tional church of Hartford, who was classmate at Amheret college of Mr Barker. He charged the new pastor to be man of one book, a man of prayer, man of hope and a man of the people. Rev Mir Prentiss of the West End church, Bridgeport, gave the right hand of fel- lowship. He called MT Barker by his old college name of 'sCakens." The or daining prayer was offered by Rev Dr Palmer of Bridgeport, Rev Dr Mcleod and Rev Mr Slack assisting in the
 SOLEMN CEREMONY of the laying on of hands. The service as whole was 8 most inspiring one. The audience completely filled the body of the church, overf1owing to the galleries. Rev O.. O.

SHILOH.
HIG IWAYMAN AT LARGE.

H. G. Clark, our excellent butcher and grocer, was "held up" on his Friday route, via of Quakers' Farms, Kettle town and back to Zoar Bridge. When near the little bridge on the river road at "Sharp's Yard," he noticed a plank laid up on the others, and he thought best to examine. As he held up his horse he saw masked man in the bushes near and fearing trouble, put his wallet into his pocket. While stepping out to re- move the plank the hig hwayman leveled his pistol, and cried out in a gruff voice Don't you take another step.' Clark, who owns a very small stock of fear said, "Shoot if you''want to- and sprang into his wagon. At this moment the two girls he had assisted to get up stumbling horse, came near, when the would be robber ran up the mountain side. This verifies the old saying. "One good turn deserves another" The turn came quickly, and Mir Clark thinks this may have saved his money and perhaps his life. He says he shall carry pistol
 
 Mir Whitehead, who lost two cows from eating too many apples, bought two more.
 Michael Heating, hearing fox hounds making fearful cry in "Stopping swamp near Martin Ryan's, wen1 to them and found they had treed silver fox and were trying to jump up to him. He got Jimmy O'Connell's gun and shot reynard dead.
 Willie Winton's dog came suddenly upon q raccoon the other night and killed him without assistance. Winton says the grey squirrels run over the house, (Horatio Lattin's), chuck and wave their grey flags very often.
 From the hills of Shiloh in every di- rection, we see the most gorgeous foli- ages the eye ever rested upon. The evergreens amid the multitude of other trees adds charm to the rest. The mountains along the Housatonic are beautiful, exceedingly.
 "Tis distance lends enchantment to the
 view,
 And robes the mountain in it's azure blue,'' But autumn, gives endearment greater still And paints her every leaf with marvellous
 skill,
 And if while dying, leaves are thus beautified, How bright to dying man is the immortal

MONROE.
AT ST PETERS.

The superb window, given to St Peters by Abel F. Clarke of Newtown as me- morial to his parents, is now in it's place, and the fine colors and delicate workman - ship are simply wonderful. The subject is 'sThe three kings offering their rich gifts to the infant Jesus,'' the Virgin holding the child in her lap and Joseph standing back of her, making six figures. The faces are as fine as iE an engraving. The colors are mostly dark shades. The window was first placed on the east side but row of evergreens hid the light so that the effect was spoiled and the colors did not show. The window was then changed and placed on the west side where it has the full unobstructed light of day, and the rich colors show in all their beauty. The windows so far have all been made by Charles Booth of New York and thus are in harmony one with another. The furnace is now reset and people can attend church without suffer- ing from the cold. All around the church has been smoothly graded.

A GRATIFYING REPORT.

Charles Myers of Walnut Tree Hill and Harry Lyons of Waterbury, two boys who like te pull the trigger of a gun, went gunning, Saturday, the 22d, and had the good luck to bag eight squirrels, two rabbits and two coons. They had very smooth sailing getting the squirrels and rabbits, but when they tackeled MT and Mrs Coon they had a very hard time of it. Of course the boys had no shells but those which were loaded with bird shot, and that is where the coons had chance for their lives. But bird shot or bullets, the coons could not fool two such sportsmen as Charlie and Harry, who peppered them right and left, using l6 shells to bring them to grass. Arriving home the coons were weighed and they tipped the beam at l6 and IS pounds respectively. The boys got home very tired after their tussel, but happy with their day's luck!

At cer- tain time in his business he felt that there was crisis when he must decide W hat his life work must be. So returning to his early thought he entered Yale semi nary and fitted himself for the Christian ministry. His great purpose is to preach Jesus Christ and Him cruciied. In his paper Mir Barker gave very clear state ment of his religious views. His thought of God is that of one who is a loving,
