After a bountiful dinner in the vestry, large gathering of people, filling the church, came together at ? o'clock for the install lation services. The choir opened the program by singing "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow" The script ure was read by Rev Mir Temple, pastor of the Baptist church; the installation prayer was by Rev Mir Strong of Suffield :; sermon by Rev Dr Graham Taylor, pres ident of the Hartford theological semi nary; charge to the pastor, Rev Mir Day. idson of Windsor Locks right hand of fellowship, Rev Mir Wilson of Windsor :; charge to the people, Rev Mir Pettibone of Southbridge, Mass, the former pas tor; benediction, Rev MT Merwin. The choir sang appropriate music. The flow CTS were beautiful in design and numer- ous. The people of Poquonnock have given Mir Merwin and family a warm welcome. They have remodeled and beautitied their parsonage and in many ways expressed their good feeling. IF. Rev MT Merwin, who was installed at Poquonock, Friday, writes that the situ- ation is very enjoyable and that he al ready feels at home.

-DEERING MOWERS


 No farmer can afford to buy other mowers, as is proved by these facts: The cut is one third or one half wider than others; draft at the same time lighter; the perfect floating bar adjusts itself to all inequalities fthe land, gli- ding oyer stones and down into hollows, ,leav- ing close, even stubble; there is no choking or clogging, the machine being started in any place without backing; sthe pitman box can never become cramped and is protected by a heavy steel bar in front,its entire length; the mower can be instantly thrown into or out of gear, without the driver leaving his seat; it has the highest wheels and widest tread of any light mower; is as easy to ride as buggy; the one horse mowers are very paragons ot worth :; the Deering six and seven-foot cuts are the best two horse mowers made they do the work so much easier and quicker; the knives are not dulled after 8 whole seasons work, as the knife sections narrow (24 instead of 3 inches) that stones do not get in to dull them. 1 send these mowers on trial to any reSponsi- ble persons. All parts of these mow CTS broken in the first year of service will be supplied free.

Her History,

Miss Lulah Ragsdale, who took the
role of "Parthenia" at the Grand OPP
era house last night, was once the
heiress to millions, and her father,
Col. L. A. Ragsdale, was one of the
wealthiest men in Mississippi. Nearly
all the city of Meridian was owned by
him. Her brother died a few weeks
after he had returned from college
and his death unbalanced her moth
er's mind and she became hopeIessly
insane. Misfortunes came thick after
this and her father finally died over
whelmed with misfortune and grief
and the young girl was thrown upon
her own resources. Having some lit
tie fame in her own city as an anna
teur she adopted the stage as her pro-
fession, and will, with hard study and
careful coaching, one day become a
fine actress.

A Big Bet

A bet vas made in the presidential
election of 1882, rather an agreement, by
which the sum of 5000 was given outright
to one of the parties to the bet, the con.
ditions being that he should pay the 9th,
er man cent for one electoral vote that
Jackson should get over Clay, 2 cents for
three, 8 cents for four, 16 cents for five,
80 cents for six and 80 on, according to
the majority, if any, that jackson might
get in the electoral college. The man to
whom the offer was made incautiously
Jumped at It and eagerly took the 5000,
but soon found that he had obligated
himself for more than he and all his
friends could ever pay. The simplest
arithmetic will show that by rule of this
doubling up, even if the majority had
been but twenty, it would have involved
s5,242S3, to say nothing Of a majority of
ninety FIVE, which would bankrupt all the
Goulds and Vanderbilts. Even o majority
ofonly thirty would produce St, ,S6S, 07.12,

Cotton Spinning, North and South.

The cotton mills of New England have
been unusually fourishiDg the past year.
Some of the dividends earned have
amounted to thirty per cent. carrying
large sums in each case to the reserve
fund to meet repairs and extepsions and
to enable managers to tide over dull
seasons.
Not less than twelve mills are now
building in Massachusetts, and several
more arc going up in New England.
These facts suggested to the Chatta'
noogs lradesman the immense advan.
tages the South has oveg q section where
climate is bleak and ysssss.e water courses
are frozen part Of Es0 year. Eastern
mills are compelled tEisfvercome an arid
atmosphere by food@g their weaving
and spinning rooms with steam to give
the thread proper tension. Every New
England mill, too, must keep an expert
cotton buyer in the South. Now, with
all these disadvantages New England
spinners net full dividends every yesr.
What must be the prospect for that
section where cotton grows at the base OF
the mills, where proper humidity pre-
wills for the manipulation OF threads
without artificial e1pedients? The cost
of getting raw material to the North
gives the southerner q profit over his
New England competitor right of. Wages
are lower here than at the North. I'm
fact" says the Iradesman, "our Southern
spinners have the advantage of lower
cost of production at every point, and
they have vast home market for goods
in which no competitor can disturb then" :"
1t should not excite wonder that, con-
sidering the surrounding of both, the
Southern cotton-mill industry has in
creased ut much more rapid rate in
the last few years than that of New
England. a statistical return OF cotton
mill operations in the South shows that
there were for tho year ended Sept. 80,
1888, 235 mills running against 219 last
year, gain of II; that the Southern
consumption for the year 1873 was
443, 1878 bales against S93, ,466 in 1887, a
gain of so 900 bales. The gain in spindles
was 81 ,239, in looms, 5000. and the gain
in pounds of cotton consumed 2S,500,0O0
There were 164 mills in the South in
1880, showing gain of more than 80 per
cent.
ALI needed, in Southern cotton mill
management, concludes the 1radesman,
to make the mills the most profitable
plants of their kind in the world, is
something more of the thrift and system
displayed in New England and copied
by the Old Augusta factory, the Eagle
and Phenix of Columbus and the Wesson
of Mississippi.

Frank Buchla6d, the naturalist, had
very decided views in regard to the
teachings of nature: Birds that lay
their eggs in holes;;" he says, shave
round eggs. There are, however, certain
birds which incnbate their eggs without
any nest at all, upon the ,ledges Of rocks.
In this position tits very possible that
danger would occur to the egg by being
accidentally moved by the parent; bird,
or maybe by the.Wind. If the egg were

Ate Five Dozen Raw Eggs.

BALTIMORE, Dec. ia boiler maker
named Charles Howe astonished the
epicures at swell up town restaurant
last night by eating FIVE dozen raw eggs,
shells and all, on wager of FIVE dollars.
The eggs were placed before him on the
eating bar, half a dozen on plate.
The egg eater stood up in front of the
ten plates of eggs and taking one after
another broke the shells, sucked the
contents and then deliberately chewed up
and swallowed the shells. As he finished
a dozen eggs he asked for some spirits.
Whisky was rendered him, but he pre-.
ferred pure alcohol and took big drink
from the bottls that supplied the spirit
lamps.
He repeated the dose after every
twelfth egg. In halt an hour all the
eggs and over pint of alcohol had been
consumed. He then pocketed the FIVE
dollars, buttoned up his vest, remarked
that be had often eaten nine dozen eggs
in the same manner and left the group
of astonished men wondering whether
the boiler maker had an iron. plated
stomach.
