with a pecuniary result of $5S2 91. The hall has been rented several times, we receiving $24 from this source and SIP from the gifts of friends for general pur- poses. Our lease of Washington hall ex- pired April 10, but, at a special school meeting held April 16, 1890, the lease was renewed for five years, at a nominal rent. Nor is this the only proof of con fldence in us and sympathy with our aims shown by our fellow citizens. And as confidence begets confidence and gener- ous appreciation stimulates effort, we hope, during the coming year, to prove ourselves not unworthy of the kind and helpful words and deeds by which the gentlemen have shown that they identi- fled themselves with us in the work of improvement.

condition of the town of Southport is bad; rest of the town good. Is that q fact? Southporters deny the imputation most emphatically and hardly expected that such slur would be publicly cast on their little village, by one who is known to but few of them and is, in re- ality, comparatively recent acquisition to the town. If the gentleman had seen fit to enquire ot our Southport physician, I think he would have found that it com pared in general sanitary condition very favorably with the other parts of the town and that, certainly, they did not aspire to outshine the piggery, which is not situated in Southport. If our sani- tary condition is SO bad, why state ty- phoid fever, not unusually prevalent; :; scarlet fever, little or none; malarial dis eases, less; diphtheria, but few cases. Are not these diseases prevailing sure contingencies of bad drainage? It is about time that Southport should stand up little for it's own rights when state ments so damaging to it's welfare and prosperity as this are strewn broadcast through the State in public documents. Southport has just cause for taking um- brage at this report, as it is the only place in the whole county of Fairfield in which no lenieney has been shown. It is utter ly bad and the only bad one in the coun- ty and the county is not small one.

A S200 FESTIVAL,

Never have such preparations been made for an entertainment by the Congregational people as for the strawberry festival on the town square, last week Thursday. The success which was scored was beyond all expectation, as was proved by the fact that, while about $25 is usually realized at such en- tertainments, nearly $2o0 was taken in, this time, about $50 of which is net It was given for the benefit of the building fund of the church, for which the pro- ceeds will form a most acceptable nucle- us. The entertainment was held in a large circular tent, kindly loaned by G. B. Bunnell, whose fame as snowman is eclipsed by that of Barnum only, 40 feet in diameter, which was gaily decked with flowers and flags. Four rows of Chinese lanterns, suspended across the interior of the tent, gave pretty effect, which was heightened by other lanterns among the trees. The entire affair was under the direction of the young peoples society, upon whom not a little credit is reflected by the complete success of the undertaking. The tent was set. up and arrangements perfected by Dr Donald
 son and Attorney Wakeman. Inside the tent were booths for the display and sale of confectionery, flowers, cake and lem
 onade, with pictures of the exterior ant interior of the burned church, while in smaller tent which served as an annex and was used as kitchen, ice cream anC strawberries were dextrously served. 4 great crowd was present throughout the evening and, from o'clock until nearly
