East Haven.

George Porter, of East Haven carpen- ter, while employed in the office of the New Haven Ice company doing some joiner work, fell of from step ladder Monday afternoon and broke two ribs.
 The school district at South Haven held a meeting recently and voted the use of the school house for the Cove Sunday services which, the coming summer, will be held there by the Cove summer residents instead of at the gospel tent. The school house, which is a two story building, will accommodate more down stairs than could be well got together in the gospel tent. The gospel tent services have proved so popular and been attended so generally by the people of the section that they are thus to be continued on larger scale than heretofore, much to the satisfac- tion of many people.
 MT. Dickerman, senior, the florist, seeds man and nurseryman, is, through annexa- tion, once more resident of New Haven, in which he was born, raised and resident for fifty years, being formerly of Westville.. His farm is included in the limits of the annexed territory.

 At the Calvary Baptist church, Sunday evening, the pastor preached the first of a series of sermons, the subject being the "Good Samaritan" without written line before him he discoursed in manner that held the attention of all present. The pre- cept inculcated was, that we should not pass by on the other side, but should follow the example of the Good Samaritan" obeying Christ's command, ''Go thou and do like wise" The following passage find among my memoranda of the sermon, and for true beauty and power believe it is rarely ex- celled:
 ''Go thou and do likewise. O matchless, exquisite teaching! O rare and wondrous teacher In all the centuries that yet may come, as in all the centuries that have gone since the man of Nazareth, our brother and neighbor, walked the earth, this matchless precept of duty shall be the handspring of all philanthrophy, of all Christian benevo- lence, of all that beautifies and blesses the ruar1d f3

This allusion is accompanied by a gift of books to Harvard.

New Locomotive.

The new engine number 9s, of the Consol- dated road, turned it's drivers for the first time Wednesday in New Haven. Engineer Bronson has it in charge. Number 98 is the twin of number 97 in every particular. Its cylinders are 1Sx24, and it's drivers feet 6 inches. It was run in this city Wednesday with only two drivers, the side rods not hgv- ing been put on yet The fast express leav- ing New York at o'clock in the afternoon and arriving here at 5:3s has not been able to make time for a long time,z and@it has been decided to make change. The train has been pulled by number 97, and the original intention was to run only nine cars, but the travelling public like to ride fast. and the re- suit is that the cars have been over crowded, people prefering to stand rather than ride on some slower train. Additional cars have been put on until ten and eleven have been run. but it is impossible to make time with this number It has been done only once with eleven cars, and then all the conditions were favorable Finding it impossible to make time in any other way, it has now been decided to reduce the number of cars and run two trains, fifteen minutes apart. These trains will be pulled by the twin engines, numbers 97 and 9S. We understand that the arrangement will go into effect soon.

rate of 271 per 1000; in Philadelphia

1t is remarkable that while through
out our Southern region there is a uni
versal complaint of long continued
drouth, and in our immediate vicinity
no rain to speak of has fallen for the
past month, a few hundred miles east
of us they are complaining of too much
rain. The Hartford Times of Wednes
day speaks of the ''protracted duration
Of cloud and rain" during the latter half
of the present month, and says: Rain
has fallen (if we count today on nine
consecutive days, and during much of
this long spell Of wet weather it has
fairly stormed. The ground in this re
gion is thoroughly soaked. For once,
there is no want of rain. 1t is to be
hoped no drouth will follow this long
down pour. Farmers will have to re-
plant some of their crops"

In public schools where Bible reading

In public schools where Bible reading
is a part of the exercises there may now
arise question as to which version OF
the New Testament shall be used. The
new revision cannot be sanctioned by
the Protestant Episcopal Church fol
nearly six years to come; the Baptists
have version of their own, which &C.
cords with their views; the Universalists
are said to be likely to approve the new
revision as more liberal than the old, and
as affording more and better foundations
for their doctrines-and so, through the
list of denominations The new revision
is not likely to be accepted generally, OF
even by all Protestant denominations,
and thus the question as to what version
shall be used in public schools may arise.
Heretofore it has been held that the
Lords Prayer afforded a common ground
for devotional exercises in schools, but
the new revision has changed even that,
and thus affords at least a pretext fol
the disuse of the prayer

ANOTHER FAITH CURE.-It is going
the rounds now that a Mr.. James W.
Powell, of Kentucky, a son in.law of ex-
Congressman Young, was miraculously
cured short time since. He had man
aged to hobble out of the house by the
help of his crutches, and had taken a
seat in the sunshine. He had for months
been dangerously i'll, and now while he
rested in the balmy air of May, sudden
ly, like flash of lightning aud without
the slightest warning, it is said he was
thrown by some invisible force fiat on
his face. He arose in a moment per
fectly well. The way this marvellous
cure is explained, is that prayer of
faith, offered at a distance of ten
miles from Mr. Powell for his recovery,
was thus instantaneOusly answered.
This is another one of the wonderful
stories which is now being circulated as
Illustrative of the remarkable Kentucky
revival that is following the preaching
and prayers of Evangelist Barnes.

The negro convention in North Caro-
lima, the other day, whereat resolutions
were adopted to the effect that there was
too much ''spittoon and broom" in the
treatment of the colOred people of that
State, as far as Federal patronage was
concerned, is said to have been wholly
engineered by Fool" Tourgee, who
hopes to fight his way to fame and Office
at the head of the colored phalanxes of
''the old North State" The convention
appointed a delegation of twenty-five
negroes to wait on Garfield and ask him
to turn over the Federal patronage to
them. 1t is true that Garfield himself
made this suggestion, but it is extremely
doubtful whether he will receive its
practical application coollY and calmly.
Many Republican papers declare the
visit to be piece of impertinence, and
do not hesitate to declare that Tourgee
was nearer right than he thought when
he chose his peculiar title for his autobi
agraphical novel.

There is evidently something wrong
with our reciprocity treaty with Hawaii
All the commercial reports place the
Hawaiian sugar crop for this season at
10000 tons, yet the importation of sugar
from the islands into the port of San
Francisco alone will exceed 1000 tons.
1t looks very much as if the reciprocity
treaty was being used to import sugar
from other countries free of duty. The
estimated receipts of sugar at San Fran
cisco for the present year is 50, 900 tons,
which is about one-twelfth of all used
in the United States. 1t is clear that all
of this is not consumed on the Pacific
coast, although the Hawaiian treaty was
passed by Congress on the pretense of
benefting that section of the country
alone.
