oaiiiofn'a Sprlt OF the Times.
A gentleman has recently left us
for an extensive tour throughout
the Eastern States, and foreign
countries; who is destined to make
BE mark, aud of whom we expect
to hear the most favorable reports
from all parts of the world which
he may visit. Knowing him 10
be thorough gentleman, and man
Of moral worth, and addicted to
no small vices, being q stranger to
strong drink or the use Of tobacco
Wc feel II : duty to inform our
readers in the East and foreign
parts, what sort Of a man they are
about to meet with, and in what
high estimation he is held at home
here on the Pacific Coast. Doctor
|w.F. CARVER, though born in
New York State, was captusd by
the Indians while hut a baby, and
lived for nineteen years among the
savages, which is just one half his
life time. Wild life has produced
IN this man q wonderful result, in
as much as we see before us no
Wild Dill, no rough bearded FROM
tiCfslnan, clad in skins, and armed
10 the teeth with knife and pistol;
a type Of humanity which is usu-
ally handed over to civilization as
the result Of years of association
with the great American Savage,
made SO famous by Fcnnimore
Cooper. Instead, however, we
find Doctor Carver to be a tall
handsomely proportional man,
courteous in manner, not givcn to
brag, but inclined to reserve re-
garding NJ many and truly won
dcriul- exploits upon the plains
aud his narvelous skill with the
rife, which finally made him ter
! ror to Indians. After leaving his
life upon the plains, DR.. Carver
s. tiled down IN the middle Wesi
and became proficient IN the prac'
ticc Of dentistry. A few years
ago he came TO California and set
tied In Oakland, there pursuing hi
profession. Ills wonderful skill q
rifle shooting soon attracted aitcn
tion, and the Doctor was callet
upon from time TO time to meet al
the crack shots and test his skill
| with them, until II became cvi,len
that no ono was able to compete
with him, since he proved conclu
sivcly that he could IN all thing
make any shot with 4 rife whicl
any other person could with u sho

McAllister of Litchtield, Stevenson of Els worth, Reid of North Canaan, Mitchell of Salisbury, and Dl. II. NJ.

From our notes we should be glad to give at least a synopsis of the remarks of these gentlemen. and were they reported verDatimit would be profitable for our readers; but the space we have already surrendered to our account of the proceedings, is the utmost limit we feel it is discreet to give.
 At the close of these exercises an inter- mission WAS given for lunch end refresh ment, which was served in the Village Hall; and the abundance of everything SoOu to UeuOlu, duu DetLeT 10 phTlhke or, was sufficient invitation to those present, weary with the exercises of the afternoon, to sit by and be efreshed:-But the entire service ot the day as ordained, was not yet concluded: la the evening sermon was preached by the Rev. Mir. Fitch of Stam- ford, brother of the pastor of the Corn wall church, and although not permitted by other duties to be present, and we have not, at this writing, receved any report of it, we feel sure sermon was given that richly repaid all who, living far away, were perhaps subjected to considerable incon- venience 10 do so, remained; sfor as he sat near the desk during most of tLe exerclses of the afternoon, We saw in his counte-- nance-and we think we saw clearly and correctly-a sermon for the evening, sound, solid, logical and eloquent.

DEDICATION.
WEST CORNWALL CHAPEL.

Thursday afternoon, on the 9th day of last August. we witnessed the interesting ceremonies of laying the corner stone Ior the new chapel in West Cornwall. The day was pleasant for the out of doors exer- clses. and the large numbers assembled about the walls of the new edfice, accom- modated themselves to seats on the piles ot timber, lumber. and large stone and the various etcetera brought to the spot to be used Tn the work of construction. and which were disposed about the grounds n the most orderly and systematic confusion Last Thursday afternoon. our duties as g reporter of the events incident to thls re- zion, again called us to this place. A few short months and what change! In place of the u.9couth shed of the workmen, the ragged St. 'ne, the rough, unwrought tim Der and lul nber and the confused mass of ds61is in general, stands comely and ele- gant chapel, perfect in all its parts and very beautiful. The grounds about the new structure are icely graded, the chips of the craftsmen are removed, and no trace of the chaos that was every where during the work of construction is visible; and this new chapel, as far as present appearances would indicate, might have risen from the earth as new and beautiful exotic, 8 product of Natures soil, excited to growth, nourished and brought to it's perfection to beautify the earth and make it a fit habitation for man, by the Author of all that is good even by God. the Father, who maketh the seasons to come and go, the rains to de- scend and the hsrvests to appear in their time. And now word descriptive of the new West Cornwall Chapel-we inadvcr- tantly alluded to it last Thursday as a church, and were instantly corrected. and informed that it is not church, but simply a chapel. an off-shoot of the mo!herschurch on the hill, ard we'll endeavor hereafter to call things by their right name, nothwith- standing it's size, it's appointments and gen eral appearance constantly urge one to un' consciously say-church edifice but we are admonished, it is 8 ch- ch-chapel, and with brief description of it, we'll proceed with our report of the proceedings which called together the large number that con- Yened within its walls last Thursday after- noon.
 The edifce measures 6Ox32 feet, with thirteen feet posts. It is divided into the auditorium proper, lecture room, gallery for the choir and entrance hall; the audi torium seating comfortably about two hun dred, the lecture room seventy-fve and the gallery from fifty to sixty. Of course 6 much larger number could be accommoda
 ted for special occasions. The interior fir- ish of these rooms is certainly very neat
 tasteful and appropriate in fact we doubt if there is congregational church or chap el in the county more so. each and every item or detail being in harmony with all the others the desk with it's accompanying furniture the beautiful scroll on the wal

 multitude of souls. The church accepts of this chapel and hopes things may be called by their right names. She does not believe there is either room or reason for two churches in this portion of the Masters vineyard at present cultivated by her labor CTS; but she sees no cause for anxiety; still less for envy and jealousy, merely because while the old church stands on the hill at North Cornwall, West Cornwall should ask for and erect something to be to her people 8 Chapel, Bethel and Ebenezer all in one. She recognizes the need of this place of worship, and she trusts in the loyalty of her many children in this village to her in- tercst, to prevent disruption of the kind ly fraternal feeling which prevails. And l can assure you that the old church rejoices to see SO much precious ointment poured over the feet of her Lord and Master.
 
 After getting thus far in the report of the dedication, we find so much space occu- pied that we feel compelled to withhold the remaining part of the Rev. Fitch's address, which, as our readers will realize after reading thus far, was most excellent all the way through. We are sorry we are thus crowded for we love to be thorough.
 At the close of the Rev. Fitch's address of acceptance, the choir,-which we will stop here long enough to say, under the leadership of MT. George Hughes, seemed we'll drilled and thoroughly disclplined,- sang very finely that beautiful hymn, ''Rock of Ages" followed by a prayer by the Key. Dr. White, pastor of tue old church in South Cornwall, and which is regarded as the grandmother church of Cornwall; the church at North Cornwall being the second generation, and the chapel at West Cornwall, although chapel only 10 the North Cornwall church, quite propetly the third generation.
