So comfort is gained by some people even from the ice laden trees.

The church on Westford Hill has at the suggestion of christian woman adopt ed the plan of having every person who at tends it's prayer meeting learn beforehand verse with some leading word, 5 faith, love, joy, peace, mercy, etc, in i,, to re- peat in the meeting. Nearly all, children included, who are called upon, i1rst learn and repeat verse, and older ones are at liberty to make whatever remarks the word itself or the particular passage they repeat may suggest. Almost every child comes prepared with passage and usual ly stands up to repeat it. The one who leads may if he chooses close up the sub ject with remarks. Result :-Difidence shaken off, and never dull meeting. Sub ject for the next meeting, as for the last, the names of Christ. Try the plan.

 Our drifts in Westford approach the colossal in size, and put us to not little ty as most of them are. They are all 'swhite as snow, strange as it may appear. This eplthet is not quite so cunning as the for mer editor of Winsted Herald, Theodore Valls ''sky-blue sky" descriptive of the vanishing of the Mercury, in his humor- ous translation of Virgil.

UoNNror1oUr's srAyEs-Criticism hay-

CONNECTICUT'S SLAvEs.-Crltlclsm hay- ing been made of MT. Beecher's denial that "the northern states sold out their slaves to the south, in elucidation of the truth the following recorded 'sfacts" may be considered, so far as Connecticut is concerned :--
 There was never law in this state pro- hibiting the freeing of slaves; and the practice of freeing them had become so frequent, that in May, 1911, the legisla- ture enacted: ssThat all slaves set at lib erty by their owners, and all negro, mu- latto or Spanish Indians, who are servants to masters for time, in case they come to want after they be set at liberty, or the time of their said services be expired, shall be releived by such owners or masters re- spectively."
 From the year 17O9 to 173O, in the town of Derby, Conn.,, several slaves were made free and others sold, and after the revolu- tlon others were made free and were not sold to be sent out of the state. Derby was a seaport town, and all tradition and history therein says that only :'once in wh1ie'' was slave sold to go out of the state
 In the town of Torrington, Conn.,, sev- eral slaves were made free after the revo- lution and not sold, and their descendants are in that town still.
 In the town of New Milford, Conn, one of the largest slaveholding towns in the state from 1720 to 1900, 1nany slaves were made free by deeds, recorded on the town books, beginning as early as 1756 and con- unulng some years after the revolution.
 It is therefore literally true, as MT. Beecher' says, that the report that the northern states sold out their slaves to the southern lis cheap and rotten gush," according to the records and traditions of these towns, winch are prominent exam pies of the whole ate-Sanauel Orcsstt I7e NeaO York Tribune.

 A QUESTION OF ENDURANCE.-Lo R. l., is having an amusing legal fight. Richard Sweets grocery was recently at tached and placed in the hands of two keepers, until the goods could be sold at auction. Two men appeared and asked to look over the stock in order to bid on 1t. One of the two men s'stumped'' the two keepers to hold out a bag of shot at arms length for the drinks While the two keepers were struggling with the shot one of the strangers got possession of the door, key and the other, who was a deputy sheriff, served @ writ on behalf of Provi- dence creditor. Then the sheriff left the other stranger, Providence constable, in charge of the goods, and he and the two original keepers are trying to out-stay each other in holding the building. The con- stables meals are sent in from hotel, with tantalizing irregularity. and the other two men t'spell'' each other in going out for refreshments. The constable doesn't dare sleep nights for fear the keepers will carry him out, so he walks the floor and whistles. His last communication with the outside world was this note to the sheriff, pushed under the door, which merciful reporter delivered: If this is a long job send some one to take my place !; they have nailed the door at the bottom, and they claim that you will have to break in to get in.
 Much excitement has been created in Williams college by ''cane rushes" between the Freshmen and Sophomores. On Fri day night the Freshmen took the cane in- to the chapel, and in the presence of the faculty began displaying it. A general melee between the Sophomores and Fresh men ensued, which the faculty stopped after much trouble. Another rush yester- day was stopped by the faculty. The Sophomores Sunday morning posted about town nonsensical placards charging the Freshmen with great offences. This is the first serious .'cane rush" at Williams Col lege since seven students were suspended for the offence two years ago.
