letters. Ivies were trained at the sides of the banner, and added greatly to the effect. On either side of the recess were red banners, with the inscriptions, in white letters, ''King of Kings and Lord of Lords." The raised platform on both sides of the pulpit was filled with beautiful array of flowers in jars; conspicuous among them were three magnificent fuchsias from Miss Lucy Randall's conservatory. Or the table inside the chancel rail was large harp, composed of evergreens, which formed background for an Easter cross of gilt. This was adorned by lovely wreath of fresh flowers. A beautiful johnsonian lily, furnish. ed by Mrs. John Landon of Amesville, and a stately calla, which came from Mrs. F. W. Spurs, were placed at each side of the harp Three small tables, one containing large basket of brilliant cut flowers, the others handsome towering and foliage plants, com pleted the decorations. We are sure the la dies must feel amply repaid for their trouble, by the rare encomiums that were bestowed upon the result of their labors. The praise
 
 School, and conducted by Rev. F. J. Belcher the pastor, was most impressive, and the or gan voluntaries, so finely rendered by Mrs L.. D. Brewster, were listened to with great enjoyment. We can well understand that a public service of this kind, in which the old and young take an equal part, helps to keep the interest of the children in the Sunday School, and to increase their reverence for re- ligion and religious ordinances. JUSTICE. | The funeral of Mrs. Lottie A., wife of Mir. Henry Brinton, whose sudden death was an nounced in your last issue was attended on Wednesday, the 24th, at the house. The services were conducted by Rev. MT. Moore, Rev. MT. Belcher offering very appropriate and earnest prayer. The choir sang, Sister thou vast mild and lovely" 'Jesus while our hearts are bleeding" "Asleep in Jesus." The floral tribute was very beautiful; there were placed upon the casket an anchor of flowers, the gift of the bible class of the Cong Sun- day School, of which Mrs. Brinton was a member, a token of their love and sympathy,
 
 ford by the sisters of the deceased, while back of the casket stood cross and crown, from the father and mother. Mrs. Brinton was the daughter of J. W. Hurlbutt of Stam ford. She was married Nov. 15, 1865. She left two small children who have lost the love and care of a Christian mother. She was a member of the Baptist church in Stamford but an earnest worker for the cause of Christ in the place where she was. She has gone, but her works do follow her. The stlng o death was taken away from her, and the bit terness of sorrow and bereavement is thereby taken from those who mourn her death. The, sorrow not as those without hope Thougl her death came as stroke, short and sharp it was given not in anger, but in love. ANONYMOUS.

the Independent republicans, who revolt az ainst
the Harnlin ring rule, might very likely
carry the state, but the Independents, who seem
to be satisfied with Garfield. will come out to
help the republican national ticket and will
thus save the state for the republicans by
moderate majority. In the Congressional dis

attend TO his quarries. The legislature will be
republican. and that party will be able to sup
ply successor to Senator Hamlln. The con-
test for his shoes Will be sharp between half a
dozen aspirauts, but very likely at the last
moment the old man will conclude to succeed
himself. He usually does. after fooling the
boys awhile with the idea that he means to re-

The fact that DR.. Tanner. instead OF losing
flesh, absolutely gained half a pound on the
seth day Of his fast Of 40 days, serves to
revive the suspicion that the so-called fasting
is fraud and that he has some means of pro-
curing nourishment surreptitiously. one Of
the doctors in attendance says that according
to the teachings OF physiology Tanner ought to
be losing rapidly, and that he is unable to ex-
plain his CTanner'sl condition sow on any other
supposition than that he has taken food. He
Acknowledges. further, that the watch upon
Tanner has not been exact. Altogether the

Active politicians are complaining that the
presidential campaign Is so far duh and spirit
tess, and they express the opinion that 1t will
continue so TO the end. IL Is likely that this
view Is correct; and the fact IS not surprising
nor yet TO be regretted. That the country Is
able to see a presidential election approaching
without getting excited over it is pretty good
evidence that IL Is tolerably well satisfied with
AFFAIRS as they exist: at any rate that it is not
going TO work itself into an unae ;essary fever
10 bring about change. 1t means, further
more, that the people OF the United States have
reasonable confidence In both the presidential
candidates, and do not believe that absolute
ruin and anarchy would follow the election OF
either.
