EAST VILLAGE.

One of the many pleasant features in- cident to country home life occurred, last week Wednesday evening, at the residence of A. M. Stevens of Bagburn hill, gathering of few of the many friends of MT and Mrs Stevens, to listen to a fine musical entertainment by Prof George Stevens of Brooklyn, N. Y. Prof age, of fine physique, flowing white beard and clear, resonant voice, is we'll worth listening to. Few men of his age equal him, less excel. His rendering of "Negro Melodies ,'' ss'The Kittens in the Sawdust," etc., were side shakers, while in the pathetic and humorous, he seemed perfectly at ease and well adapted. His voice is clear and enunciation fine. 1.-The Old Oaken Bucket" s'Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,'' and others were finely rendered, showing him to be we'll up to the requirements of the hour. There is many young soloist, who might learn of him. Of those present were Mrs William H. Curtiss, William A. Curtiss, Mrs Charles McEwen, Mrs D. c. Wells of New Haven, formerly of this place, Miss Ada Stevens of Lacrosse, Wis, and others. The evening was pleasantly spent and will pass into pleas ant memories.

There has been widespread indignation because w. L. Iams, IS years old, one of the Pennsylvania militia on guard at Homestead, was strung up by the thumbs for saying that he was glad that Prick was shot at Pittsburg. Iams was order ed to be tied up by the thumbs under the direction of Major Surgeon Nuff and Drs Ullom and Grim. The order from Col Streator was that he be made to suffer, but that no physical injury be done him. Adjt Hayes, who stood by all the time, says that Iams was tied up, but was not lifted from the ground. He was able at any time, so loosely was he suspended, to have borne his full weight upon the ground. He, however, shifted his weight from one foot to the other and the pun ishment simply consisted of the culprit's having to keep his arms suspended for l9 minutes. Iams has begun suit to recover damages because of his punishment.

David A. Wheeler's house in Walnut Tree hill might have been built upon land that was taken up by his father Nathan on the 3d Monday of October, 173S, ,when the unoccupied territory of the northern half of the town of Stratford was bid of by lot. The house where William H Thompson lives to-day was built for Ma thaniel Wheeler, son of David and Abi gail. It is probably the oldest house al present standing within the limits oi Walnut Tree Hill district and may have been built about the time the American colonies declared their independence o1 Great Britain.

"We shall have seven cottages in which peasant girls and lads from Donegal and elsewhere will be seen at work, weaving, spinning, dyeing, sprigging, carving, etc. The girls will look very pretty in Connemara red petticoats, fishwife skirts and blouses, and scarlet cloaks. In the first cottage will be precise model of a cottage in Donegal, with undressed walls of granite, with hooded fireplace and dresser full of bright crockery; girl will be seen dyeing and spinning our fa- nous hand-and-hearth homespuns, the wool of which she gets from the lichens and heather of her native bog outside. There will be an imitation peat fire and on this the dyer will from time to time place her iron potato pot, and proceed prove immensely attractive to sightseers, and, as we'll as the carding, spinning, and bobbin filling, which will be shown here, is an extremely interesting process.
 In the second cottage there will be lin- en weaving and embroidering of the ia nous Kells art embroidery; whilst linen damask weaving on a Jacquard hand loom and fringe knotting will go on in the third cottage. Between this and the next cottage there will be model dairy, in which dairy maids will be at work churning and butter making. I can as- sure our American cousins they will have chance of some good butter, as we shall send over some of the world famed Kerry cows, which will be stabled at the rear. There will also bea pleasant, cool spot here where visitors can rest and drink iced milk.
 In the fourth cottage, which is under the especial care of the Irish industries association, every description of Irish lace will be shown. There will be a Limerick lace worker at her frame, the Torchon lace worker at the pillow, the numerous varieties of point lace, and so forth.
 Sprigging and veining, which are em- ployed in the production of the beautiful will be shown in the next cottage. The girls of Down are especially noted for their exquisite and delicate work. We have not quite definitely decided about the two remaining cottages, but we shall probably show in the seventh the wood carving industry in Ireland, which has reached really remarkable degree of development when one remembers the workers and teachers are peasant lads. You should see the set of owls carved by some of my own boys for Lady Aber- deen, last year. The expression of the owls faces, as well as the execution, was excellent. Other features of our Irish industrial villages will be a replica of Donegal castle, an old well, and other in- teresting Celtic memorials. Ibelieve the Irish village will be successful; we shall certainly do our best to make it so."

 l Mrs Verona French is spending few
 weeks at Ocean Grove, N. J., with her daughter, Mrs S. B. Wheeler, and family. A shocking accident caused the death
 of A. l.. Winton, whom the old residents
 of surrounding towns will remember.
 MT Winton, at the time he met his death, last Friday about 4 p m, was driving up Housatonic avenue along the railroad. His horse became frightened at a passing freight train. Mir Winton jumped from his wagon and grasped the horse by the bit, but, unfortunately, the thoroughly frightened animal went over a small em- bankment and, with MT Winton, fell un- der the wheels of the passing train. MT Winton was crushed to death. The acci- dent has led the coroner to recommend that the Housatonic railroad be fenced along that avenue. Mir Winton was we'll known for his unswerving adherence to what he believed was proper and right in business and public life. Although ap- parently fearless of public opinion, he still desired the good opinion of his fell low man and, although exacting' justice, he was ever ready to show favor. He leaves widow and two children, David T. Winton and Andrew l.. Winton, Jr.

When Principal Fairbairn of Oxford was in this country, he spoke strongly against the American method of educat- ing young men for the ministry by put ting them into theological seminaries and advocated the English method of making ministerial study part of the general university course, pursued in the same atmosphere with science, literature and mathematics. In this way, he believed, much of the aridity, narrowness and ar tificiality of ministerial education would be avoided. A step in this direction, and long one, has been taken in the organ ization of the Colorado divinity school at Boulder, which starts off on non-sectar- ian lines and with most invigorating promise of breadth and catholicity. Rev Dr Kerr B. Tupper, Baptist, is to be dean of the faculty; Bishop Spaulding of the Episcopal church is to be profes- sor of ecclesiastical history; Rev Myron W. Reed, a Congregationalist,i is to teach the ethics of social reform; Rev Samuel A. Eliot, Unitarian, is to teach com parative religion; Rev w. c. Selleck, a Universalist, is to have charge of the his tory of Christian doctrines; and Rev All bert A. Pfanstiehl, a Presbyterian, is to be professor of systematic theology. The school is born of the great need in the Rocky mountain region for such an insti- tuition. It is to be non-sectarian; 1t is to investigate religious truth seriously and impartially; it is to be broad and catho- lie in it's spirit; it is to be hospitable to the intellectual methods of the day; it is to offer theological study without refer ence to denominational bearings; and it is to aim, not to fill men with informat- ion, but to teach them to think and act for themselves.

Reverend South. Haters.

The Northern Methodists went
through their usual program of
cursing and eliminating the South
at their annual conference. When a
fraternal delegate from the NJ. +.
Church South spoke in a most con-
sentative and temperate fashion in
defense of the South he was insulted
with "grOans" in which, according to
the New York Tribune, "even the
bishops joined" When he casually
mentioned the name of John Brown
the whole assmblage burst into rap
turous applause as signifying their
love for the memory of this MUIR
derous villain. Many members of
the conference rose and left the room
while DIR. 1igert was speaking, and in
every other way known to malice and
bad breeding, they attempted to insult
and humiliate the speaker. We do
not suppose that outside of hell itself
a more Internal spirit of hate is ever
manifested than in Northern Meth
odist conference. The father of lies
invention of calumny, and the most
constituencies Republican spell
binder in the country would be
ashamed to repeat the baseless and
atrocious ISLANDERS which constitute
the texts for the TRADE of foul abuse
which in the North are called "ser-
MONS" The conduct of these min
istersn on the occasion referred to was
merely that of common hOOdlums.
The reverend bishops who gratui-
tously insulted a christian gentleman
and minister for daring to tell them
that the people of the South were not
and scOundrels have much
more of the malice of the devil than
they have of the grace of God. In
the name of John Brown
they applauded his act and purpose.
They applauded his effort to excite
servile Instruction, to give the South
over to massacre, pillage and rapine
to the murder of men and the viola
ton of women. This was what these
pious and godly men would like to
have seen, not because they approve
of such crimes in general but because
they would gladly see the southern
people made the victims of any crime
and would applaud the criminal

GROVER AND PETER.

A telephone message from Thomas
store at Hurricane Switch informs us
that our friend John Mccall, of that
neighborhoOd, was there looking for
an extra size hat for himself. Our
informant says Mr.. McCalPs head
has grown wondrously in the last
twenty-fOur hours, and he associates
this with the fact that two bran new
babies at his house are named Grover
and Peter. The Buchanan men in
the 9Th district ought to abandon the
fight, through respect for this charm
ing Democratic mother, as well as to
give encouragement to others. The
HERALD takes especial interest and
pride in these strapping Democratic
boys, from the fact that their mother
is one of our household, our always
entertaining and graceful cores
pendent, Lena. If it was not for
hurting the feelings of Honest Gro
yer or Old Pete, we would claim one
of the names for ourself. Here's
to you, John, and to your family;
may you live long and prosper.

Churches are great but charity is
greater. A hungry stomach,
chilled and blOodless pulse, a desc
late hearth and an empty larder are
great foes to goodness. 'The King

IA lodgment along with mental agony,

A TIMELY WARNING.

State Lecturer R. w. Tucker, of
the Alliance, has seen the hand-writ-
ing on the wall presaging the defeat
of Buchanan and the overthrow of
the Alliance as political organiza-
ton. In long letter to the Louis
VILE Courier-Journalo OF Monday Mr..
Tucker cautions his Alliance brethren
about the dangers of revolt against
Democracy, and warns them OF the
dangerous results Of division in the
Democratic ranks. He says, among
other things:
"I deplore the course of many OF
my brethren who have espOused the
cause of the Peoples party and sought
to criticise all their brethren who
will not go with them into that party.
I depIore the course of many OF our
official organs that have become the
recognized organs of the Peoples
party, and are busily engaged In SOW
ing strife and confusion in the order
by their severe criticism of all menu
bers of the Farmers Alliance who
will not forsake their party and go
with them. Now, mark this predic-
ton: II the Farmers Alliance is ever
destroyed in the South its destruction
can be traced alone to these over
Jealous brethren and these organs,
who seem to have forgotten the fact
that the Farmers Alliance has guar
anteed to its members the utmost free
dom politically"
fuckers warming to Alliancemen
is in line with the we'll meant ad-
vice in the HERALD of Monday.
sit is my candid opinion" says
Mr.. Tucker, "that every vote given
the Peoples party in the South will
weaken organized Democracy and
strengthen organized Republicanism,
and in many sections may result in
negro domination and negro rule, as
the inevitable consequence OF division
among the white people Of the South;
and nothing could be more disastrous
to the cause of reform than such q
calamity"
The State Lecturers course is COM
mended to AIliancemen all over the
State as q worthy example. Moth
ing can be gained by an utilization
with the sO-called Peoples party,
and every vote cast in that direction
is one for Republican misrule and
against the faith of our Democratic
fathers.
