An Important Suit.

One of the most important suits that has been brought in this State for years is that of the Wallace Brothers against the Oneida Community, both of Wallingford. The Wal lace Brothers manufacture spoons and forks. The branch of the Oneida Commu- nifty at Wallingford also manufactures spoons, and it is said they sold $1O0,0O0, worth in 1880. The suit is brought by the Wallaces to prevent the Community people from making any more steel spoons These are plated and enormous quantities are sold all over the world, they proving cheap and serviceable. While the Wallaces make solid silver, German silver aud other spoons be- sides steel, the bulk of the Community s manufacture is of steel The following at torneys are engaged in the case: For the Wallace brothers-Benjam F. Thurston of Providence, R. l.; John s. Beach of this city Charles E. Mitchell of New Britain, and L. M. Hubbard of Wallingford. For the Community--Mr. Dickerson, very able New York lawyer; ex-Governor Ingerson of this city, and Turner & Joslyn, the regular attor- neys for the Oneida Community. Either next Monday or the Monday following the taking of the testimony will begin in this city.

The ladies of St. John's church will hold another of their oyster suppers at the house of Mrs. H. R. Pierpont on Wednesday even- ing of this week. All are invited. They are also making arrangements for dramatic en- tertainment to be held at Stiles Hall two evenings of next week.
 The Willing Workers have their bills out for their second oyster supper, to be held in the lecture room of the Congregational church on Thursday evening of this week. They will also present a few tableaux at this time. The proceeds of the supper will be applied to the Park fund.
 Linsley's Hall was well filled last Thurs day evening on the occasion of Mrs. E. F. Campbelps lecture on q Woman, her life at home and abroad,'' and all were deeply inter ested in the manner in which she compared our American women with those of England, France, Switzerland and other countries. The music given by Mir. Clinton and his quartette was very acceptable. The next lecture of the course will be given on Thurs day evening, Feb.s 17th, when Mir A. E. Smith, Yale ,s3, will speak on a Roman life and character and Q quartette from the Yale Glee club will sing.
 The miniature sewing circle which the Register man carried home from the last Willing Workers oyster supper will doubtless by it's magnetic influences draw a large attendance at the meeting of the Ladies' Benevolent society on Thursday af- ternoon. For further particulars see Fridays Regtster
 Mir. H. B. Fowler was sledding wood up the Quinnipiac river this morning. We hope he will not forget the fate of the consecrated horses and his own experience on horse rack.
