 Those "worthy Poor" suppied-We are informed that the ''worthy family" liv- ing between Salisbury and Lakeville have been amply provided for, and the supplies didn't come from Arizona, or New Mexico either, but from Lakeville. Not only bed ding and eatables, but the services of two women to do their fall cleaning, and withall pleasant surprise to the invalid gentleman who was visiting friends at the time in neighboring town.
 Masonic F'unera1.-The funeral of Dr. Granger at Canaan last Sabbath was very largely attended. The deceased being a Mason, extra trains were run from Miller ton, Winsted and Burlington to accommo- date the brother masons who were in at- tendance. The lodges from Millerton, Sal isbury Qime Rock), Burlington, Win sted and Norfolk were present and assisted in performing the last sad rites to an esteem ed brother. The services were conducted at the M. E. Church by the Rev. Mir. Whit tlesey of the Episcopal church of that place.
 A Mean Caper.-We are sorry to hear that Canaan sportsmen are inclined to be mischievous. Last Friday afternoon while party of hunters was returning from a hunting tour on Wetaug mountain, and while passing MT. Horace Barnum's resi- dence they fired into his flock of hens. kill ing two and wounding large number of others. It is to be presumed this trick was not done to gratlfy any malice against Mir. Barnum, but purely to satisfy disposition for deviltry, and although it may have been fun for the boys, it was death to the chick ems, and anything but pleasant to Mr. B. to have his poultry thus slaughtered. Any way, we are ashamed of these Canaan huntsmen. MT. Barnum says if these sportsmen are hungry, If they haven't had anything to eat lately, to call over and he will feed them, but to murder his chickens he thinks is condensed meanness. and every body will say he is right.
 Elder Goss Dead.-The Rev. Wm. Goss, presiding elder of the Poughkeepsie district, died at his residence in the city ot Poughkeepsie on Tuesday morning of last week. He was the son of Christian parents "a native of New York state, and 54 years of age. He was 26 years in active minis try, 10 of which were spent in the respon sible office of presiding elder. His!fune7al took place Thursday from the Washington street M. E. Church, and was largely at tended.
 Among the closing words of the late pre-. siding elder at the recent meeting at the camp in Pine Grove, were, in substance, these.
 We know not how soon we shall be call ed away. How many who are now pres ent in attendance upon these meetings will convene with us at these services veal hence Little did those within the sound of the voice of this venerable and faithful servan of the Master, at that time, think their be loved elder would be counted in the number who would De prominent by their absence at the next years gathering, and only { short month would pass away ere he would be called home. The warning he gave a that time can not be otherwise than fully realized, now that himself is given for al example of the truth and potency of his re marks.
