Rev Mir Blanchard of New Haven oc- cupied the pulpit of the church, last Sun day morning and evening. As the day was one of the plcasantest enjoyed thus far this spring we must say that we felt as much benefited by our ramble of the afternoon amid the beauties of nature as we derived during either of the services at the church. We believe there are times and seasons of the year when we gain by q knowledge and contemplation amid natures works and looking through and up from natures God, as many sermons can afford us. Next Sunday we have the promise of minister who has been here several Sundays previous during hall, New Haven, and when here before, he was decidedly and universally well liked. At that time, he decided not to engage as permanent pastor here but re- gently the committee of the society has been told that he might be prevailed up- on to revoke his former decision. At any rate, he has consented to come again and we hope a large congregation will be present, next Sunday morning, to greet him. It does seem as though it is time that one could and should be found to minister to the spiritual needs of the church here. We have been favor ed with the presence of nearly or quite GO different ministers in the pulpit dur ing the past Is months. If one out of that number, worthy and acceptable, has expressed willingness to preach to us regularly for an indefinite time in future we should say, secure him before some other church has a chance, or takes ad- vantage of the same.

THE MAIL ROUTE.

Report says that William c. Beemau has secured the contract of carrying the mails from Warren to New Milford and return each day, for four years from July l,1S93. The hardest and most unprofita- ble part of the route seems to be from Warren to this place, which has been very satisfactorily carried for two years by Mrs l.. E. Brague. Through many storms as we'll as sunshine, (assisted somewhat by her husband and son) has she come down five miles each morning (except Sundays) reaching here the past few months before : a. m., and returned in the afternoon of each day.

We can no longer say on the highlands of Litchfield, that spring has not come. A new life is pulsing everywhere in tree. and shrub, ,and grass, ,and flower, and who can walk over the beautifully carpeted fields and not hear the voice of Jehovah saying to you and me, what he said to Moses at Horeb, '.Take the shoes of thy feet, for the place whereon thou standeth is holy ground" He was indeed there.

The Grave Responsibility That Now De-
wolves Upon Governor Reynolds.

inc Sr'tFA iNespDnslnlltty Inht NOW Dc-
wolves Upon Governor Reynolds.
Philadelphia RecorG, January CD.
4 very grave responsibility has been de-
VOWED upon Governor Reynolds of Della
ware, in choosing proper persons to ill
the two vacancies IN the high court of
errors and appeals. The live judges oC
this court hold Office for life, and the sole
power Of appointment ~ vested in the
executive by the constitution. These two
considerations should make Governor
Reynolds wary in the exercise Of his dis
erection. Any error committed would be
most difficult to, remedy; and as there eN-
lists no constitutional check upon his dis
erection after his choice shall have been
made he should freely consult with
reputable representatives OF both parties
before making his iiual selections. It is
Of the utmost importance 70 have npon
the bench men OF the highest character
and capacity. This is essential To the
whole community, to the poor and the
weak even more than to the rich and
powerful.
For the vacancy in the Chief Jtisticeship
the governor will have the whole state III
which TO make his selection, but the asso-
ciate justice must be Il resident OF Kent
county. 1t would be ont Of place Tor the
iitcord to volunteer any advice rs to par
ticular individuals fitted Tor judicial SER
vice; but there is one aspect OF the situa-
ton to which attention may properly be
directed. -partisanship on the bench
| - necessary to the proper administration
Of justice, Governor Reynolds is acting
| for the whole population Of Delaware. He
| has the opportunity to give the Republican
| party representation in the court of errors
and appeals. Nothing should deter him
from appointing u Republican except Il
failure To find the requisite fitness for the
| office in a member of that party. II the
| Justice Of the minority representation
| should not Of itself be sufficient induce
meEt Governor Reynolds might well colt
| suit the larger interest Of his own party.
Delaware, in sending baclca Democrat To
| the United States Senate has probably
| saved that body to the Democratic party
and made the possession of the Federal
| Congress n possibility at a time of the
| greatest urgency. The key t. such power
should not be surrendered. The narrow

As the law now is in all first class offices,

The total number of employees at this

by the postmaster here.
The result of being placed under civil
regulations would be that no appointments

the civil service recommendation For
this all applicants would have to pass the
public competitive examination. They
would retain their positions during GOO!
conduct and could be removed only for
