 Among the many noticeable improve ments in St. Michael's church, is the re- mOval of the old and cumbersome pulpit. The painting and graining reflect great credit upon Mir. John B. Slate. to whom the contract was given. The varnish used was. we understand, of very superiorqual- ity. When the congregation of St. Mi chael's stuck to their pews in times gone by it was as much Q matter of varnish as of piety. Hereafter the sole adhesive quality will bs sound churchmanship. The work of re-numbering the pews was done without charge by Mir. W. M. P. Shelton-a model vestryman.
 The funeral of Mir. Henry c. Gould was attended from St. Michael's church on Saturday afternoon last. So passes away the last resident of Litchfield bear ing one of Litchfeld's most honored names. He had many of the characteris- tics of family that abounded in marked characteristics. His apt and choice use of language. of which his father was such e master. was always a noticeable feature in his conversation. Ee had great love of music. of poetry, and of good literature. Although very peculiar in his ways he will be much missed by many who could make dae Allowance for bis peculiarities.
