 Edward Slattery will have to answer to a breach of the peace this morning in that he hit his wife over the head yesterday with a beer pail, cutting deep gash in her scalp.
 William Broderick was arrested last even- ing for neglecting his family.
 On Saturday night the Hamden authorities made descent on the establishment which recently passed from the hands of Mrs. Hatch to other parties. Half dozen 'soiled doves'' were caught on the premises and with the same number of young men found in their company were taken to the lookup. This is the first time the meshes of the law have been wound around the new management, and it may serve to check in a measure the business alleged to be carried on in the place. Church Notes.

 At Wesley chapel yesterday beautiful flow CTS in abundance graced the communion ta- ble and altar. Dr. Soodsell's morning text was with regard to Christ's teaching of the signs the times, on the parable of the fig tree, Matt. 24-32, ''Ye know that summer is nigh" The pastor very appropriately re- ferred to the present signs of summer s reign and to ''June's perfect days" He en- forced the lesson that unto eAch is work appointed and that each must improve his spiritual opportunities for doing and acting In the period of summer rest the Christian need not slacksn as to his souls interest or the interests of other souls.

William G. Smith, secretary, reported school of $50 scholars and the average attendance 269, and gave an encouraging account of the school. Mir.
