Thirteen New Members Added.

The sacrament of the Lords supper was celebrated in the morning after the sermon, at Dwight Place church. Thir- teen new members were admitted to the church, twelve being by letter from other churches. The mornings sermon discussed Christianity adopted as measure of expedi- ency, as an unavoidable duty, and as the ex- pression of love for it's founder and it's principles. The Christian who is such be- cause it pays lacks the spirit of Christianity So also he who is influenced only by sense of duty. Love for Christ and desire to be like him should be the leading motive, and then the others may be admitted as sub sidiary.
 The evening exercises consisted of a vesper service, responsive readings, interspersed with congregational and choir singing, and an address by the pastor filled the hour.

A Noisy Time at a Wake-A Race to
 AlIingtown-The Police Wagon.
 Saturday evening a wake took place at the house of Wm. Brown on Congress avenue and among those present were John Fee and Charles Clerkin, two men we'll known to the police. Early yesterday morning those pres ent got pretty drunk and then Fee and Cler- kin looked about them for chance to get up 8 fight, which they did with some of those present and were quickly put out of the house. The two rcughs did not like being put out and so began throwing stones through the windows of MT. Browns house. Johnnie Jones and ''Soldier" Brady thought they would stop this and set out after Fee and Clerkin, who made tracks for Alling- town. Brady and Jones caught the two fu- gitives in Allingtown and held them until the police wagon arrived with Officers G. o. Bradley, Melia and Tripp, when Fee and Ger kin were taken to police headquarters where they were locked up charged with drunken ness, breach of the peace and breaking win dows.
 Officers Tighe and B. Jackson yesterday arrested Patrick Kenney on warrant charg- ing him with breach of the peace against Eliza Mooney.
 Two men employed at the New Haven wire mill were arrested for firing pistols on East Rock Park.

Fall Horse Season.

Those who have made the matter a
study assert that our method of
breeding horses is all wrong. Our
colts come in the spring, suck
through the summer and are then
changed from a milk diet to a diet of
dry, hard feed, just as cold weather
is coming on, and the result Is a very
damaging stunt in the colts growth.
In Canada, which is so highly Gel
ebrated for the excellence of its
horses, this method is reversed, with
the happiest results. There the
breeding is done in the fall, the colts
are foaled about Sept. 1st, suck
through the winter, and at weaving
time have plenty of tender, green,
juicy food to eat.-Ralls County
Guide.
