 MORE ABOUT THE DAVIES FAMILY. We have spoken briefly of the male members of the family. James J. and his wife had nc children. Thomas J. had, we think, three or four daughters, one marrying Gen.

Scoville of Waterbury and another, Peter Powell, of this place, whose children were, Harriett, Peter w., and Eliza, who married Seth Calhoun, now residing in Cheshire None of Mir.

 After prolonged silence, Itake my pen to give few news items and let your readers see that we are still alive and active and especially so in the good cause of temperance On Sum- day evening, the 21st inst, c. D. Lawson gave us very interesting history of his life which had been one of debauchery and intemperance. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, of good and wealthy parentage, and received colle- giate education. Choosing the mercantile bus mess he became every way qualified for nearly any position in business, or any public trust, but for one drawback-the appetite for strong drink. This held him in it's iron grip so firmly that it united him for business, and he lost position after position, sinking lower and lower in degradation, till at last he decided to aban- don all of his old associates, leave his native country, and, in due time, arrived in Canada West. From thence he came to New York city, and at last found himself in Bridgeport, where he claims to have accepted Christ as his only help in trouble and, fearing to trust him self within the reach of temptation, applied for and received admittaRce to the Insane Asy- lum in Middletown. After six months volun- tary confinement and exclusion from the outer world, he emerged reformed man, and now devotes his entire time and talent to the reform ation of others who are under the same bond age that held him SO tightly few months since. He has been power for good here. One hun dred and fifty have signed the pledge, includ- ing in the number few that had seemed to us hopeless cases
 The meetings, which were we'll attended and enthusiastic, were interrupted by the Teachers Institute at North Canaan. West Cornwall and Cream Hill were we'll represented. The services of Mt. Holyoke girls seem much sought after as teachers Miss Fannie Guild of New Hampshire, a graduate of that school is still engaged in West District where she taught the winter term. Miss Post, of Norfolk, not a graduate, has the Hollow school; and Cream Hill has secured the services of Miss Robbins, a graduate.

FOUND DEAD.-Francis Wadhams and Clar- ence Brewster found Lyman Wadhams dead Iast Saturday forenoon, about 10 a. m., in the road that leads to Litchfeld. His body was found south of his house, and few rods north of J. H. Wadhams' brick house. He lay on his side with his face to the north, his feet in the east ditch, and his head partly on the bank One shoe was found little north of him. He must have died but short time be- fore, as he bought a piece of meat about nine; and Mir. Soudant who passed about half an hour later saw nothing of him. He doubtless had started for the brick house and fell in a fit As he has lived alone for many years. we have feared that he might be found dead in his house.
 ARRIvALs.-Miss Alice North has taken rooms in Mrs. Rice's house. She was former ly from Cornwall. Mr. Moses Lyman Jr., of Waverly, New York, is at his fathers. GOSHEN AT PHILADELPHIA.-I have seen a book giving an account of what Connecticut did at the Centennial, containing the names of 40, 900 Conn. people who resistered their names in the Connecticut house. Eighty were from Goshen, and this shows that about eight tenths registered their names, as we had 103
