The locusts filed away all last week until
it seemed as though their wings and legs
would come off. Smallthermometers every-
where busted. Ice was as scarce as straw-
berries in January, and everyone was bored
with the question, “Isn’t it hot 2’”
The Congregational society is estimating
on new heating apparatus—-steam, hot
water or hot air.
The last gasp in the series of fretful and
fitful breathings over the widening of Bail-

on the school house Two patriotic citizens
have promised to give the town such a
beautiful flag if the industrial parade takes
place September 1st. Why anyone should
object to putting the flag on a public school
house is a mystery indeed. It is just the
place for our flag, and it ought to float there
every school day aad holiday in the year,
for the school house is the training depart-
ment, to a large extent, of this nation.
Oii°Friday last Editor Kirk celebrated
his eleventh birthday as an editor. He has
regularly furnished the Messenger to an
increasing number of subscribers during all
these years. and his paper was never better
than now. tis easy for those to criticise
who do not appreciate the difficulties of
gathering news in a small town. \Vhen
they have had as much experience as Mr.
Kirk, they will take what they get and be
thankful for it.
The Rev. Dr. Hyde, of Honolulu, visited
with his sister, Mrs. Henry Olmstead, over
Sunday, the 31st inst. Dr. Hyde has been
engaged with the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions, in educational work, in
Honolulu, for a number of years. He has
been in this country since May, interesting
workers to enter the field, which is an
inviting one. He reports the work pro-
gressing, and hopeful, and he will return
early in September. He assisted in the
services in the Congregational church in
the morning.
"v'hether no-license is of any advantage
to New Canaan, and whether the law is en-
forced or not,_ may be judged somewhat
from the fact that it is reported that the
keeper of a large saloon in a neighboring
town offered to give a hundred dollars to
have no-license carried here. SO it must
be worth as much as that to his business.
We are sorry for this, out it it does show
where our drinkers get their wiskey 82c.
Young Stephen Hoyt has taken up ama-
teur photography, and some of his work is

Mrs. J. T. McKendrick gave a piano solo,
and Mrs. Hoyt, with her usual good taste
and expression, sang a soprano solo. The
entertainment was in behalf of the Sunbeam

Mr. H. B. Humason, of New Britain,
son-in-law of Mr. L. M. Monroe, has re-
ceived a unanimous call to the position of
General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., of
New Britain. This is one of the strongest
associations in the state, and although the
call is a very flattering one. and Mr.
Humason has it under consideration, he is
reluctant to leave the fine business position
which he now holds. His many New
Canaan friends congratulate him on his
splendid prospects.
Mr. J. F. Silliman gave his iar. . i ls a.
picnic to Boton Point on Friday last, which
they all enjoyed very much.
The picnic of the Baptist Sultan, school

There is a rumor afloat that a large shoe
manufacturing concern may rent the old

materialize. It is precisely the place for a
good live concern.
Whoever made up the present time table
for the New Canaan road probably has only
one eye, and that looking towards New
York. The accommodations are all that
way Anyone wishing to go east and stop
at any of the way stations, by the present
management, has to wait over in Stamford
anywhere from fifty minutes to an hour and
a half. If the person who made up this
time table tried to make the poorest arrange-
ment possible, (excepting half a dozen com-
muters or so.) his work is a howling success,
and he ought to have ,a medal.

()u \‘l’ednesday last, atlz o’clock noon,
in Trinitygcliurebmfiuiss Mary C. llydc,
daughter of George A. Hyde, waslmarried
to Mr. William J. Keeley, of San Francis-
co, Cal. The Wedding ceremony was
witnessed by a select assemblage. Rev.
Sylvester Clark tied the nuptial knot.
Mr. F. W. l’ari-ott was best man, and the
floral decorations were beautiful and ar-
ranged with much tnsle. After an in-
formal rcocption, which was held at the
residence of the bride’s parents, No. 43
Cannon street, the happy couple departed
on auwcdding tour, and on their return
will spend a few weeks in this city, after
which they will depart for their California
home. The wedding presents were beau-
tiful and useful, and included many from
friends in California. The bride is well
known in this city, as she was for quite a
number of years before going to California
the accomplished organist of the North
church. She hasircsidcd in San Francisco
for the past eight years. On their return
to the Pacific {coast they will take with
them the best wishes of their many friends
in the east.
Good news Was, received lately from
England by James Quick. an apprentice
with Dowhng & Bottomley, builders, of
this city, stating that an uncle in Ausu'alia
had left him it fortune of $200,000 provid-
ing he would lllL‘lL‘ to live. The young
man came to this country from England
about three years ago,
The plans of A. H. Beers, of this city,
for the new county home to be built in
Norwalk, have been accepted by the
board of management of the county home,
which consists of the county commission—
ers, Dr. Lindsley, of the state board of
health, and L. W. Wessels, of Litchfield.
Numerous plans were submitted, but
those of Mr. Beers were accepted subject
to certain modifications. The building is
to bc a plain structure, well ventilated,
and the heating apparatus is to be of the
latest improved patterns. The cost of the
building will be about $12,000, this being
the amount remaining of the $15,000, the
appropriation made by the general assem-
bly. The site cost $3,700, of which the
Norwalk Board of Trade paid $1,000.
The home will have all the modern im-
provements as regards water, sewerage,
etc. The writer is glad that this home is
going to be built in Norwalk. Norwalk is
a healthy town, and doubtless these un-
fortunate little children will be looked
after by the good people of the place.
Rev. Dr. Horatio N. Powers, formerly
of this city, but now of Picrmont—On-thc—
Hudson, arrived home last week with his
family from Europe, where he had been
sojourning for some time past for the
benefit of his health. Dr. Powers was at
Stanley’s wedding in Westminster Abbey,
and occupied a seat in the “Lantern,”
close to the contracting parties, where he
he could easily hear and see the entire

other for the G. A. R. encampment in

City Editor Bolande, of the Standard,

Rev. B. N. Dunning, of South Norwalk,
preached an all: and eloquent sermon
Sunday morning in the North church to
a large and appreciative congregation.
His text was Psalm iv. 3: “Know that the
Lord hath set apart him that is Godly for
Himself.” The design of the sermon, as
will appear by the following synopsis,
was to show that God has a special plan
in every person’s life, and that this plan is
worked out by developing and ennohling
each one’s peculiar individuality. It was
shown that in the scale of being, the low—
est creatures are most alike; a thousand
blades of grass, 8. thousand daisies, or
sparrows, or robins, show few or no
points of difference. But men and Women
are individual, each With a- peculiar face
and type of mind and soul. The highest
individuality is reached in moral and

Godliness. This gives man" his special _
man has his own form of sorrow, struggles
and sufferings to draw out of him his best
qualities. Mr. Moody first found out
himself, when he first found Christ.
God’s plan exalts and cnnobles you in His
own image. He “gives you a new name
as His child which no man knowetli save
he that receivcth it." Even in sorrow
and trial God draws His children closer to
Himself in the “fellowship of suffering.”
So that every one’s life’s business is to set
himself apart according to God’s plan by
becoming Godly or Godlike. Religion is
the most personal thing in the world.
How personal is repentance, faith, love
and hope! These are the points of'cou—
tact where your soul touches God and
God sets you apart for Himself.
