 Gentlemen, representatives elect of the town of Willington! The time draws near when you will be called upon to voice your constituents in electing 8 United States senator. Nearly the entire weight of the party who voted for you to fill the position you now hold are pro- nounced in their desire that General Flaw ley shall be the man. Before the result of the presidential contest was made known many were inclined towards Gov. Bulkeley, but in the present exigency, as relating to the U. s. senate, the majority of the governors friends deem it wise that General Hawley should be his own successor. In any event, no dark horse 7 We do not know but what you arc in en- tire accord with us, and you may consider the matter and mode of expression of de- sire unseemly, but we are little apxieus that you should show our colors at the onset, for Joseph R. Hawley will be re- elected! "Mark the prediction!"
 The annual New Years parish par ty gathered at the Baptist parsonage on Monday evening. The attendance was large, crowding the pastors residence, and supper was served in the town hall adjoining from seven until nine o'clock After the supper tables and chairs were removed, and the young people, as well as some of the older ones, had merry time playing games until il o'clock. As usual, the voluntary offerings left on the supper tables, on this occasion $22. 50 were presented to the pastor. The gen eral attendance would have been larger had the reception been held in- the after noon as we'll as in the evening, according to the practice heretofore. But this seemed to be impracticable this year, the helpers and providers being somewhat limited in numbers. 1 Rev. c. H. Brown and D. c. Man ming drove across the country to Andovel to attend the Y. P. s: 0. P. union meet ing there last Saturday.
