyeeven were admitted last
year, and one hundred and six this year;
the whole number under treatment last
year was two hundred and tweut '-three,
and this year, two hundred an forty.
The number of admissions, therefore,
amounts to more than forty~four per
cent. ofthe whole number under care
and treatment. and corresponds with
poet experience in this reepect. .
AVERAGE Stimuli PRESENT.
“There are few, if any. institutions in
the Country." says Dr. Stearrrs, “in which
the admissions are enlarge in proportion
to the capacity. The daily average nun -

iion had 106 new patients. This. of
course, indicates a rapid change of pop-
ulatiun. and it will be noticed that no

Mrs ll. l‘. \Valtx. had taken the place of

(tenth-men : We are happy to meet you

this occasion. but we have no intention
whuiever'of allowing him all the honor
and lest he betuo vain. too much puffed
up and soar higher than is his habit. we
will have him divide the honors with
his better half. and as we unceremoni-
ously refused Sister \Ving a seat in our
council lilt‘t‘tlllx Sunday afternoon, we
feel under obligations to explain the
mystery of such conduct. “X! will

token of the high esteem in which y it

us in the presentation.
The service consisted of a
swinging sillver pitcher. with goblet
and silver. all beautifully chased.
There was silence for a space. All
eyes were on Mr. Wing. and where
should he turn his but to his wife‘s, and
who shrill measure the strength that
came brick in him from those wells of
sympathy! it was after some despers
riteswallmviug, however. that a smile
broke upon his face. and about the
same moment encouraging words

eluted that is was hardly fair for the
ladies who had had time to pre
their beautiful speeches. to fire t cm
at him. in ambush as it were. and ex~
pect him to: respond. He had agood
speech at home, suitable to such occa-
sions. and he was sorry he hadn‘t
brought it. Then. freeing himself from
the surprise and embarrasments of the
situation be returned in a brief. effec
tive manner the acknowledgements
which manift-etly came warm from his
heart. Concluding. he remarked that
Mrs. \Virig could speak for- herself.
Mrs. Wingreepondcd in tasteful words
of appreciation and hoped in closing
that her donors would share very great-
ly in their gifts. by feeling that it was
more blessedto give than receive.
Mr. Wing said he would take the lib-
erty of add up that if it was more blem-
ed to give than receive, his friends must
be having a right jolly good time, which
was red with laughter and cheers.

kinds are less enduring. and persons
have generally teamed from the experi-
ences of life to accept disappointments
as largely the lot of mankind. For these
reasons we should expect a less number
of attacks of acute insanity among the
old than the young.
CASES OF RECOVERY.
There have been twenty~eigbt cases of
recovery during the year ; a percentage
of .26 on the whole number admitted,
and of nearly .50 upon the number of
acute cases. This is lea than has
occurred during any year since Dr.
Stearns‘a connection with the Retreat,
and is to be accounted for by the classes
of persons admitted, as before explained.
It is well understood that the percentage
of recoveries must depend upon the
conditions of persons admitted as to age.
cause of disease, length of time it has
continued, etc. etc.
There have been eighteen deaths dur-
ing the year. a percentage of .7 on the
number under treatment. This is less
than last year, and larger than during
some former year-a. Ten, or more than
half the whole number. were past 60
years of age: twelve died of organic
disease and old age.
Mr. Staub Herricmbereii.
At the meeting of the State Firemen‘s
association last August a series of reso-
lutions wi-re adopted acknowledging
the service rendered by Senator Staub,
of .\'e\v .\ltlfurd. in sitting a law through
the legislature appropriating $5.000 an-
nually for the benefit of disabled lire-
llli‘li. The resolutions beautifully eu-
grosscd and elegantly framed were pris
settled to Mr. Sraub, last week. Thev
read as follows: ‘

Four patients were under 20 years of
size, and tweutv-two were above 60.
that is. more than twenty per cent.
of all admissions. It is Dr. Stcarns‘s
belief that so hit-gen \er cent. of ad-
iiiissious ammig elder y persons never
before occurred during anv year of the
history of the retreat. From 13.10 to
1851. inclusive, the per cent. of similar
sinus above 60 years. was only .04. From
1855 to 1859. inclusive, it was only .05.
During the year will it was only .06.
in 1875 it was ten per cent. and in the
quiuqueunial from 1375 to 1879". was
.12, and only a trifle less during the ten
years from 1875 to 1884. inclusive. The
percentage of admissions of persons
above 00 years. during the last ten years,
has consi erably more than doubled. as
compared With that of the ten years
from 1850 to 1860 or an earlier decade.
This large increase of a missions among
elderly persons may be due to any one
or more of several causes. it may pos~
sibly indicate that more old poo e be-
come insane than formerly. 0r t may
be due to the fact that friends and rela-
tives are at the present time lem tolerant
of the eoceutrictttee and peculiarities of
persons affected by a decay of their
mental faculties ; or, again. it may arise
from the fact that, owingto the increase
of longevity during the last twenty or
thirty years. there. exist in communities
a larger number of persons relatively to
the whole population, who are past sixty
yarn. from which to recruit members“

.\ 250th .hiniiersury at \‘tiuuforil.
The i‘ongregational church at Siam~
ford will celebrate its 250th anniversary
on December ‘2‘2d. The Advocate says:
“The celebration of its 250.11 anniversary
by the‘oldest church of any denomintr
tion organized upon Connecticut soil can
hardlv fail to be an occasion of excep-
tions interest. and an interest. . too,
which will not be confined to the circle
of the congregation, nor to the limits of
the town of Stamford itself.“ The Cen-
ter church at Hartford, which celebrated
the same anniversary two years ago, was
not formed here. but in Massachusetts.
though it was almmt immediately re~
moved to Hartford. The Advocate
further says: “We learn that at least
the initial steps have been taken to re.
place the Congregational church build~
mg by a new stone edifice worthy of the
church‘s ancient and hdnored standing.
and of the intimate relation of its long
history with that of the town of Stam-
ford. This is indeed an inspiring enter
prise—a noble cone-e tion in the bud
which we trust will ossnm into accom~
plisbment in connection with the
church‘s celebration of the anniversary.

“at Forming Machines.
R. A. Beliien. of this town, has just
secured through the oflice of A. M.
Wooster, Bridgeport, two very valua-
ble patents. relating to but forming
machines. It is of course well known to
those familiar with the art. that the
central support and gearing, by which
the turntables are rotated. have been a
matter of serious inconvenience. as the
mechanism was ex naive, ditiicult to
kee in repair. an very noisy. Mr.
Bel en has devised a whollv novel con-
struction. which enables him to dis-
pense with a central support, and also
with gearing. in the new machine, the
current of air passes straight through
the exhausted tube. and is not broken,
or made irregular on account of the vol-
lava and their bearings the
turntable being placed on the I ~‘ of
the tube. There is no escape of air. and
no opportunity for dust to collect and
clog the machine. The turntable is sup-
ported and carried by rollers placed
on the outside of the tube. Numerous
detaileof construction combineto ren-
der this machine agreat improvement
upon all others of its class. The other
invention has for its object to prevent
formation of dogs and dust in the
