AF1ourishlng Sunday school.

The annual meeting of Trinity M. E.
 church Sunday school for the election of
 officers, held at the residence of Superin- tendent c. P. Armstrong, Esq, was one of pleasing interest. The record of the past year was indeed gratifying. The school showed marked increase in membership and general department, owing to the inde- fatigable labors of the superintendent and his corps of trained teachers. The member ship is about five hundred. There has been large number of conversions during the year in the intermediate as well as the chil- dren's classes. The retirement of MT. Arm strong from the superintendency was neces- sitatsd by his removal to Brooklyn, N. Y. MT. Armstrong was presented by his teach CTS with a large and handsomely framed en- graving as slight token of the love and esteem in which he is held by the donors. The presentation speech was made by the pastor,
 Rev. Dr. Peck, in his usual felicitous man.
 ner, and replied to by MT. Armstrong.
 The election resulted in the choice of P. E.
 Bowman for superintendent and O.. M.
 Sheppard as assistant. After the routine of
 business was over the teachers sat down to a
 bountiful spread of good things for the inner

AFTERNOON SESSION

The Senate resumed business at 2:3o with Lieu Bill making an appropriation for the Departn, ant | of Agriculture for the year ending June 30 1887,
 Bill concerning the State Reform school. Provides l reached certain age they may be placed out to
 learn trades or some other useful occupation until | 2l years of age. Also provides that one more l persons may be appointed to look after the boys thus bound out by occasional visits to see that they properly cared for, at expense not ex- ceeding $1;500 per year in the aggregate, besides Senator Grosvenor explained the bill and said
 the trustees could not be expected look after | these boys when they received no salaries.
 for to oi the ae Senator Cleveland said that the Reform school was e1angsd in School for that when the boys leave they shall not feel that l The time is coming, said the Senator, when the State will protect and care for these boys.

Senator Staub offered an amendment striking out section 3, which provides for q salaried officer Senator Cleveland opposed the amendment. He said the boys would not be cared for unless this Senator Staubs amendment passed and the bill Senator Chapman moved to reconsider the bill passed at the morning session relating to the sup port of paupers. The motion prevailed and the to the first section regarding the auctioning off of paupers to the lowest bidder He said that he was satisfied that the pill Wo1ld pc osiDer % I than any way weaken the bill
 Senator Mclean moved to indefinitely postpone the bill; lost
 The bill then again passed.
 Senator Brewster moved to reconsider the bill passed at the morning session relating 10 pr1dgng railroad crossings at grade.
 Senator Chapman said the amendment passed in the morning limiting the amount to be assessed on towns at $500 would be unjust to railroad companies and would kill the bill Bridges at some crossings would cost $10oO0 and the benefits would be greater to the towns than the railroad companies, yet only $500 could be assessed on the towns to help pay for them.
 Senator Marvin opposed any reconsideration of the amendment. He said the towns wanted to know just what they had got to pay before bridge was commenced.
 The motion to reconsider was carried and the bill was then tabled.
 Senator Smith moved to reconsider the Meriden sewerage bill passed on Tuesday.

Given Up to Die by Nine Different
 Physicians-Cured by Dr. Henion at
 IO9 Orange Street.
 Mrs. Clark Nash of Waterville, N. Y, was taken several years ago with severe attack of inflammation of the liver, which terminal ed ill an aggravated form of dyspepsia and what was supposed to be an incurable chron- ic diarrhoea. MT: Nash, wEo was very anx- ious about his wife, employed the best phy- sicians of Hubbardsville, Waterville and Utica, all of whom attended her through a period ot several years without any help, Mrs. Nash growing weak CT and more emaciated until she had become 8 helpless invalid. During the tins she was taken with terrible form of female disedse, induced by such great loss of vitality, which also produced alarming at tacks of neuralgia of the heart. She had been given up to die by her physicians and her friends had abandoned all hope; and, as Mrs. Nash herself expressed it, 'fwere wait ing for death to terminate her sufferings." !" In this condition, without hope of relief, she applied to Dr. Henion, now at 1O9 Orange street, and in one month was entirely cured. Many of the best families of New Haven and vicinity are numbered among Dr. Henion's patrons and his success is unparalleled he treats all forms of chronic diseases and performs all surgical operations, and all of the cures that have been published are gen uine. Dr. Henion positively affirms that he can cure any form of female weakness after all other kinds of treatment fail, and be guarantees to cure cancers in less time and with less pain to the patient than by any other method. Dr. Henion's treatment is mostly magnetic, simply by applying his hands to the affected parts, still he is reg ularly educated physician and knows how and when to give medicine if it is needed. Rheumatism, female diseases, nervous ex- haustion, neuralgia, cancers, blindness, deafness, dyspepsia, and all nervous diff culties are cured without the use of medi- cine in many cases, simply by magnetism. Dr. Henion may be consulted free of charge street, and all of those who are suffering will call on him if they care to get well.

 NEW YORK, April z. The announcement that the east bound freight contract had been signed by Mir Sloan of the Lack awanna this morning, the only one of the trunk line presidents who had not signed the agreement yesterday, together with the that the North western association had been established and the rates to St. Paul and other points had been re- stored, had a favorable effect speculation this morning inducing considerable covering in some of the stocks and resulting in advance of A to 25s per cent. by 12:s0. The greatest strength was displayed by Jersey Central, Pacific Mail, North western, St. Paul. Lake Shore Lackawanna and Missouri Pacific The advance in the last named was on a small volume and was attributed to ma nipulation by insiders. The sales for the morning one-third was made up of transactions in Lacka- wanna, St. Paul and Lake Shore The bears made repeated attempts to force prices down on the last half or the day but they wholly failed. The Offer lngs were quickly bought in and the list well sup ported; Prices gradually went higher and at the close the pest figures of the day were current The afternoon dealings were, however, devoid of fea- ture or interest other thanth strength displayed.
