 The remarks on Impersonal Journal. ism in you Last issue. are both timely and appropriate, and may apply to other religious journals in New York. While we are not disposed to attribute intention al evil to MT. Beecler, his case reminds us of the fable of two dogs, III which poor Tray was sadly beaten for being found in bad company. i-

 Died at Washington, March 18th. Ben nett G. Fenn, aged "A years and 9 months. The deceased was born in New Haven in 1900 He removed to this place with his father, who was merchant tailor, in 1910. served an apprenticeship with him and ul- tmately became his partner in business. He was married to Phebee S. Gum, daughter of the late Hon. John N. Gum, March 29th, 1926, with whom he has lived almost 49 years. He united with the Congregational church in 1881, of which he has ever been a valuable and consistent member He was clerk of the Ecclesias- tical Society for more than twenty years and its firm supporter until his death In 1852 he purchased farm in Calhoun dis trict, on which he has since lived. A stern friend of the right, and of good or der; if he erred it was on the safe side. and if at any time his manner might seem abrupt, we believe he had a warm and friendly heart. It is pleasant to think of the kindly greetings, and precious meet ings We have enjoyed together the past years. He was ever ready to stand up for Christ. He will be missed in the church and his voice in the prayer meeting, and, how much more in his own loved home, for he WAS truly a home man ''Help Lord, for the godly man ceaseth. for the upright fail from among men," 8.

 Most people must talk about something; and although many love to gossip abont their fellow beings. there is not on the whole anything that more readily presents itself to complainers than the weather. Yes, the weather has had a vast amount of abuse heaped upon it; and were it not for an excellent and powerful 'backer,'' if would long ago have been crushed to a million atoms. or banished from the earth! Many unwisely grumble because "Winter fingers in the lap of Spring." As, down to the close of February, only light snows, we had good reason to expect heavier ones in March; for they are sure to come some time between the 10th of November and the 10th of April. Instead of being a curse, they are no doubt great blessing; and in the present case indicate most like ly an early spring.
 At a town meeting held on Tuesday af- ternoon, the 16th inst, vote was passed authorizing the selectmen to have Rey- holds Bridge rebuilt with iron instead of wood. The new bridge is to have road way of sixteen feet width, which will af- ford a space much more convenient for teams than that of former years.
