 At T#oaAsToN, during the last six weeks the gospel temperance work has been wonder fully successful. The meetings conducted by the Rev. fir. Pogson, by Colonel Caldwell and his associates, lIr and Mrs Wilson, in the early part of the campaign, and during the last ten days by Mir. John Barry, the. success fuI temperance worker of Elmifa, N Y, have been crowded night after night. Over 1000 signatures have been secured. After the ad- dress, Wednesday evening, the 18th, the Seth Thomas Clock company's brass band marched into the church, signed tine pledge in a body, and then entertained the audience with some very fine music. This is new band organ ized this spring. Mir. Barry spoke in Ply mouth last Sunday and secured 128 signatures.

Mir. George Hopkins recently met withquite a serious accident. He had been driving steer out of his ryefeld, when, soon after, he was found by the family wandering about the yard in an unconscious condition. It was nearly an hour before he became conscious of what was said or done for his relief. He was found to have been bruised on the chest, and had deep gash on the jaw near the chin ;and, what seems most remarkable, is unable to ac- count for the injuries. It is thought by his physician and others that he was struck by the OK while in partially unconscious state, caused by over-exertion.

 The temperance society are to hold fes- tival in Sackett's grove, just south of the church, oe the afternoon and evening of We'd nesday, July Sd. The tables will be supplied with strawberries, oranges, pineapples, &c., with abundance of meats, and all kinds of pastries, ice cream, &c. There is to be an equestrian display by the young ladies and gentlemen near the grounds and, last but not least, the Cornet Band will be in attendance and endeavor to to fill up the time between speech-making and singing with their best music. A very cordial invitation is extended to all, both in town and. out of it, to come and enjoy with us the good things of the day.
 There has been an effort made to have Sabbath school convention meet here soon, and has failed. Our school is in an unusually fiourishing condition and therefore not greatly in need of extra help at present. In short, temperance appears to be the all absorb l ing thing just now; we are justly proud of our temperance work new names are constantly l added, and much pains are taken to make the meetings (which are held each alternate Sab- bath evening in the church) attractive, by singing reading declamations, short speeches &c. Many were present last Sabbath evening from New Preston and their speaking, singing &c. added much to the interest. Among the many good things too numerous for men, tion we speak of two, as deserving much praise an original poem by MT. J. Gum, of New Preston; and Reclamation by our young townsman, Mir. F. Johnson X.

The Rev. Mir. Thomas the Winsted clergy. man who was so dreadfully injured at the Tar riffville accident, has at last recovered suff- | ciently to ''hire halr' and express his views regarding the Connecticut Western Railroad | Company. His remarks upon that institution and it's officers were little acrimonious. Per haps man who has been crippled for life nat uraly disapproves of the people to whose neg | ligence he believes that his misfortune is due The Winsted Herald, which promotes the Connecticut Western in all lawful ways, had alluded to Mir. Thomas, in advance, it seems, as ''fre-bug," and it concludes its report of the lecture as follows
 We were on the point of modifying what we said in a recent issue about fire bug" but inasmuch as the lecturer took the liberty of alluding to some officer connected with road-whether he meant Mr. Camp or Mir. Gilbert there seems to be questisn-as getting rich by pitching pennies" we have thought that 'honors were easy" and that there was no occasion to take back or modify any thing
 Just here several questions arise. Do Win sted churches allow their members in regular standingso practice pitching pennies as an av- ocation ? How much are the eaverage daily earn ings of skilful business men like Mr. Camp and MT. Gilbert at that avocation Does the editor or the Herald pitch, himself; and which is the most lucrative, that or the printing business? !?

PARR1cIDE IN SHERMAN.
GEORGE HOYT KILLED BY HIS SON
 EDWIN.
The Murderer in Danbury Jail.
RUM DID IT.


 On Sunday afternoon a most shocking and
 below the village of Sherman. The victim
 was George Hoyt, man seventy-six years old; the perpetrater, his son Edwin, of thirty seven. Old Mir. Hoyt is a man of considera- ble property; and, owing to his weakened ca pacIty, petition was pending for the appoint ment of a conservator. His wife died only a week ago. He has two sons and daughter, now the wife of Vanderburg Joyce. He for merly lived with Edwin at the family home- stead, but he was so violent of temper and so incorporate, that of late old Mr. Hoyt has lived half, mile away, with his son-in-law.
 Sunday morning Edwin called to see his father who made no objection to Edwins occu- pying the homestead, but declined to live there with him. Soon after he started off, threaten ing loudly and saying, some one should die, being jealous, it is thought, of unfair play in the disposition of his fathers property. About 3 p. m., he returned, fell down in pretended fit outside the door, the Joyces being then at dinner. A brother of Vanderburg went to him, but he said he should he all right soon. Watch ing his opportunity, when the two brothers were seated with their backs to him, he jump ed up, seized his father around the neck and drawing large butcher knife, struck him a blow in the chest. By this time Stephen Joyce seized the hand which held the knife, and both brothers rolled him ever; but not before, by changing the knife into the left hand, he had made gash in his fathers neck of three inch es in length, which severed the jugular vein, causing death in five minutes. Constable Woodruff impannelled jury with W. H. Wanzer as foreman, which held an inquest, finding the cause of death as above stated. At the inquest the murderer said: Fl done it, and am glad of it, andif you will fix that rope to my neck and then to that tree will climb up myself and jump of, and will bless you all while that you are doing it."
 On Monday he had his preliminary hearing before Justice Woodruff, pleaded guilty, and was committed to Danbury jail for trial before the Superior Court. Hoyt is of slight build, with sandy moustache, hair slightly gray, straight nose and sunburnt complexion. He is not an ill-looking man. In conversation, says the Courant, he said he was glad of what he had done; that there were two or three more he would like to serve in the same way, and then he would be ready to die. He is supposed to have been in liquor when the deed was committed. He appeared entirely unmov- ed when at the depot with crowd gazing at him,
