 The Winsted Herald has most wonderful story from Litchfeld contributor, about a girl of sixteen whose eyes were so affected by exposure to the glare of the sun, one day last winter, that she was threatened with blindness, and was confined to a dark room for six months, Then the miracle comes in. A portion of each eye ran out. What was left of her right eye became sort of tele- scope; the rest of her left eye, a microscope each of very high magnifying power. Used together, the microscope power of the one and the telescope power of the other combine to produce the effect of two natural eyes. Shut ting her left eye she can see from the village to the lake, and can tell three miles away whether boy in boat pulls up bull.head or pumpkin.seed. Shutting her right eye, needles seem like crowbars gnats, like cam els. Opening both, things assume their nat ural aspect. Some inquiry has been made for the girl referred to, but nobody has yet found her. The only person approaching the des- cription is well known newspaper cores. pondent who has eyes exactly like those of the Herald phenomenon. He uses his tele- scopic eye to discover items then he writes them up as they appear under his microscopic eye. This person, however, is not cross-eyed, neither is he "of a very timid or retiring dis position" He was convert of Mrs. Mix, and it is believed that his miraculous eye sight comes through her intercession.- qUSrer.
 The following sketch published in the Sun, seems to fit Newtown pretty well: Brother Glover was pretty big man in certain old Connecticut village. He would swear little sometimes, but when he subscribed $500 toward rebuilding and re-fitting the old church, that special act of charity covered a multitude of sins. Brother Glover had big voice. There was no time, tone or tune in it, but he beloved as he pleased in church sing ing. When the new church was finished it had to be dedicated, and choir was carefully trained to do the singing. Brother Glover was not of the choir, and the intention was to rule him out of the vocal exercises, The choir had carefully rehearsed new dedica. tory hymn, and everything was ready for the interesting ceremonies. The church was crowded, and Brother Glover was in his place in front pew, as large as life. The new piece was struck up and Brother Glover's voice rose loud above the organ. There was pause. The organ and the cholr were mute, and the latter mad. The minister, looking at fly on the ceiling, explained that it was new piece, which the choir alone had practised, and requested the congregation not to join in the singing. The piece was re-commenced and again Brother Glover's big voice broke it up. The preacher then fixed his eyes on Brother Glover and request ed him to keep silence during the perform ance of the new piece, which he did not un. derstand, and Brother Glover, looking at his beloved pastor with his big, round eyes, re- piled in big voice: "Look.a.here, MT. Bur hans, paid $500 toward repairing this damned old gospel-box, and by thunder will sing" The preacher gave it up and SC did the choir.
