A fellowship meeting was held in the first church here, on Thursday, Feb. 13th and al though the travelling was bad in consequence of the recent rain, which carried off most of most of the snow, leaving much ice, the churches invited were we'll represented, viz: Woodbury North, Bethlehem, Watertown, Middlebury, Southbury, South Britain and Roxbury. The sermon at Il o'clock, a. m., by Rev. MT. Marshall, of Middlebury, was eX- cellent and received undivided attention. Text, truth, the spirit of God dweIleth in you" A short recess in the days services gave op- portunity for plaln lunch furnished by the ladies at their rooms opposite the church, to which ample justice was done, refreshing the ''inner man." About one o'clock, D. m., con- menced the discussion of the question, "What are the means of greater church efficiency ?" opened by Rev. Mir. Bryant of South Britain, who was ably followed by both pastors and laymen. Should each individual of the con- gregation follow the suggestions of that dis cussion, the church would be indeed power in the community. for the advancement of its interests and the up-building of Zion. Sacred songs were interspersed in the exercises under the guidance of Mir. Buckingham who has singing classes two evenings each week in the lecture room of the church.
 The sudden death of Mr. Henry F. Sum- mers adds another to the number of men Wcodbury can ill afford to lose. Of unques- tioned integrity of character, in the prime of life, long connected with the First church, strongly attached to it's ordinances and deeply interested in it's prosperity, for many years on it's standing committee, and for the last four years it's clerk, his removal causes vacancy that is felt but falls more heavily on his wife, and aged, widowed mother, left alone in their desolate home, the strong staff taken away on which they leaned.

ONE SRRNoN-At our annual Society meet ing. Last week, vote was passed recommend ing 0nly one preaching service on the Sab bath.
 LkcrUREs.-Mr. R. s. Hallock of West Winsted, was to give us lecture, last week. Not arriving in season, Miss Octavia Wsd- hams, by request read very interesting pa per prepared for the next Temperance Meeting and when the lecturer arrived, we learned that the cause of the delay was turnover in the snowdrifts, he having attempted to come over the hills The subject was, the Arctic Story, and he gave us an interesting account of the attempts to reach Behring Strait from the East, and the North Pole. He had a large map of tho frozen regions, made by himself, but think he will improve it, for evening use, by painting the countries much deeper color.
 We also had large temperance meeting, sabbath evening, this week, and Mir. w. J. s. McAllister. who is teaching school in the Southeast part of Cornwall, (whose home think is iii New Haven) gave us one of the most interesting lecture we have had on that subject.
 MINNESOTA WATER.-I have a paper from John Brewster, son of Geo. s. Brewster for merly of Goshen, and it appears that in that part of Minnesota they sink wells little over 100 feet, and obtain great streams of water in the village, and in the Country about Into some they put six inch tubes, and in one there IS a tube three feet in diameter which SUD- piled the hotel, families, and farm houses. But one day just before Christmas, they sank well on the Brewster farm, and the water came out in such quantities that they cant control it, and the other wells in the neighbor. hood have dried up, and water is as scarce as whisky in town where the people have voted no license

Discovery of a Brick Mine.


During the week, while some work
men employed by E. r Davis were
engaged in digging a well just above
town in Willow gulch. they discov-
cred a brick mine Not a mine con
tanning clay suitable for making
brick, but veritable bricks, already
made and burned Thus far the lead
has only produced about 1000, but, as
the walls are well defined, and the
country-rock Of staple character, the
indications are that Mr. Davis has
made a very valuable discovery. the
reported discovery If saap mites aud
soup mines. gold and silver mines,
coal and salt mines, is something not
70 be wondered at, but tbs is the FIRST
Instance of the discovery OF a genuine
brick mine.
