Mr. Anderson for three-quarters of an hour, and which consists of excerpts from the young people, and a ten minutes lecture room talk from the pastor. It is usually crowd- ed, and is very familiar and free. "Well, how were the ladies dressed ‘2” was asked at one of the clubs, of a member who had just come in from a verv fashionable dinner party. “My dear follow,” he replied, "I really don’t know. The fact is I didn’t think of look- ing under the table.”.-New York Tribune. This is on a par with the case of a cer- tain young lady who. on being asked by a friend, “Where have you kept yourself?

The 42d annual statement of The Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, which is published in another column, like all the statements of this corporation, is of interest of the atatisticlan, the political economist and the student of social science. The accumulation of more than $108,000,000 of assets, a surplus of over $12,000,000, and the distribution in a single year of nearly 314,000,000, or over $46,000 every business day in the year to policy holders are facts-which are full of meaning, and produce practical results. No man can measure how many homes have been brightened, griefs assaugcd and hearts revived by the beneficient opera- tions of this great conservator of trust funds which, his practical way, accom plishes the good for which it was founded. With all its powar the Mutual Life is but an association of individuals, each policy holder baring an equal voice in the man agament, but it is the perfection of the mutual system as applied to life insurance. Mr. F. S. Winston is the able and popular president of the company. --————¢-¢>——~——v Bossa Shot by a Woman.- O‘Donovan Rossn, the Fenian dynamite agitator of New York, was shot by an English girl 25 years old,last night.

During the ringing of the bell at the Congregational church, Sunday morning, the tongue was broken. Should it not be heard this week it will not mean that the meetings have closed. They will continue and it is expected Rev. James W. Hub- bell of Danbury, will preach. The outlook at the Congregational church is favorable for a revival of great magnitude. During the past week about twenty-five persons have expressed a desire tobecome Christians. The interest is great and constantly-increasing. Many young men are among the number of those interested. This week Rev. Charles E. Upson will have some brother clergyman from out of town to assist in the revival services at the church. After preaching each even- ing there is a short prayer meeting held. One of the most cfiicient workers in these meetings is the new Sabbath school super- intendcnt, Mr. James C. Gregory. As Capt. S. E.

The Me h dis. revival has developed so much interest that meetings are held in the day time as well as evening. A large number of conversions are reported. Last week, the suppression of skating rinks, as a stumbling block. to the progress of the revival, was made a special subject of prayer and discusslon. The concert by home talent, given in Flsher’s Hall, to benefit the Nor-walk hitters, last Wednesday night, was at. tended by a crowded house, as might have been expected, the entire community being in sympathy with the cause. The proceeds, after deducting expenses, amounted to about $75.00, which makes about $400 in the aggregate, 5an from this town. Henry Williams, on old Bethclite, familiarly dubbed “Detec,” on account of his periodical delusions which he calls “clues,” and which he pursues with stealthy caution, has been undergoing the desperate operation of having his left eye taken out and a cancer removed from behind it. The operation was ‘ performed in New York, where he has been for the past five weeks. It will probably prove fatal. There is considerable righteous indig- nation among the batters, occasioned by the inadvertent remark of the daughter of a prominent physician, which is supposed to have been an echo of the sentiment of the family. Just prior to the benefit concert the young lady referred to, meeting a lady singer who was to assist in the cnocert, snrcastically remarked: “Well, I hear you are going to sing for the benefit of Mo dynomuera." The indignation of some over the remark was made evident in threats of boycotting the head of the house. The News Bethe] correspondent sings the praises of George Shepard for his ofler to build a block to be rented as a post office. It Is indeed, as the correspondent says, a public spirited offer—a philan- thropic, self sacrificing move that will pay from 15 to 20 per cent. per annum on the investment, and so safe that none of the local investors in Rolling Stock, “Jack’s" beneficiaries, will probably be asked to share the risk. Mr. Shepard’s public spirit is further shown in the fact that he is one of the'petitioners for the horse railroad to connect Bethe] to Danbury, another chan~ nel by which the money of the town can be poured into the vaults of Beantown merchants. At present the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad gives opportunity to go to and from Dahbury only four or five times a day, and the stage twice a day, to say nothiugof the facilities for pedestrians, and it is found that these conveniences are not aumcient to accommodate our citizens, who sometimes, from lack of traveling facilities, find themselves obliged to buy their necessaries here in town. A home our line, making a trip every half hour, would obviate this diMCulty, and enable home merchants to shut up and go fishing once iua while. Besides, it would be a productive source of revenue for the stockholders, which, of course, is a secondary consideration—if it is a con- sideration at all—with such public spirited, self sacrificing philanthropists as Mr. Shepard. Some kinds of “public spirit" benefit number one primarily, and the dear public incidentally—or accidentally. Houseman. Dr. Todd is around again, after a severe siege of sickness.

Northrop has a cactus plant nine. teen feet in circumference, containing 112 blossoms. It is as gorgeous as a school- girl’s picnic dress. A whole regiment of converts graduated from the “anxious seat" at the Methodist revival last week. In deference to the interest in this revival, the “Key Club" keep their castle barred. Ridgefield will swarm with “chosen people" from the churches of neighboring towns on Thursday, the 12th lush, when a fellowship meeting will bc held in the Congregational church. There will be preaching, conference and prayer meek lugs throughout the day and evening. I understand a dancing club is being talked of, and will be organized just as soon as the prime movers can concoct a penalty for errlng members, outlandish enough to maintain our unexcclled rep- utation for diabolical punishments. One of our school teachers, I believe, is the committee on inquisitiono. The gifted Press man, after consulting a Mother Goose almanac, took out his pencil and figured on his liver pad a. mathematical problem which proves con- clusively that February has “four out and out weeks" this year. This scientific fact is a blessed boon to a deluded world, in that it explodes the erroneous theory that Febmarycontslns threcinaud out months. An alarming number of our citizens are sick.

Mrs. Orrin Flatt of Umpawaug had a finger amputated last week, because of a. bone tumor. Dr. Benedict performed the operation. A merry party of ladies and gents from Danbnry came downs few evenings since, and gave John Clark a surprise party. They ate, drank, sang, played and danced until the wee sma’ hours warned them to wand their homeward way. It was a social success, so voted by the guests unanimously. ' A lyccum is being started by the young men of this place, which will be a source of profitable amusement for the long evenings. There is Considerable good talent here, which is fully capable of handling in an artistic manner any ques. tion it tackles. ' . WINNIPAUK. Comrade John McAnaspie of Post No. 1, G. A. R. of Philadelphia, and late schoolmaster on board U. S. S. Essex during her late cruise, is visiting his sis. tcr, Mrs. Maurice Powers here. The cruise of the Essex was a pleasant and eventful one. She left Langc Island, No. vcmbcr B9, 1881 and arrived in New York December 30, 1884, having traveled dur- ing her trip 53,648 miles and entered 58 ports. She was the second vessel (Amer- ccn) that ever entered a Coma port. Comrade McAnaspie brought home with him large quantities of curious, interest- tng and valuable articles from the-vari- ous countries visited during the cruise, which with the usual generosity of the sailor he has presented to his friends. -—————¢+>-——— Robbery in Reading.
