The Litchfeld South Consociation held its annnal council in the North Church, on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, at which there was good attendance of pas tors and delegates. The usual routine ol business was passed through, the reports from the several churches showed a good degree of prosperity, but revealed nothing of marked interest.
 The connection between Rev. Mir Tory and the church in Sherman was severed also, the connection between Rev. MT Williams and the church at New Preston Hill the first, failure of the pastor health the second, the opening of more promis- ing field of usefulness.

Slaughter Of Railroad rnnlovees.

 but from the haste or negligence ofthe en-
 gineer. The New York 7Ewes of Saturday records the following facts regarding this
 most frequent of railroad.accidents.
 .On the 22d ut. 2 brakeman was crush ed to death while coupling cars in Bening- ton, Vt. A short time previous Ancther met the same fate in Worcester. Mass La ter still, another.was cruelty killed in Jer- sey City, and during short period of time three men have been thus killed in Somer- vile, N. J.. Numerous other instanees might be cited, as but few days pass that an able workingman is not matflated .or killed in the performancelo of this duty that necessity ruthlessly exposes him to- h the ordinary manner of coupling cars a man must stand in front of the stationary car,
 while the engine or train is backed against Eit,-it being necessary to steer the link connected with the bunter of ions Car into the aperture of tho bunter of the. other, and force 8 pin through as the bunters meet. In case the shock of the cars breaks either bunter, the man is crushed. In case of too great momentum, and the stationary car gives way, the man is often hurled, from his feet and run over, thus adding variety to the style of death. It is therefore grat- flying that simple method which avoids the exposure of life has just been invented and, having been approved by leading rail- road men, is now being adopted This ia vention consists of simple link and hook, so constructed ss to act automatically, thus preserving scores of lives annually and greatly facilitating the shackiing Of cars. thereby economizing much time. "sI'5P 7 2
 A resident of this place, who formerly lived for many years in Massachusetts and worked in building just opposite one .oi the principal stations on tho Western rail. road, informs us :, that, during the time, he was there, 7! eleven i brake. men were killed within sight of ahii place of business. in the various ways men toned by the 1imes. The railroad compa- ny generally made presents to the families of the deceased. bat it was not liable in law. as is the case when passengers are in; jured. x Y sgss sd .BoG ssai -5i
 r is strange that this matter of the slaughter of railroad employees should have attracted so little attention. If the coupling can be effected in the manner described above, ought not our Legislature to pass law compelling railway conapa; nies to adopt that or some other nesnsso1 avoiding the terrible and unnecessary risk to which their brakemen are now exposedI

Progress in Europe.

The excitement in Great Britain regard ing the Irish Church bill has broken out afresh upon the determination of 3 caucus of Tory peers to reject the bill. They have a majority of nearly 8 hundred in that House, and have the power to reject the bill if they dare use it. But, on the other hand, House of Commons has been elected on that precise. .issns with majority of about one hundred and twenty in favor of the measure. The press unite in advising the Peers not so put themselves in opposition to the people and, in case the bill is re- iected. Mir Gladstone will probably request the Queen to pforogue Parliament and ap. point . salficient number of new Peers to ensure the passage of the bill. We can hardly believe that the House of Lords will bs so foolish as to carry out their present determinationa They have gone far enough, already. to be made sensible of their weak. ness before the Commons and the people, and wil1psobably be wise now, as hereto tV1Ss HI cvaSSA'- AA S1cJ Aou6 SOAhuuo " make themselves nuisance they will be abated. gniqod moGy gajsslb
