Rev. w. H. H. Murray has plan for the 'Church of the Future, that is attracting con- siderable attention. It is to start under the auspices of an undenominational organization, Consisting of twelve trustees; five from Boston; one from each New England state; and with the governor of Massachusetts as chairman It is to have the liberalest possible creed con- sistent with Christianity of any sort two per- manent preachers, each taking one service ev- cry Sunday; and third, free" service is to be open to 'the widest possible expression of thought universal piety and public opinion !" The building must be large enough to seat 5000 people, who he estimates, will contribute enough to support ordinary church and pas- toral expenses. and leave d yearly surplus for charity of $40, 900. There is to be a fine or gan, and constant cheap concerts of good mu- sic
 All this may seem trifie dreamy but there are elements of successas well as of failure ob- vious in the plan. The Moody and Sankey meetings show the prevalent tendency to dis regard denominational distinctions at least among ortl odox, evangelical Christians. Cath olics and Episcopalians hold aloof and it is not probable that Orthodoxy of any kind will affil- fate with Unitarianism and Universalism. Still some sort of union among orthodox evan gelicals would seem possible, at least for ex- ceptional purposes like those proposed by Mir. Murray. It will require all John Wesley's genius for organization, however, to make such scheme success; and we have no faith whatever in the effective working of such a beard of trustees as MT. Murray proposes

 Pierce & Norton have had their usual re- opening at Cempounce Pond. A great many invalids, lovers of nature and pleasure seek ers are flocking to that romantic dell to view and admire the picturesque scenery. On one side is the lake, looking like large basin of water reiecting the sky, clouds and mountains, and on the west the mountains loom in awful grandeur. There is drive of one mile about this little lake. There is hushed, peaceful seclusion. about the scenery that makes one-yes, two-think they are in a world of bliss. At the end of mile they awake to ask if life is but an empty dream and, ever after, that half hour seems a brief experience of paradise. There is alegend con- nected with the name of this lake, It is not very romantic, but I give it as tradition hands it down. Some two hundred years ago there was an Indian by the name of John Acom- bounce, or Warumcompounce, belonging to the Tunxis tribe that came over the west mountain to fish and hunt every year. and whose camping grounds were traced until within few years by arrow heads and pette- ". But, as the legend goes, Acompounce was an expert swimmer, and one day he pro- posed to swim across the lake, perhaps quar- of mile, with large kettle strapped to him. He started on his perilous voyage, and when midway between shore and shore, by some un- lucky movement, the kettle began to fill and John Acompounce went to the bottom in the presence of the tribe to whom the loss of the kettle was irreparable. So the waters took his name. give the story as have often heard it from the lips of the oldest inhabitants though find no mention of it in Rev. Heman R. Tin lows ecclesiastical and other sketches of Seuthington. We find "Jehn Acompeunce and brother, two Indians, who signed deed in 1874, conveying the Mattatuck Waterbury tract of land. They and all who signed this deed are called the Pennington Indians, that is of the Tunxis tribe" JOHN.
