 Many friends will sympathize with the af- fcted parent in tho death of an interesting
 little child of Il months, only son of Mrs ! Marietta P. Bartram, widow of the late Orrin s. Bartram, whose death occurred one year ago next Wednesday. The fathers death occurred about two weeks before it's ! birth The little one died at Bethel, Conn.,
 September 18th, at the house of it's grand father, MT. Orrin J. Bartram, whither for
 the second time it had been taken in the hope of it's recovery. On the first visit of several l weeks the child gained much that the happy mother returned with it to l this city, but it had relapse, and second journey was made, but in vain, brain fever
 supervening, and all that a loving mother
 and other kind friends could do being in
 vain. The funeral takes place this afternoon l at o'clock from the residence of the mother 21 Haven street. Rev. MT. Buck of the First 1 M. E. church officiating.
 l Rev. Mir. Hammond, pastor of the Eas ! Pearl street NJ. E. church, preached an able ! discourse yesterday morning to his people l The Sunday school of the church is large an6
 fourishing. The choir gives good satisfac ! tion.

 in preparing statistics for report to bt ! made to the next General Assembly of ths children in this and other towns who are sup ported in whole or in part by public charity
 found recently six-years old child dying ! from starvation in oyster shed tht
 east side of the Quinnipiac river, and people living within forty rods of the shed, as fa as could be ascertained, knew nothing of thu matter. Saturday MT. Fabrique, with an as sistant, was making list of poor childre, from the books in the Town Agents office. The North Quinnipiac street improvement continue to be a source of considerable dis satisfaction and vexed question. Probabl. after few months the question will assum definite shape, and then the question wi
 pass out of sight.
