As far as drill is concerned the company could not expect at present to equal it's former proficiency, but when the recruits are broken in, it will no doubt fully maintain its usual high rate of dis ciplins.

 lis these days when so many visitors are seen in all our hill country villages the matter of seating strangers in church is one that should not be neglected. Last weeks New Milford Ray prints letter from which we make the following ex- tract: s.N
 Last Sabbath morning several strangers were observed at the entrance of one oi our churches; but no one appeared to make 1t his business to seat them. Al Iast,two ladies were shown to seat by g colored person acting as janitor of the church. Said invidual had on very soiled and ragged clothing, and was not the right man to act as usher. It would seem quite proper that some two or three youue men should be appointed to attend to the seating of the strangers and others who have not seats, and who desire to lister to the preaching of Gods Word with us The Church of which speak is both wealthy and fashionable, yet it is sadly deficient in this respect.
