The boy preacher (Harrison) held forth at
the Methodist church last Saturday and re-
turned again to-day. Several conversions
are reported.
One day last week Roger Davis and Nun
son Bishop went into the woods for wood
and felled tree that lodged in another, and
in cutting that down both trees fell sooner
than they expected and in direction not an
ticipated, entangling Bishop in the limbs and
prostrating him upon the ground with his
head directly under the body of one of the
trees, but as fortune would have it, the tree
fell across rock that kept it from touching
his head, and he escaped with comparatively
slight injuries.
party of Killingworth and Madison pso-
pie came to Guilford last Wednesday on a
sleighing excursion and were escorted by q
few Guilford people and the New England
band through our principal streets to Music
Hall, where they were RECALLED with coffee,
crackers, music by the band and speeches by
our poet, A. j. Benton, and Rev Mr.. Arm
strong, of Killingworth.
Some of our people have their noses frost
ed by trying to get a snuff of Vennor's Janu-
ary thaw and have not SO much as a smell of
it, and from present indications will not have
soon.
For three days. including to-day, our clam
diggers are in luck. with the high west north
west winds and perigee tides they are enabled
to find those much coveted large CLAIMS that
can only be dug on such occasions, and no
doubt the lovers of that bivalve will be served
with the Guilford variety taken all along the
shore from Clinton to Norwalk.

On Wednesday evening Mr.. E. E. Stow, of
Plantsville, invited to his house company
of the relatives and most intimate friends of
Mr.. 81. S. Grannis, to meet the latter previ-
GUS to his removal to Birmingham, where he
is about to go in capacity of superintendent
of the Peck, Stow d Wilcox Co.'s factory in
that place. After the company were assem-
bled, Mr.. Stow called Mr.. and Mrs Grannis
to another room, and when they returned
they found large company of the employees
at the Plantsville factory standing around q
table on which was placed beautiful silver
plated tea set, which Mr.. G. A. Ely present
ed with the following remarks:
'Mr. Grannis. We have come together at
some measure our esteem long cherished for
you, also our regret that your duties to the
company by which you are employed call
you to more extended labors and trusts away
from our midst. Our feelings at this time
are those of gladness tempered with Sadness
combination the most sacred ever felt by
man for man. Glad that you are to be adj
vanced and honored, sad that we are about
to lose one whom we SO much admire and re-
spect. Many among us have known you
from boyhood, have worked for, with and
under you up to the present time; and, with
those whose association with you is of more
recent date wish to say that in all these
months and years nothing has occurred on
your part to create any but the best of feel
ings the utmost respect and sincere regard !;
and wherever you go we know your friend
ship will remain-be ours. Be assured that
our best wishes are ever for you and yours.
1t was the custom of the ancients to engrave
on gold, silver or bronze, the virtues and
good deeds of their friends. In this case,
stamped upon our hearts are many
kind remembrances of you, always to
remain, and we have only placed
upon this your name. We beg you to accept
it, not as an ornament, but use it daily that
the donors may be in your mind, as you are
in ours Work hard, be a good boy, come
and see us as often as you can, is all the ad-
vice we have to give you. And now, after
your acceptance of this gift. permit each
to take you by the hand, and we will then
depart, leaving you to the congratulations of
those still nearer and dearer.
Mr.. Grannis, with much feeling, replied ::
''Shopmates-As you all know, 1 have
never been much of speaker, and on such
an occasion as this I cannot of course be ex-
pected adequately to express my. feelings.
May God bless you ALL"
After hearty handshaking the workmen
retired when the remaining guests crowded
around to offer their congratulations and adj
mire the most tasteful and appropriate gift.
Mr.. Grannis, with his estimabls lady, ex-
poets to remove to Birmingham about the
first of February, and they carry with them
the best wishes of the whole community In
which they have lived, and for the good OF
which they have most efficiently labored.

Doctor II. Hungerford Drake, of Winsted,
having obtained rare copy of old English
history, has been looking up the origin of the
Hungerford family of which he claims to be
a descendant and from whence all of the
name sprang. He finds the first mention of
the name was in 116O and traces the line
down to about the year 1850, when Sir Thorn
as Hungerford became the first Speaker of
the House of Commons, from which the for
tunes of the family took rise and it became
one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic
of those days. The doctor has had a photo
graph of Sir Thomas copied from likeness
in the old history also the family coat-of-
arms and views of the entrance of the old
Hungerford castle, now for the most part in
ruins.

Ex-Governor r. D. Hubbard has an assign
ment before the Finance committee for
Thursday, February 8.
The Judiciary committee have decided to
report favorably on the bill allowing admin
istrators and trustees of estates to sell any
liquors which may be found in the estate to
any licensed dealer without taking out q
license.
An important measure was introduced in
the House Thursday, by Representative
Sprague of Hartford, providing that all fire in
surance companies chartered and organized
under the laws of Connecticut shall be au-
thorized and empowered to make contracts
of insurance covering any loss or damage to
property by any of the natural elements in
Guiding loss and damage by lightning proyi-
ded the nature of the risk or hazard assumed
is clearly stated in the contract. Several
resolutions have been introduced during the
session extending this right to special COM
panies, but Mr.. Spragues measure gives the
power to all companies alike
A bill, interesting mainly from the radical
changes proposed in the method of collecting
taxes, was before the Judiciary committee
Thursday. Its special design is for the regu-
lation of tax collections at Waterbury. The
measure provides for the annual election of
So. 600 a year. 1t is required that the collec-
tor shall give a bond of $5O, 900, subject to
the approval of the Board of Selectmen and
the presidents of any two of the banks of
Waterbury, and the bond shall be secured by
property valued at twice the amount of the
bond. The collector thus fortified takes the
bills, giving his receipt therefor.
The Committee on Fisheries, Judge De-
Forest, of Bridgeport, House chairman, will
take up the bill relating to steam dredging
for oysters as soon as practicable. The bill
prohibits steam dredging, except by private
parties on their own grounds and has great
many friends among the oystermen along the
coast It is one of the important oyster bills
of the session, and long and interesting
hearing is expected.
On Thursday afternoon the legislative com
mittee on the State prison, of which Senator
Seymour is chairman, visited the State pris-
on. The cells in the prison hall, the kitchens
and workshops were all examined after
which the committee held a meeting in the
warden's Office for the purpose of listening to
the statements of prisoners who have petit
toned the General Assembly for release. The
only petitioner who appeared before the com.
mittee was Elijah Smith, who was committed
to prison July 8, 1879, for period of ten
years, under the charge of having attempted
to poison by putting arsenic in the coffee OF
son of P. S. Crofut, of this city.
