Father and Child in One Casket.
 Thomas Matthews and his child lay last night in one casket in the repose of death. The .chi1d's head rested upon a silk pillow upon which was inscribed "Our Darling" The mother of the newborn babe daughter of Mrs. Cornelius Platt, lay in an adjacent room at 35 Broadway, very low and in 8 criti- cal state. The father died the day before, and during the night the child was delivered dead, the mother terribly prostrated by her great bereavement. In the casket the child lay at the fathers left hand, his right hand stretched upon it as if protecting and caressing the little charge The affection be- tween husband and wife, who had been mar ried less than year, had told of enduring happiness, but the rude hand of death leaves the household peculiarly desolate with the mother lowering near the confines of the fu- ture. Mr. Newton, the undertaken, beauti fully had disposed the remains for the last sadceremonies. The home of death was vis- tied by many friends and neighbor yester- day with offers and offices of tender sympa- thy. The deceased was native of London, England, and came here seven years ago. He was superintendent of Joseph Beckel's corset factory on Center street, and a very superior workman. He was member of the Knights of Pythias, belonging to Birmingham lodge, which he joined when employed in the Opti- calsNeedle works there some years ago, and a delegation of the Knights will come to attend the funeral, which takes place at o'clock to- day The burial will be in Evergreen cem- etery. The girls employed by MT. Beckel have contributed for the funeral handsome floral pillow with the word 'tFriend' wrought upon it. The employees will attend in body

 meeting of the Waterbury Knights of Pythias was held last evening to form sec- ton of the endowment rank to include mem bers between the ages of fifty and sixty years. The Temperance Revival at English Hall.
 English Hall has been full every night this week, some nights packed, by people who are interested in temperance Last night the platform was filled with reformed men HUH OuAA1OINI "AO 6ASAcu IA0 p4SOSS G"O years and a half ago, when Mir. Frost worked there in the interests of temperance. The meeting was really most stirring one. Af- tera few remarks by Rev. MT. Frost testimo- nies were given by Messrs. Norton, Graves, Griswold and Dirkn of Guilford. They said that Mir Frost came to Guilford un- known, and the people were so annoyed at his strange methods that they thought some thing must be wrong with him. A telegram was sent to the Congregational minister of Winchester, Mass, where Mir. Frost lived, asking who was this Frost. The answer came back signed by the clergyman, 'sFrost is all right" The people then took hold of the work and large number of men were re- deemed A Reform club was organized, which now numbers over two hundred mem- bers. One of the gentlemen who spoke had been hard drinking man for nearly forty years, but he stopped off short two years and 8 half ago, when he signed MT. Frost's pledge, and has never drank since. It was stated that of those who signed the pledge at that time, fifteen or twenty were considered drunkards, and that not one of these has broken his pledge. After these remarks MT. Frost again spoke and fairly thrilled his au- dience in an address of unusual power. An after meeting was then held and twelve per sons rose for prayers. These meetings seem to be doing great good and may result, as the chief workers in them hope, in great tenn perance and religious revival

Trouble i'm the Boys Club.

For several nights past there have been un- ruly boys who have apparently visited the etBoys' Club'' in the old State House for the purpose of creating a disturbance. Several of them have been arrested, and last evening boy named William Ehler was arrested and taken to the station house for the same cause. He was locked up with those much older in crime, and it would appear that there should be some place provided for these boys rather than the general prison. In this connection it may be said that the "Boys' Club" is under the management of theolog- ical students who are trying to do all the good they can for the rising generation, and they should be protected in their honest endeavor. Mir. John O. Collins is not at present in any way connected with the management or con- trol of the club

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 One of those happy events for which Woodbridge society is acquiring an extended reputation, owing to the careful and appro- priate preparations which are made and the graceful manner in which the details are car ried out by the Congregational pastor and his people, took place on Wednesday even- ing, November IT, at the Congregational church in Woodbridge. In this case the in- terested parties were MT. Silas J. Baldwin, son of County Commissioner M. E. Baldwin, and Miss Nellie E., daughter of MT. Lewis Hitchcock, who were united in wedlock at o'clock by the pastor of the church, Rev. s. P. Marvin. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the bride and groom standing, during the ceremony, under graceful arch entwined with evergreens, and suspended from which was beautiful basket of flowers. A bank of flowers, bask- cts, vases, hanging plants and other appro- priate floral and evergreen tributes also adorned the vicinity of the pulpit. The church was completely filled with large eoncourse of friends from Woodbridge New Haven, Seymour, Orange and elsewhere.
 The Dr1Q0 was dUOTu6u W1GA DOdub1Au garnet silk, gracefully covered by veil, and looked lovely. The groom, young man much respected, was dressed in the usual black Both presented fine appearance. As the couple entered the church Prof. c. T. Walker performed appropriate selections on the organ, and subsequently, played the wedding march as they were departing. The ring ceremony as performed by Rev. s. P. Marvin is largely original with him, and is an exceedingly beautiful impressive and appro- priate ceremony. It was carried out in the manner for which the pastor has justly acquired wide reputation. The ush- CTS were William Perkins, of New Haven, and Charles J. Peck, of Woodbridge. The happy couple left late in the evening for New Ha- ven, where they took the New York boat They contemplate visiting Washington before their return They are accompanied by the best of wishes for most abundant prosperity and happiness by their many friends.
