Last Sabbath was the time for all the Cong. Ministers in the State to give historical sermons in relation to their churches, and printed or written coples are'to be preserved by the General Asso- ciation. The sermon by Rev. T. A. Ha- zen was from Ps. 145:4, taking us back to the time when in Nov. TAO the little church of 14 members was organized in that log house, at the time of the ordina- tion of the first minister. We had par ticular account of all the Ministers, Dea- cons, and the great Revivals, with his- tory of the troubles in relation to the first three ministers, just enough dates and statistics being mixed in to make the discourse intensely interesting. After the celebration an original hymn was sung to the tune of Old Hundred, and I send you a copy of the stanzas sung by the congregation. Above the pulpit were the beautiful notices made of small green ivy leaves from Ivy mountain on white ground. '174O, 1876." In front of the pull pit was "CHR1sT and his CHURCH," On one side was a beautiful cross of flowers. on the other pyramid of flowers so ar ranged as to show separately red, white and blue.
 ADDITIONS TO THE CHURCH.-There were seven persons admitted to the Church at the Center, by profession, on the first Sabbath in July. H. N.

Plymouth SKetches--No. 23o.

The Centennial Fourth passed off fully as quietly as usual. Its birth was usher ed in by the ringing of. the Episcopal and Conference room bells, with the addition of the Congregational church bell few hours later. This comprehended all the ringing for the day, excepting for services at the Episcopal church, which was held at 10 A. M. As to the burning of powder, and noise resulting therefrom. we have nothing here dignifed by the name ''can- non;" but the inevitable fre-cracker was around as matter of course, attended by some explosions of more imposing char. acter.
 On Sunday, the 9th. the Rev. B. B. Hil- Hard delivered-in forenoon and after Historical discourses in regard to the settlement of Northbury, and the for nation of the Congregational church soon afterward, with an account of its subse- quent growth, and biographical sketch of its first pastor, the Rev. Samuel Todd. Your correspondent heard one of these discourses. and also two on the same sub- iect by the Rev. J. W. Backus, delivered on Sunday morning and evening in the Congregational church, Thomaston.

Among the relics gathered here, says the American. were ga wooden pitch pipe, a sort of whistiing tuning fork; cartridge box which Lucins Benham carried seven years during the Reyoln: ion; an old gun lef Titus Turner was shown, which shot a bear in Northfe1d; pair of snow shoes owned by the same gentleman were also present; a powder horn of Dea. Hart of Ply mouth, who went with Arnold on his expe- dition through Maine to capture Quebec. A calico dress waist of M tty Dewey of Lebanon, of l774. cost $1 a yard which the young lady earned by, working for fifty cents n week" Beside the band there was present company of 65 minute men in continental costume, bearing three flags; the union jack, the present colors. and the old pine tree flag. wi;h the serpent at it's base, bearing the motto, 'Dont tread on me- The men carried old muskets, one of which is said to have killed the last-deer in the town and state; some wore powder horns, one of which belonged to Benjamin Henshaw.of Middletown in 1757. Rev. Mr. Sill opened the exercises with prayer; Lawyer Bradstreet read the declartlon; Dr Woodruff delivered the oration of the day, and Rev. Messrs. Backus and Still made extemporaneous addresses, after which Father Gaffney's letter of regret was read and Rev. Mir. Backus was appointed to prepare histo- rical sketch of the towns history. After a fine collation., the company dispersed, and in the evening there was splendid show of fireworks.

West Goshen.

The particulars of the Centennial Cele- bration of the 4th inst, in this town, will be furnished by other parties. but we can do no less than allude to an occasion so full of interest; one that will long remain in the memory of the citizens of Goshen and day to which the children in after years will refer with pleasure and pride. The weather was all that could be desired, good breeze coming up in the afternoon such as Goshen knows how to furnish And such crowd as came pouring in from all directions our quiet town seldom well comes among us. All the exercises were full or interest, and in the carrying out of the programme. native talent was exclu- sively employed the music excepted) The addresses were just what we should expect from the parties delivering them, and the poem was credit to the writer and the reader. Personally, we think it no small honor to be citizen and a na- tive of Goshen, and to trace our ancestry back in the town for four generations to one of it first proprietors.
 West Goshen has not been behind in patriotic effort. Centennial elms and ma ples have been planted, extending from the church, to and around the residences of F. A. Lucas and Ethan Whitney, with a number between the store and the grist mill.
 On the 2d inst. Rev. Mir. Dikeman preached very interesting Centennial sermon. He reviewed the history of the nation during the century just closing, and dwelt upon the hopes and fears in reference to the future. His warning rela. tive to the danger from intemperance and popery had the true ring.

West Cornwall.

For the past few weeks your corres- pondent has been very busy having and hunting potato bugs, of which pest we are now nearly rid, for the present, but we know not how soon they will return with fresh recruits and We shall be obliged to take up the refrain, ''Oh the potatoes they grow small, cause they eats them tops and all. etc.
 The hay crop in this section is light excepting on newly seeded pieces, the last named yielding heavily.
 Sunday we listened to a historical discourse by our pastor, MT. Fitch, giving us detailed account of the founding of the Cornwall church in South Cornwall, and of the secession of some of its mem- bers which resulted in the establishment of the church in North Cornwall. He spoke of the different pastors in thelr con- cection with the church; also of all the Deacons and some of the prominent lay men. The discourse was necessarily long but interesting and showed that there had been much labor and time bestowed upon it.
 The West Cornwall Sabbath School held festival. last Monday night; the re- ceipts for the evening were $40, to be de- voted to laying the corner stone of the church, to. be erected here sometime in the future-we hope not too far distant.
 Parties who visited the Centennial grounds have returned and all seem anx- ious to visit them again in the fall.
 Sunday, at o'clock p. m., the mer- cury stood at 94 in the shade and 118 in the sun.
 The semi-centennial celebration of the erection of the North Cornwall church is postponed until the 18th of this month. In six years the Cornwall church organi- zation will have reached it's centennial.

 The golden wedding of s. H. Barnum and wife was held at their residence on Thursday evening, June 29th. There were about two hundred guests present, but among them were none who were at the first wedding except MT. Barnum and his wife. The Cornet Brass Band furnished the music. The gifts were abundant and bright in their golden beau. ty. R. R. Pratt made the presentation speech, and B. B. Hart, D. D. Pratt, N. Hart and others talked eloquently of past, present and future things. Refreshments were dealt out profusely to the crowd, and "all went merry as marriage bell" | Five persons united with the North Cornwall church on the 2d inst, making fifty who have joined it since the first of January. It is fifty years since the meet ing house of the above church and soclety which they now occupy was built. On Wednesday, the 18th, they hold celebra- tion with referance to that and other mat ters of interest which come up for consid- eration in this centennial and semi-cen- tennial year. Services will be held in the church Tn the forenoon. at which time historical addresses will be delivered by Chas. F. Sedgwick, Esq, of Sharon. and Rev. Samuel Scoville, of Norwich, N. Y.

Busters Defeat.

One of the terrible defeats which occa- sioaaIly befalI our army in their Indian expeditions, occurred on the Big Horn, . branch of the Yellowstone River. on the SsGh alt An expedition under Gen. Ter " had been sent along the line of the Noxthern Pacific railroad to chastise some rvfr1etOxy Sioux under Sitting Bull who k.d refused to go upon their reservations. Having reached point just west of the Black Hills in lower Montana, Custer was sent of with the 7th Regt. of Cavalry, to follow the trail of the hostile Indians. Going mp the Little Big Horn he came upoa a large camp of the enemy and di- vSding his force made an attack with five en@panies on one side, while Col. Reno ui4h the remaining seven companies of the regiment attacked the other. They found the enemy in much larger force thAa had been anticipated. Both attacks were repalsed- Casters force was annihi- Iafe1 tD a man, and Reno with great diff kG-aIEy and heavy loss maintained his po- sitioa tiIl relieved by Gen. Terry. The total loss seems to have been near 400. and among the killed were Gen. Custer, his brother Col Custer, Col. Keoueh, Col Hates. Col Cooke, and a number of other officers. The Indians were we'll armed and the attacking party seem to have been ambuscaded.

 Dear Sir-Having received great benefit from the use of Peruvian Syrup, am willing to add my testimony to the thous- ands of others constantly sounding it's praise. During the late war was in the army and had the misfortune to be taken prisoner. and was confined Tn Salisbury and other Southern prisons several months, and became so much reduced Tn health and strength as to be a mere skel- eton of my former self. On being released was fit subject for northern hospital, where I remained some two months and came home. My physician recommend ed and procured for me several bottles of Peruvian Syrup. which l continued to pse for several weeks, and found my health restored and my weight increased from ninety pounds to one hundred and fifty, my usual weight. and have been in my usual good health ever since; and can cheerfully recommend it in all cases of weakness and debility of the system. whether arising from an impure state of the blood. dyspepsia. or almost any other cause. believing it will in most cases give entire satisfaction.
 Yours truly, GEO. S. B1xRY.
