 The call of Water Witch hose compa- ny, New Milford, "H Ho to Roton Point, June 27," was responded to by 25 per sons from Kent, but unfortunately the day was stormy and disagreeable, and of course the excursion was not what it would have been with clear sky and sunshine. However those who went are wise enough not to say but what everything was lovely.
 The often quoted line "what is so rare as day in June?" might have been answered, "the 1st of July," for Sunday seemed day almost perfect The Congregational church was filled with people all expectant to see and hear Rev Vorce once more. He preach ed most excellent sermon, after which followed the Communion service. Four persons joined the church, and eight children were baptized. MT Vorce now takes final leave of Kent and moves to Essex. The feeling of regret among the people here is very deep.
 The funeral of Dr Granger took place at St Andrews church, Friday, June 29, and was attended by 8 large number of friends and acquaintances.I Rev 0 Sturges conducted the services. A quartette choir from New Milford sang the solemn chants and hymns, Pro- lessor Platt presided at the organ. The casket was literally covered with, srare and beautiful flowers; flowers also filled the font Dr Changers death occurred very suddenly at his home in New York, in which city he has been successful physician for many years, known not as 8 '. physician only, but possessing noble and generous qualities that won the re- spect and esteem of many friends. A
 short time since he with his wife, form 8 erly Miss Emily Judd, and well known
 here, purchased some property near St , Andrews church. Just one week be-
 fore his death he deeded the same to - the church. A generous gift and fully : appreciated by the recipients. F
