though we'll played by Mir. Phelps. It failed especially to give any adequate SUD- port to the somewhat sepulchral style of MT. Gould who, like most choir basses, had lost all hope in this world. and look ed none too cheerfully to the next The readings by MT. Jepson were good the recitations, especially the s' Ride from Ghent to .Aix," excellent. The audience seemed much pleased, throughout, and the '.deadheads" were especially enthu- siastic. A serenade by the quartet after the concert sounded very sweetly. We hope to hear the Club again.

 It is astonishing how much timber it takes to make Congregational church. When Dr. Smith used to speak with so much pride of having helped build the Saybrook Platform in the war of 1872, we always imagined he exaggerated its inn portance.

While we hope such fears are groundless, we would re- commend little increase of vigilance We are informed that an ex-clergyman of l Woodbury is doing great work since his retirement from the pulpit, in influencing young men to join temperance societies. The Lodge. of Good Templars, there, is hedging about young men, who otherwise might fall an easy prey to the temptation of the seducing cup.
