The Saybrook Bible Society held their
annual meeting at the NJ. E. church on
Sunday evening, July 49, The reports of
the secretary and treasurer were read and

value of books on hand at the beginning
ofthe year, $26 80; received from Co
Depository S2S 40; books donated 81 40;
value of books sold, 50 As; on hand, $2S
As. For two years the society has re
ouested the district agents TO gather GER
tain statistics of a moral and religious
character, and that request has been CON-
piled with by a majority of the agents
while canvassing their district, and are be-
lieyed TO be nearly correct. In the eight
districts heard from, we learn there are
III families, numbering $40 persons, 270
of whom are slnder 81 years; 231 of this
class are in the Sabbath school; 35S out
of the $40 are regular attendants on public
worship and only 43 out of III families
have daily family worship. The follow
ing officers aere then elected for the en-
suing President, Rev. s. w. Street
er; Vice President, Rev. Alden Walker
Secretary, W. S. Harris. Treasurer and
Depositor, J. W. Sims. Appropriate
piecrs were sung by the choir, and short
speeches on the Bible in connection with
the family. the Sunday school, and kim
dred topics, were made by Revs NJ Will

The duties of the collector at the Har-
bor have become such, as TO require that
he should be a resident of the port. Col
lector Watmongh gave the writer, who has
been Collector ofthe port Tor some two
years, thechoice of taking up his residence
among those outside fellows, down there'
or OF naming successor in office. Not
caring TO make change of residence. the
alternative was accepted. and after avail
ing ourself of the advice of some OF the
leading vessel owners of the port, the
name of Mr. MILO L. RICE, was sent in
and, passed upon favorably by the Col
lector, and his application sent TO the
Secretary of the Treasury for his appro-
val. The appointment was received on
Saturday last, and the appOintee was du-
ly qualified on Monday and entered upon
the duties ofoffice of Deputy on Tuesday.
This leaves the editor of the Telegraph
TO devote his entire attention again TO the
duties OF a private citizen.
Mr. Rice is favOrably situated to give
ready attention to the Increasing duties
of the Collectorship, and we doubt not he
will show ample efficiency and business
tact in the discharge of them.

Ed TeE-The Band Festival on the 18th
inst, was one of the. gay and pleasant
events of the season. The advertising
that the Ashtabula and Conneaut Bands
and our own, were to give musical
treat, with raspberry aud ice cream ac-
Compartments, called out a crowd. The
park was thoroughly lighted with torches
and Chinese lanterns, feature that had
been suggested and carried out by Mr. A.
B. Luce. That new band stand made its
worth known on this occasion. The
streets were literally jammed with vehi-
cles. We were all disappointed in not see
ing the Ashtabula band present. The ab-
sence of some of their members naturally
led them TO shrink from competition with
the other bands AT another time we trust
before summer is over, the arrangement
of meeting oGr Ashtabula friends may be
carried out. The playing by the respec-
tive bands present was highly creditable
and agreeable There was some dispari-
ty between them in equipment and in this
respect our Kingsville boys were at dis
advantage. The KingsYille band stand in
need of couple of hundred dollars for
the purchase of instruments.
: The relreshment tables were spread in
the Town Hall, at the north end of the
green, and were sufficient for the accom-
mediation 100 at sitting AT about 9
O'Clock the first sitting was made. The
abundance of the delicacies provided. was
due to the energy and foresight of he la
dies. A disturbing element was visible,
but it was restrained until after the enter
tainmeDt, when there was some evidence
of disorder about the streets. For this,
however, the members ofthe band were
not responsible. After refreshments there
was an hour of alternate playing-wind-
ing up with Hail Columbia by the two
bands. The receipts were something over
$50, which, with the merely nominal ex-
penses out, pans out very well.

SENSIBLE frankie Christie, the ballad
girl, who recently married son of Ad-
miral Jenkins, in Washington, as appears,
by statement printed in Sunday paper,
has notified the young man that she
will not live with him again until he is
81 years of age-two years from this time;
that, meanwhile, she will interpose no
obstacle to divorce, if he wants one ;
but that if at the end of that time he
wishes to accept her as his wife, she will
consent to be recognized as such. This
action she feels necessary, because the
Admiral, in his anger, has cast the boy
of, utterly disowning him. The girl pro-
tests that she will not be the means ui
bringing about permanently so unuatu-
raj a separation, which would probab-
ly result IN the total ruin of the addle-

abroad nearly two years, in a vain pur-
suit of health, but the news of his death
came with unexpected suddenness TO his
friends. He was native OF New Haven,
Conn, and graduated at Yale College and
the New-Haven Theological School. At
one time he was a tutor in Yale, and
while engaged in endeavoring to quiet a
riot among the students he received a
blow upon The head, from the effect of
which his life was put in peril for long
time and ali mental labor interrupted.
He was abroad for portion of the time,
but returned, and in 1850. he settled as
Pastor Of the Congregational Church Of
Bristol, Conn, where he remained four
years. He then accepted call to the

Since our notice of the dying of the
young Elm in front of the Congregational
Church, as was supposed, either from the
ants or the gas, a much larger sized
Maple, but few feet from it. has begun
to shrivel and is probably past recovery.
In searching for cause other than the
gas, on Tuesday last, by two or three gen
tlemen, it was found, upon rather minu te
inspection, that the bark of the tree was
perforated to the wood, by myriads of
small beelle-like insects, or borers, which
were detected by the fine dust. apparent
along the body ofthe tree and upon the.
ground at It's. base . Naples in other To-

Fifth Gift Concert, in aid of the Public
Library, which takes place July 31st
This immense sum is trust,fuDd, which
can only be used in paying to ticket-hold-

E. Bramlette. The man who gets the big
gift-$250. .0O0-will have an exceedingly

The next concert, which is the fifth and
last, Will occupy all of Friday, July 31si,
and the gilIs will be paid to the lucky
ones, commencing the next day, at the
bank. 1t takes nearly week to cash the
gifts.
That some idea may be had of the mag
nitude of this enterprise, and the interest
taken in il by the people, we state that the
receipt of three thousand letters per day
is nothing uncommon. Two-thirds of
these epistles contain money for tickets,
and the other third ask for circulars in ex-

edged before the office is CLOSED for the
