The New Cedar EIiII Church.

To the EDITOR of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 As the subject of building 8 new church at
 Cedar Hill appears to occupy considerable space in the public prints, perhaps few
 words from me, partly an explanation,
 would not be out of place. Some of the
 ministers can bear witness to my sndeavor-
 ing to enlist them on this point before steps had been taken for building, but as no in
 ducements that could offer availed, I con
 cluded it best to make the offer that I did, and have no feelings of regret for what J have done, except the bad unchristian feeling which has thereby been developed.
 The Congregational club having been ap-
 pealed to and they having, after appointing a
 committee to inquire and report, voted, as
 have understood, unanimously to disapprove
 the project, considering it as unwise and un-
 called for, waste of money and tending to
 disturb the peace of Jerusalem by weakening
 and discoui aging other churches in the vicin- ity, etc.; now if this is it all unin- tentional, as had thought this a common field that might and ought to be cultivated, rather than to be left to go to waste. Now what the Congregational club really have te do in the case I fail to see, as the society at Cedar Hill is not claimed to be Congregational, but Union. had hoped and still hope that the churches and Christians will, after all, when the new building is finished, find way down in their hearts warm and brotherly feeling for this people and that the ministers of the different denominations will come over and preach in the new chapel winch they can | find it convenient to do so. But this whole thing makes one think of the familiar story of the woodman who in his wanderings unintentionally got quite too near den of bears who with their young cubs were en- toying sweet repose, who being thus without warning aroused, and the old bear flying at the intruder with mouth open in great rage, | help. He says, 70 Lord help me and 0
 Lord if you can't help me, don't help the haara D SENEX.

A DUEL WITH FISTS.

Do F1SASe
 Two Young Rivals Do Battle With
 Natures Weapons For The Favor of
 Young Woman.
 DOVER, N. H., May 1.-Two young men, Henry Glidden and Mike Broadbent, worked together as shoemakers in the shop of J. Mute N Co., In the stitching room of which firm also worked prepossessing young lady. It was noticeable that when occasion offered the two young men would at different times slip down and hold sweet converse with her. She liking both and wishing to have two strings to her bow encouraged both until yesterday the matter came to a climax Each party wished the other to give up his pretensions to the young lady's favor, but neither was willing, so like the knight errants of old they determined to settle the matter vi ct armis. Not wishing to slaughter each other, they did not order shoss' pistols and coffee for two, but contented themselves with the weapons with which nature had provided them About noon yesterday they accom- panied by few friends, started for a field on the banks of the Cocheco which would furnish them with water to wash off the gore that might be spilled. On divesting themselves of their superhuous clothing they proceeded to settle the difficulty according to the laws of the prize ring. It is said that both showed pluck and considerable punishment was given and taken. Now, unfortunately for them, the city marshal is determined to break up all such works and is looking for the contestants and their friends who are keeping shady Consequently the particulars of the contest the number of rounds fought, who received the most punishment or who is the lucky man who will bask in the smiles of the De hlah who caused all the trouble is at present unknown, but the matter will be ventilated in the police court, when full particulars will be given

 The Board of Selectmen held their regular meeting last evening in the Town Agents efice.

 President Tyler read communication from Jonathan Ingersoll, clerk of the Su- perior court, stating that a list of jurors must be handed in by June 1. Each mem Der of the Board agreed to hand in 8 list of names for jurors at the next meeting.
 Selectman Beecher said he was anxious to know the cost of crushing stone per cubic yard of road dressing. MT. Beecher said that he would really like to know little of what was going on. At present such infor- nation was impossible unless he went to the almshouse for it. After a lively airing of the subject the superintendent at the almshouse was instructed to furnish the information desired at the next meeting.
 The marriage certificates of Dr. Doherty which had been received at the last meeting but not reported were shown at last even ing's meeting

ORDINATION SERVICES

This Evening i'm Batten ChaPel-A
 New Mission Laborer Among the
 Chinese.
 The council called to examine MT. E. E. Aiken for missionary to China will meet this afternoon at o'clock in the Battell chapel If approved by the council ordination ser vices will be held at the same place at 7:30 o'clock. A sermon is expected from Rev. J. H. Twitchell, of Hartford, and an address by Rev. William Kincaid of New York, secre- tary of the American board for the New York district. Rev. B. W. Bacon, of Old Lyme, will extend the right hand of fellow ship and the charge will be given by Rev E. N. Vittum, of Guilford The public are in- Eited to both examination and ordination.
 The ordination of MT. Aiken calls to mind that Yale has already great interest in the Chinese empire. The older citizens of New Haven remember Macy, Atchison and Blod- gett, the last still at his work in Peking. These three were active in mission work in the city. Many who have become aequaint- ed with MT. Aiken both on college grounds and through the Gospel Union' meetings at Edglish Hall will feel the loss of person al friend, who has always striven to advance the interests of all around him. His many friends will take pleasure in attending the exercises of ordination for his work in China to be held this evening,

Steamboat Excursions.

The pleasing fact is settled that New Ha- ven is to have an excursion steamer this sum- mer that will be worthy of the name. A company of responsible gentlemen have chartered the fine excursion steamer Eliza Hancox of New York for the season to make daily excursions to Pawson Park and Pot Island, commencing June 1. Captain c. V. H. Post is at the head of the enterprise and was in the city yesterday making the final arrangements. The steamer is frst-class in every particular and is especially designed for an excursion boat. She is allowed to carry nine hundred persons and is said to be an excellent sea boat. She recently made the trip from New York to Charleston, sc, in sixty hours, which is about as quick time as is made by the ocean steamers. The head quarters of the agent of the company will be at Ryder's confectionery store on Chapel ctr

The Morning Star i'm a Gale,

BOSTON, May 19.-A letter received in this city from Captain Bray of the missionary steamer Morning Star gives a graphic ac- count of the terrible weather which the steamer encountered in the Atlantic. When two days out from this port terrible gale came up. close reefed topsail was the only sail that could be used and the steamer was run before the gale. Heavy seas contin- ually boarded her, filling the vessel with water and wetting everything on board The minent that all hands were set at work throwing the coal overheard. At one time the ship was put head to the wind, but she could not be kept there, tremendous seas washing fore and aft, and she was again got before the wind. After three days the gale subsided.

A scandal at Block Island

NEWPORT, R. l., May 19.-Henry King, a prominent resident of Jamestown, just across the bay, was arrested to-day and taken to Block Island to answer to serious charge preferred by Miss Eva A. Mitchell, mem Der of one of the first families of Block Isl and. Miss Mitchell went to Jamestown last spring to spend the season and made the acquaintance of King, which soon, on her part at least, ripened into love. The season passed delightfully."- with the young couple and might have been repeated this summer but for recent developments which resulted
 in the lover being compelled to come to the "seagirt isle' to-day in company with a de- putty sheriff. The unfortunate affair may result in totally breaking up families which have hitherto been most happy and united.
