There has been for the past three weeks series of meetings held in the M. B. Church in this village by Rev. W. s. Bou- ton, assisted by Rev. J. H. Lane, of Ca naan, and Rev. A. Coons of Millerton. Able and interesting sermons have been preached to quiet and attentive audience,
 but alas, how strange is life It comes freighted with rich stores of sympathy and love and at each port leaves treasure of light and joy, yet men are laden with self ishness and bitter hate, steering clear of each green islet. not willing to yield to the voice of God. The Sunday school has closed for the winter.....A good teacher should possess with other good quslifica- tions, certain degree of knowledge con- cerning human nature. This will enable them to judge of the various dispositions and characters of those who may thus be placed in their charge. They should pos sess cheerfulness, firmness. patience and promptness of decision. Then at once they will command the respect and gain the confidence of the pupil; also it should be their duty to impress the mind with the necessity and importance of punctuality, neatness, order and regularity. A teacher possessing these accomplishments will sell dom fail of success. However difficult to
 find the combination of these elements, they were found in the past term in Miss Eleanora Oandee, and to use the language

Wednesday evening. Oct. 7, MT. and Mrs. E. F. Scoville gave reception to their nu- merous friends, which was really very pleasant affair......The refreshments were off the top shelf. the dancing enjoyable, the music first rate, and it seemed to be the wish of all present that Mir. and Mrs. s. might live to enjoy a goodly number of such anniversaries.... Greeley and Brown meeting on Friday night passed off nicely. The music was good. The sing ing by George Hughes was we'll chosen and finely rendered; the speeches were all good and attentively listened to......Politics run high. "George A" and J. Mallinson have made the following wager: If Greeley is elected Geo. A. is to wheel a wheelbarrow from this 1place to Geo. K. Peck's hotel, Falls Village, and if Grant is elected Joe is to perform the same feat. We imagine we sec Geo. A. vending his weary way along under ''Terra Diddle," while Joe, "with a smile that is bland" awaits the arrival ot the wheel barrow at Pecks hotel. A dele. gation from this place will accompany Geo. A. with refreshments. H. G.

 A serious accident happened on the af- ternoon of the second day of the fair at Great Darlington. As John s. Spencer and lady, of this place, were driving up from the fair grounds, and when near the Pope place the horse became unmanage- able by the pitts breaking; there being no nosepiece on the head stall. From that condition of affairs it slipped over his head and became more dangerous. The horse kept the road until reaching Great Barring ton, when near the post office it took to the sidewalk, and after reaching Church street the horse turned the corner shortly and capsized the carriage, throwing them both out in the mud and water. The horse was thrown and held down by some one near, until released. MT. s. had only a slight scratch in the face, but Miss Lucy Whitehead was severely injured, there being two ribs broken, deep cut over the left eye, which was sewed up, and she re- ceiyed other injuries. She is now improv- ing and doing well under the skill of Dr.. T. Giddlngs, the carriage being but slightly damaged. ......The house and farm tbat was advertised and sold at public auction near the Congregational Church on Saturday last, and owned by M. B. Bradley, of Hop kins, Mo-, was bid off by Newton D. Van Deusen and Theodore G. Ramsdel. They think some of running street through it, and surveying it out into building lots, and offer it to the public for sale. It brought $l725. K.

 The annual meeting of the Litchfield North West Conference of Congregational Churches was held in this place on Thurs day of last week. The following churches were represented: Millerton, North Ca- naan, South Canaan, Falls Village, Corn wall, North Cornwall, Warren and Sharon. The following churches did not respond when called on for their reports; Norfolk, Salisbury, Ellsworth and Kent. The day was one of Autumn's loveliest and it was hoped that all the churches included in the Conference would be represented. When the members of our churches are less easily wearied in we'll doing we suppose the work of Home Evangelization will be pressed forward with more vigor. The following came before the Conference, and were dis cussed with much interest by the pastors and delegates present ''The need of more personal christian influence. How may it be more fully developed in our churches" ''Are church members under obligations to attend the weekly prayer meetings of the church ?" "How can the talents of woman be best employed for the edifcation of the churches ?" Systematic Benevolence. The need of more liberal giving in order to the life and activity of the churches" ''Congregationalism in re- lation to organization and christian effort. , Nathan, son of John Jewell, was a member of the Second Conn.

His funeral was attended on the day of the above Conference and lessened somewhat the number in attendance at the latter place. There was, however, 8 fair audience and indications were that those composing it went away feeling that they had spent g pleasant and profitable day.

What \ Know About Vineland.

MR EDIroR-Your correspondent Bent ley either knows very little about. Vineland or is disposed to keep what he does know to himself.
 It is now about seven years since was there, but even then there was more evil dence of thrift and prosperity, and more houses, churches, school houses Ec. than MT. Bentley could see in passing through fom a car window. His article is dated at Vineland, August 2l, 1872, thus leading people to suppose him to be resi- dent of the place.
 1 visited Vineland in September, 1864, and found first depot built of adobes or sun dried bricks, neatly .plastered outside with a mixture of cement, clay and lime, and SO laid off as to closely resemble blocks of granite. The building l should judge lto be 3ox4O feet, conveniently ar ranged inside for ticket office, passenger rooms and freight. So much for his $75 depot.
 Directly across the way was large ho- tel, while on the opposite corners were stores (dry goods and hardware) and but a few rods away was wagon shop, a smith shop, sash, blind and door manufactory, besides about dozen private residences, and all within sight of the depot of the | West Jersey railroad.
 The farming is necessarily confined tc the raising of small fruits, denomenated by Jerseyites as ''truck," and experience has proved that no class of farming pays bet ter than raising grapes, strawberries, rasp- berries. blackberries, peaches, melons sweet potatoes, &c., and although such ar ticles might not be desirable as gegular diet l cannot see why they may not be readily sold at remunerative rates Tn the New Y Yorh and Philadelphia markets, for it is not tc be supposed that any class of farmers ex- pect to eat all they raise. One class may have hay farms and yet never saw one who could or would eat hay.
 From Sept. 10th, 1864, to Sept. 10th, 1865, there was put up and finished BOG houses, some of them small while others were large and commodious, but all were built in substantial manner and with di- rect reference to the Uants and abilities o the builder.
 A friend of mine bought ten acres fo $500, built house which cost with it surroundings $500, without lath or plaster ing. He was offered Jan. 1st, 1861 $l,5 800 for what had cost him but $500 and refused. However, this may be bu an individual case and all the rest of Vine land may be ready and anxious to sell fo less than cost. BRADSHAW.

of the Jordan & Smith patent are largely manufactured by this company. The cast ings are from the malleable iron works of Futile 6 Whittemore, of Naugatuck. The peculiar advantage of this wrench is that the strain in use does not come upon the thread of the screw or upon the handle, but is received by gland or step between the screw and the handle. The work on these wrenches is done by machinery mainly, consisting of milling and drilling, broaching and dressing, and every part is case hardened.
