According to the chapter on vital statistics the number of deaths of ministers last year was 9s, the average age being about 6s1s years. Three of them were over 90 and seven- teen between 81 and 90. It is inter- esting to note that of the sS, 3s had not received a collegiate education and s7 had not been through theological seminary. Seventy.flve of them were without charge" The Congregational denomination is one of the few that re- ports separately the men and women in church membership. The number of women is 373.444 and of men 1SS, ,1S7. This is nearly two to one and the same proportion has obtained from the be- ginning of the. statistics. It appears that the practice of baptising infants Is not dying out. The number baptized last year was 11,475, which is an in- crease of considerably more than 1000 over the number reported for 1892. It Is, indeed, the largest number ever re- ported in one year, excepting 1887.

BOYS FOUND 4 PANTHER.
Mysterioas Wild Animal Seen Near st.
 Mary's Cemetery.

Mysterious Wild Animal Seen Near St. Msry's Cemetery. Windsor Locks, July 16.-Last Satur. day two boys, one of them named Leon sadler, went out berrying in the plains, tract of land near the cemetery. While gathering berries there they saw great tawny animal crouching in the brush. Its eyes were large and gleam- ing. Its tail was waving from side to side. One of the boys said the animal had spots on it; the other didn't notice.
 As matter of fact, the boys didn' t finger long in that locality. They felt no desire to study natural history from nature at just that time. The animal, too, did not seem of curious disposi- ton. He evidently cared very little for human society. The tawny-colored beast gave growl and went bounding of in one direction while the boys fled in the other.
 With many a backward glance the boys ran until they reached the village. Young Sadler told the story to his fath- CT, Thomas Sadler, and he immediately decided to hunt for the animal. MT. Sadler possesses no gun and he started out among his neighbors trying to bor- row one.
 Meantime the news of the discovery of the animal had been noised about town. Others came forward and said they, too, had seen the animal. Among them was Luther Lawless. From the descriptions furnished all agreed that the beast was panther.
 It was recollected that some kind of an animal had been roaming at large about Poquonnock of late, robbing hem neries and frightening women and chil- dren. The conclusion was reached that the animal seen by the boys was the one of Poquonnock fame.
 Then some one remembered that few months ago there was great excite ment at Westfield, Mass, not very far from Windsor Locks, over the escape of a panther from travelling menagerie. The proprietors of the menagerie made an effort to capture the beast but did not succeed.
 So it became practically settled in the minds of, all reasonable men that the animal seen by the Windsor Locks youths, Luther Lawless and others, was the panther that escaped from the show at Westfeld. ..
 A hunt was organized and several sportsmen have been looking for the game. but as yet he has not been bagged.

FROM NATHAN HALE HOMEsEEAD.

An Elaborately Carved. Mahogany Chair
 Owned by Hartford Family.
 Few souvenirs of Nathan Hale, the martyr spy and patriot par excellence of the revolution, exist to-day. There is no portrait of him and sculptors have been compelled. to make ideal portrait statues of him. In the absence of any direct relic or souvenir of Hale himself, anything that was associated with him becomes interesting.
 At E.G. Hart's, No. 9S Edwards street, Hartford, there is an elegant old-style mahogany chair, with very gracefully and elaborately-carved back, that came from the home of Nathan Hale.
 The grandparents of Mrs. Hart, who is daughter of Judge David s. Cal houn, were residents of Coventry, and on her mothers side Mrs. Hart is de- seconded from Hale's sister, Mrs. Rose That is why she now happens to possess this fine old chair-into which Hale may often have climbed in his childhood, It is elegant enough to be . modern parlor chair It's original old leather seat 1t still has, but this has been coyered oyer 1ith.modernrssphalshxtan -~J

At Northrup's the line leaves the highway and ex- tends over the company's own right of way along the meadows and across Oyster river. The route is then paral- Tel with the Merwin's point road and through the property of Mrs. Swift, MT. Clark, MT. Fulton, Mrs. Donnelly and MT. Usher. Most of the route is over the property purchased by. the railroad company.
 It was expected that the line would run to Merwin's point, but the ter minus is at g. point about 600 feet this side of the Chapel road. Stephen Usher gave all of his land over which the road runs, and he has cut a street from the Chapel road down to the ter minus of the line to accommodate pat fons who wish to go to the shore. It was expected that William Merwin would open up route over his land to the the shore, but one of the officers of the company said yesterday that he would hot allow the line to run in . straight line, but to make two. bad curves in 8 distance of 600' feet and that he wanted $500 for this right of way. The company would not build such a line and so decided not to run to the shore. At the present terminus the company has temporary station. The line Is well built and the road bed Is first class.
