HOSPITAL SUNDAY.
The Annual Appeal to be Made Janu
 nary 10th and IIth.

1 The Annual Appeal to be Made Janu- uary 10th and 11th. 1 The New Haven hospital will make it's an nual appeal to the people of New Haven ] county on Saturday and Sunday, the 10th | and 11th Of January.
 The needs of most charities increase with their usefulness, and the New Haven hospi- tai is one of those whose work has grown at ! an exceptionally rapid rate. The number of patients treated in this institution last year was 70 per cent. greater than it was five years ago, the daily average for 1884 having been 115, and theanumber running even as high as 135 on one day in February With all this increase in numbers there has been an increase in the proportion of severe cases, and as our patients are, with exceptions, taken at unremunerative rates every increase in their number simply in creases the deficit which is to be made up at the end of the year out of the small income of the permanent fund and the gifts of Hospital Sunday.
 We have every reason to believe that the increase in the number of patients will con tinue, and that this winter in which so many people are thrown out of employment, will make additional demands upon our re- sources.
 Another cause of expense is the new sys- tenn of ventilation which the crowding of the hospital buildings has made necessary to in- troduce during the past year. The outlay for this improvement (about $3, ,500) has been in the main met by private contributions, but the working of the system will add to the current expenses, as it involves the running of two steam engines.
 A dollar will pay the entire expenses of one patient for one day at the hospital one day of good nursing and skillful treatment, one day of progress towards re- covery, or of suffering alleviated.
 We hope that those who give of their abundance will give liberally and that those who have but little will remember how much good even a little will do.

DIR. CARvER,s GREAT FEAT.
The Attemptt to Break Sixty Thousand Glass Balls fiji q Week=An Average


 The Attempt to Break Sixty Thousand Glass KsaIls iii q week=An Average of Seven Balls a Mtnute.
 Br. Carver, ,.the celebrated rife manipu- lator, will attempt in this city next week a feat which is probably the greatest of the kind ever attempted by any marksnaa in the
 world There are great many who aver l that the feat is beyond human endurance and l ability. The doctor says he can and will | shoot and hit sixty thousand glass balls in l six days. This will be an average of little 1 more than four hundred and sixteen balls 8 | day if he shoots twenty-fou hours day and l of nearly seven balls minute. Should he l shoot seventeen hours a day his average ! would be about ten balls a minute. The | Hartford Courant says that is entirely too big | a job. Many local marksmen, members of | the New Haven Gun club and others, think I the feat is impossible. The amount of phys l ical endurance that will be required is some- | thing extraordinary. Dr. Carver says it re- | quires forty-eight pounds of muscle power to | each discharge of the rife. At that rate he 1 would have to perform 4SO,00O foot-pounds l of work a day His rifles weigh about tsn pounds each. In order to accomplish his undertaking the doctor will | have to raise his rifle at least 10000 times l daily, making total of 100000 pounds or fifty tons which the marksman must lift daily for six days. In order that everybody who is interested in the affair may be practi- cally informed as to the physical endurance
 necessary for the work, Dr. Carver will offer
 to give anyone $5 in gold who will raise to the shoulder one of his guns as often as he does for five minutes. A special offer of S100 is made to newspaper men for the sshme performance Great interest is felt in the event among sporting men all over the coun- try.
 At the Whitney arrnory Friday Dr. Carver gave an exhibition of his skill, shooting at pieces of coal thrown in the air distance of fifteen or twenty yards from him. In thirty three minutes 630 shots were fired and over 800 pieces of stove coal had been pulverized by the leaden missiles.
 The exhibition opens Sunday night next at 12 o'clock at the Lincoln rink. A space of thirty feet will be reserved at the rear end of the rink. At one end will be large score board with tables for scorers and reporters. At the other will be private room for the doctor and judges. Dr. Carver has not yet decided as to the arrangement of his hours of sleepnp

J l Clark of East Haven, was made the happy | recipient of a Christmas remem brance in the 1 form of a beautiful silk crazy quilt, the gift | of her lady friends in Newington, her maiden 1 home. The present is especially appreciated as token of kindly feeling and continued l friendship. The richness and variety of colors, the harmonious arrangement of the

Unfairness was alleged, and also great dissatisfaction among the exhibitors. The judge, Dr. Walton of Boston, is consid- cred one of the best and fairest judges in the country. The officers and members of the society were all highly pleased with his decisions, and inquiry as to the alleged dissatisfaction among exhibitors shows that the grumbling is confined to one or two who expected to get first premiums and failed to do so These people always growl
