| |. It is very unfortunate that there is so much difference of opinion in the Congre- gational society of this place. The socle" ty has many members that are wealthy. The Hopkins fund nearly supports the pastor, and the necessary expenses are small, but it is almost impossible to raise any money to improve the inside ot the church and make it worthy the name of Gods House." The other parish are not wealthy, but by ''union of hearts and minds can obtain money to decorate and improve their church edifce. The interl- or of the Congregational church IS dis grace to these stirring times. with it's bare, white walls, relieved only by wan- dering cracks and festooned cobwebs. The fact IS that religion that costs little is valued little. The society neld it's an- 1 nual meeting on Monday last, and 2chose J. Howard Catlin, Watson J. Morse, and Joseph H. Hopkins as the committee for tine coming year. They are all young men, and we trust that something will be done to make our place of worship more cheerful.
 Our ganains, for we have them, have d bad habit of hailing every one in wag- on with, 'Give us a ride give us ride ?" and then clambering upon any part of the vehicle they can get hold of. This is not only dangerous to the boys, but very an- moving to passers by, and should be stop ped. :
 As one of the vehicles in funeral procession was passing down Gulf hill, recently, one of the ho!dbacks gave way and the horse started to run, but the dri- yer, with great presence of mind, refined the animal into an open bar-way, thus talk ing the weight of the wagon of from him. He was then secured without farther damage, but there was prospect for while of rather lively funeral process sion.
 The school on Guernsey Hill has been secured by Mrs. Burton Clark. Mrs. Clark has good deal of experience in school keeping, and we are promised 8 good school on the hill.
 A gentleman from Northfeld, having long drive before him, started at about four. Saturday morning. While driving below Bristol man jumped out and tried to seize tLe bridle of the horse, but the gentleman struck the animal smart blow which brought the disciple of Dick Tur- pen in collision with the wheel, and rolled him to the ground. Our Northfeld friend did not stop to inquire if the party was injured, but drove on.

WoODBURY, Nov. 4th, 1876.
 MR. EDIroR:-The Republicans here are waking up to the situation. Last week a mass meeting drew not only a crowd of our own citizens together, but many from neighboring towns to listen to such speakers as Gov. Jewell, Hon. Lynde Harrison, of New Haven, and Hon. s. N. Kellogg of Waterbury. Wednesday even- ing, of the present week. saw our Boys in Blue. with those of Watertown, and the Curtiss and Woodbury Bands, in force, marching through the village streets, af- ter which the Hon. Mir. Pease, senator from Mississippi, by strong and lucid ar- gument, chained the attention of the as- sembled multitude until midnight, and after him the former drummer boy of the old 18th Regt. c. V. was listened to with unabated interest. There was never, per- haps. a similar occasion of equal interest here. May its influence tell in the results of the election so near ........-.
 The Methodist church, which has for some time been in process of enlargement and improvement. is ready for ,re-dedica- tion, which is to take place next week.
 Village improvements progress slowly but surely. while there are not wanting instances of private repairing and enlarg- ing of dwellings, adding much to their convenience, and external appearance as we'll. ~
 The long continued lack of rain has caused the drying up of wells, springs and small streams. Some of our factories are running only part of the time from want of water in the larger streams, all causing some anxious ones to fear for the coming winters supply, unless we are blessed with the ''latter rain.''

 The road question was at last settl ed, much to the disappointment of the pe- titioners. The town have refused to grant their request to lay new highway from the foot of Essex hill to the high bridge in East St. We doubt if this is a wise preceding. fori the new road would be great benefit to the public. Mir. Hi ram Dean offered to build it for one thous- and dollars. There will probably be a lawsuit.

 At NEW MILFORD the side and rear walls of the new Savings Bank building are up and the carpenters have commenced some of their work.-Probably the largest polit: ical gathering New Milford ever saw was at the Democratic mass meeting, lasi Tuesday afternoon.

attracts crowds of admirers. Several of our townspeople drove to Bantam Lake on Monday last to witness the same nov el sight, Mir. Lyman having. at the sug- gestion of one of them, sent pair of his oars for exhibition there. under the charge of Mr. Beach of the Island house. They returned much pleased with the new invention.
 The rover faces the bow of the boat and conse quently sees where he is going, thus adding greatly to the safety and pleasure of rowing. To those fond ot duck shooting this oar is invaluable, as the eye of the sportsman is not taken from his game. It is claimed that ln' creased speed is thus obtained, inasmuch as, on the stroke of the oar, the bow is raised instead of depressed that there is less fatigue than with the old fashioned oar. and less difficulty in steering. It is quite amusing to witness the first at- tempt at this mode of rowing Every thing is of course the reverse of the old style. and the more experienced the oars- man, the more puzzled he is at the be- ginning. He, however soon masters the situation and gets perfect control of tho boat.
 If Mir. Lyman can achieve any such wonder as this upon the land. he will prove one of. the greatest benefactors of his race, so many of whom continue to go 6ockacards, despite their efforts to get ahead. x.

Missionary Work in Turkey.

DIR. Henry Field gives in the Euan-
gelist some encouraging views of the
work of American zeal and Iiberality in
and about Constantinople. The Bible
House was built chiefly by the efforts
of the Rev. Issac Bliss at a cost of
about sixty thousand dollars, and it
stands in the very heart of the city as
a monument Of American Christianity,
and it is a rallying point for all the
missionaries in the neighborhood. It
is a depot for the sale of Bibles in the
different languages of the East, and
four different. papers in Oriental
tongues are printed in the building for
the use of the adults and children. The
Home at Scutari is seminary for the
education of girls, and new building
has lately been erected at cost of fifty
thousand dollars which was raised
wholly by the women Of America. The
Home stands upon a noble site, and
commends a fine view of Constantine
pie and of the adjacentsswaters. The
college at Bebek owes it's existence
chiefly to the labors of DR.. Cyrus Ham
lin, and received two hundred thousand
dollars from Mr.. Christopher P. Robert,
Of New York, whose name it fifty
bears. It overlooks the Bosphorus,
and may be seen for many miles along
the shores of Europe and Asia. There
are nearly two hundred students in this
institution from all parts of Turkey
the largest part being from Bulgaria
There is quite Protestant community
that gathers around these inst-t / ms
| as centres.

WHEN | MEAN TO MARRY,

BY JOHN G. SAKE
When mean to marry ?-Well-
IT'S idle to dispute with fate,
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share;
Can make the buildings which they eat
And mend the stockings which they wear
When maidens look upon man
AS in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers can
A sutler or a commissary;
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of lovers hand
Consent to share his earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot of land;
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls,
Who don't expect co be endowed
With rubies diamonds and pearls;
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their
spouses,
And live as they were wont to live,
Within their sires' one-story houses
Then, madam-if I'm not too old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold.
And look about me for wife!

ing of some sort of pigeon. The
smuggler, who had grown careless by
prolonged immunity, had on the oc-
casion in question wrapped up fine
woodcock in the skin of blue-rock.
The disguise was as good as usual, ex-
cept in one small particular He had
forgotten to cut off the long bill of his
victim, which was seen protru ling in a
most inexplicable manner from the
mouth of the pigeon. The police
agent, refusing to credit nature with
the freakish trick of thus arming the
emblem of Innocence, instituted an in
quiry, which resulted in the unwilling
of several other protean birds. 1t was
found that even ground game had been
treated in a similar manner, and that
hares had been CONSTANT y brought
through the gates Of Paris in a woolly
disguise of lambkins.-Globe.

Follow up the vertical column of the
year to its intersection with the hori-
zontal column in which the month is
contained, where will be found the
day of the week on which the first day
of the given month falls in the given
year; now use the horizontal column
Of the days Of the week that has this
day Of the week on the left under the
number of the first of the month. For
example: At the intersection of the
columns of December and 1900 is Sun
day, and as Sunday is the first on the
left in the fourth column, we use that
column, and find that Christmas, the
25th, is On Wednesday. By continuing
the columns of the years backward or
forward, being careful to carry every
leap-year ahead one column, the day
of any date may be found. The Janu-
airy and February on the left should be
used for leap-years, and for those only.

Game Smuggling.

The gourmets of Paris are not re
strained by any sentiments Of human
ity or prudence from devouring all
game which they lay their hands upon
out of season. There is indignation
occasionally at their hospitable board
when the wretched victims of this I'M
reasonable appetite appear, and a few
of the less gluttonous guests venture
to express commiseration for the i'll
fated bird or beast which has been
snatched away from its legitimate
honeymoon to figure before the kitchen
fire. But as a rule, the morbid appe-
tite of the bon-vivant, supplemented
by a rogulsh taste for dainties surrep-
titiously procured, makes the forbid
den dish a grand success, and insures
solid profits to the poachers and dealers
who purvey the delicacy
The agents of police have just laid
rude hands upon one of the worthless
engaged in conducting this illicit traf-
fic in game. The criminal was caught
at one of the gates of Paris with a cart
containing good supply Of different
sorts of game. He had been engaged,
apparently with much success, for a
considerable time past in this species
of smuggling. The method was to
enclose the slaughtered spoil in the
skins of more innocent birds A part
ridge might be conveniently hidden
within the feathers of a chicken, a
portly gray capon's plumage might eff
fectually conceal the tailless body of
pheasant, and the corpses of wood.
