tional Convention bill passed last year
II was decided to postpone the conven-
tlon until the second Tuesday of May,
1894, and to elect the delegates at the
next November election as follows
One hundred and twenty delegates by
districts, four from each Senate district
and 3S at large, no elector to vote for more
than 10 delegates at large.
The remaining six delegates at large
are to be chosen as follows:
Two shall be chosen by either Of the
leading parties receiving the second high
est number of votes; two from any other
organization nominating by certificate,
and casting the third highest number of
votesj and the remaining two in the same
way from the organization casting the
fourth highest number Of votes
This bill gives the Prohibitionist and
Labor parties representation, and avoids
che constitutional objection to the law
passed last winter regarding the ap-
pointment of delegates by the Governor.
Senator Cantor will introduce the bill
to-day, and expects to have it passed at

THE LATE MRS MARLEY.

On April 10, 1893, at her late residence, Mrs Selina Wakeley. widow of the late Charles Wakeley, after very brief ill., ness, fell asleep in Jesus. Though at the advanced age of four score and four years. Mrs Wakeley has been very smart all winter, able to take care of herself and house and often to visit her neigh- bors. Some three weeks ago she had an attack of grip, but was getting over it nicely, till she went to visit one of her neighbors, taking cold when pneumonia set in and she lasted only four days. Some 5 years ago last March, Mrs Wake ley confessed her faith in Jesus by unit ing with the Congregational church of this place, and has lived uniform and happy Christian life. Having had natur- ally d very cheerful disposition and this sweetened and intensified through her faith and trust, in Jesus, she was one of the most happy and cheerful persons you could meet. Even amid the infirm- ities of age, she always had some cheer full thought, for those who might call to see her. Her funeral took place from her late home on Thursday afternoon and was largely attended by her old neighbors. Rev Mir Park conducted the services and spoke of "The Christians consultations in trials and death, from the words found 1st Thes. 4:12. Mrs Wakeley lost her four children in their

It seems to be our fate here with candidates to continu- ally change.

Next Sunday we have the promise of a candidate, sent here by Rev Nathan H. Whittlesey of New Haven, who is na- tive of this place, and who perhaps there fore knows better who is needed, and this one to come does so by his recommendat- ion and the assurance on his part that if he is secured, good pastor will be se- lected, so we hope a good congregation will be present to hear him for the proof must assuredly come especially in this manner to form judgment and decisive action.

 HALE AND HEARTY AT EIGHTY-IHREE.
 Among the earliest gardeners in this town is William Odell. Mir Odell enjoys the distinction of being the oldest man in town, having passed his S3d birthday. He is hale and hearty, and through his long life has enjoyed good health. From his fresh appearance and vigorous and upright bearing, he might easily be talk en to be much younger than he is. Evi- dently his has been Il temperate and we'll spent life. Mir Odell had no assistance on starting out in life, except that fur nlShed by his own strong and willing arms. He was natter by trade; and bv untiring industry and frugalty, secured the wherewithal to purchase fine farm in South street, where he has lived for the last 30 years A family of three sons and two daughters grew up, all of them maintaining good positions in soci- ety. Mir Odell has filled various town offices and represented the town in the state Legislature His political reminis- cences are interesting to the younger men of the day. Although his early oppor- tunities for learning were limited, yet he made up in sound sense what he may may have lacked in training. MT Odell is living example of what may be &C., complished by any young man who starts out in life with a determination to suc- ceed and who is willing to live temper ately. work industriously and deal hon. orably with all.men.

MIR LYONS INVENTION.

Jay G. Lyon, who lives in New Mil ford, (postollice Judd's Bridge), just over Washington town line, has receiv- ed patent, dated April II, for "propa- gating boXes." The design consists of body mace entirely of glass, having handles, a removable glass top having a central opening which can be closed at pleasure, and removable bottom. The sides are slightly inclined. It's purpose Is for germinating seeds, forcing plants, as roses, tobacco, cabbage and tomatoes. The special object to produce in- expensive, small sized boxes, at some $2 or $3 a dozen, each of which shall be an independent greenhouse on small scale
 They can be made of any size, and are provided, on opposite inner sides, with a pair of legs, and a removable partition adapted to engage the legs and rest upon the bottom. They will make an excellent means of pressing delicate flowers through the winter from being chilled or killed by frost, beside being ornamental for stand or table. Several pots of different kinds of flowers can be placed in the divisions making beauti
 ful harmony or contrast of colors. Mir Lyon has already corresponded with manufacturers of glass vessels and all that is now needed Is "to push things"

THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

We conclude by reports that we liste h. ed to Rev Mir Breckenridge for the last time for months at the Village church,
 last Sunday morning and evening. The
 newspaper reporter from Washington
 writes that he is engaged there for the
 coming six months. The theme of last Sunday mornings discourse was "Work
 for everybody" and that of the evening
 was "Everyday Christianity" which was
 in the form as announced last week of a
 lecture. In the evening we venture to say that the largest congregation was
 present which has been seen here al a
 Sunday evening service in many months.
 It seemed as it should be of much more frequent occurrence here. There is
 enough people here, good people too, to
 comfortably fill that church every Sun- day, and on the part of many we fear ex- cuses for not doing so would seem small if expressed. To all who are in the hab- it of going, it is an encouragement to see their neighbors and friends also present with them. Tosthe minister and choir especially,it must be the greatest encour- agement. One incentive, aside from the
 minister's interesting lecture of Sunday evening, which drew out the large con- gregation, was the musical program
 marked out and prepared by Prof E. A. Hayes for the evening, which was rem dered after only two rehearsals very sat- isfactorily by as full choir as could be seated within the rail bounding the choir space from the pulpit platform. The principal piece sung was the anthem, dering showed the finest order of skill and adaptation of tone~~and melody and effect of the leader and trainer. Prof Hayes seems to be most excellent as a teacher and thorough as a conductor. The other pieces selected from the church
 hymn book were more or less familiar to all but appropriate to the occasion and
 lecture and were listened to with good
 depreciation by the entire congregation.
 Prof Hayes at the close of the service ex- tended to the full choir hearty voice of thanks for their assistance and cooper
 ation with him through the service, but we thought the most thanks belonged to Prof Hayes for his voluntary and willing
 efforts extended, which did so pleasantly
 add to the exercises and interest of the
 evening and helped so effectually to draw
 out and together the large congregation.
 We hope the professor will when conven- ienh and agreeable, continue his valuable
 services in the same pleasing effort and
 services It does all good to see and lis- ten to full, well trained choir in con- nection with the other church services
 and such an addition as Prof Hayes to that portion of the churcE's workers can- not fail but meet with most hearty ap- preciation from all interested church at tendants. We regret to say farewell to Rev Mir Breckenridge. He has favored us but few weeks with his presence and
 labors. We hoped at one time the soci- ety's committee here might be fortunate
 in securing his services for an indefinite
