Cedar HiII NIission.

An exceedingly interesting meeting was held last Sunday evening at the Cedar Hill mission. A praise service proceeded the ad- dress which, including the song by the little children, created much pleasure. The op- portunity for neighbors and friends to as semble on Sabbath evenings and unite in singing sacred songs is not only beneficial to the families of children who gather, but very enjoyable to the listeners present. The Misses Dyer (daughters of c. B. Dyer), who have won. such reputation for sweet harmonies in their singing, were present and delighted the audience, especially in the rendering of the song or solo, "The Solemn Sacred Thought D John G. North made very practical address from the text ''What, ? which he said was al

 Rev. Theodore T. Munger, of North Ad- ans, Mass, has been invited to become the pastor of the Second, Congregational church at New London, and it is believed that he will accept the call. He is one of the leaders in the new Congregational departure, and the British Quarterly Review, discussing his book of sermons, The Freedom of Faith, says: ''They have the large sympathies of Beecher, the exegetical tactof Robertson, the literary finish of Vaughn and the daring of Maurice" The Quarterly Review also says of these ser mons that they deserve to rank with the mo- blest productions of modern times.
 The Rev. Simon Backus, who died at Hope Valley, R. l., last week, was employed at an early age in shop in New London and sub sequently became contractor in the same shop and made money. In 1927 he was con verted, joined the Baptists, and in the same year was married to Miss Angeline Heath of Mystic. He began preaching occasionally in 1881, and until 1843 continued in business. At that time he was called to the Baptist church at Noank and in 1845 to that at Mys- tic River. In 1949 he was settled at Hope Valley, where he remained five years and then went to Mantle, R. l., and preached there until 1857 Subsequently he was set tied at Hopkintown, R. L, Richmond, R. l., Baltic, New London, Stonington, Pawtucket, R. T., Charlestown and Mantle in the same State, North Stonington, and for his last pastorate at the Six Principle Baptist church in Wood River, R. I.

A SAD ENDING.
The Suicide of MT. R. s. StOrrs of tht
 Deaf and Dumb Asylum.

The Suicide of MT. R. s. StOrrs of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. The suicide of R. s. Storrs of the Ameri- can asylum for the deaf and dumb, Hart ford, was probably caused by insanity from overwo1k and sleeplessness. Such an act from a man of his stamp and mould was a great surprise to those who knew him. It was done at his home at Longmeadow The immediate cause of his insanity is supposed to be that his labor in preparing the Long meadow book which grew out of the towns centennial celebration of last fall aggravated the chronic insomnia which had troubled him through the larger portion of his pro fessional life During these later months it had grown acute. A morbid depression overcame him, and signs of mental aberra- tion appeared in a gradual withdrawal of in terest in common affairs, in an abnormal concentration of interest and conversation upon himself and his plans for personal relief from his malady, in a growing vacil lation of purpose and an indefinite dread of some impending catastrophe which to his dismay sometimes took the momen- tary form of suicidal mania. This latter danger, however, appeared to be so vague
 
 by himself in it's true light that no serious apprehensions disturbed his friends up to the noon of Saturday, when he took his life by pistol shot fired through the heart as he lay upon his bed in his Longmeadow home. He gave no sign and left no writing, and died after lingering in comatose condition two hours without @ motion. That morning he was engaged in laying out his clothes and packing his trunks for a prolonged stay at Clifton Springs He had already been there, and with the changing of purpose which characterized his disease had returned home, but had become convinced of his mistake and was about to start again with apparent reli ance on the best advice.
 MT. Storrs was born at Amherst, Mass, and was ffty-three years old. He graduated at Amherst in 1853. Soon after his graduation MT. Storrs became a teacher in the American asylum where he remained with little Interruption up to the time of his death. For some three years he was profes- sor of mental philosophy and English at the National Deaf Mute college at Washington, where he was called in the early days of that institution, which owed it's existence to MT. Edward Gallaudet and much of it's success to the three Hartford men who were first occu- pied in it's work MT. Gallaudet himself, MT. Storrs and MT. Samuel Porter. On his return to Hartford MT. Storrs took up his work and carried it on in the same intelligent, carefully intellectual way that had always been characteristic. He leaves one sister, Miss Sarah W. Storrs, who taught for num- Der of years in the American asylum, but has recently lived at the family home in Long meadow.

 VentIsts' Meeting.
 The camp meeting of the Second Advent ists at TylervilIe came to an end Sunday with exercises of field day nature. The attend ance was very large and the hoodlum els- ment predominated. Excursion trains ran from Hartford and Saybrook with crowded ears. The devotional exercises on the camp ground passed off all right, but what many of the visitors found happiness in was the merry -go-round of tamusement'' not down on the programme. Liquor flowed from invisible sources, and by the middle of the afternoon drunken people could be counted by the score. To enliven matters colored man got into fight with 8 white woman who was said to be his wife. She dove into the air several times, yelling like Comanche Indian and kicking her feet together and declaring she was Irish and giving formal notice that she had her Irish up. She pummeled the policeman with her parasol, and to get rid of her the mob ran her down the bank towards the river She got into Q boat and spent the remainder ot the afternoon in cooling off. The train that started for Hartford at 5 o'clock had precious freight of Higganum and Middletown rowdies on board They were strong in their adjectives and profuse in their oaths. As soon as the trains started drunken Swede and a less in toxicated Irish1nan got into fight in the for ward end of the car next the locomotive They pounded each other ad ibitum until the conductor and one of the train men inter fered, and they subsided only to renew their attentions to each other on getting out at Higganum. As soon as the train stopped they got to work in earnest The Irishman's science was of the Sullivanic order, and the last seen of the Swede the Celt had knocked him down and was jumping on his face and chest. These little quarrels were not caused by the camp meeting, but by the liquor that was sold in dozens of places outside the grounds. ds.-Hartford CQurant
