a corner drug store. A solidly built man.

him, stepped up and touched him on the
arm The man turned suddenly and hit

eyes sparkled with rage and his shallow
face grew livid with its convulsive work.

arms around the angry man and held him
till he ceased to struggle Then he released
him without word and walked along as if
nothing had happened. At the next drug
store tGe man in the pea Jacket glided ahead
and stood in the doorway The sallow man
stopped, frowned, doubled up his fists and
walked on. He went on steadily until he
entered a brownstone house on Forty

jacket went and took one drink of rye
whisky.

 Second-That no payments shall be made to scholars in colleges until it shall be certified that all their entrance examinations have been success fully passed.
 Third-That the society being an educational agency, it is not in harmony with the object and work to extend pecuniary aid to ministers of other religious bodies seeking holy orders unless with the of pursuing full theological course in some seminary of the church.

PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY.
Death Of Rev. Samuel y. M. Meryvin c
 This CIsy.

Death of Rev. Samuel y. III. MervUAA or
 This CIsY.
 The many friends, among our older resi- dents especially, of Rev. Samuel J. N. Ner- win, will regret his death, which occurred yesterday morning at 3 o'clock at his home, No. S07 Temple street. He was week ago taken i'll with remittent fever just after his return from two weeks' stay at the White mountains and was under the care of Dr. DaRgett. He died of sudden attack of heart failure. Dr. Daggett was summoned as quickly as possible, but the patient was beyond relief. Mr. Merwin graduated from Yale in the class of 1sSs, and from that year to 1840 he was employed as teacher in the Burr Seminary at Manchester, N. H. In the year 1s41 Mir. MerWin was connected with the Yale Law school, but discontinued his studies after one term and entered the theo- logical school at Andover, where he remained for short time, when he entered the Yale seminary and finished his theological course in 1S44. Immediately after being ordained he was installed as the pastor of the Congre- Rational church at Southport. In 1s44 he married Miss Mary Frances Bulkeley, and in 1850 spent the year in European travel. In 1854 he published book entitled tOld Sights with New Eyes," under the non de plume of s"The Yankee" The book had much merit and was we'll received by the public. Dur ing the years of 1S58-59 Mr. Merwin was set- tied in New York, but he returned to this State the following year and accepted the position as pastor Of the Cheshire Congregs~ tional church. MT. Merwin did not remain long in Cheshire before he received a call from the Congregational church at Hadley Falls, which he accepted. He remained here several years and was afterwards installed at Wilton. From that time up to the time of his death the Rev. MT. Merwin has preached in this section of the State, although he has retained his residence in New Haven. The deceased was man of more than average ability and had many friends in Congrega- tional circles. He leaves two children, son and 6 daughter.
