 For many months, two sisters have been lying on sick-beds, in that stricken home, while no ex- precision butof cheerful resignation escaped their lips or threw shade across their countenances At length, the younger, having been an invalid the shorter time, was summoned away from this scene of trial and suffering Most applicable to her case was the inspired declaration, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord" friend of the family has written the following touching lines as trib. ute of affection:
 MARY ELIZABETH
 "Part back thy mantle, fringed with green,
 Broidered with leaf and blossom
 And lay her tenderly to sleep, Dear Earth, upon thy bosom" Dear Mouners, lift your eye of faith
 Beyond this darkened sky,
 Behold the place of meeting,
 Where no sorrow aims the eye: Remember 'tis your Father deals,
 In tenderness, the blow,
 And bless the Chast'ner, though He cause
 Your tears awhile to flow. Bring flowers, sweet flowers, whose bursting buds Their purest odors shed,
 (Her life as brief and beautifully
 To deck her 1owly bed. And you, her loved companions, view
 With chastened grief, the rod, And know the pure in heart, like her,
 Alone shall see their God. A.

News of the Week.

FOREIGN. news from Italy, contin- ues to be of the most exciting character. The faithful and immediate execution of the September treaty for the protection of the Pope has been demanded by the French government, and troops have been em- parked at Toulon, ready to sail for Italy; and it. is reported that the Italian govern ment were allowed twenty-four hours to signify their submission to his demands, or Napoleon would begin offensive opera tons. On the other hand, the people and press of Italy are carrying their enthusl- asm for Garabaldi and the Roman invasion almost to the verge of revolution. Ratazzi has resigned, and Cialdini was given the formation of ministry said to be favora- ble to yielding to the demands of Napole- on. The latest reports indicate that these demands will be complied with, and that the revolution in the Roman States will be suppressed. Garabaldi is reported to have escaped from Caprera. The reports from the Papal territory are conflicting. The Pope is said to have received reinforce ments of volunteers from France and Spain, while, on the other hand, it is af- frmed that the Roman Council have pre- sented petition to the Pope, signed by | F, ,000 Roman citizens, requesting him to

 Rev. J. D. Potter, the Evangelist. las he styles himself,) abruptly closed his la bors on Wednesday the 18th, with the Churches in West Winsted. His reason for doing so, he stated, was that the citi zens did not close their stores and shops and come out to hear him. He took his departure on the noon train of that day, Why he should go so abruptly is mystery to all, as the Church had been crowded thus far during his stay. Many of the people in West Winsted are very much dis satisfied with him, and do not think he treated them in very Christian like man. ner He returned, on the urgent entreaty of Rev. MT. Walker, Pastor of the lst Congregational Church, to the East Street. and held services upon Sunday last but as matters again did not go to suit him, he left that portion of our borough by the first train on Monday.
 Quite deep religious interest is mani fested in West Winsted, and union meet ings are being held. They have prayer meetingsin the morning, and preaching in the evening. A number of persons have manifested a desire for the prayers of Christians.

NEW MILFORD Oct. 19 1867. | EDITOR LITCHFIELD ENQUIRER: l send you herewith the actio1 Of the Cong. Church in the case of J. J Conkin the defaulting cashier of the 1s National Bank of this place. It is the onl, action which the church has taken. There were no meetings of church members, ot members of any kind, before which MT, Conklin appeared and by whom he was ad vised to evade the consequences of his criminal conduct. The first report which appeared in your paper was wholly errone. ous as far as it represented the part which the church had to do in respect to this case. As it has been copied extensively by the press and severely commented upon. I trust you will do what you can to correct the false impressions which have gone abroad.
 The truth is the church and the commu- nifty have been censured harshly without just cause About dozen individuals were all that knew of the matter till Mr. Conklin's departure from town. Admit ting that that dozen were delinquent, how can the community be held responsible for their wrong doing?
 l have no disposition however to enlarge on these things. Whenever the facts are known the innocent will be vindicated from the injustice and abuse which have been heaped upon them in connection with this affair.
 The following is the action of the church taken yesterday.
 :" Whereas, J. J. Conklin deacon of this church. has been guilty of grave crime against the civil law, and has brought grevious scandal upon the cause of reli- gion in this community, therefore,
 Res0tUed, That J. J. Conklin be dismiss sd from the office of Deacon of this church. Resolced, That J. J. Conkhn be suspend, sd from membership in this church until le has given satisfactory evidence of repen- ance of his sin" ,s.,
 Respectfully, D. MURDOCH.
