HoRsEMEN, ATTENTION.

The object of this article is to bring all lovers of that noble animal, the horse, together and form gentlemen's driving association. This is beautiful little town and the surroundings are beautiful. There are several fine animals owned in our midst, and where is there place in New England where they have better advantages than in this town to bring our young stock to the front with the proper interest taken by the owners? The success of C. w.. Williams and c. J. Hamlin and others, was the result of ambitious push and earnest love, accompanied with proper facilities. We have plenty of good material to work on and all that is nec- essary, is interest, harmony, etc. Let's all pull together and in very short time Newtown will stand in the front ranks. Now the first thing to do is to form a gentlemen's driving association. Make the membership fee light to start with, to get as many as possible inter- ested, and meet two nights per week in some appropriate place to consult and talk on horse matters. Have a com- mittee, president, vice president, sec- retary, and treasurer, and it will be sur prising to you to see how soon the horse
 interest will increase. The first step
 taken to form the above association will
 be to call meeting of all lovers of the
 trotting horse, to be held at the home oi
 Dr Spring, at the Bennett Blackmar place, Wednesday evening, November p, at 7.30 D. m. Let all lovers of the
 noble trotting horse be present.-l A New Conner.

OLD CHURCH MEMORIES.

The old house on Main street, so long occupied by Judge Russell, has nearly reached it's destination, on Elm street. Probably but few of the present residents in town know that for number of years the parlor of the old house was used by the Seventh Day Baptists as place of public worship, under the care of Rev Stephen Curtis. The society erected a small meeting house in 1885, but it was used only few years, the society being small. and the building was finally turn ed into a dwelling house.
 The Universalists once had flourish ing church in town, worshiping in the building now occupied by Beardsley's meat market. There are but very few of the old members now living.

REV MIR PIERCE RESIGNS.

REV MIR PIERCE RESIGNS.
 During the short time that Rev Charles L. Pierce and family have been among us they have endeared themselves to large circle of friends. Therefore it was with feelings of sadness and re- gret that we listened to the reading of the following resignation on Sunday. The good wishes of all will attend them to their new field of labor. His letter of resignation was as follows:
 Dear Brethren :-I herewith resign the pas torate of this church to take effect January l, having accepted a call to become the pastor ot the Baptist church at Yalesville, Conn. assure you that this change is not made with out regret on my part. but existing circum stances have made it plain to me that it is my duty to do so, and not only that the church at Yalesville has called me but that God, who called me to the ministry, has called me to this field. l pray that God will bless and watch over you and send one to Easton who will faithfully 'break the bread of lite' to you. I wish always to be regarded as one who is most earnestly interested in this church and it's welfare. Trusting that you will act upon my resignation at once. l au sincerely yours-ICharle l.. Pierce.

BEGS LEAVE TO DIFFER.

Your correspondent is in error. Of course the grange at Trumbull does very well, but when it comes to being the most progressive society in town, Parlor Rock council, o. U. A. M., claims the honor. In the little more than two years since its institution it has placed three American flags over as many school houses in town, increased the numerical strength from ? charter applicants to 49 members at present. It celebrated it's second anniversary in a way which the visiting brothers acknowledged eclipsed anything at tempted by any council of the same strength in the state. It carried off the first prize, of a handsome parade flag and silver mounted staff against all com petitors at the state field day." It de- vised bylaws which the state officers in their reports advised be adopted by all councils in the state. It has paid all it's bills and accumulated in the neighbor- hood of $500 beside. That is what we call s.the most progressive society in town" Within few days council of "Daughters of liberty" will be instituted and then Long Hill will have two of the most progressive societies in town.

patient, accomplishing and resigned. Mir Wilson was greatly respected by all who knew him and will be missed by large circle of acquaintance. He had been educated in the Easton academy where he took a full classical course hoping to enter college and then study medicine, for which he had preference, but circumstances prevented him carving out his plans. He had, however, large experience in teaching, having taught in the high school at Merrick, l.. l., and be- ing fine penman, later taught penman- ship for a year; he assisted in the busi- ness college in New Haven, and after ward taught in Darien, Fairfield Woods, Deerfield and Holland Hill. At the lat ter place he continued to teach to within eight days of the close of the last spring term, when ill health compelled him to resign his position. It is sad coinci- dence that scarcely year ago, namely on November 14, a brother passed away with the same complaint. The family have the deep sympathy of the cOmmu- nifty in their keen bereavement. Funer- al services were conducted at his late residence by Rev Dr Plumley, assisted by Rev J. F. Duinkerke, on Wednesday. No vember s, and his remains inferred in Oaklawn cemetery.
