STEPNEY.
AT THE CREAMERY.

The creamery is really alive again
 In the hands of the present owner things are looking decidedly interesting, and confidence in it as a benefit to the com. munity is being rapidly restored. The report is authenticated that the present make of butter is more than four times what it was at the beginning. After, this week, quantity of cream will be received from various points up the Housatonic Valley, swelling the daily output greatly. A length of 24 feet is being added to the ice house, local car penters doing the work. The building will be used for stables and wagon house. MT Sage says he desires it to be fully understood that he has "come to stay" Everything is being done in a thoroughly complete and permanent manner. The success of the enterprise is assured. It is rumored that separa- tor is to be bought for the accommoda- tion of those who prefer to carry milk.

AN INTERESTING MISSIONARY MEETING
AT THE CONGREGATIoNAL CHURCH.

Last Sunday evening a missionary meeting was held which, in point of at- tendance and interest shown, Outranked all it's predecessors. These meetings, JOG curing monthly, have come to be an es- abolished part of the work of the church, and will doubtless lead to knowledge of many mission fields whose study has been hitherto neglected, besides, through the collections received, adding largely to the work the church will be enabled to do. The subject for this meeting was "leroic Heralds of the Cross" NJ. C. Rodgers spoke of Joseph Hardy Neesima, the run rway boy who became the pioneer in Japan's great educational work. Japan, like the great Chinese Empire, lay for centurie3 little known to the outside world, being one of the distant countries If the vague Orient, till Commodore Per " entered it's waters in 1857 and opened commercial relations with this country. This awakening of the country from the
 long sleep of the past brought Neesima to these shores where he became an ob- ject of interest to Joseph Hardy, a Bos- ton merchant, who helped him to an edu- cation and gave him his own name. The Doshsa,' ,'' in TOlio, a full-equipped uni versty, with over 1000 pupils enrolled, is JApan's monument to the labors of the runaway boy. Rev MT Barker told the wonderful story of what missions had done for Madagascar. Early in the cen !, IcI
 was wrecked on it's coast and all but 12 nf his shipmates pershed by the lances Of the natives, no country more savage could be found. Might was the only right, women and children were carried off like cattle and made slaves, the most absurd and degrading heather ceremon- ies were of daily occurrence. The French governor of the isle of Bourbon said of the people: "You might as well attempt to convert sheep, oxen or asses" To- day Christian queen rules, the symbols of organism are nowhere to be seen, and through the land breathes the spirit ex- pressed in the notices which she adopt ed at her coronation: 'Peace on earth ;" "Good will to man;' 'God with us." c. NJ. Penny gave an account of the work of Edgerton R. Young among the Cree Indians of Hudson Bay. It took him two months and 19 days to reach his field, and, once there, he was 400 miles from doctor or postolflce and heard from the outside world twice year. His parish was 800 miles long and 300 miles broad He would make journeys on sleds drawn by dogs over snow three to four feet deep, when the mercury ranged from 40 to GO below zero. His success was phe- nomenal. When he went there, no Indian had heard the name of Jesus. They were eager for the Gospel. It was what they wanted and whole tribes were con- yerted. A. F. Smith spoke of the un- known heroes of mission fields. Carey, Judson, Mills and Livingstone are house. hold names to us, but how less deserving of honor are those countless ones who have worked silently, but yet have planted the roots of the true life deep in many soils! A lady worth million has left her home of opulence to work among the Jews of New York, and this is only one of thousands of sacrifices which only God knows and the record in Heaven tells.

Charles Reed and Mrs Katie (Wells) Knapp, botf of Naugatuck and both natives of New town, were united in holy matrimony al i the residence Of the brides mother, Mrt Isaac Wells of Sandy Hook, on Monday evening last, at s o'clock, Rev o. 0 Wright officiating.

MR LEES ROXBURY VENTURE.

The frame work for James Lees new creamery at Roxbury Station is now on the ground and the work is being pushed. Mir Lee calculates that he al ready has pledged the milk from 300 cows, and at once will ship off 50 cans a day. That MT Lee is hustler is evi- dent. In getting the foundations of the building ready he wielded shovel in company with men he hired. He is not afraid of work. MT Lee expects a model creamery there and the Roxbury farmers are naturally pleased. He has visited ROxbury every few days, and it looks as if everything might be in readi- ness by February.

It's Wonderful Efficacy
Newspapers Admit Dr Kennedy's Favorite Rem- edy Is All It Is Claimed.

The intense interest taken in the al- most miraculous cures made by Dr Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy at Athens, NY, and other places resulted in the Albany, N. Y., Journal sending a special repre- sentative to Athens to investigate the cases and it was found that many of the cures made by this medicine were sim- ply wonderful.
 In the cases of Lewis Glow, who had chronic kidney disease, Mrs Casper Brooks, suffering from female trouble and kidney disease, and Mrs William Tiffany, who suffered from general pros- tration. All these eases were abandoned by the attending physicians. Dr Ken. nedy's Favorite Remedy was then used by them and in every case an absolute cure was effected.
 c. E. Bartholomew. Kalkaska, Mich writes: 'Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy saved my life when I was vic tim of Bright's disease.
 II had been troubled since 1S69,' writes 5. N. Arnold of Rochester, N. Y. "with gravel and catarrh of the bladder

Walter Conrad was in front, steering, and behind him were Walter and Ernest Clark, sons of Wesley L. Clark. and Richard Tobin. Conrad was knocked senseless and Walter Clark and Richard Tobin had each leg broken and the other boy his arm bruised. Physi- cians were immediately called and it was for some time doubtful if the Conrad boy would live, but at the latest accounts he still remained unconscious, except at brief intervals, and the prospects are that he may recover.
