Ladies' White Underwear.

During this week we shall open three con- siderable lots of new White Muslin Under wear for ladies. Two of these lots are from the same factories that supplied us last sea- son, and the goods are as well made as they were before, and are lower in price, because of the less cost of material, both the muslin and the embroideries being cheaper than in 1883. Along with these we shall offer job lot of garments, some of them little soiled, some with imperfections in the sewing, or other small defects. Now it is needless for us to say that we would not buy lot of goods like that, unless we got them very, very cheap indesd. It would not pay us to do even the necessary talking about such lot, unless the prices would speak for them selves, and that plainly. The prices on this lot do so Step in and see them, any time after Wednesday morning of this week.

 Before giving the history of the present structures on the Green, we shall here speak of one which happily from it's constructive ueliness had but short life. We refer to the old Methodist meeting house. The Methodists organized their first society in New Haven in 1795, built In 1907 or there Abeuts their first church on the site of the now African church on Temple street, and in 1921 began the building of a rev church on the Green, on the line of ths North church, opposite Battell chapel. It was plain, barn shaped, brick structure 80 by 66 feet. Ths entrance was on College street, nearly on level with the walk. The grade was then different from now, the ground sloping 0ONa ohASSS S@N@ HNA hitting an up-ground basement, which was used for . term of years as room for the Lancasterian school. The entrance was by two doors on the easterly end It was, while building blown down by the terrible gale of September 3d, 1S21 the night of the very day it had bsen roofsd.' It was rebuilt and dedicated May 25i, 1922. An old citizen of tke clerical profession, now retired from duty, gives us this incident connected with the history of the building. When, says he, the corner stone was laid the Rev. Heman Bangs expressed the hope in his prayer that if any false doctrines should be preached in shat edifcs the Lord would send his winds from the four quarters of the earth and level it with the ground. The morning after the great gale, being at the time student in the college, I went down to survey the ruins, and there on top of the pile of bricks lay slab with scriptursl quotation uppermost- This had been placed over the main entrance and the words cut upon the slab were:

This was the most severe storm known in the century The water wes taken 1p bod fly and carried through the air twelve and fourteen miles north as far as Wall1ngford. And the next morning ths salt spray was found encrusted on the window panes ID that village, giving them the appearance Of

 This was the night of the annual Septena- says Mir. Charles Thompson, "for I had
 been on military duty that day. The wind blew SO hard that it was nearly impossible for a man to stand up against it. The next day I rode to Guilford and found that not only the leaves on the south side of the treeg in New Haven had been blasted by the salt spray, but also those on my way over there."
 The construction of this tiice gava the Methodists new impetus and they became a powerful religious body. The house un- der the ministration of revival preachers was nightly crowded, and their meetings were signalized by great noise and shout ings.

But from this very class of scoffers nnmer- ous converts were made. The faith of these early Methodists was intense and they greatly enjoyed themselves. It was pleasant to be witness of meeting of those happy people, to note their hearty greetings between themselves, listen to their fervent prayers and appeals and their quaint, joyous music. Their foremost leader here in our boy days was Elias Gilbert, a prosperous tanner on George street, who carried on his business within a stone's throw of the spot where stood the oak under whose spreading branches Ar. Davenport, on Sunday, April 15, 163S, preached the first sermon delivered in New Haven. He was B large, stalwart, genial gentleman, whose religious joy was at times almost irrepres- sible.
