"How is the average strike brought about A meeting is held. Grievances are discussed. Some loud-mouthed dema- gogue gets up and works up the feelings of the crowd to a Eitch of frenzy by most infiammable speech. He draws dramatic picture of the wrongs of the workingmen, and generally closes by promising to shed his last drop of blood and to starve before he will submit longer to such tyranny. Then a motion is put to go on a strike, which is carried with a shout. What becomes of our loud mouthed friend after this ? Does he come forward and offer to serve on committees and fulfil his vehement protestations to shed his blood for the causeP No The moment the resolution to go on strike is carried he takes back seat and keeps out of sight If called on to serve on the com .mittees,-h Is not to be found, and If he is, makes some excuse. A few days or weeks later you find him among the first to go back to work He becomes a curb stone orator and says Well, never was in favor of strikes It Is true of every strike of which have knowledge, that the first men to go out are the first to go back, and the men who opposed the strike are the last to go back. The men who incite crowd to go on a strike should be made to serve on the committees and bear the burden of the fight In the next place no man should go Oh strike who has not enough lad by to keep himself and family for a year. The stoutest hearts cannot hold out when they see their wives and little ones starving. They must go back to work"

government, improvements have come which have involved q grumble at expense, but which no one would be willing to see wiped out for a restoration of the cost to the pockets of the tax payers s
 Much is expected now from the new 'ehc terprise mapped out with the organization of the Stafford Springs aqueduct. The plan involves taking water from a copious, spring-fed stream, bringing 1t through iron pipes to the village, where it will stand with head of 2S5 feet on the lower levels, and with force sufficient to give fire protection as discharged from hydrants to any part of the village. This will not only give the convenience of pure running water for domestic purposes, but from the force of discharge will be invaluable as furnish- ing a cheap and reliable power for small manufactures. The active man in push ing this new enterprise has been R. s. Hicks, whose name is go associated with ''push" and good management that the people have come to look for success as Q, matter of course to any scheme in which he becomes interested. It is needless here to particularize the many local enterprises E which stand or rather move successfully on in evidence of this.
 Rev. E. M. Taylor is expected to re- main with the Methodist church here for another year, at least such being the deBlre of the people, and he assentng, though understood to be in demand elsewhere. He is no doubt the ablest sermonizer the church ever had, and withal of that genial makeup that a community prizes in Q mihs' ister as well as in any other citizen. The village is at the present time particularly fortunate in its resident clergy, as regards pulpit talent, and good citizenship. 70
 The Catholic parish is face to face with necessity for larger church accommoda- tions.. The present edifiee is of stone, small, and poorly planned for enlargement, so that it is problem to know how to do it. For years it has been necessary to hold repeated services in order to accom- modate all the devotees. The French Catholics have been agitating for sepa- rate church and priest. They are strong in numbers, but transitory in their habits, coming and going, generally making too brief stay to permit of the growth of local interest in a church edihce. Rev. Father Coyle, who is considering the mat ter of the church enlargement, has long been located here as m assistant, but for some months past has been priest in charge. He is an energetic young man, who has won the love of his people by an unselfish and charitable nature, and the respect and confidence of all citizens by his general courtesy of demeanor and sub stantial traits of character.
 Decoration day will be observed with even more than usual impressiveness. The town has appropriated $100, and other con tributions will be made. Captain Horne of Winsted, in whose regiment many Staf- ford men served, will be the orator of the day.

CONTRIBUTED NOTES FROM COVENTRY.
 In very retired spot, on the Norwich and Hartford turnpike, picturesquely situ- ated on gentle slope, stands a low red house, 32x25. Nothing remarkable about this fact, the reader doubtless thinks, yet associations, sacred to memory, cluster about this humble home, for it was the birthplace of 8 most eminent divine of early days-Rev. Harlan Page, whose ex- emplary piety and deep devotion to ear nest gospel work has rendered his name 0 household word in thousands of christian families.
 There are but few visible marks to re- mind one of his early days. The noble oak near the house was planted by his hands. The room where the saintly mother eked out 8 living by weaving car pets, still stands, but nearly all the land marks are gone excepting the house. The present owner, M. w. Stone, maintaining a veneration for Coventry's early divine, has manufactured several articles of use and ornament from an apple tree planted by the hands of the youthful Page.
 A strong contrast to this illustrious preacher was exhibited Tn the life of Rev. Lorenzo Dow, also native of Coventry who, although doubtless as earnest in his way, was characterized by eccentricities that rendered him far-famed.
 When a mere boy he had great desire to see Methodist. He looked in at the door of the room where one was preaching and declared he was .just like other men. But he heard A powerful sermon, during which the minister, by way of emphasis pointed his finger at Dow, aud said, "Sin ner, there is drowning Providence above your head, and @ burning hell beneath your feet" etc., which so frightened Dow that he was afraid he should tumble into the yawning gulf. At one time he elicited promise from several young persons that they would pray. One young lady broke her promise, whereupon Dow fol lowed her to neighbor's house, sat il the doorway, refusing to let her out unti she promised to serve God or the devil fol two weeks. At another time he entered ( church where he had an appointment took his place in front of the pulpit, anc threw down his hat Some one kindly told him he had. better go into the pulpit stNo, said he, machinery too far iron the wheel is not SO well, and quietly wen \ on with his labors. He evidently though it better for preacher and people to b' near together.
 The ancient swing sign formerly used a the old Rose tavern, is still preserved. Il is of unique design, initiative of a heart, l On either side is rudely painted picture of a bush, with bird lodged in its branch es, while near by is man holding a bird lin his hand. Underneath IS the inscrip ton in huge print, GA bird in the hand it worth two in the bush." Doubtlese sug gesting the propriety of stopping here midway between North and South Coven try, instead of proceeding farther. Or the top of the sign is the proprietor'f name, s'H. Rose, and at the bottom Ii the square and compass. This relic is 1T the possession of MT. W. H. Aver.
