BIRNINGHAM, Conn, June l1.-A boat in

named Carter upset in the river here
at noon. Updike seized Carter as he
was going down for the last time, and as

succeeded in getting him ashore. Up

New. w. L.. Wright.

Rev W. L. Wright, pastor elect of the
Baptist church of this place came down
last Friday and preached in the Baptist
church Friday night. lie also preached
Sunday morning and Sunday night. His
sermons were well received and greatly
enjoyed by the church and the entire
congregation. They were marked
by pathos and apt illustrations, without
any attempt at labored oratory, or
sensation.
Mr.. Wright is tall and slender, Of rather
dark complexion, with sharp features, OF
rather languid appearance when composed
or seen at some distance, but animated
when speaking, either from the pulpit CT
in conversation. He has piercing gray
eyes that CLEAN with truth as the speaker
gives expression to it with the lips. He
is between thirty FIVE and forty years old,
we judge. and is one of the strongest
preachers in the State. Though he has
given no iutimatIor as to whether or OF
ne will accept, the church and entire
community hope he will come, and will
be greatly disappointed if he does not.

Hon. Justin Tyler tells good story on
himself. Our old friend is quite methodica
and has been in the habit of putting hi 8
garden seeds away in little bags until used.
Some two weeks ago. he thoughthe would
plant few watermelons-for the coming
amusement of the boys, no doubt-and tax
ing down, as he supposed, the bag contain
ing the proper seed, proceeded and did
plant quite patch. He did not think much
of the transaction until the other day his
better half told him that his watermelon
seeds were up and advised him to go and
look at them. He did so, and thought they
looked little suspicious, and on examining
the shoots more carefully, found them to be
sunfowers! He had gotten hold of the wrong
bag, and laughable joke was on Justin,
who heartily enjoyed it.
