STATE CORRESPONDENCE.
SOuthfm0tOm.

The Southington Cutlery company employ one hundred or more men in their knife de- partment. Thirty or forty of the men are grinders and fnishers and the grinders have been short of work for the past five or six months and it is said agreed to share the work. One of the men, Louis Steiz, was kept in employment while some of the others were allowed to remain in idleness. The men claimed that this was owing to the fact that Steitz worked at lower wages. Four weeks ago the grinders and finishers demanded Steitz's discharge and the company refused to comply, but have now compromised and will not permit Steitz to work for the next thirty days. The men resumed work Thursday morning, but had worked only few hours when they demand ed and were given an advance of wages.
 The Atwater Manufacturing company will operate their factory six days instead of four per week hereafter.
 Hon. H. D. Smith has returned from Geor- gia.

 THE sToDDARD LECTURES.
 The first of the Stoddard lectures this sea- son was given at Carll's Opera House last evening. The subject was "Napoleon Bona parte from Corsica to the Throne" Not withstanding the continued severe cold weather, the large opera house was filled to overfowing. The entertainment was bril- liant one and afforded great satisfaction to the large assembly. Many of the views were very beautiful and the audience was, ,as usual highly interested and entertained by Mir, Stoddard, whose descriptive and historical setting for the views and illustrations is al- ways so thoroughly appreciated by his audi ences. The opera house was too cold for the complete enjoyment of the treat afforded, and the ladies in particular shivered an ac- compartment to the running remarks of the speaker, who himself had to wrap his coat about him. It was not difficult thing for the audience, when viewing the snow-clad Alps and the crossing of the St. Bernard, to fancy that the ice scenes before them had imparted their icy tone to the atmosphere. But the lecture was listened to throughout with the most complete attention, and an other large audience will greet the next lec- ture, "Bonaparte from the Throne to St. Helena" Some assurance of more com- fortable house would be very gratifying.

WINTER IN FLORIDA.

The Beautiful Land of Oranges and
 Flowers - The Oldest Inhabitants
 Surprised By the Prevalence of Ice
 and the Perststency of the Cold
 Weather.
 MT Edwin T. Hyde, formerly of West Ha- ven, writes from St. Augustine, Florida, De- cember 10, as follows:
 "Allow me through your columns to give an idea of winter in Florida For the last three days it has blown gale from the west and has been freezing night and day. Ice can be seen in the streets all day. Last night the mercury showed 150 above Ice two inches thick was made last night, and it is still freezing weather. The writer knows whereof he speaks, having skated on the small ponds in the streets. MT. Fred Opdyke is also one who has been skating here. The sprays from several fountains froze in long large icicles; they made beautiful sight The icioles were from to IS inches long and from one to three inches in thickness. The roads are all frozen and as the teams pass over them one would think this was cold coun- try. This noon it is still freezing Orange trees are badly damaged. Churches had to suspend services to-day. In fact, one would think this was northern State instead of the balmy land eff flowers. This kind of weather susprises not only us northerners, but the oldest inhabitants"

Colonel Clarke of Chicago Tells His History to About Two Hundred People at English Hall Last Even. ing.
 About two hundred people were present at English Hall last evening to hear the rather romantic history of the life of Colonel Clarke, of Chicago, as told by himself. Col onel Clarke said that he was the son of physician, and in early life lived in Wiscon- sin. Until he was eighteen years of age he did not begin his education. He after that graduated from the Wisconsin university and then began the study of law. He short ly afterwards removed to Chicago, where he opened law and real estate office, having for partner Rev. MT. Thompson, of Brook lyn. While in the law business he married his first wife and became very wealthy, but not long afterwards an unfortunate invest nent caused him to lose all his money and become poor man. He then went West with man named Gus Wagner and went in the mining business, and it was while there that he took to gambling and drinking and forgot all about God and the prayers his mother taught him. The two, however, worked early and late and became rich, but he awoke one morning to find that his partner had left during the night, taking all the money the two had earned with him, leaving the colonel once more a poor man.
 It was then he remembered God, and started to teaching the sinners about him, all the time working hard to once more get some money, which he did and soon became a wealthy man again. He then moved to Chicago, and went into the law business again, and kept making money until the great fire, when all his wealth was swept away, leaving him again penniless and $64, 900 in debt. He then began these gos- pei meetings in a small house in Chicago and struggled along for awhile in poverty and want, but he did not become discouraged as he believed that God would help him in his work. The colonel after time made for tunate investment in Leadville mine which cleared him $104 ,000, with which he paid his debt of $64, ,000 and devoted the rest to his mission work, which continued to grow un- til it Is what it is at the present day. The colonel then stated that fourteen meetings week were held and during the past year 105 GOO had attended these meetings.

This market is a great convenience to up town people, who now find that there is no necessity of going down town to make purchases
