The small Pox i'm West Haven.

There have been five deaths in West
Haven during the past winter from small
pox. Four among two French families
living at the extreme south part of the
town, known as the Elbow. AS they were
entirely isolated from the other inhabitants
it spread no farther The other was Mr..
Harry Kelly, who lived in the extreme
west part of the town. He was exposed in
Whitehall and taken sick while at the town
meeting, which caused much alarm, and a
general stampede for the Doctors to get
vaccinated. Several families living neal
him were exposed before the disease was
recognized, but thus far none of them have
been attacked with it.
Mr.. X. was buried March 10Th. His
family were promptly and thoroughly vac
cinated and are all well as yet So We
have now no small pox in town, and il
seems probable shall not have. The alarm
has been the means of quite general vac
cination, which will diminish the danger Of
another exposure

one or more of family of six would have
persisted in the flames. For at the time
the little girl was awakened enough TO
arouse her sleeping parents, the fire had
made such progress that the entire upper
part of the building was completely envel-
oped and the floor to the chamber, and
ceiling underneath were burned entirely
through, and stream of live Goals was
actually pouring into the room below
where two or more of Mr. NJ. s children
were sleeping. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that no time was lost by the family in

The Congregational Council.

New YORK, March 20.
At the congregational council last even
ing, Rev DIR Storrs of Pilgrim church pre-
sented his statement He began by stating
that he and DR. Buddington were friends of
Mr. Beecher when the latter came to the
city, and it was with profound regret that
they observed that they could not stand
uron the same platform with him now.
Congregationalism is founded on the word
of God. This council was to determine if
a member of the church can cease to be q
member the moment he places his foot out
side the door. The speaker read extracts
from the Plymouth church manual regard
ing members connected with the church.
No such case has ever occurred in his
church, and under the rules no such case
could occur 1t was the duty of church
members to investigate charges against
their pastors, if the latter failed of their
duty. lie blamed Plymouth church for
dropping member from the rolls without
first having an investigation Of charges by
the committee. and its pastor for not deny
ing articles of defamatory character
which were published about him. Rev DIR
Burlington then made his statement of the
case He dwelt upon the responsibility of
Plymouth church, said the Plymouth
manual showed from its principles it was
opposed to Congregationalsm and also OPP
posed to the communings of Christians
with the church. He read extracts from
letters between committees of the resptc-
tive churches, and concluded by saying
that IN these days of corruption in our gov
eminent and halls of legislation, if we were
not to have purity in our pulpits what was
| to become of our boosted civilization
The council then adjourned until this morn
ing.
The council remained in private session
from three o'clock in the afternoon until
six o'clock in the evening, in the church al
Avenue, none but members of the council
admitted.
At six o'clock recess was taken until
eight o'clock,
In the afternoon session it was stated
that the greater portion of the time hat
been occupied in the discussion of the mat
ter, and reading over and comparing the
testimony taken.
Moderator DR. Leonard Bacon presided
A subcommittee was appointed, consist
ing of Messrs Leonard Bacon of Philadel
phia, Charles Russell of Boston, Professor
W A Stcarns of Amherst, and Professor
Calvin Day of New Haven, to draft {
statement of basis of advice for councils
of both churches. This committee wai
said to be Il Storrs and Buddington com
mittee and was appointed by the Chair.
1t was generally thought that they woult
sustain the action of both churches. The
council resumed its session in the evening
shortly after eight o'clock, and discussion
was again taken up. The committee ap
pointed at the previous session reported
their statement, and on motion 1t was lait
on the table.

The loss to L s Merrill of this town,
