Chureh Debt R.i.,nrnvI.as,e,.


 Emulating the example of the two ladies in New Britain who recently, by their own exertions, lifted a debt of $2O, 900 from 8 church there, Mrs. W. R. Mott and Miss Libbie Smith have set out to raise the means with which to cancel the indebtedness of $2,- 100 on the Congregational church in Ansonia. Some months ago an effort was made to pay this debt, the ladies assuming $500 of it, the membership and congregation to provide the remainder The ladies had raised their part some time ago, but the fund was invaded to pay other obligations of the church. The defciency has, however, been made good, or nearly so. by the ladies themselves, and as the remaining $1, 600 has not yet been pro- vided the two named have set out to raise the money, acting, we understand, in the name of the ladies' society. Rev. MT. Payson gave them g send-of in g sermon on benevolence Sunday morning Yalsg EMtiacl.
