Subjects at the Congregational church (Rey. G. R. Dickinson, pastor,) next Sun- day: 4. M, "About our Fathers Busi ness" P. M, Excuses for not becoming Christian, beiug continuation of series of discourses began last Sunday evening. Nov that the creamery project is dead
 1a6on it transpires that many SH9le efpecting 8 different result, were hopeful and confident in fact, and yet had never made this interest known. No doubt next fall or sooner some one will revive the project, but if it is revived new hands must help in the resuscitation, and there must be more decided expression of ap- proval of the project on the part of the in. terested ones. No doubt Stafford farmers will be obliged to establish creamery to keep pace with those of others towns and to make the farm pay. Perhaps 1t is none to soon to begin now that next fall may find every farmer ready to house ice, and the association ready to go on with the buildings, etc.

 "A petition has been very generally signed by the business men of the town, Including every postmaster, asking the in- fuence of Connecticut senators in congress that Willard Dimmick be retained as mail carrier between Stafford Springs and Staf- fordville.
 @Arthur W. Kingsbury formerly of Staf ford, was married on the 9th inst, at the residence of the brides brother, H. B. Chaf6ee, at Lynn, Mass, to Miss Fannie Chaftee, and on Thursday last the young couple had a reception at the home of the groom's parents, MT. and Mrs. c. R. Kings bury of Stafford Street, which was attend ed by many friends, who made numerous presents of silver and glass ware and other articles useful in preparing for housekeep- ing, besides which many hearty wishes for future happiness follow them to their fu- ture home in Thompsonville, where MT.

 The person who started the cry of "fire" at Oronoco Hall last Saturd " even ing might have done great mischief, if the crowd of people in the hall had not shown great good sense in needing assurances of the falsity of the alarm, and resumed their seats. Even in case of actual fire in the hall the worst results can come only from panic and the wedging of mass of peo pie toward or about the exits. The safest course in such case is to keep out of the crowd. There are exits sufficient to clean the hall very quickly of people if there is no panic. And the hall is fitted with hose, from which aqneduct water can be quickly got upon any blaze.
 St. Edwards Dramatic Association will give the annual entertainment this year on the eve of St. Patrick's day, which occurs on Sunday.

 The Springfield Republican says that it is the republican senatorial caucus that has .'hung up" for thepresentJ. '. .Squier's nomination to be postmaster at Stafford Springs, and not the senate itself. It is probable that the case will share what ever fate may come to several similar cases. Local politicians seem disposed to let matters take their course. MT. SQuier as postmaster would be acceptable to ey- erybody, as would Miss Marcia Whiton, who has had principal charge of the office for several years past, and who will prob ably get the office if MT. Squier does not.
