 The Congregational society will meet next week Thursday to vote on the ques- tion of extending call to Rev MT Hall of Meriden, Ct., to become their pastor. l The inquest in relation to the death of Thomas Ryan, Jr, who was found dead on the track of the Housatonlc railroad on Sunday morning Oct. 10, was continued by the district court Monday The first witness called was Charles D.. Thompson. He testified regarding drinking and dice playing all night till o'clock Sunday morning at the house of one Cronin, for penny a game. Ryan was there for about 45 minutes and then went away at 1.25 a. m. At o'clock they finished dice playing and started for the wake. At Broderick s t heard some one was killed. Witness staeehAe had talked with Cronin about Sherman, how Sherman was wanted for killing Ryan. Other witnesses testified, but none could give an account of where Ryan went after leaving Cronin's. The Sherman mentioned above is out of town and the gossips of the neighborhood have made an effort to connect him with the death of Ryan. For this reason the court during the testimony made an ef- fort to discover where Sherman was that night It also came out in the evidence that Sherman was jealous of his wife and one Decker: Charles Werden testi. fled that he heard Sherman say, eff he found Decker he would cut his insides out; Sherman had nine-inch knife which he carried in sheath. Sherman came in the house ct 6.30 o'clock in the morning, woke me up, he had his coat and straps in his hand, picked up some things and went away" Mrs Mary Dean atwhose house sherman boarded, being the same house where Werden re- sides, testified ssshe heard Sherman go out between and 4 o'clock. Witness thought Sherman was watching his wife because he is jealous of her, Sherman went away the Sunday Ryan was found dead" This closed the evidence except that of the medical examiner who will submit his testimony in writing The judge will hold his opinion open for few weeks.

A "Correspondent" writing to
the Sugar Bowl, from Paincourtville,
says that there is a genuine case of
leprosy in that vicinity "of a nature
so commonly found on the lower
Lafourche."
He states that 'leprosy ''is on the
increase and that the people have
relaxed from their former non int
course policy with the loathed pa
t~ients," and that nothing has ever
been done to investigate, sc.
The facts are, so far as the lower
Lafourche is concerned, a thorough
Investigation of the disease has
been made by DR.. Jones of the
Board of Health ; that the disease
is far from being common on lower
Latourclle !; that there are fewer
cases now than there were fifteen
years age, and that non intercourse
is maintained with the afflicted, by
persons whose families are tiuctur
Ell with that terrible disease.
