JUVENILE PREFERENCE WORK.

The second annual session of the Juvenile Temple Institute will be held May 24 and 9, in New Haven, in the Christian Temperance association hall, No. S5 Orange street, near corner of Chapel.
 The session will open at 9.30, Wednes- day morning, with consecration meet ing, led by G. H. Flint of Yale Universi- ty College, New Haven. Papers and addresses bearing upon the different phases of the work, will be presented by workers of experience and can but profit and inspire all who attend. A mass meeting will be held in the evening at the First Methodist church and address ed by Mrs G. A. Hewitt, c. s. J. T., of New York. She is pleasing and inter- esting speaker, giving her life to the work of training the children. Workers and delegates will be provided with entertainment and are requested to notify Mrs Julia Fields, Fl Washington Place, or Mrs c. P. Yale, 65 Humphrey street, on or before May 20
 ' ago for the purpose of stimulating and advancing juvenile temperance work throughout the state. It is generally conceded, that our only hope of success ful combat with the drink evil, is in the rising generation. We find many ready with their hearts to take up this work but refrain from doing so for lack o1 knowledge as to the best methods o1 teaching, etc. Realizing this need, we should endeavor to train workers fol this important work and we earnestly solicit the aid of all kindred societies.
 The work of educating the children k no longer an experiment, but necessity On this depends our success for the flu. ture. We ask the co-ODeration of al i Sunday school workers. Let us come God for wisdom and guidance, and gt out in His name to laugh at impossibili ties and cry, "It shall be done." As al institute, we are depending on Almighty God to solve this great question, anC we believe he has taken the child and SC him into the midst, and speaks with nc uncertain sound regarding our duty al to his welfare and to the nation.
 Shall we take the weapon God ha provided and bring to this country generation of total abstainers Whicl shall destroy the rum power forever, 0 shall we resort at last to the sword ant the cannon. These are facts, and th' training of the children can no longer b. ignored. There should an inquiry conn from every honest heart, "L0rd wha wilt thou have me to do.- z.

INSPECTING WASHINGTON BRIDGE.
 Saturday the committee of New Haven county and Senator Houlihan and Repre- sentatives Wells of Southport and Brophy of Ridgefield representing Fairfield ceun- ty, inspected the Washington bridge over the Housatonic river, between Stratford and Milford. The bridge, which is an old wooden one, was found in very bad condition. The timbers are rotten. The United States government has ordered a new draw placed in the center of the riv- CT, the present draw being at the east end of the bridge. The committees will probably report that new bridge is nec- essary and recommend the building of an iron structure. The party dined at George Smiths on Milford beach.

THE MAIL ROC TIE.

One of those mail agents was here last Hubbell to carry the mail from here to Bridgeport for four years, beginning July l, at the rate of $3O0 for annum or 95 1-2 cents per day. MT Potter, our present mail carrier, had the first cffer but would not take it at those figures, as it has been losing job for the last six months at $334. Mir Potter could not take it without more pay. MT Potter first began to carry the mail in July |, 1882, at the rate of slipper annum. Then there was wheel shop in full blast here and numerous families living here; now it is all changed. Families have moved away and none have come to take their places and besides there have been sever- al families broken up by death, so that at present there is very few people to patronize the stage. It is understood MT Potter will still continue to run his stage through the summer months when- ever and wherever the public want to be carried-Monroe, Shelton.
