Connecticut Hospital For the INSANE.
The board of trustees for the Connecticut
Hospital for the Insane, which is located at
Middletown, has taken action in the matter
of modestly celebrating the 18th anniversary
of its organization, which was effected ON the
Goth of July, 1866. At the last quarterly
meeting of the board held ON the 9Th of June,
COMMITTEES was appointed to make suitable
arrangements for the occasion, and as soon
as the details are agreed upon they viii be
made public. The names of the committee
are as follows H. Sidney Hayden, Windsor;
the Rev. Samuel g. Willard, Colchester; Dr.
A. w. Alsop and DIR. Shew, of Middletovn.
OF the original eight trustees of one from a
county, four are still serving in that capacity
as follows: n. Sidney Hayden, B. s. Fell
lows, Robbins Battel and the Rev. Samuel G.
willard. The board of trustees as at present
constituted is composed of one from coun-
ty with the Governor as presiding officer,
and three others selected from Middletown.
The board has always acted with the most
complete harmony. and although it has dis
penssd nearly $3.50, 600 of State money it is q
noteworthy fact that every vote taken by the
board during the past fifteen years has been
unanimous except in single instance and
then there was only one dissenting voice

EVENING SESSION.

chair, the annual meeting of the Missionary
society of the diocese was held, and the re-
ports were presented by Hon. Benjamin
Stark, of New Lopdon, secretary and treas
urer of the society, concerning the condition
of the society and the work of the year.
Although it was still wet weather, there was
quite number present, of members of the
different parishes in this city, both ladies
and gentlemen, beside the members of the
convention. After. Mr.. Stark had finished
his report Rev. Dr. Deshon, of Meriden,
arose and wanted to know why $500 rental
was paid for the church in Putnam He
wished the matter ventilated for the interest
of the mission cause. After some enquiry
Mr.. Stark was enabled to give the informa-
ton. The rental of $500 was paid Rev. y.
W. Clark, who erected the church, pending
the decision of question of title. DIR. Tat
lock stated that Mr.. Clark in his zeal for the
mission work had advanced money to help
build the church, and then the church cost
more. There was also o loan of "a, 600 from
the savings bank. Mr.. Stark made dstailed
statement of the case. The church has cost
in all about $17, 900 or $1s, 900.
Mr.. Stark. in reply to gentleman, said
that Mr. Clark was not to blame. He had
simply fallen into the hands of an architect
and drifted into building finer church than
they could afford. Il was fine church in
that section. The society paid Mr.. Clark
rent instead of interest ON mortgage. The
parish was not q strong one, and as all real
estate had fallen in value probably it would
not now sell for more than the claims against
t. Another society would probably take the
building IL it had to be sold. Isl sl4aea
DIR. Deshon insisted upon the importance
and the obligation of the Missionary society
to hold the church. and secure il to the So
ciety. The meeting was then resolved into
the Church Scholarship society and the fol.
lowing lay directors were chosen:
Hon. Mr.. Stark, New London Judge
John g. Hollister, New Haven; Elisha john
son, Hartford; VIM. Nash, Stratford Chas
A. Warren, Watertown.
The convention continues to-day.

Prohibition Progress in West Nir-
ginia.

1t was stated in argument before
the State Senate, last winter, and,
we believe, correctly, that there
were then thirty counties Of the
State that granted nolicense to the
liquor-traffic Since the first of
May nine more counties, namely,
Monongalia, Mason, Randolph,
Harrison, Peasants, Marion, Put
nam, Fayette and Summers have
refused to grant license, making in
all thirty-nine counties in the State
where the traffic is now absolutely
prohibited by law None of these
counties are likely to return to the
license system.
OF the fifteen counties that still
throw the arm of the law around
this "branch of commerce" the traf-
fic is confined to narrow proportions
IN Hampshire, Hardy, Logan, Nor
gan and Wayne; while in the 9th
er ten counties license can be had
for the asking. But if we mistake
not the signs Of the times, the day
is not far distant when every coun-
ty will be free. To this end we re-
joice and hail with delight the com
ing Of the nine counties, that have
lately wheeled into line.
As it is a matter Of interest,
doubtless, to all of our readers, we
give the list of counties refusing IL
cense, and of those that grant it.
Those refusing license are-Bar-
bour, Boone, Braxton, Brooke, Cal
houn, Clay, Doddridge, Fayette,
Gilmer, Grant, Greenbrier, Han
cock, Harrison, Jackson, Lincoln,
Mcdowell, Marion, Marshall Mason,
Mercer, Monongalia, Nicholas, PEN
dleton, Peasants, Pocahontas, Pres
ton, Putnam, Raleigh, Randolph,
Richie, Roane, Summers, Taylor,
Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Webster,
Writ and Wyoming,
Those granting license are
Berkeley, CabelI, Hampshire, Har-
dy, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Lo-
gan, Mineral, Monroe, Morgan,
Ohio, Wayne, Wetzel and Wood.
We think the above list is correct.
If we are mistaken as to any Of
them, we would be glad to be in
formed.

That Temperance Plank

The Pittsburg Christian Adr0cate
quotes and comments as follows;
At the State Convention, held at
Cleveland, the Republicans put the
following plank in their platform :;
Resolred, That the public inter
ests require that the General AS,
sembly should submit to vote OF
the people such amendments to the
Constitution of the State relative
to the manufacture, sale and use OF
Intoxicating liquors, as shall leave
the whole matter to legislation,
What does this mean? is 1T not
under the control Of legislation
now? Has not the Legislature
been legislating upon the subject
ever since Ohio was a State? Is
this designed to hoodwink the tenn
perance men as to the conduct OF
the Legislature last winter touch
ing the prohibitory amendment?
Either there is something more in
this plank than presents itself to
us, or it is merely a child's rattle
intended to divert the attention OF
temperance voters from the short
comings of the party.
The Advocate asks what the resO-
luton means? What an imperti-
nent question, to be sure! In all
liquor selling States, is it not well
known that it is the business and
study Of political conventions to
get in a temperance plank shaped
and polished to mean nothing? And
it is remarkable how ingenious pol
iticians have grown in this fine art ;
for it has become one of the fine
arts in political trade, to say the
most on temperance and mean the
least.
We are reminded of the ingenui-
ty of an old preacher who was in
curing the way across a strip Of
woods. A woods-woman, at her
cabin-door, was pointing out the
way and insisting that he couldn't
get lost-"keep right on, and you
can't get lost" Eyes, but I know
better" said the preacher; 81 know
I can get lost; you don't know how
ingenious I am"
Now, if temperance voters Of
Ohio are ingenious enough to get
lost i'll the woods by that resolution,
and can be led to cross the Rubicon
of another political campaign on
that as temperance plank, why
surely their ingenuity is far in adj
vance Of the preachers. 'Legislate
to leave the whole matter to legis-
lation " How is that for trans
lucency, anyhow
