 | PERSONALS.
 Rev. B. B. Warner, who was rector of Grace church in this village for several years, leaving here in 1882, spent the clos ing portion of his vacation here, being a guest at the Knowlton villa, Rockwell Hill, Notwithstanding that it was vaca- tion with him, he yielded to the strong desire of old parishioners to hear him again, and ofaciated at Grace church Sun day morning. Mir. Warner went from Stafford Springs to South Manchester, thence removed to 8 parish at Stratford, and for three years past has been located at Bridgeport. About year and half ago his health gave way from overwork, and it seemed probable that he would have to give up his chosen life work for season at least. One day, while he was in this condition of physical infrmity, he was called upon by his vestrymen, who told him that they had been in council with his physician, and had decided that he must have rest, and advised him to try 8 trip to Europe. They presented him a check for $500, and gave him needed leave of absence, with continuance of salary themselves providing supply fol church affairs during his absence, also guarantee ing him an extension of leave of absence, and giving him leave to draw further on them for funds, if need be. This action, evidence alike of the kind hearts of the parishioners, and the hold which Mr. W. had upon their affections, was appreciated. Mir. W. went abroad on tour through southern Europe, found restored health in enforced rest, and in the benefits of sea and land travel, and is again doing good work as the rector of large and growing church in the wealthy and growing city of Bridgeport, which has lately taken place as the second city of the state, and is mak- ing strong pull for the head of the pro- cession. .:
