MOUNTAIN STREAM.

..Frorn the rim it trickles down,
Ofthe mountains granite crown,
Clear and cool;
Keen and eager though 1t go
Through your veins with lively now,
Vet il knoweth not TO reign
Through the chambers of the brain
With miSrule;
Where dark water-cresses grow
Won will trace its quiet flow,
With messy border yellow,
80 mild and soft and mellow,
In its pouring.
With no Shiny dregs 10 trouble
The brightness of its bubble.
ASit threads its silver way
From the granite shoulder grey
OF Ben Dorain.
Then down the slopiug side
Ii will slip with CLASSY slide,
Gently yelling.
Till il gather strength 10 leap
With a light and foamy sweep
To the corrIe broad and deep
Proudly swelling;
Then bends beneath the boulders
Meath the shadow of the shoulders
of the Ben,
Through a country rough and shaggy
So jaggy and 30 knaggy,
Full OF hummOcks and of lunches.
Full Of srumps and tufts and punches,
Full Of bushes and Of ruShes.
In the glen,
Through rich green sOlitudes,
And wildly hanging woods,
With blossom and with bell,
In rich redundant swell,
And the pride
Ofthe mountain daisy there,
And the forest everywhere
With the dress and with the air
OF a bride"

Palestine.

The results of the survey of Pales.
tine, etc., have begun to create quite a
stir among Biblical and other students.
The statement that at the time of the
Exodus the Red Sea and the Mediter-
ranean were continuous is startling. Ii
this turns out 10 be correct, warning
will be given to writers on the dIstribu.
ton of the human race, plants, etc. I,
when SO severe a blow is delivered to
the prevailing assumption of the prac-
tical immutability of the great land and
water masses since the appearance of
man upon the earth. Great changes
must have occurred, according to Pro
fessor Hall, well within historic times.

HUMANITY TO THE RESCUE.
Thousands of People Homeless and Terrible scenes of Des- titutEOn and Suffering. edi- ate Relief Denanded.-Aet
 at Once.

The destruction of life and property by the floods in the Ohio valley IS un- precedented in the history of this coun- try Hundreds of lives and many mil lions of dollars worth of property have been lost.
 February II the river at Cincinnati reached the height of Il feet and from all points on the river come heart rend- ing accounts of the great disaster. Relief committees have been established at many points in the Ohio valley and an appeal for nid is made to the whole country.
 Congress has appropriated $500, 900 to aid the sufferers and money, clothing and other supplies are being collected in New York, New Haven and all large cities Hartford has contributed over s, 900. Over $4O0 was raised in Wor- cester churches last Sunday.
 Knowing that the people of Litchfield and Berkshire counties always respond liberally to the appeals of suffering humanity and believing that many now stand ready to contribute to the relief of the sufferers by the flood, but are only awaiting an opportunity to hand or. send their contributions to some one who will see that the money reaches the organized relief committees, therefore the CoNNEc- TIcUT WESTERN NEWS offers it's services in receiving and forwarding money for the sufferers by the recent flood.
 A statement of all contributions re- ceived will be published in its columns. The donors name and amount will be given, so that all can rest assured that their contributions have been received. Drafts or certified checks will be for warded to the properly authorized and organized relief committee at whatever town in the Ohio valley at which the suffering is greatest and relief most needed. The relief committees acknowledge ment of the receipt of the funds will be published in the NEWS. The NEWS will | contribute literally to this relief fund, | but prefers to have some one head the | list who is able to contribute 10 times | what the NEWS can. Don't delay act | and forward your contribu- | tions addressed,

OBITUARY.

MT Seth B. St. John, one of the old- est and most respected citizens of Els worth, Conn, died at his residence, Sat urday, January 26, at the ripe age of 85 years.
 His has been an active and successful farmers life and an eventful one.
 He has been a subscriber to the Reg ister for very many years. A thorough democrat, representing his own town in 1859, in the state legislature, also filling other offices in town, he was rarely ab- sent from the polls.
 He was the prime mover in the estab- lishment of Methodist society and the building of church. His efforts of late years have been directed to the estab- lishment of fund for the aid of said society and in this, as in nearly every thing else he has undertaken, he has been successful. This is the more re- markable since he never made public profession ofreligion until the year 1865, when, under the preaching of Rev Spen- cer Bray, he came thoroughly awaken ed, united with the church and has ever since remained firm and steadfast in the faith and gospel of Christ.
 He was one of five to organize burying ground association, which has proved to be lasting honor to it's originators and an everlasting blessing to the communi- ty!
 | He might well be called self-made man, 0 good counsellor, 0 kind father and faithful friend.
 His later years have been years of suf- fering, yet his indomitable will raised him up.
 He was great reader, having an un- commonly retentive memory, which he kept to the last.
 He will not be forgotten, although his work is done-NeU Hauen ReoisteT.
 Mrs Marilla St. John of Ellsworth, Conn.,, widow of the late Seth B. St. John, died February 8, aged TT years, of typhoid pneumonia, after an illness of less than a week and less than two weeks from the death of her husband.
 Beriah B. St. John, son of the late Seth B. St. John, passed away Feb. IT. after brief illness, at the age of 53 years
 Soon after his fathers death, he re marked that his life work was done, but those to whom the remark was address ed, attributed it to his extreme loneli ness, as he had ever lived with his father and little thought he was 80 soon tc join the loved one gone before.
 He entertained no hope of recovery during his illness, and we cannot mourn for one who so fearlessly went forth tc receive the reward of the faithful, bu we shall miss and mourn for him whC awaits us in that " city which hatl foundations, whose builder and makel is God"
