PREsByTERIAL HUMAN NATURE.

Evidences of .The Boom" Detected in the
Reports From the Churches.
A Prcsbytery is composed of just
about as much human nature and hui
man frailty as any other deliberate
body and would probably quarrel just as
much if they didn't have prayer at the
beginning and the ending of the meet
ings.
1t seems that if the preachers and the
ruling elders in Montgomery PresbY
terry sometimes forget about both the
prayers they have had and those they
are going to have, when they reach, say,
the middle point in debate, between
opening and closing prayers. Some
brother will get a little riled by the
strictness of the moderator, and try to
snub him, and then when he gets up to
ask the moderator to order doors shut so
the hum of trade in the streets will be
shut out, the moderator gets in his re-
taliation and tells the brother (who is
noted for his much speaking) that 1.-The
moderator thinks the doors should he
left open SO the noise may escape"
Then some other brother breaks in
upon a co-presbyter who has been ex-
aiming candidate all through church
government, from the patriarchs to the
Presbyteries, and says, "Mr. Moderator,
| think the brother who is conducting
the examination has shown the Pres
bytery about all he knows on church
government, and l move the examina-
ton rest here" and the examining
brother thinks within himself and
settles back in his seat with sore
place in his heart and thus the meet
ings go on, but when the session is
about to end and the preachers sing the
long meter doxology in closing they
begin to feel little sorry for what
little stabs they have given each other
during the day, and before they get
through the last line, 'Praisc Father
Son and Holy Ghost" they get entirely
sorry and as they 60 out of church they
hunt up each other and mutually apo
logise.
Tho members of the Montgomery
Presbytery arc not very numerous this
session, and look rather scattered in the
spacious Presbyterian Church. Every.
body knows that the majority of preach
ers don't get very rich. and that their
labors through life are largely labors of
love, yet one thinks that in the reports
from the churches under the care OF the
Presbytery he can detect evidence of the
'boom" in Virginia. When the clerk
reads along in the reports till he gets to
us the pastors salary paid?" the an
swers in several instances have been rs
follows: Pastors salary fully paid"
Pastors salary paid all but $685."
Pastors salary increased $3.50"

 That of Waterbury Man.
 SEYMOUR, April S.-The body found in Rimmon's pond yesterday has been indentified as that of Timothy Hanley of Waterbury who has been missing since February 26. He was addicted to drink and it is believed that he fell into the river at Waterbury and was drowned, his body being washed down here by the freshet. The remains will be taken to Thomaston for burial.
 The only Timothy Hanley whose name is given in the Waterbury direct ory is solderer, who up to few months ago worked in Matthews x Will lard's factory. He left there and so it was said entered the employ of the Novelty company, although it was learned this afternoon that no such man was employed at that factory. A re porter called at the boarding house on East Main street, which was given as Hanley's residence, but the lady who conducts the place has only been in charge few weeks and could give nc information concerning Hanley. who has not boarded there since she took charge.
 It was rumored late this afternoon that the unfortunate man was Timothy Hanlon, son of Joseph Hanlon of Livery street. X reporter called ut Mir Han lon's house, but found no one at home.

Two Sudden Deaths Down the Valley
 This Morning.
 John Staunton, a pauper, was found dead in bed in the Ansonia almshouse this morning. He had been ill for sev- eral weeks with dropsy, but was not be- lieved to be in serious condition.
 Sheldon Davis of Seymour, retired Episcopal minister, died suddenly from heart disease to-day. He was 7S years of age and was graduated from Trinity college, Hartford, in 1887. He leaves a wife.
 Three Swedes living in Portland and working in Middletown started from the Portland shore in a flat bottomed skiff TOW boat, at an early hour yesterday. As the boat approached the Mlddletown ferry slip, the oarsman was careless in guiding the craft aud run her bow into something under water. The boat was overturned and the three occupants were soon struggling in..the water. One of them clung to the overturned boat while one other grasped a pile on the ferry slip. The third was less fortunate and came near drowning. Captain Hedges, of the ferryboat Brownstone. went out in a small boat and pick ed them up. They returned home in a sad condition.
 James Burke. aged nineteen, son of Michael Shields. was killed by the fall ing of a derrick in Ansonia yesterday morning.
 August Turnquist's three year old child at Portland was burned to death Monday night by it's clothes taking fire from a stove, it's flesh being burned to a crisp before the flames could be extin- guished. The medical examiner found no cause to blame any one for the acci- dent.
 There IS not a rat alive or to be seen around the station of the Electric Light company at Birmingham to-day and it is all due to the killing of them off by placing copper wires in connection with the dynamo and on the end piece of meat or cheese. The rats became so bold that they would almost chase the engineer out of the building and he de- cided to try electrocution. He says it was fun to see the rodents jump the moment they touched the meat, but the wire and the meat stuck to them until | life was extinct.

A Would Be Fugitive From the Reform
 School Captured by His Companions.
 While one of the officers at the reform school at Meriden was breakfasting, yesterday morning, he left 12 boys, that were in his charge. digging celery pit. Shortly after he left them one of the 12, a new conner at the school, concluded that he had a favorable chance to escape. and made a break for liberty His plan didn't work. The other II boys who had been longer at the inst- tuition were opposed to such tactics and put chase after the truant, overlook him, and brought him back to the school. Such an incident very aptly illustrates the good feeling which exists between the officers of the school and the boys.

YounR Donovan Discovered by Ills Father
 at . Lonely Farm House.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn, April s.-Young Harry Donovan, who was kidnapped from his home in this city 8 short time ago, has returned to it with his father.
 Mir. Donovan found his boy near Bay Shore. L. l., at a lonely farm house, many miles distant from any other dwelling. Mir. Donovan states that in company with his attorney and Miss Leete, the woman who aided the kidnap- ping, he visited Bay Shore yesterday. There he ascertained that Mrs. Rankin had disappeared with the boy, being as sisted by 6 man named Howells.
 It seems that this woman took the night train last Friday to New London with the boy, going to Greenport, where she took another train to Bay Shore.
 Donovan says he has instructed his at torney to prosecute Mrs. Rankin for the purpose of sending her either to jail or to an asylum.

Senator Hawlcy Says S125, ,OOO, 900 Should
 be Spent for Defense.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, April S.-Senator Hawley addressed the Board of Trade here on the weakness of our coast de lenses. He reviewed the deeds of the American navy in former times, and criticized the indifference of the people in recent years in the matter of adequate coast defense.
 The recent complications with Italy showed, he said, the rapidity with which trouble might come. He pointed out the fact that Halifax was a continual menace to our unprotected coast, for England, in case of war, would assemble her fleet there and in a few days could lombard both New York and Boston.
 He said the cost of effective coast de lenses would be about $125, 100000 but this would be extended over & term oi years and the investment would prov ( wise in all respects.

CHANGE IN THE REVENUE LAW.
Year Will End June 30 Instead of April 30
 as Heretofore.

Year Will End June 30 Instead of April 30
 as Heretofore.
 All persons liable to internal revenue special taxes have been notified that by the provisions of section tifty-three of the act of October 1. 1890, all such taxes for the full year will hereafter become due on the 1st day of July each year, instead of the 1st day of May as hereto fore. Persons liable, who have paid special tax for the period ending April 30, 1891, can have their stamps extended for May and June, 1891, by the payment of one-sixth of the rate for the year. To do this the person liable mnst make a return to the collector or deputy col lector and procure an extension certifi- cate, and similar return must also be made and a proper special tax stamp procured for the year beginning July l. 1891.
 Persons commencing business in May or June, 1891, must make a return on form eleven and procure a stamp for the period ending June 30, 1891. These returns must, in every case, be rendered in ample time to enable the officer to re- ceive them not later than the last day of the month in which the liability begins. For failure to make the return as above stated, the commissioner of internal revenue is required by law to assess a penalty of fifty per cent of the amount of the tax. The failure to procure a special tax stamp also renders the delin' quent liable to criminal prosecution.
