 A meeting of the 12 members of the Congregational society, appointed week before to make enquiries regarding a new church edifice, was held at the residence of Samuel Morehouse, Saturday after noon at 4. Those who had visited other churches, including those at Greenwich, Ridgefield and in New Jersey, reported and discussion followed. It was decided to hold another meeting at Dea More houses, Saturday at 4, when plans which have been requested from New York and other architects will be considered. The structure will probably be of stone; if not, of brick, with a seating capacity of $50, all on the ground floor, which will probably be more extensive than the old church. There will be no galleries, but chapel is to be provided, seating about 150, so arranged that church and chapel may easily be thrown into one large room. There will be no steeple, but an appropriate bell tower of stone will take it's place. The cost of such a building will be, probably, $35,0 to $40,000 and canvassing for subscriptions will probab- ly commence soon. The strawberry and ice cream festival at the lawn in front of the Town hall, Thursday evening, is the opening gun of the campaign.
