DEAR SIR
ttWhat has become of all your New Haven cores
pondents' have been looking for letter in your
paper from the old City of Films for these months,
but have looked in vain. II is certainly not be-
cause there has been no interesting news to COM
municate, for we have had abundance of parties,
elopements in high life marriages, Miller excite
ment, &c, and since no one has given a sketch of
them for your valuable paper, have ventured to
drop you line or two.
There is quite excitement going on hero at
present in regard to the second coming of Christ
Brother Miller was here few weeks since; preach
ed several days without any success He was. how
ever, fortunate enough TO convert a rrety smart Lii.
tie fellow, named Mansfield, halter by profession.
ana about Il years of age. Since Miller left little
Mansfield has been preaching every week. day in the
large Methodist Church, corner of Church and
Grove streets, for the last three weeks and has met
with much success. For the first two weeks his
converts were mostly among the fair Sex, but for the
last week ne has made quite a sir among some of
our first citizens. Two of our dry goods merchants
and one hardware merchant, were among the con-
verts the last week, and they have already begun to
close up ,heir business to prepare for the Glorious
day. Parson Camp has been preaching for the last
few days In the large room in Burney's Building in
answer to the doctrines of Miller, and has quite
large audience, particularly in the evenings. He
hnGs, however, quite a rong current to stem.
There was a grand wedding party came off in
Temple street last Monday evening, and in my next
shall give you an account of IT, The happy pair
were Mr. Albert S. Atwater and Miss Clarissa Land
craft: MT. a. is young man about 39 years old,
and Is considered here quite wealthy. He was in
business IN Buffalo, and made the major part of his
properly there and retired just before the great crash
IN 1910. Since then he has been residing in New
Haven, where he has enjoyed his wealth in good,
RATIONAL, and social way and now TO cap the climax
OF his happiness and prosperity, he has led 10 the
hynenia altar one of the most lovely and beautiful
damsels that New Haven could ever boast of. We
call them here Prince Albert and Queen Carssa,
ana am sure they are quite as worthy Of the title
any OF the royal blood OF Europe
We have had quite an interesting course of lee
lures here this winter on animal magnetism, by Mr..
Henry " Lewis, young man from Zoar, in this
stare lie mas been very successful, indeed, in his
experiments, and has convinced some of the most in
credulous that there is some truth in the science
Mr.. Lewis graduated at Old Yale in 1885, and took
the second honor Since then, his whole time has
been occupied IN investigating this science and he
appears to understand the subject perfectly. He in
tends visiting your city in the course of few eeks
and have no doubt will create quite sensation
there's Tor he is certainly the most fluent and interest
ing lecturer ever listened to.
In my next shall give you an account of the
grand elopement, grand wedding party, and also an
account OF one OF our monthly balls, 10 take place
next Tuesday BY the by, can't YOU lust pop I'D here
one day with Mrs. Bennett and Napoleon, jr,, and
attend one OF them? 1t would be quite rich treat
Tor us 10 see you up here.
must not close this letter without writing a word
IN commentator of your excellent agent, Mr. Pease
He is just what he should bean obliging and at
tentlve agent and don't know that can Say more.
he appears TO be getting fine run OF business, and
we think him worthy OF it, Youn,
