 The Club is made up of boys and young mon, the former with unbrokrD soprano and alto voices, such aS used 10 be heard in the Sistine Chapel when the ceremonies of the Church at Rome were on grand scale. I heard the Apollo Club at one of Gilmore's s concerts, and fhey certainly beat anything l ever heard ill the way of sweet and heavenly music, They drove the audience fran tie; again and yet again they had to come out ana sing, and the,audicnce were quite willing to get rid of Mr. Gil- mOrg s brass band of instruments, if they gould but retain the angelic, beautiful. and attractive voices of the boys.

The child turned and can screaming toward home. Herfath@a attracted by the screams, ran to his daughters assistance, who told him there was big snake in the wall. Mr. Mccarthy found on Investigating that a large turtle had wedged it's way in amongst th,9 stQn6s and could not get tQnt, and this was what had frightened the titt4e giH. The turt4e's head stlGk- ing out of the rocks was certainly enough to frighten person, for its head was as large as a mans fist, The turtle was released and dispatched to the place where all bad fighting turtles go.

The stone is very creditable piece of work, and is not only a beautiful orna- ment to the cemetery, but a very fine specimen of workmanship, and one which Mr. Bolles should feel proud of

A lecture was given by R. Bishop, Oi Washington, on Saturday evening last, before the New Preston Temperance Union.

 Your correspondent had the pleasure of paying flying visit to the Garter House" recently. While there he Wa. shown throughout the house (which, by the way, is very pleasant and commo- dious nna), In brief manner 1 will describe d portion of it. On the first floor is a large and convenient bar-room, also a bathroom; on the right one enters very neat and finely furnished "soda" room, wherein Is placed a beau tiful and costly fountain on the left can be found the baggage room, &c.; on the same floor is also a large and convenient billiard room, wherein one sees some elegant tables, &c. on the second floor is the dining rooms, parlor and sitting rooms, which are furnished in the very best manner; on the east and west sides of the house, and running the entire length can be found verandahs, whic are, of course very desirable, as they overlook the lake. The sleeping rooms are very attractive, as they are situated ill such manner that the occupants can enter their rooms by way of the several verandahs. The total number of sleep ing rooms is seventeen; each one is fur nished with elegant and costly chamber suits, and no pains has been spared to make them what they should be. On the third floor one finds a pleasant yer andah running on the east side, which overlooks the lake in a most charming manner; this floor is divided into sleep ing rooms, and, like the others, are very desirable. Thus, in a very few words. have given (as it were) nothing but the outlines of tho "Carter House" A whole column would not contain a full description of this pleasant and beautiful house, All are welcomed here, with very little money.

Sunday week the Catholic society here raised s700 by subscription. This sum, together with the $500, the proceeds of their late fair, makes a nice starting point to raise sum sufficient to build a nice little church.
 Mrs Eli Bailey is very ill, and it is doubtful if she can recover. She has ep- ileptie fits in frequent succession, and so violent that it takes two persons to re- strain her from iniuring herself in her struggles. When not i'll one of them she is so feeble that she can with diffi- cplty be moved in the bed. She has three small children, and her husband depends on his daily labor for the sup port of his family. Being obliged to re- main by his wife's bedside, he is cut of from the means of support, It is sad case, and calls loudly for benevolent aid from Christian public.
 Mr. Edwin s. Lemmon is also very i'll, with cancer in the stomach. He is able to take very little nnurishmelt. and fails in strength constantly. It does not seem possible that he can survive.

 The picnic held on Mile Hill the 2lRt ult. was for the entertainment of JUven- ilc TcmplaIs, instead of Good Tcmplars as stated in last weeks issue It was given by Olive Branch Temple in celo- bration of the third anniversary of the institution ofthe Temple. Alpha Tenn plo of Sandy Hook joined with them by invitation, and we judge the afternoon was enjoyed by all. Sixty-four Juven- lies attended, and the three setts of croquet and the swings seemed in con- stant use. The long-enduring game of Copenhagen" appeared to find much favor also. Refreshments were snrved about five o'clock. A number of ladies, who take great interest in the Juvenile temperance work, were present, and took charge of the tables, which were well loaded, thanks to many friends. We have neglected to state that the picnic was held in the orchard belong ing to Mir. John k. TOmlinson. This proves Il very pleasant picnic ground, aud we are very grateful for the use of il, 50 freely offered. NJ.

WASHINGTON.
The Reason why.

Washington, July 2O.-Seeretary
Sherman was inquired of to-day why
gold coin is paid into the Treasury in
exchange for silver dollars in San
Francisco. He answered.: 1t is to save
the transportation of coin. By deposit
ing gold in San Francisco for silver,
certificates can be obtained and trans
ported to New York, and used for
the payment of custom duties, and
thus the expense of transporting gold is
thrown upon the Government. This
will no doubt bring into the Treasury
both the gold and silver product of the
country, and will throw upon the Gov
ernment the expense of transporting
both metals east for transportation. It
is believed that it will work well, and
arrangements are being made now to
procure the transportation at rates far
less than heretofore.
