 The Christian Endeavor society, under the leadership of Mrs. Timothy Root, Miss An- nie Barbour and Miss Agnes Rice, held a novel entertainment at the Congregational church chapel on Wednesday evening, con- sisting of tableaux, charades, singing and ice cream. A collection was taken up for the purpose of starting fund to purchase a piano for the chapel, after which the audi ence adjourned to the church grounds, which were illuminated with Japanese lam terms, where tables had been provided for the sale of ice cream, cake, etc., for the same fund. and successfully disposed of all that was on hand.
 MT. Dudley Mygatt, of the firm of Bradley & Co.,. John street, New York, paid flying visit on his way to Boston to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Whittelsey. On Wednesday car riage drive was taken to the Old Newgate prison, three miles above Tariffville, situated on the western decline of the Talcott moun- tains-one of the most interesting historical spots in New England to-day and one which few New Haveners have any idea of. Par ties are constantly coming there from Spring field, Hartford, Windsor and Sufield, but few from other parts of the state, and un- doubtedly ignorance of this romantic place is the reason, it being easy of access from all parts. A summer day can be spent so pleasantly and economically in the trip that the writer thought it worthy the while to call attention to 1t.

The Old Lighthouse.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER.
 Some people say that the government is
 going to sell the old lighthouse property. I
 do not believe it, but I believe I know that
 the government is not satisfied with the fact
 that though our town of New Haven is own.
 CT of the land all around Light House Point
 and up to Fair Haven by actual purchase of
 East Ha-en, the town of New Haven has
 not in all the six years of ownership even
 widened nor graded the highway along the
 shore for the last half mile down to the
 old lighthouse.
 These talks about town induced a carriage load of us to ride down to the old light, and to our astonishment we found that our enter prising board of selectmen had not rebuilt ths old East Haven shore road, even as far down az the noted Morris Cove house, but have stopped short Of it, leaving carriages and bicycles to iamb against projecting head stones of rock and spots of sand for the last half mile and the road itself single track road for the same distance. And yet at the end of the journey there still lives MT. Elizur Thompson and his wife, at the old light, as genial as ever, with nest of little cottages almost adjoining and the last whole mile of roadway unimproved, while from Tomlinsons bridge down almost to the Morris Cove house there is one of the best roads in the country. Besides, the last United States mail boxes we saw to receive letters and newspapers we found located between the Townsend and the Mitchell residence-and unpsinted at that-while the mail delivery extends down l to the Morris Cove house, but stops there, leaving, as we counted, the occupants of nine houses below within the space of half mile without mail facilities (which includes the United States lighthouse station on shore ! and the new lighthouse out at the mouth of ! the harbor) to tramp up to the Morris Cove house for their mails, although the United | States government has expended several hun dred thousand dollars in our harbor. What | do these things meeni
 It is worth ride down to the Mitchell
 place to see the congregated array of flowers
 and plants located on their acres of home
 stead lawn; and it would entice others to
 improve their property below the Morris Cove house if the town of New Haven would
 perform it's duty. and finish their work on
 the highway. We invited MT. Reynolds ! and the postmaster to take trip down to ! the lighthouse and see for themselves. We did so in double carriage and we

 It is hard to find more lovely sheet ol water than that of Lake Pocotopaug, situated in the village of East Hampton. A large island beautifully dotted with pine trees occupies the center of the lake, and upon 1t may be found the tents and camp of "We Three," MT. W. R. Judd, W. H. Bradley and Fl.

 about twenty-five feet high, with the sentry
 tower, are still fairly preserved, but the

Jail struck by Lightning

The county jail in Bridgeport was struck by lightning Thursday night. A ball of fire landed OF the front stoop, and portion of it entered the apartments of Jailer Wells. Mr. Wells was stunned by the bolt, and it was about half an hour before he recovered entirely. Paper on the wall was burned, but no other damage of account was done. In. mates of the jail felt the shock severely.
 The beautiful picture, "Will They Con- sent?' is a large magnificent engraving, printed upon sheet 19 inches wide by 24 inches long. It is an exact copy of an origi- nal painting by Kwall, which WAS sold for $5, 900.
 This elegant picture represents young lady standing in beautiful room, near a half fopen door, surrounded by all that is luxurious, while the young man, her lover, is seen in an adjoining room asking the con- sent of her parents for their daughter in marriage. The fine interior decorations, to- gether with the graceful position of the beautiful girl Is in keeping with the senti. ment of the picture. It must be seen to be appreciated.
 Tins valuable picture is fitted to adorn the wall of any ladies' parlor, and in order to offer an extraordinary inducement to intro duce our Wax Starch, this costly picture will be given away, free to every person pur- chasing three ten cent packages of Wax Starch.
 This starch is something entirely new, and is, without doubt, the greatest starch in vention of the nineteenth century, (At least everybody says SO who have used it.) It su. percedes everything heretofore used or known to science in the laundry art. Unlike any other starch, as it is made with pure white wax and chemically prepared upon scientific principles by an expert in the laundry pro- fession, who has had years of praeti- cal experience ir fancy laundrying. It is the first, original and only starch that by cook ing makes ironing easy and restores old sum- mer dresses to their natural whiteness, and imparts to linen beautiful and lasting finish.
 This great offer is only good for six weeks. after which the present will be omitted. and the starch sold at the usual price. Try it and be convinced of the whole truth. All we ask is to give it one trial. It will talk for itself and tell it's own story.
 Ask your grocer for Wax Starch and ob- tain this beautiful and costly picture free.
