 Whereas it has pleased Almighty God in His supreme wisdom to aff1ict this association friend and member, William E. Cutting therefore
 Resolved. That in his decease, not only we as an association, but also the whole com. munity have lost valuable friend and helper and one who ever took lively interest in our welfare and to whose energy in the beginning of this association, we are especially indebted He was man who gained respect by his up- right and Christian character, and while mourning his early departure, we take pleas. ure in the thought that our loss is his great gain.
 Resolved. That our sincere and heartfelt sympathy be rendered to the afflicted family and friends, especially to the bereaved widow, hoping that He in whom her husband trusted, may be her support in this hour of deep afaiction.
 Resolved. That these resolutions be in- corporated in the records of this association as a memorial of our departed fellow member. Resolved. That the Secretary be instruct ed to forward copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased, and also to the CONN. WESTERN NEWS, Berkshire Courier, and Pittsfeld Eagle for publication.

appoint Friday, the twenty-sixth day of March, current, to be observed throughout this State as day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer.
 And on that day may all the people of the State gather with one accord in their places of worship, and diligently draw nigh unto God that He may draw nigh unto us. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers. He showed His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His judgments unto Israel. Putting aside every fear of man, trusting alone in Omnipotence, let the high praises oi God be in our mouth. In meeknees, con- fessing our sins, let us ask for seed time and harvest, for fruitful seasons, for His care oi the widow and the fatherless, that we may be shielded from pestilence, that the sick may be restored, and that the desolate may be com forted; and, more than else, let us ask that the dayspring from on high may visit us to guide our feet in the way of peace. Given under my hand and the seal of the State, at the Capitol in Hartford, this eleventh day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eighty, and o the independence of the United States the one hundred and fourth.

barefoot in the winter" Had all of us borne moro of hardship in early life, we might be more healthy in old age.
 Another way of testing the strength of the muscle was in hopping two hops and jump or three jumps. Ithamar Woodin, Wm. Pat terson, and the writer, once ran and hopped thirty-six feet in front of the old store Philip Stewart would stand and jump eleven feet, but the best jumper in town was George Bundy, now of Lakeville, who as we heard at the time, would stand and jump twelve feet. These men would hop and jump the distance named back and forth over the same ground
 On camp meeting occasion lit tie east of the old Deming stand, York State bully, the worse for liquor, was determined to fight Woodin. Ithamar was one of the best natur- ed men living, and hated intensely anything like quarrels or brols. On the occaslon named he tried to avoid the man, and left the barroom and went to the horse barn. The bully soon followed, and commenced rougher than ever going so far as to collar Ith. The good natured giant took him by the coat col lar and running back toward the door, gave his antagonist sudden jerk, lifted him from his feet, and hurling him nearly over his head, he landed ten or twelve feet from the door. It was hard fall, and it cured effectually any desire the man had to fight Woodin.
 Coonrod MyIntyre was another man in whom was the strength of giant. Once at l r T.; him quite unexpected There was in earlier time good deal of bitter feeling between the mountain boys, or "Mountaineers," as the downtown boys called them, and themselves On the occasion of which we are writing, ore Jim Chintly had drank to intoxication, and some of the Furnace Village boys, as Lake vile was then called, were bent on putting Jim in the brook.

"Reminiscences of Earlier Times
BY REV. H. s. BALL.

ED. NEWS Tn the brief note sent you I find one mistake, Ith0nedr Wo0dSn, and not "1honaas' was the wood chopper who cut and piled six cords per day. "Ith" was the familiar name by which he was known; he was man of prodigious strength. On the mountain, (Mt. Riga) men tried their muscle by hopping, jumping, and the lifting of heavy weights of iron. The man who could raise at dead lift five hundred pounds was consider
 ed strong man. There were several that could do that, some who could lift more. Henry Beicher could once lift ten fifty six pound weights, five hundred and sixty pounds, James Harvey, Thomas Day, Jr., about the same. But Ith Woodin could lift twelve so could 'Manley Wilbur" Ralph Greatrack was about the same measure. John Bennett had six sons, measuring thirty-six feet, and weighing eleven hundred pounds. They were all men of unusual strength. We once asked uncle John "how it happened that he raised so manylboys, and all so strong, healthy and heavy" "I give them," said the old man, ia half portion johnny cake, and let them go
