 EXCHANGE OF MINISTERS. Thran ex- changed services with Mr. Bonar. of New Milford, on Sunday, who gave an interesting discourse on the one thing mentioned in the Bible and it's personal application to his hearers.
 STRAWBERRY FEsTIvAL.-The Festival was success and very pleasant occasion. The expenses were considerable, but the receipts exceeded them by some twenty-el dollars, which we understand will be expended in furnishing the ladies' tparlor. A carpet and window shades have been procured and we trust it will soon be put in order. CRoPs.-Farmers are in the midst of having with fair crop of grass, and fine weather in which to secure it. Rye and oats are good; corn backward potatoes look well, so do the bugs.

 DEATHS. MT. John w. Titus passed away on the 28th inst, aged 63 years; disease, can cer in the stomach funeral on Sunday at the church.
 TEMPERANcE.-The most important topic before this community at present is the tem- perance question Meetings have been held three Sabbath evenings in succession. The l first was an informal meeting, participated in by several of our citizens It takes some time to decide what temperance is, some claiming that it is abstinence from all that can intoxl- cate. others abstinence from distilled liquors; ; and others, moderation in all good things. l Mir Editor! can you give us any light on this subject? Is there no ground on which we can harmonize, and present an unbroken front against this foe to human happiness, virtue and prosperity? Mir. R. B. Bishop delivered a very acceptable address on Sabbath evening, the 24th inst, reviewing the history of the temperance cause from it's first origin. Some things he failed to mention: it's commence ment in Litchield, in 1872; and Dr. Beecher's sermons CMr. Edwin Mason informs us that he heard these sermons and that a pledge was circulated but no society organized). Heze- kiah Murray, distiller in Northfeld, aban- doned distilling at a great sacrifice. The first Fsociety in the state was formed at Mount Rig CT in Salisbury, in 1895, No wonder that Sal isbury should be the banner town at present. Last evening Hon. G. H. Hellister gave a most finished address at the Congregational Church. .......... .-

The latter won, 26 to 0, only five innings being played. The Woodbury catcher was a good player, as we'll as several others of the club. The pitching on the Gun nery side was quite effective, and the fielding good Their batting also was capital, Parker excelling.

For this Powder we claim three important features which will recommend it's use to every farmer and gardner in the country. 1st, That it contains none of the poisonous prop critics dangerous to human life, of which many of the insect powders now in the market composed. Many deaths have occurred through Paris Green and other poisonous preparations of Arsenic which are employed to destroy insects on plants and vegetables and which absorb the poison and with the food is i. trOduced into the human syatem. 3f tHTf 4ff ! 2d. That where the Powder is sPrinkled on PGtA. to Vines Plants, Vegetables &c it will drive away the Potato Bug. Gut Worms, and all other insects which are the pests of the field and garden and If used early tn ths Spiing, will prevent the development and growth of insect Efei It also be used with good eAsct to destroy Caterpillers and Worms on Fruit trees, Aowers, and shrubbery.

TIE TERRITORIAL INSANE
ASYLUM.

Around StcilNcoom is TO be found
some of the most beautiful kind of park
like scenery. The ground is semi
sterile gravel cement that does not sup
port large growth Of trees, hut still
fertile enough to be green the year round
In the middle of this kind of scenery,
about one and one-halt mies back
from Stcilacoom is to be found the old
garrison grounds; similar in appearance
to most any other military post. A
large fed enclosed with strong, high
fence, within which are situated the old
garrison buildings. Officers quarters
on the north side and the soldiers bar
racks on the other three sides OF the old
parade GROUNDS. The three barrack
buildings are used with slight ultcra-
tions for the inmates of the insane asy-
ium. Only two have been used, but the
third is being made ready tor use. The
former officers quarters are used as Off
ces and homes for those IN charge of the
asylum. In connection with each ward
is fence enclosure where the patients
can air themselves with danger OF escape
At pr sent theie arc 70 patients, 13 fr-
males and 63 males. There are IA Off
GERS and employees connected with the
establishment. DR.. Willard, the medical
superintendent is a physician Of drscrv-
edly high reputation. He will un.
dsubtedly look upon his position rs
sacred trust, which he will fill AS well as
the means afforded him will allow.
Maj. Alden, the steward has charge of
all outside work. keeping accounts etc.
His long selvice AS Inspector General in
the army under the immediate supervis-
ion of Gen. Geo. Thomas, the most
perfect General produced by the war,
will be proof that everything will be
systematized and regularly conducted
with military Cxactness. His accounts
are wonders of exactness and accuracy.
Mr.. L. S. Lowell, formerly we'll known as
the enterprising agent Of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, is the efficient
head Warden. He has three assistant
wardens, while Charlie Ross, grown to
manhood, is the outside warden. and the
most popular young fellow with the
girls in Pierce county. Whether he is
the original one that was lost, or not, it
would be no wonder is he should lose
himself sometime, the way the girls go
for him. lie is a good hearted fellow
and sterling young man, who does his
duty well and enjoys himself Mt the same
time. The unfortunate inmates of the
asylum ore as we'll provided Tor as the
buildings provided will allow; but it
should be one OF the first objects OF the
Territory to provide something better
than old abandoned barracks for such
purpose.

The Feast Of Apple Bloom.

When the sky is dream Of violet
And the days are rich with gold.
And the satin robe ofthc earth is set
With the jewels wrought OF old
When the WOO Glands wave in choral seas
Aud the purple mountains loom,
1t is heaven to come with the birds and bees
TO the feast Of apple bloom.
For the gabled roof OF home arose
Der the sheen Of the orchards snow,
And is still my shrine, when storms repose
And the gnarly branches blow;
And the music of childhood's singing heart,
That was lost in the backward gloom,
May be heard when the robins meet and part
At the feast Of apple BLOOM.
And think when the trees display crown,
Like the CLEAN OF a resting dove,
Ola face that was framed in trcsses brown
Aud aglow with mothers love;
At the end of the orchard path she stands,
And laugh at my manhood's doom,
As my spirit dies with lifted hands,
To the feast ofapple bloom.
When the rainbow paths of faded skies
Are restored with the diamond rain,
And'thc joys of my wasted paradise
Are returning to earth again,
II is saddcr than death to know how brief
Arc the smiles that the dead assume;
But momcntalowed, flying leaf
From the feast ofappc bloom.
But golden arch forever shines
In the dim and darkening past,
Where stand again, as day declines,
And the world is bright and vast
For the glory that lies along the lane,
Is endcared with sweet perfume,
And the world Is ours, and we are twain
At the feast ofrpple bloom.
She was NOR than fairin the wreath she wore
OF the creamy buds and blows,
And she returns to me from the speechless
shore
When the Towering orchard gows;
And sigh for the dreams 80 sweet and swift
That are laid In a sacred tomb
Yet are nothing atlast but fragrant drift
From the feast Of apple bloom.
