FAIRFIELD.
AT ST PAUL.

Rev Mir Jones, the rector, ,officiated on Whit-Sunday, and discoursed from text taken from St John, ,: 26, "He shall testify of me-" The personality of the Holy Ghost was the theme in accordance with the day. The subject was well treated and made clear to many who do not believe there is third person in the Trinity. God the Father has completed his work, God the Son had fulfilled his mission, planted His church on earth, and ascended to the right hand of His Father in Heaven, promising to his dis ciples that he would send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to be with them and guide them into all truth. At the after noon service the rite of baptism was administered by the rector to the infant son of Andrew R. and Mary 5. Hunting ton. He was named after his grand father David Hull Sherwood ,late warden of St Paul's parish. It is hoped the child may inhe it his futures, and be a faithful soldier of the cross as he is now enlisted under Ch1ist's banner and made an heir to His kingdom.

BASE BALL MATTERS.

We are, of course, very sorry that we are under the unpleasant necessity of announcing the fact that the first nine of the town, very recently organized, was defeated by the Gunnery nine, last Saturday. Those who read these few humble words, we hope will not condemn the town boys, they having done all that could be expected under the circum- stances. First, they had had very little practice. Second, they have not played together within two years; in fact some have not even played in a game during that time.
 Ye mighty and once expert ball players, Ye who have fought so many battle hot, Take courage, look forward and up, "Fight 1t out upon the spot, Ii it takes all summer.' The third nine of the town, however. played against the third nine of the Gunnery with score of 2S to 20 in favor of the town.

Died, on May 20, of Bright's disease, Emma N. Glover, l9 years of age. She was the oldest daughter of Sarah F. and BirdSey C. Glover. Although she has been in feeble health for the last three months, her death was sudden, the i'm mediate cause being convulsions. Pos sessed of a quiet, unassuming nature, she was most loved by those who knew her best. Ever thoughtful of the feelings of others, with Kind word for all, her works showed her to be practical Christian. Uncomplaningly she bore her sufierings through her long sickness with sweet submission, never utterlng q murmur. She was very hopeful and was able to be about the house until the day before her death. She leaves a father, mother and two sisters, besides large circle of friends to mourn her loss; yet not aS those without hope. Her funeral services were conducted at her late home and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, on Tuesday. The floral tributes consisted of a pillow with the word "Emma,' a wreath, two broken columns, a basket of pansies and num- Der of flat bouquets. The pail bearers were Homer Baldwin, Stanley Blackman, Robert Bassett, Harry Beers, Willie Glover and Eugene Lake. The interment was in the Village cemetery.

PI RLIC SPIRIT .

Great curiosity was aroused, last week, when "Charlie" Johnson appeared on the Town house green with lawn-mower and working tools, and proceeded to clean up. All day long he was beseiged with questioners, but he batfled all with his ready replies. Year after year this beautiful spot has been neglected and us- ed principally for a pasture. This to the shame of the public spirit of the village. Two years ago it was kept in order by MT Harrall, to whom we are in- debted for several similar acts. Now, however, the credit is due to woman, Miss Jennings, through whose interest and generosity the green is to be kept in apple pie order. With little mole of such spirit on the part of the people many spots in the town might be made beautiful.
