I'd 7d-Wnl you allow me, in behalf
of myself and family, through your pa
per, TO acknowledge with gratitude, the
generous donation visit made US, Dec.
2eth. at the parsonage of the M. E. Ch.,
in SaybroOk, by my congregation, with
others9
The attendance was full. the people
cheerful, and the donation good. The
young men of the cOngregalion-not
members of the church, but regular at
tendanis-presented me with very fine
overcoat, and the ladies presents1 wife
with most beautiful shawl. In all, they
left US in value, $21O, for which the do
nors have our sincere thanks.
The people OF SaybroOk cease not in
kindnesses to US. They gaYe US most
cheerful and hearty welcome when first
we came among them. They met US at
the parsonage, en- nlGsse, and furnished a
most sumptuOus dinner, smiled, greeted.
and spoke words of cheer and made US
feel at home before we knew them. As
we come 10 know them, We find them a
warm, cordial and generous people-full
OF sympathy and interest for their pastor
and his Iamily-always inquiring after
their comfort, and eyer doing something
10 make them happy.
Our lot is pleasant One-our home a
beautiful and convenient one. The main
part of the parsonage Is new. just finish.
ed, and all paid for. The people are hap
py, and well they may be, for they are
nicely situated, and can make any preach

little improvement on the church. viz,
raising the edifce, putting under II a
basement, taking out the gallery and YES

in it bell. Thus they would have all
the conyeniencies needed.

The semi-centennial observance at the
Baptist Church on the 5th and 9th inst,
proved to be a very pleasant affair, and
presented some features of unusual inter-
est, which will give the occasion more
than an ephemeral character. There
were two of the former pastors present.
Rev. L. Andrews, and Rev. j. W. B.
Clark. Mr.. Clark is now located in Al
bion, n. Y, and his ability and worth as
a pastor may be inferred, in some meas
urr, from the salary of $4,000 that he
commands. The years that have passed
since Ae knew him, here, fresh from his
academic course, have given him maturi-
~ and strength. His place in the desk
is filed with much credit 10 himself, and
acceptance TO his hearers. The Rev. Mr..
Behrends was TO have filed up one service,
but failed to arrive in time, and his place
was supplied by Rev. Mr.. Child, ofCon-
neaut. The Rev. Thos. Allen, former
missionary at Burmah, occupied portion
Of the time in most effective and stir
ring manner. The exercises were varied,
and the attendance from home and neigh
boring places, very satisfactory. Perhaps
the reading of the history of the church,
through its checkered experience OF half
a century, should have been stated as
among the early exercises of the session.
This was read by q. {. Morrison. and
elected no inconsiderable interest. The
closing exercises. the presentation of
communion set, was rather surprise, and
therefore the more pleasing. The presen-
tstion was by Mr.. Miller. a member of

gance. and it is easier to fall into extraVa-
CANT habits than it is to fall out of them.
When greenbacks were as thick as flies
about butchers shop, no one cared as
to the cost of an article he wanted. But
when the supply ceased or was lessened'
it was difficult to cut down expenses cor
respendingly. Consequently there was
trouble. Those who did relrench came
out all right-those who did not,
but attempted to make additional busi-
ness carry them along IN the old way,
went under. This class is about all under
now, and business is i'll safer hands. l
predict a good, safe prosperous year.
Not so fast year as some of its predeces-
sors, but year in which he who does
business en- decent principles will get
through better than he commenced, and
the country will make good fair, safe
progress. There will not be so many
railroads built as in former years-there
will be fewer North Pacific bubbles than
formerly, all of which those who were
bitten in those schemes will be glad 20

do a good sound business.
BEECHER.TILTON.
1t is probable that trial OF this case
will be reached at an early day. Neither

If Beecher escapes by evading a trial, it
is worse for him than as though he had
been tried and found guilty-if Tilton
does not press his suit with all possible
energy, it is a virtual vindication of Beech
er. Both are compelled by the position
they have placed themselves IN to come
to trial. 1t is well. The people are tired
of hearing of the '-Great Scandal" and
have actually lost interest in it. "Did
Henry Ward Beecher actually commit
adultery with Elizabeth TiltOn?" is not
as momentous a question as it was six
months ago. In fact, the people as a rule,
don't care at this time whether he did or
not.

QUALITY OF GAs.-We hear some COM
plants about the quality Of gas supplied
10 our citizens of late. Our friend Hum
phrey. We are told, is not standing up to
the rspOmmendation we gave of him. The
complaint seems to be that it smokes.
The apprehension is that it has too free
an infusion of common air. Our knowl-
edge ofgas, or its manufacture, is not suf
fcient to warrant speaking Oracularly IN
this matter, but the presumption is a fair
one, that this complaint is not we'll
founded. In technical language, the gas
is propably "toO rich" and needs larger
proportion of air. with it's oxygen, to
make the combustion more complete. and
consequently leaye less spoke. The ca.
will no doubt look to this, and apply the
remedy without delay.
