CITY AND COUNTY.

THE FATHER MATHEW TEMPERANCE SoCI-
ETY.-This praiseworthy association Is enjoying
season of unusual prosperity, increasing in
numbers and strength. 1t of course finds con-
stanty widening field of usefulness in extending
aid to the sick members. The benefits paid out
during the spring have reached the sum of near.
ly $50 per week.
The increased animation and courage of the
society is greatly due to the very favorable act of
incorporation granted them by the late general
court; and to show their generous appreciation
of Rev. Mr.. Southers efforts in securing its pas
sage, the members, at special meeting held
last Saturday evening, presented him an eleg INT
silver tea service The presentation was most
appropriately made in behalf of the society by its
able president, Mr.. Richard O'Flyun, and after
grateful ackno Sedgment by Mr.. S, spirited and
eloquent addresses were made by MeSsrs. NJ Clus-
ky and Laverty, and by McFay, one of the vet
Grams of the society, q steadiast AMI honored
member from It's organization in 1859. A brief
review of its history was of great interest Its
early flush of prosperity, its subsequent trials,
the untinching devotion that had sustained it
amid reverses, the beneficent work it had accom-
t''~'AoNt
path, and blessing their homes with peace and
hope, were very wildly presented by the differ
ent speakers.
In acknowledging the unexpected and truly
generous gift Of the society, MIR. S. dwclt upon
the point that the hearty recognition of our
adopted citizens, the extension to them of priv
ieges common TO all, entitled the state to their
answering loyalty and devotion. And most
nobly are they meeting the claim. The Samein
stncts of patriotism which made Montgomery
one of the earliest martyrs of our revolution,
led Col. Cass to give his life in this new and
more terrible struggle TO maintain what the rev.
olution gained The Massachusetts, 9th and
Meagher's brigade had proved how deep and ar
dent is the Irshman's love of his adopted land,
how much he can sacrifice for her in her hour of
need. This mngling of blood in the carnage of
the battlefield is making us oae people; aud this
work of assimilation will 90 on Till the spirit OF
our free institutions shall be all pervading-no
eXclusiveness known, no caste permitted, no obi
um from distinctions Of race, no trampling upon
a fellow man. The society could learn this les
son from their beautiful banner, which bears not
only the portrait of the great temperance apostle,
but the good Samaritan, whose act of mercy was
TO teach us benevolcnce to ALL especially to those
suffering from the wrong or neglect of their
fellow men, In the spirit of the good Samaritan
and of Him "who went about doing gooI," let
us extend helping hand to all who need.
Congratulations on tbs increasing prosperity
of the society, and mutual determinations to
carry it onward in its benfcent career made the
whole occasion one Of uncommon interest.

SPENcER.-The proverbal benevolence of the
people of New England lately received another
and striking illustration in the prompt aid rem
dered by the inhabitants of Spencer towards the
relief of the furnishing districts of Ireland. In
very short time the handsome sum of STA 25 was
realized. This reflects the highest credit on the
donors, and plainly shows how sincely humane
and charitable are the much maligned Yankees"
when fellow beings are suffering, no matter to
what part OF the world they may belong. Would
that the like generosity were displayed by every
community in the land, irrespective of creed,
party feeling, or social position! If such were
the case, the heart-rendiug sufferings of the VIC

Is CONNECTICUT HAUNTED?-They have
been hearing strange sounds in Connecticut
recently. In Wallingford, on the morning of
the Sd inst, the people "were startled by a
rumbling sound like a loaded wagon passing
over the road, and soon after by a report like
the discharge of artillery. At the same time
ball of fire was observed to dart east from
the foot of the liberty pole. The pole was
shattered from top to bottom, the splinters
flying in every direction, and about twenty
feet of the pole fell to the ground" DIR.
Bushnell, also, Of Hartford, has heard Pc
culiar noise. on Monday evening, May 18th,
which he describes as follows
"a quarter before o'clock in the evening
was heard by many persons, and by some, as
l have as ascertained, in different parts of the
city, very strange, or strangely appalling

shudder OF sound, that filled the whole atmos-

ginning, such as we commonly feel in earth
quakes, and therefore it was probably unno-
uced by many. 1t came on with a SWELL and
continued with an almost even stress, while
the cars were running 60 or so rods, and there
was such force in the sound that the whistle
and changing noise of the train passing a short
distance of, were SO feeble as to be scarcely
noticeable; and yet the quality of it was such
that persons whose attention was occupied
might very well miss hearing it altogether.
But who ever once took note of it would most
certainly feel that natures deepest organ pipe
never shook the air with 50 strange blast
before. know OF no human or mechanical
agency that could hive produced such
sound If it was the effect of a subterran-
can force there was yet no shock in the
ground but only shock in the air. Was it
possible a natural phenomenon of the same
kind as the 'Moodus noises heard so oftnn
by the Haddam people long time ago"
