LIFE AND ADVENT UNION.

The Hartford Courant of yesterday says: Nearly fifty tents have been erected on the beautiful grounds of the Life and Advent Union at Tylerville, near Goodspeed's sta tion.

Tuesday will be devoted to the temperance reform, and on that day the chief speakers will be the pastors of Metho- dist and Baptist churches in Meriden and George P. Rogers of New London.
