Permanent Building Desired.
A new transparency has just been placed
on English Hall where the meetings are held
that are conducted by Rev. w. D. Mossman,
the general superintendent of city missions.
The transparency announces that meetings
are held every evening, ''all are welcome"
etc. Mr.. Mossman is also missionary pas
tor, in which capacity he visits families
throughout the city, which makes q double
duty. The city missions work now includes
the work formerly done by the Gospel Union,
which suspended its beneficial influence last
May.
This is the fourth year that meetings of
the mission have been held during every
evening. The meetings that were held last
year at the room on Meadow street are now
held at English Hall, where fifteen meetings
are now held every week. During week
days the meetings are held at 7;45. A sing-
ing service is held on Sunday evenings, from
| 1880 to 7;45, when the regular service begins.
These Sunday evening meetings are we'll at
tended. At the last Sunday evening meet
ing an orchestra of ten pieces was present,
under the direction of r. B. Hughes. A
good choir was also present and entertained

One of the evening meetings is regularly
conducted by members of the Dwight Place
Church society. Last year the total attend
ance was 81, 481 persons at $50 meetings.
Miss Jessie Spock is treasurer of the saw
ings bank for children which is one of the
Institutions of the mission. This bank is
open every Saturday afternoon for the &C.
commodation of the depositors, of which
there are abou 100 who have altogether about
$3.50 on deposit.
One of the depositors is little girl who
has So. SO to her credit in the bank.
Children's meeting are held during several
afternoons weekly. and mothers meeting
is held every Wednesday afternoon at $3.50.
Miss Sarah J. Hume is lady missionary.
Those interested in the City Mission work
hope that q permanent building will be
erected here for the cause. One of these
buildings is to be erected in Hartford and
one Is already built for city missions In Meri'
den.

Registrars and Clergymen.

The Rev. DR.. McLane, pastor of the COL
lege street church. has written letter In res
ply to criticism concerning his action in
marrying Nellie E. Hill, minor. to Richard
e. Plato. He says the couple came to him
with the official legal evidence from the
registrar that they were entitled to be mar
rIed and he feels satisfied that under all the
circumstances marriage was In all probability
we'll In this case and the prospects of the
young couple for the future are quite AZ fair
as the average of their class. That there are
evils under the present system no one can
deny. II the registrar, who is the appointed
officer whose business 1t is to know that they
are of age and qualified to be married, issues
license In violation of the laws and is dere-
lict in duty, then let the aggrieved person or
the States attorney prosecute such registrar
end let him be punished to the full extent of
the law.

wildly Sensational.

Professor Brush, of the Sheffield Scientific

sational story printed in various papers that
Professor Lyman had mysterious secret
room at the school, of which he alone had
the key, and which was not to be opened un-
til after his death:
eyes, read the story. 1t 10 very ingen-
ious, but it doesn't contain word of truth,
except tho fact that there Is Q small observa-
tory behind North Sheffield hall. The as
sertion that the building has no windows ia
fa!se-there are three on the south side. The
lessor Lyman, always had keys to the OBJ
servatory and not a single secret, astronom-
ical or otherwise, is hidden within its walls, u
and Professor Brush laughed as he paid q
concluding compliment to tho writer Of the
romance.

Jan. 31.-The condition of Dixwell avenue
from Henry street through Hamden Plains
is and has been for many months disgrace
to civilization. Horses and vehicles founder
through the mudholes with great difficulty.
Repeated complaints fail to bring the needed
remedy.
The farmers and other residents now
count their fowls every morning since the
recent raid on several hen roosts by certain
narrow Quape thieves. Some of the robbers
are happily now in jail.
Next Sunday morning the celebration of
of the Lords supper will take place at the
Methodist church. In the afternoon at 1.15
O'Clock the Rev. N. Hubbell will preach on
the foreclosures of Jesus"
The Rev. D. McMullen, former pastor of
the Methodist church. expects to remove to
another field of labor from Islip, L. l., in
April, where he has preached for the past
three years.
The Rev. F. A. Scofeld of Higganum has
been invited to the pulpit of the Methodist
church for the ensuing conference year to
succeed the Rev. Nathan Hubbell, who has
recently resigned. It is quite uncertain
whether Mr.. Scofeld will accept the invita-.
ton.
A large number of families are still af1ict-
ed with la grippe, or the bad results of ito

invalids are consoled in part by the fact that
the scourge is very nearly cosmopolitan.
