CORNWALL HOLLOW.

Now. MT. Editor, after having paid fly ing visit to Cornwall Hollow, I am done. And here am in Cornwall Hollow, drop. ping the silent tear over the grave of the lamented Gen. John Sedgwick. John Sedgwick was born in Cornwall Hollow in 1913, and inherited from his old grand faith. CT (Gen. Sedgwick of the Revolution) zeal for military renown. When the late Re bellion reared it's 'hidra -head'' Gen. John Sedgwick was early in the field, and while stationing battery at Spotsylvania Court House, Va., May 9th, 1864, a bullet from the gun of Rebel sharp shooter sped through his brain. And am proud of the fact, that John Sedgwick, little freckled, pale faced boy, was scholar of mine in Cornwall Hollow, more than fifty years ago The splendid residence he has left, and the beautiful marble monument erected in that secluded graveyard, are worthy of the memory of Gen. John Sedgwick.
 Adieu dear old Connecticut.

The keeping of daily journal, which, after the lapse of quarter of century, is an old and dear friend that cannot on any account be given up; and the various du- ties, labors, cares. anxieties, hindrances, vexations, and such like, which each suc- ceeding day is sure to bring forth, must be your correspondents apology for not being more regular in his communications He hopes to do better in the future, but dare not make any certain promises on that point.

The hour appointed for the meeting was o'clock, at which time the congregation assembled, but owing to an imperfect knowledge of the way on the part of both the Bishop and the individual who brought him over, he did not arrive here until about half past three. Mean. while the assembly were entertained with remarks by the rector, by the Rev. MT bishoP of Thnmaston. and especially by the Rev. Dr. Clark of Waterbury; aud also by extra singing; and had just been dis missed when the Bishop arrived. The number confirmed at this visitation was unusually small; only two persons receiv ing the rite. The writer was not present, as usual, to witness the ceremony, and to hear the Rt Rev. fathers incomparable Amen. .' Preserving happy medium between the enthusiastic and riproarious amens of some of the backwoods methodist, on the one hand, and the feeble-alas too feeble ones of large majority of village and city wor- shipers, on the other, the Bishop speaks forth in plain and sensible manner, and with pleasing effect. Your correspondent has often though that he could patiently witness half days confirmation service, for the purpose (not to name any higher motive) of listening to the melodious amens. In uttering them with true mu- sical eIoquence.
