There was one baptism at Trinity church

gregational church, preached an earnest,
practical discourse last evening on the sub

A ladys linen cuff with gold sleeve but

The parties who attacked William Kest,
on Merchants row, on the night of June

Justice Porter and the case adjourned until
Saturday of this week, because of the ab-
sence of witnesses.
Gard playing is among the amusements
of some OF the frequenters of Evergreen
cemetery on Sunday. 1t would seem that
the superintendent should have the over
sight of the grounds on the Sabbath, or
that police officer should be detailed for
service there.

The Manchester Journal says A young
gentleman from Rutland was in town this
morning with his pocket full of confederate
and continental currency which he at
tempted to pass off on the good people of
Manchester. Our revolutionary heroes
have all passed away, however, and we
suspect the young man was obliged to run
his face at the Taconic.
The officers. visited the "Home of the
Weary" on Wales street, on Saturday after
noon, but nothing intoxicating was visible.
However, while they were inside looking
tor the "critter' the bar keeper was tug
cling, wheeling and sweating up the adj
1oining stairs with it confined in bright,
new ten-gallon keg. Devious are the ways
of the saloon keeper when sharp officers are
around.
That man, wearing black weed trim
med with white hat, who recently made
sight draft on the Berwick hotel for $12
worth of accommodation, was again scent
ed up Middlebury way. There are some
three counts against him since the Berwick
count. He is in for fodder at the Addison
House, in for stage fare and in for railroad
fare, all because the detective" business
requires sudden changes in position with
out divulging intent and purpose. There
is one change, however, which might throw
his pursuers off the scent-change his
shirt.
We regret to announce the death of our
well-known fellow townsman Dea. Philip
Edgerton, which occurred suddenly, at his

Deputy Sheriffs Perkins, Crawford, ant
Officer Stearns, visited the underground re
treat of one Quigley, under DIR. E. G
Lewis's drug store, on the corner of Yves
street and Merchants Row. AS they en-
tered, Quigley, who was quietly taking
smoke in his easy chair, jumped to thu
reservoir and out went the beer upon th'
floor, aud with a gallon measure he raj
and spilled the liquor as he ran. Although
one officer jumped over the counter an
other ran around while the other, with III
biz cane, brought up the rear-wlth al
their agility, summersaults and exploits
Mr.. Ouieley wiggled altogether too quicl
for them, and they retired in disgust M
seven dollars and half in that job. Thu
raid of Saturday proved fruitless and "pen
niless."
Miss Hattie M. Smith of Ludlow suns

cessor of Miss Belle Huntoon. Mis-
Smith has strong soprano voice, whicl
