 Loyal Leagues" of Litchfed County:-
 DEAR FELLow-W oRKERs; When, several months since, ill health compelled me to relin quish my little share in your efforts, without even farewell letter to many of you, it was with heart full of satisfaction at the thought that your warm hearts and active hands would carry on efectually and steadily the benevolent work with which you had identified yourselves
 and that over our whole Country the same spirit of untiriug bepevolence would never sui. for the wants of our brave defenders to remain unsuppied. The immense sums gathered by the Great Sanitary Fairs seemed also to prom ise so much! But alasi the very largeness of the sums appears to have nearly proved the ruin of the cause for which such exertions were madel For, after all, it is the little riverlets, constantly flowing in from every side, that amounts to the most in the end. The box of stores from each small Society coi,tai ns art- eIes worth to the Commission five times their original ntoney-eest at home. The patchwork quilt which cost you little bat the afectionate laboE you bestowed upon it. is "money out" to the agsncy which must buyit ready made. Yet when we heard of the hundreds of thousands suddenly poured into the lap of the Sanitary Com, it was patuEal, vas it not 7? 10 considel |thas esr small ceatibations woald be insigni

fcant now. So-with an excess of modesty--- the little knots of women, who had labored with hearts full ofslove and anxious desire to help in 30 good and noble cause, folded their hands not from discedragenent- as those who had no more work to do. , Those who had known and felt how aveas was the aggregate amount of their labors, fore. saw and deplored the sad effects which would follow from the suspension (let us hope 1t is not the eessdtion) of their efforts. That these were not over-rated ia proved by a statement in one of the recent daily papers, that the great, world-honored, Christ-like benefeencs of the Sanitary Com. must soon be brought entirely to close, unless these small Societies of noble women whose noiseless efforts first gave 1t its power of help aud healing, will again step for. ward, and enable it to con tinue its mission.
 Shall this Charity, so often pronounced to be the greatest and noblest since the world iegan, be allowed to fail now. when the need for it is even greater than ever before, and when too, the bright gcams of returning peace seem to promise the speedy approach of time when it can honorab'y "rest from it's labors''s
 The decrease of the receipts of the Sanitary Com. is not, as many might suppose, because it's brother and friend, the Christian Con-, gets so much more, for the income of the latter is uope too large for the work it has undertaken neither is it because the people are poorer or are tired of giving; it is simply because they have thought that there was DO longer need for their exertions. Friends, do not let us longer allow this fatal notion to tie our handsl But let us continue and redouble our efforts, each one feeling as if her single hand was absolately essential to the life of the cause. ..
 Although feeling that my health would not permit me to do justice to the interests of the Commission iu Litchfeld County, compelled me to retire that there might be room for soms more efficient worker than I could now be. 1 have ventured to take this method of greeting all you who are old friends with word of ex. hortali1 1n and cheer, and of speaking to some too, who though perhaps strangers by name, my feel with me, that common cause which has claimed the best love of your hearts, has bound us with chord or sympathy and fellow. shlp which can never be broken.
 Yours. respectfully and sincerely,

SKETCH OF ADMIRAL FARRAeUT.-Admira David c. Farragut is native of the State of Tennessee, ntld is now about sixty-two years of age, From his boyhood he has been conhect.- ed with the navy of the United States, his war. rant as midshipman beuring date Dec. IT, lSlO. He was adopted by the late Commodore David Porter, from whom he received his baptismal name, and with whom he served on board the Esser In the memorable engagement hetween that vessel and two British sloops, the Phebs and Cherub, off Valparaiso, in 1874, he greatly distinguished himself. and very narrowly escap. ed with his life. For his brave department oh that occasion he was specially commended to the Department. During the years 1921, 1922, 1923 1924, he was employed in cruising after pirates in the Caribbean Sea, and distinguish. ed himself by most efficient service and gal. lantry. He was for some time in command of the Brooklyn, at the Vera Cruz station. at the time of the mission of MT. McIane to Mexico. He has been twice married in Norfolk, Va, and is stated to be the owner of large property in that city but before the outbreak of the re. bellion, he removed his family to cottage on the Hudson, from whence he was called to ac. tive duty in suppressing the rebellion. On March l9, 1862, Capt. Farragut was confirmed by the Senate to be flag officer in command of the Western Gulf BlockadIng Squadron.---
 His history since that time is fresh in the minds of our readers. The unparalleled naval
 battle in April, 1862, on the Mississippi River, the passage of Fort Hadson batteries with his 'iron hearts in wooden ships" the glorious passage of the forts at the entrance of Mobile Bay, the capture of the formidable ram Ten- raessee. and the almost utter destruction of the rebel fleet in those waters and the other noble deeds that he has accomplished, do not need to be recapitulated here. He is, doubtless, the most daring and successful naval officer of the modern age. He is very modest, always cheer. ful and affable and warm friend to his friends

From the Sunday School Times.l THE DYING LIEUTENANT.

h recent letter to the Sunday School Times, from City Point Hospital, Va, prom ised to write soon of a dying Connecticut lieu tenant, who was then very near his end.
 had often seen him as passed through the hospital tent, engaged in my duties as dele gate of the Christian Commission, but had never particularly noticed him for he always seemed so quiet that had not marked him as one who suffered much from pain. He had been shot on the 22d of June, the ball entering his right breast, and passing through the left breast under the heart. At first he did not consider himself dangerously wounded, and thought he might recover. He was brought to the hospital on the 24th. On the afternoon of the 18th, went into the tent and foand that he had made up his mind that he could not live. Feeling that his wound was mortal, and having received assurance from the surgeon, who was Christian man, that he had not long to live, he gave what money he had to the surgeon, to have his body embalmed and sent home to his mother, who was a widow in Con necticut. After giving directions about his clothing, sword, and other things, which were to be sent to his home. he composed himself and turned his thoughts towards Heaven. The surgeon and tried to comfort him, and ! at the Eeutenant's request read and prayed with him, and sat down by his side to con- verse with him. I found that he had long been a Christian. As those precious lines !" Jesus, lover of my soul" and Rock of Ages cleft for me," were repeated, he followed with his weak but earnest voice ; and when that humble confession was made in the words ol the poet,
 In my hands no price bring,
 Simply to thy cross cling,
 He burst ont, o, that aH would cling to that cross p Then he repeated in calm and trustfnl voice, < Though 1 walk through the valley of the shadow of death, will fear no evil for Tn, R- with me, T hy rod and Thy staff they comfort me-"
 I remained with him that night until an hour past midnight; the early part of which he suffered intensely, as his wound had com menced bleeding aeresh, and for two hours could not be staunched. At the end of that time theopium powders began to take effect and the pain in measure left him. And vel during all of that suffering not a murmu, passed his lips. He moaned because he could not help 1t, and then was full of solicitude for those in the tent with him, saying, am afraid these men won't sleep much for my restlessness." lie would converse, although desired him to desist as it increased his pain but he felt as though he would say all he could, knowing that soon he would be gone. Among other things he said. When VI frst want into Camp DuttoD, at LitcbGsId Conn., nine of us formed ourselves into pray
