Some time ago, it was announced that MT Baker of Washington, Conn.,, had bought an acre or more of land of $. A. Blackman of Hawleyvile and intended to put up a furniture warehouse. He has carried on business at Washington, em- ploying several hands. He receives fur niture parts in the rough, as they come from the machinery which shapes them and puts them together and finishes them. A short time ago, the plot for the build ing was staked out. It is below the store of II. s. Blackman, near the railroad and will be convenient of access by rail and highway. The lines staked out call for a building some 40x90 feet. Part of the lumber for the building has already ar rived and it is expected that ground for the foundations will be broken soon. This will be an important addition to the manufacturing industries of the town and to Hawleyville and it is hoped that great CT success may attend it than has attend ed some former ventures there.

A New Rector for St Rose.

Rev F. Donohue has been transferred
 from St Rose parish in Newtown to
 the Lakeville parish and his farewell
 sermon, Sunday, was surprise to many.
 The Lakeville parish includes missions
 at Canaan and Falls Village. Rev Pat
 rick Fox, who, first as curate and then
 as pastor, has had charge of the field
 there for six or eight years, will come to
 St Rose. He was expected to be present at Sundays services, but fall lamed him so that he was detained. He has oc- eupied the parsonage, this week. A man just past 30, with many sterling qualities of mind and heart, his coming to New town is under favorable circumstances and fruitful field for his best endeavors opens before him. + ii
 After pastorate of seven years at Thompsonville, Father Donohue came to Newtown and many and marked changes have been made at St Rose during his two-years' stay in Newtowp, in the i'm provement of the grounds at St Rose; of it's church, both in exterior and interior work and at St Patrick's hall, which has been thoroughly repaired. Much has been done toward removing the heavy debt which hampered the church when Father Donohue was placed in charge and the energy he has shown in accom- plishing this work in this short time is remarkable. With the aid of interested friends, a choir of children's voices has been trained for the service of the church, the young ladies organized for work in various Sodalities and work in the Sun day school pushed vigorously. The mis- sion church of St Stephen at Stepney is another fruit of his labors. While the has not appreciably increas- ed, there has been little falling off, des- pite the many deaths which have atflict- ed the members of St Rose. Father Loft us, the curate, is not expected to return from New Milford until after Easter and till then, it is said, Father Fox will be alone in his work f1efe.

Rev MT Chapman Resigns.

Secretary l. P. Blackman received Rev A. F. Chapman's letter of resignation, to take effect April l, Saturday and the mat ter will be acted upon by the vestry of St Johns church at an early date. Mir Chapman will go to St Luke's in East End, Bridgeport. It is apparent that there is the best of feeling in the church and parish and regret is expressed that MT Chapman's pastorate of nearly five years is so soon to end. The cordial support given Mir Chapman by St Johns church and parish has enabled him to carry on the various branches of church work with success and the bishop has made wise choice for the young and growing parish at Bridgeport, where, no doubt, he will be able to build upa thriv- ing church.

Milk producers in the five States iron

Milk producers in the five States from which New York and Brooklyn draw their enormous daily supply of milk, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts, have again combined against the New York milk exchange, under the laws of New Jersey, as stock company with capi- tai of $l,000,000. The great question seems to be the disposition of the sur plus milk. There is an overproduction of milk of about 1000 cans daily, or some thing like 10000 quarts. The producers want the dealers to take their extra SUD- ply, but the latter decline, hence the bit ter feeling between the two factions. It is roughly estimated by E. D. Woodruff, secretary of the milk exchange, that the daily consumption in New York, Brook lyn and Jersey City amounts to about 64O,0 ,000 quarts. The retail price is any where from five to eight cents per quart; the average is about seven.
