Court Notes.


 In the United States court room on Satur- day before Commissioner Johnson T. Platt was heard the case of Capt. Nathan A. Hull of Derby, who was charged with carrying passengers on his steam barge Charles R. Hoyt without having the requisite license so to do. District Attorney Lewis E. Stanton, of Hartford, appeared for the government and Attorney E. B. Gager, 6f Birmingham, for the defendant. There was no dispute about the fact that Captain Hull after hav- ing his craft thoroughly overhauled invited the owners and some of his Knights TemPlar friends to take sail down the river from Derby and around to Burns Point near Mil ford. It was free excursion and the cap tain said that he supposed he was within the law when he took the party out.
 Local Inspector E. P. Beckwith, of New London, testified that there were but tour life preservers on the boat, when the law provides that every boat shall carry one life preserver for every person on board, includ- ing the crew. The supervisor would have had authority to issue a license if the boat had been provided with preservers for each person.
 In summing up the case District Attorney Stanton acknowledged that it was technical violation of the law, but it seemed evident that an example should be made to ensure the full observance of the law. He thought that the commissioner would take an unwar- ranted responsibility in discharging the &C., cused.
 MT. Gager acknowledged that it was a violation of the law technically, but the intent to violate the law was not there. A binding over of the accused would simply be derision of the law.
 Commissioner Platt said he would like a few days to consider the case and present it to the department at Washington. He was willing to present to the department a statement in regard to the mitigating cir cumstances of the case. The evidence was undisputed, and the commissioner could not see his way clear to discharge the pris- onsr.
 The case was, therefore, adjourned to January 15 at 10 o'clock.
 The Supreme court at Hartford on Satur- day reversed the decision of the Superior court in the case of the Connecticut Central railroad against the New York and New England and decides in favor of the Connec- ticut Central. The New England road leased the Central agreeing to pay the stock holders the net earnings, if there were any. It also owned all the first mortgage bonds. Under its management the Connecticut Gen. tral not only had no net earnings, but de- faulted it's interest on its bonds and then the New England proceeded to foreclose the mortgage The stockholders con- tested, claiming that the road had earned the interest, but that the

 When Elihu Yale founded that time hon. ored institution of learning, Yale College, he struck blow at ignorance that has rever- berated for more than two centuries through out the length and breadth of the land, and placed his name in the foremost rank of Americas public benefactors. But a greater scourge than ignorance is now running rampant in our midst. Do you know what ails you when you have dull headache no appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat ; specks pass before your eyes; low spirits; an irritable and peevish temper bowels con- stipated; an appearance of red or white brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and don't know what ails you?

FELLows-DEATH OF A VENERABLE AMI ESTEEMED CITIZEN.
 GU1LFoRD, Dec. 1S-Mrs. Hattie T. Hall is visiting her Washington, D. O., friends.
 At a special borough meeting held in Music Hall last Wednesday evening for the purpose of devising means for the best method of repairing Harbor street from the Green to the railroad track 8 committee consisting of E. c. Bishop, George L. Brad ley and Baverly Monroe was appointed to in- vestigate this matter, the cost of stone crusher and to report at an adjourned meet ing to be held Jan. 5, 1887.
 A dance for Christmas eve in Music Hall is among the attractions of that season.
 The Odd Fellows of Guilford have an nounced ball for New Years eve in At- woods silk mill. The Totoket orchestra will furnish the music, and Hadley will do the prompting.
 Most of the Guilford people who would have attended Stanley's and MT. Dickinsop's lectures and other entertainments in New Haven were prevented by last change in the running time of last train each evening from said city.

FURTHER REPORT.
Tho DixwelI avenue Church Build.
 ing Finds.

Tho Dfxwen avenue Church Build- ing Funds. Hard weather and indisposition of mind and body conspire to make my report this week rather small.
 Business men, too, seem to have their minds so thoroughly absorbed in closing up their accounts, etc., for the year that matters of benevolence with great difficulty reach their ears. Hence MT. Miller is often pleasantly and politely informed that it would suit bet ter for him to call next year after their stock of goods has been inventoried.
 Then again Christmas, with its sacred and social memories, is beginning to catch the popular ear and one is reminded of the truth fitness of this saying, "There is time for everything" Yet in the midst of all these dissipating and counteracting influences it is to be hoped that friends will remember our cause, which still appeals to Christian hearts and consecrated pocketbooks for help.
 "Come over and help us" friends in re- membrance of and for the sake of him who over 800 years ago came down from the realms of glory to help us, and to whom we owe all we are and all we may ever hope to be as Christian people and nationl . The late Dr. Leonard Bacon of blessed memory once said, "Whenever Congrega- tionalism in New Haven cannot take care of itself, it ought to go down." A church in Litch6eld county kindly sends an offer to help if the pastor only make them visit; also the church at Mt. Carmel, of which the Rev. Mir. Higgins is pastor. I shall visit Mount Carmel Sun day morning, D. V.
 The following is sef-explanatory:
 BOSTON. Dec. 16, 1886. Rev. A; P Miller pastor of DixweIl avenue church. New Haven:
 Dear Sir-Please accept from the tithe account enterprise; Lev xvii 20: And all the tithes of the land, whether of the seed of the land of the fruit of the tree is the Lords; it is holy unto the Lord.'
 The Lord bless this dear unknown friend to me as I lift my heart to- him for about three hundred such.
 If three hundred friends in New Haven or out of it could only see their way to do as this friend in Boston has done we could soon proceed to dedicate free from debt our now completed church, which will be ready for worship the first Sunday in the new year. Princil al T.W T. Curtis gave $5, making in all received this week $10; added to previous reports makes $1,065.50, leaving $l, ,434.5 50 to be collected.
