Letter from Chestnut Hill,

Life in this quiet portion of Hartford is usual
ly uneventful, but the monoony was broken on
Monday night, at the Methodist Protestant Par.
sonage, about one mile from this place. Short
ly after dark the members of Deer Creek congre-
CATION paid an unexpected and unannounced
visit to their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Livingston. They
came in wagons, in buggies and on foot, filling
the house completely. The pastor and his famiE.
ly, although taken by surprise, gave hearty
welcome TO their visitors. The evening was
spent In social and pleasant manner, and after
singing several hymns and the benedicton by
the pastor the visitors retired at late hour
They left behind them, however, some substan-
tial tokens of their visit in piles of good things
to replenish the larder of their esteemed pastor
and his family
A very pleasant wedding party took place in
this neghborhood, during the icy weather
Some of the old folks, when they reached their
home, were unable to ascend the hill on which
their house stands. Two young men who were
fortunate enough to get up, conceived the bril-
liant idea of assisting them by getting long
pole, which was reached down to them, and by
means of which they got safely into the house
If they were not strict teeotalers it might be
concluded that the cider at the party was too
strong. As they are temperance folks, they can
afford TO laugh at their awkward predicament

Lecture on MOhammedanism in Statewide


The residents of our cities and large towns
possess many advantages for entertainment and
instruction which we who dwell in small coun-
try. places seldom If ever enjoy. A course of
lectures Is now considered almost an lndispcnsa-
BILE luxury in the more progressive cities and
towns, and popular Lecturers command prices
that seem almost fabulous
FOR some weeks past many of us have been
waiting IN happy anticipation of the appearance
OF MAYOR A. Nj. Hancock of Hartford county,
Md, who very kindly consented to deliver his
lecture on Mohammedanism for the benefit of
SlateVile Church. Last evening the iIajor, true
to his engagement, arrived at the church in good
time
After the singing of few choice selections
by the choir, under the able direction of Mr.
Dodson, The lecturer was introduced by the
Pastor, Rev. d. NJ. Davenport. For upwards of
IN hour the audience were delighted, MS the lee
turer depicted the condition of the Christian
religion III the beginning Of the sixth century,
the ldolairy OF Semitic nations and the rise and
rapid extension of the religion of Islam-pro-
claiming as lis cardinal doctrine, ''There is no
God but Allah and Mohammcd is his Prophet ~
HIS recital OF the historical and tradtiunary
events, connected with the BIRTH carly life and
religious zeal Of Mohammed were exceedingly
Instructive. His description of the engineering
ana architectural achievements of the Moorish
hlngs of Spain In the construction of wonderful
aqueducts, for supplying their cities with water;
the erection of beautiful temples for worship;
closing with an elaborate description of the
grand palace Of Alhambra, with all of which
wonders his sixteen years residence in Malaga
MS United States Consul, rendered him perfectly
familiar, were intensely interesting. The lecture
was certainly great success, and for absorbing
interest and elegance of expression will compare
tavouDly with the best efforts of the most pop
ular orators Of the age Mack

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COURT RooM-
by the direction of Judge Waters some
needed and very excellent improvements
have been made in the court room. Three
rows of benches, arranged i'm sem-circlcs, as
in theatres, have been placed in the space be-
tween the bar and the vestibule. They will
seat comfortably at least one hundred per-
sons and will be appreciated by witnesses
and others attending court The seats be-
ing provided, every one is expected to be
seated, and thus much of the noise and con.
fusion created by the shuffling of feet will be
obvated. The jury box has been moved
nearer the clerks desk and the bar table. A
strong and neat walnut railing encoses it.
The witness stand has also been moved few
feet towards the east side of the ROOM This
position will enable witness to be heard
more distinctly by court and counsel, as well
as by the jury, than when standing, as for
merly, with his back partly towards the
court. The backs of the benches are of al
ternate strips of walnut and ash the ends of
cypress with walnut panels, and are not only
neat but strong and durable. The work was
done in II very creditable manner by Mcssrs,
Patrick Dunnegan and John F. Lipgan, car
penters. The filling up ofspace, rs described,
has also made decided improvement in the
acoustic qualities of the room, which will be
gratifying to both speakers and hearers
The Improvement is one that has long been
needed, and in ourjudgment the money has
been well spent,

How TO Obtain Pension Arrears.

We have received from Hon. Charles b.
Roberts circular letter issue by the Commits.
sioner OF Pensions designed to protect soldiers
ana beneficiaries of the new pension law from
the needless eXactions of claim agents. The
Commissioner distinctly states that persons
who arc entitled TO arrears of pension under
the act Of January 25, 1870, and whose pen
slons have been granted previous to that date.
VIII not require the assistance ofany attorney
or agent in obtaining the amount due to them
He gives force to the suggestion by declaring
that "all correspondence in relation to anv
claim for such arrears will be with the per-
son entitled, and no claim agent will be re-
cognizcd in such claim"
Every pensioner who is entitled to arrears
OF pension, under the recent act of CONGRESS
should at once address letter to the Com
missioner of Pensions, signed by the pen
sloner who was in receipt of the last pension
paid, attested by two witnesses as TO the
identity of the claimant, and certified by n
magistrate. The pension certificate should
not be sent to Washington; but it must be
exhibited to the two witnesses and the magis-
trate, who attest and certify In order TO
facilitate the application of pensioners, the
Commissioner has prepared the following
firm of letter and certificate, which pension.
ers should follow literally except in filling
blanks:
