Obituary.
When q good man falls the memory
of his virtues ought not to perish with
him. By preserving the recollection
Of that we furnish to the living both q
motive and sample for imitation.
When to this consideration is added
the suggestion Of personal friendship
for the deceased, no other reason, or
motive may be offeredfor this memor-
ial Of affectionate regard to the men,
ory of the late Levi g. Clark. The
deceased was born in Red Lien Hun
dred, New Castle county, at the home-
stead Of his father, the late Levi
Clark, and where, although absent for
several years, he returned and engaged
in successful agriculture until the day
Of his death, on Tuesday, 10th instant,
after short illness, in the sixty fourth
year of his age, lamented by all who
knew him.
If there be any one particular grace
which more than all others engages
the good opinion ofmankind, 1t is that
OF affability, this distinguishing quail
ty of the true gentleman was peculiar
characteristic Of Mr.. Clark, and whilst
no man enjoyed with more sensibility
the pleasures of q social lif', yet lie
was not insensible to the claims Of an
over.ruling Providence, and ev'nced
his fifth in the Lord Jesus Christ, by
connecting himself in early life with
the Presbyterian Church, that Of bis
ancestors, near the village Of St.
Georges.
We would not desire . stronger pre-
para:ion for death than the remark Of
his beloved pastor, the Rev. Henry
Runner, tina. bis answering attendance
upon the means Of Grace bore evidence
that he was truly Christian man and
died IN the fall assurance Of blessed
Immortality His intermsnt took place

acting as pail bearers.
There Is another better world
Beyond this world of ours,
Whose crystal streams in beauty glide
Amid immortal flowers.
It's there / hope TO meet with all,
I've loved and lost below,
When pain aod anguish ne'er again
Shall cause my tears to fiow.

WAsHINGToN, August 25.-The physi-
cians have encouraged Mrs. Garfield in
the opinion that her husband would re
cover, and she has come to regard it al
most as an assured fact. Her cheerful
bearing in the sick-room, which would
have been impossible had she thought
her husband was to die, has been Of great
benefit to the patient. Mrs. Garfield is
to-day aware, for the first time, that the
doctors are abandoning hope. DR.. Boy

That he-dfd not think 1t possible for the

Passed Away.

Patrick H. Donnelly, who has been suffer- ing for several years with spinal meningitis, died at his home in Washington street short ly after eight o'clock Saturday evening. Through much suffering he was patient and hopeful, and through all the pain that visited him no murmur was heard from his lips Struggling against the fatal disease that was slowly but surely sapping the roots of life, he ever looked forward to the day when the sunshine of restored health would gather and beam upon him. But the dread messenger that had lowered so long about his couch at last gave his summons and the gentle spirit of the long suffering invalid went out to seek it's home in the realms of never ceasing rest The deceased was one of the first members of the Sarsfeld Guard, and his funeral, which takes place this afternoon, will be at tended by many members of the veteran as- sociation. Before the sickness that called him to the ranks of the silent majority he carried on the business of sail making on Long Wharf, in which he attained a prom inent position. He leaves mother, brother and sister to mourn him, and host of friends who will not soon forget his kindly manners and gentle disposition

The New Telephone Directory.

The new directory for the Connecticut Tel ephone company, just issued from the press of Futile, Warehouse & Taylor, is g model of neatness and convenience It contains the names, business and location of all sub- scribers to the different exchanges controlled by this company in the cities of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Meriden, New Britain, Derby, Birmingham, Ansonia and other smaller connected towns. In looking over the list we find the names of nearly every prominent business house and enterprising firm in the cities named, besides many resi- dences.
 The growth of the telephone business has already been commented upon in these col umns it is one of the wonders of the age that business scarce three years old can show an increase so remarkable. The tele- phone interests of this country now repre- sent over thirty millions of capital and en- ploy large number of persons in the differ ent branches of the service.
 A regularly organized national association has already been formed and the telephone business of the United States bids fair to rival in very short time the railroad, tele- graph and express companies in it's impor- tance and magnitude.
 New Haven has the honor of being the first city in the world to have telephone exchange, the system of connecting different circuits through central office having been inaugurated here, and the Connecticut Tele- phone company, which now controls the prin- cipal towns in the State, has not been lack ing in enterprise or energy in extending the system. New Haven is already connected with over twenty towns, and will soon ex- tend it's wires to Bridgeport. Waterbury and the entire Naugatuck valley. It will also at an early date have wires running east to Branford, Guilford and the different shore houses in that vicinity. It is hoped that this may be accomplished the coming summer.

A-Laree RthIaeCIaas.

A large Bible class is that of Prof. Cyrus Northrop, of Yale College, at the Congrega- tional church It was conducted for a long time by Prof. Northrop and then he relin
 quished it, his time being too greatly occu- pied to permit him to give it the attention he wished. Not long since he resumed the class to the great satisfaction of, we may say hund- reds, for the'sservice is open to all who may attend, whether members of the church or of other churches or if non-members, and every Sunday finds the professor and crowded lecture room before him, much interest being manifested in the service. As it is not gen. orally known what the method of procedure is we state that there are devotional exercises, following which the professor gives an expo sition of some portion of scripture, enriched by scholarly allusions and references thor ough Bible knowledge and the clear, lucid diction and cultivated taste which character ize the professor. The talk is easy, yet dig nifed, and lasts perhaps half an hour, per haps longer, but none get weary and all feel that the occasions yield rare satisfaction and that it is not often that so profitable and pleasant Sunday privilege is found.

 MISS FLORENCE FAIRcH1D.
 On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week the Florence Fairchild Costume Concerto ompany will appear at Pecks Grand Opera House Miss Fairchild will appear in gorgeous costume and sing songs of Spain, Italy and America. It is said of this distin- guished lady that during sojourn in Havana she sang in public frequently, creating furore by her rendition of dramatic Spanish songs in costume. Her wonderful beauty of face and figure and elegant costuming thoroughly won the hearts of the impulsive Spaniards. Being of 8 very active mind, and having shown much dramatic talept while preparing for the opera, she returned to New York and devoted two years to histrionic study under the best teachers, at the end of which time she engaged dramatic company to support her, and made a tour through New York State and Pennsylvania, appearing in Phila- delphia for several weeks. One curious fea- ture of this tour is the fact that it was made without the knowledge of any member of her family. After two years retirement from public life she has been induced to undertake a professional tour, in which she will be as- sisted by number of eminent artists.
