S3 Bromley of the Hartford Post conti,

. Bromley of the Hartford Post contin- ues knocking the Democracy into ''Splin- ters." The following are few specimens:
 Notwithstanding the efforts of the police tostop the thieves at Baltimore on their way to the inau ugration. Eve learn from the World that thirty seven members of the New York common council got through and are in Washington.
 The Norwich Adcertiser is ''gratifed to know that President Johnson leaves the chair in good spirits" We glad that he goes out in as good spirits" as he came in. Let them be good, but not too much of them. It was the quantity, rath- CT than the duality, that upsethim four years ago.
 delegation of the New York common council have a profound admiration for Washington. Not so much soldier and Statesman but be- cause Che would not tell a lie."
 s'Bll Converse, the Democratic candidate for Senator in the Eighth district, goes for ''making mtelli asnd character the basis of suffrage You can't fool William on great principles. He clings to them no matter if they disfranchise him.
 The Bridgeport Farmer says there was no diff ference of opinion in the Democratic Convention "as to who should have the honor of laying out Mir Beardsley." Such confidence is refreshing. But it reminds us of the lively young man on Mississippi steamboat. who deserving long, lank gaWky Hooking fellow on the dock as the boat came up, remarked to his fellow passengers that he'd
 have some fun out of that fellow" So jumping ashore as the boat touched he drew g. long knife and putting on look of savage ferocity approach ed his customer with fearful imprecations inform ing him that he was 'just the man he'd been look ing for" The oountrymen looked at him with a kind of sleepy curiosity ti sho' got within arms length, when he took his hands ont of his pockets, way, and sent the joker overheard in about ten feet of Water Putting his hands back in his pock- CTS in the same sleepy way, he looked up to the passengers gathered on the dock and inquired "Is there anybody else on this yer boat that's been looking for me?" So some times it happens that the wrong man is selected to be ''laid out"

Upon cautiously entering he was agreeably surprised to find 100 of his friends present bound to have good time. A kitchen dance was at once inaugurated and all went merry as q marriage bell until the wee sma' hours. when the weary guests departed, leaving behind them q substantial token of their regard, and accompanied by the invi- tation of Mrs. W. to come again, bring their trunks, and stay week. ., <...4 - t.l Ion Tuesday ev ening of this week, we went to ''Ten nights in a Bar-room, SUI perbly acted by our Dramatic Association.

Trinity Church. Milton.


 There were but few churchmen in this part of Litchfeld, in the early years, but after time number of families conform ed to the Episcopal Church. On applica- tion, in 17sS, the First Episcopal Society voted that they might build . chapel .in Milton. At the commencement of the Kectorship, of the kind Truman Marsh in l799, the people had been favored only with occasional services after the forms of the Episcopal Church. He, however, agreed topreach for them one fifth of the time, in accordance with the terms of an agreement made at the time of the re-un- Ion of the Parish at Bantam with the First Episcopal Society. @ >~ '' >' \ .
 The Church was raised on the 25th of June, 1902, covered and fitted with bench es, but not finally completed until 1926. It was consecrated by the Right Rev. Thomas 0. Brownell, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese, on tue 18th day of August, 1887. q 5 In 1903 the Society voted to divide the Rectors' services equally between the three churches. ' %+f. A@ae} In l843, Messrs. Hugh P.

Our Minister to Havti.

Sometime since, certain statements, pub lished in the Ladepsndent Presssof Fort Jef- ferson, N. T., refecting on the conduct of our Minister at Hayti, were very generally copied into the city papers, and into those of this State. Wears informed that those charges are entirely without foundation. So far is it from being true that Mir. Hol- lister and Salnave have any business rela- ,tions together, we are assured that they have met but once in three months. So far, also, from the Ministers neglecting the case Of the ~Edward De Hart, he took a great deal of pains to. assist the captain of that vessel in getting his claim allowed and paid by the government. The article in the hdependent Press was written by the mate of that vessel before the settlement of that claim. We are assured, also, that the charge against the D. s. Consul at Port au Prince, in the same article, is equally without foundation. 5I usb0sss98 T E .. Il When the bombardment of Aux Caves was expected, Mir. Hollister visited the place in the U. S. Gunboat :" Yantic," did all he could to protect the American citi- zens resident, in that place, F and. caused 2,0O0 women and children to be towed out into the harbor in merchant vessels, be- yond the reach of shot and shell. 1 I.1 1
