 Would it not be well for our people to avail themselves of the course of lectures given at the Storrs' agricultural school, Mansfield?
 We have received several calendars, but the best for our use is the Spencerian calendar, from Iveson, Blakman, Taylor X Co., 753-755 Broadway It is pretty or nament to room, and the dates are given so plainly they can be seen long distance. The school calendar sent out by this firm is the best we have ever seen.
 Social at the Methodist vestry this evening.

 Mss LIZZIE BEACH. ONE OF THE LOST
 
 FER, CITY OF CoLUMBUs.-A correspondent of the Hartford Courant writes The ter rible shipwreck near Martha's Vineyard comes home with particular significance to the people of Mansfield, and especially to the pastor of North Parish, Rev. N. Beach and family and indeed it casts gloom over the whole community. MT. Beach's daughter Lizzie, a woman of unusual in- tellectual power, and before her health failed, a very great worker, twas among the passengers of the ill-fated steamer. A number of years ago, Miss Beach's fine intellectual attainments, her lovely charac- ter and personal fitness attracted the at tention of those who were interested in the Mccall mission at Paris, France, and they induced her to go there and engage in that work Here, as predicted, she showed re- markable powers and met with very great success; but the work proved too severe for her physical strength ,and health failed. Several years ago she returned to America hoping to regain her health, and has since been under the doctors care in various places. The Rev. Dr. Chamberlain, for merly of Norwich, now of Brooklyn, N. Y., has assumed the personal care of the invalid and l learn has defrayed her ex- psnses largely, because it was, in part at o+ 1> .4o4. T. z1> l. Paris. Last Thursday he went to Boston to see his charge safely on board the steam CT as she sailed for the south, whither the invalid was going to regain her health in the more genial climate of St. Augustine, Fla. Dr. Chamberlain returned to Brook lyn, but to be informed by the telegraph that his ward, together with nearly all that happy company which he had seen sail out of Boston harbor on Thursday, had found a watery grave. He returned and found she had been picked up by some of the vessels searching for the dead, ; and brought in to New Bedford. She was identified by her name upon her clothing. He took her to Boston where he obtained the proper burial casket and then brought her to Will limantic, where he met the heart broken father Monday night. After short con- sultation it was deemed best not to bring the remains out to Mansfield, but to leave them in Willimantio, deposited in the Bap- tist church till Wednesday the 23d, when they will be taken to Woodstock, Conn. for interment beside her mother The community sympathize deeply with the aged father and friends, and yet there is one consolation left. No matter how fear full that short moment of peril, yet she who wrought so faithfully and we'll, the poor, weary body which has suffered so much in all these years of disease, has at last found sweet eternal rest.
