In this year 187Is a more than ordinary degree of zeal and activity is manifested in some of our ecclesiastical societies. In Thomaston the Roman Catholics are building 8 church which, in size at least, will probably surpass any heretofore erect ed. In Trinity parish new and more commodiols editice that the old one is in process of erection. St. Matthews east Plymouth, is being to some extent remod eled, and is undergoing extensive repairs, under the management and at the expense of the Rev. Collis J. Potter {now of St. James church, Westville) who has already expended for the object more than one thousand dollars ;; large part of which he hopes to have made up to him at some future time. Just seyenty-six years ago, on the 21st of October, 1795, this church was consecrated by Bishop Seabury, who at the same time and place, ordained Bish- op Griswold to the priesthood.

WooDBgRY, Oct. 24, 1871. MR. EDITOR :--I should have sent you a word about our soldiers day, had I not thought some one else would write some thing better than I could offer. But there was one little thing about it that want to have noticed. Asoldier's wife made a cake, and frosted the word ssJewel' on the top. Her little son presented it, and it was received very gracefully by the Gov ernor. In the hustle and confusion con sequent upon the rain, he left it behind him in the church. ssHere," said he to the little fellow who followed him like a page, .sHere, Red White and Blue, will you go and bring ne my cake and boquet?'' No doubt after being so honored Frankly would like to see the thing remembered: therefore I wrote the following lines:

DryoRcrs u FnAncr.-The number of

DlNORCES IN I IhANCEs-1uc uumUcI oA divorces granted in France in 1869 was 3,056, or about one-tenth the number in proportion to population granted in Con- necticut. It must be remembered, how ever, that the classes which swell our di- vorce record, here, seldom patronize the institution of matrimony at all in France.
 The fact that divorce is oftenest sought by the wife against the husband, so no ticeable in Connecticut statistics, is shown in still stronger light by the divorce rec ord of France. Of the s;O56 separations granted there in 1869, 2,sl1, or nearly six sevenths, were granted on the application of the wife!

 PROHIBITION AND POLITICS. The Good Templars who met at Winsted, recently, passed resolutions fayoring the starting ef a Temperance party and nominating a Temperance ticket in Connecticut. We can conceive of nothing which would have a greater tendency to be1ittle 3 great, and } just now, 3 gaining cause, than imprudent action of that description. The thing was tried, last month, in Ohio and Pennsylva- mia. In the former State the principal Temperance candidate polled 4, ,0S5 out of 450, ,463 votes cast in the latter, 3,248 out of 556, ,87 votes cast; total, 1888 out of 1, ,O07, ,27Oi Are we to believe that the true Temperance men are in the eontemptible minority of one to one hundred and forty in those States, or did they repudiate the temperance ticket? If this were anew and untried reform, so small 2 popular en- dorsement might not be utterly hopeless, but Prohibition has been the law of many States for many years, and a demonstration of so feeble character only confirms the general impression of its impracticability
