When, little more than forty years since, the church in Terryville was built, it's cost was between three and four thousand dollars. Now, the expense of the remideling and reno- vation, which have taken place, including the organ, is about double the original cost of the building For fear that have said nothing, neither last week this, about the church or ded icatien exercises which other correspondents have not also mentioned, I will add, what they may have overlooked, ttat ttirtf-Ome j0ck screscs were used in raising the edifice for the pnr- pose of constructing a basement beneath it!

Homicide in TerryTille.

On Friday evening last, man in Terryvile returning from work was told by Thomas
 Hickey that Tom O'Donnell was back of lis. house, tight. Looking there, he found ODonnell, dead, in the ravine to which he had been directed by Hickey. Measures were at once taken to investigate the matter It vas evident from wounds on his body that ODbn- nell had been killed by some sharp instrument. A jury was summoned, and Hickey was ar. rested in the loft of an adjoining barn. He acknowledged that he had killed O'Donnell on
 Thursday evening, but claimed that it vas done in self-defence An examination of Hickeys house disclosed pool of blood or the floor and bloody axe. The jury returned verdict that the deceased was killed by an axe or other sharp instrument in the hands of Thomas Hickey. On Saturday Hickey had his preliminary hearing before Justice Byron Futile, pleading not guilty on the ground that the act was done in self defence. In addition to proof of killing with an axe, it was shown by witnesses that O'Donnell had been suspected of smashing in the windows of Hickey's house: that Hickey had had trouble with him before and that he had declared nearly one year ago that if O'Donnell came there again to fight him he would punish him. The justice committed the prisoner to jail for trial before the Superior Court.
 Hickey is an Irishman sixty years old, and has served in the British army O'Donnell was an American of Irish percentage, about thirty seven years old, and of incorporate, unsteady habits. It is reported that they were last seen, Thursday evening, drinking cider to- gether at Mrs. Keough's, and that they went away in company. Hickey only admits striking ODonnell with his fists, but it can hardly be questioned that the killing was done with an axe Rum, and bad blood, are doubtless the bottom of the murder \
