Mir. and Mrs. David D. Meeker cele- hrated very pleasantly the thirty-sixth an- niversary of their marriage, last Saturday afternoon. Both their daughters, now married, were present with their families; also Mir. Sheldon Meeker and family, and Mir. Daniel Meeker. These three broth CTS stand on an average about six feet in their stockings, and came from stalwart stock as all know who remember Capt. Meeker. Mir. David Meeker has always had his home near his birthplace, al- though he has been quite traveller, hay ing visited the far West more than once. On very long journeys he has been known to use horses and railroads some. But journeys of moderate length about home, going alone, he frequently accomplishes on foot, and perhaps during as many as eleven months of the year he can be track ed by the apple-skins that he along the way. Of apples, 50 far as we know, he con- sumes not more than four quarts per day. Query. Has vegetable diet an effect on the disposition Are those who use it lessirritable and quarrelsome than others? If so we suggest to the clergy that they recommend to their parishioners such a diet, as peace measure in general and for their own sakes in particular, for NIT. Meeker is no quarreler. Mrs. M. is quite as as.peaceable and cheerful as her husband, Happily allied, theirs may have been one of the few matches made in Heaven. We rather think such is the case. Their old Pastor and his wife were present and it is needless to say enjoyed the occasion. He always enjoys such oc- casions. And he earnestly desires and hopes to meet the same parties on similar anniversaries for years to come. Mir. Stanley Williams and wife (daughter and son-in-law of Mir. Meeker]' ]'start.t this week, on journey to central and western New York for vacation and to see friends.

 During the first week in July the shops of the Eagle Lock Go. were closed for the purpose of inventory. On Monday. the 18th inst, the Thom- aston clock shops resumed operations, af- ter three months cessation, partly for repairs, and partly, it was rumored, be- cause sales for leash on the nair' were rather dull z-..t
 Among the deaths which have occurred is that of Levi Deming Markham, which took place in the early part of July. His age was AS years. He was a farmer residing in the southern part of the town, and was the son of Levi, and grandson of Jeremiah Markham, who was from Mid dletown. Jeremiah was Q Revolutionary soldier, and as such met with very sing ular and curious experience It is stated that ball (not cannon ball of course) was shot directly through his head, enter ing one ear and coming out at the other; and yet he lived almost half 9 century af- ter that occurrence. a-s .s- ss4 s3-

Christianity not a Creed.

My friends, i. what is the use of living unless you can better some soul, and bring 1t nearer to God? What gain like to this can the days give one? To cheer the Respondent; to lessen the grief of those who mourn; to draw by the irresist- ible attraction of sympathy and personal goodness the erring to your side; to im- press the fretful with the nobility of pa- tience, checking their noisy complaints by the gravity of your silence; to Tighten the burden of poverty pressing on so many backs; to supply the young with a worthy ambition,-this is to live. Woe to such as die unregretted; whose depart ure brings no moisture to eyes! Woe to the rich man whom the poor of his neigh borhood do not miss at death; whom the widow and fatherless do not mourn as a departed friend; whose departure is ad- vertised in the obituary of the press, and not in the sudden absence of little lux uries from the bedside of the sick. and needed comforts from the home of the poor! -. .z.-.s,.z szsxsi,7ssrs
 My people, am confident that I am correct in my analysis of Christian forces and results. The true evidence that you love God is found in your love for man. If you do not love your brother whom you have seen, how can you love God whom you have not seen? No ogreater mistake can be made than to suppose that Christianity is creed. Intellectual belief, however correct and biblical, is not piety. Christianity is a,principle. and not a faith. Faith interprets. and helps one to realize the principle, but can
 never supplant It. The desire of Christ is, not to get our assent to certain sys- tenn of truth; he wants assimilation of oul
 natures with his. The priest and Leyite
 were more correct intellectually than the Samaritan; and yet you know Christ's l judgment. The Samaritan was right iu his heart, but wrong in his head; while 1 the others were right in, their heads. but 1 wrong in their hearts. The one was bu-
 mane, but not orthodox; the e;others were orthodox but not humane; and, humanity won the palm from God, as it always viii. Love, remember, is the fulfilling of fhe
 law.--M,trray's Words FStty Spoken.

 Last week was one of stirring times for our quiet burg. The Fair at Norwalk, the Soldiers reunion at Cornwall, picnics, and would be picnics, made business live. ly at the depot; and the telegraph con struction train often awakened the echos
 from our hills. The farmers who had not previously secured their crops of to- bacco, felt very pocket-sore. when they saw the effects Of Jack Frost's Sunday night visitation. Some pieces were en- tirely spoiled, and generally the exposed tobacco was more than half ruined. Some mustered all the help possible. and cut the standing crop before the sun could strike it, but an experianced tobacco deal CT who was buying np some of the lots that were secured, advised the unfortun- ate ones to let the plants stand till the ex- tent of the injury could be seen, and then only hang the uninjured. @+,.-r..5.s.,. z....,l.
 Esop recorded the contest between the sun and the wind as to which could soon- est disrobe the traveller of his mantle, the sun being the victor. When Mrs. Clark's barn was burned a piece of tobacco near by was injured by the flames, the effect being about the same as the shriselling by the frost. An incident occurred at that fire which w. failed to record, but which being an act of real heroism is wor- thy of mention. After the lady who dis covered the fire had given the alarm, she noticed that the door in the upper part of the horse barn opposite, and near Mrs. Clark's own house, was open, and expos ed to the burning cinders. She ascended the stairs, shut the door and in total dark ness groped her way back on her hand and knees to avoid falling. A brave and praiseworthy deed to do. a.s = a55 bga
