DEATH OF MISS EMMA MILLER

DEATH OF MISS EMMA MILLER.
 Miss Emma Miller, after three weeks sickness and suffering with Bright's dis ease, died at a. m., Friday, being but 2l years of age. A grieved and heart broken mother is mourning her loss. She was passionately fond of flowers and had expressed desire to be covered with them after her death. Her many friends made every effort to fulfill her wish, and the profusion of flowers was beautiful sight, so finely arranged in many different pieces.

THE POPULAR DEWS HOUs

THE POPULAR DEWS HOUSE.
 The season is now fully opened at the Dews house, the celebrated pleasure re- sort at Quassapaug lake. Edwin Dews, the proprietor, has left no stone unturn- ed to make it one of the very best places of the kind in the state. Having, as he has, the largest grove on the lake, he has perfect facilities for the accommoda- tion of any number of picnics at the same time, and, too, without inconven- fence to any. A dozen picnics could cas- fly be held at one time in the extensive groves of the Dews house and yet all be entirely separated. The beautiful little steamer. the Minerva, is fast and noiseless boat and will accommodate d large number of passengers. This is the first summer of the steamer on the lake, Mir Dews putting it on this season to make more perfect the facilities demand ed by his rapidly growing business Row boats are plentiful. MT Dews is now ready to receive parties of all kinds and he proposes to cater to them in the best possible manner. Get his terms for that proposed picnic of yours.

To the Editor of THE NEwTOwN BEE: It is seldom that l notice newspaper ref erences of a personal nature. But when your Woodbury correspondent departs so far from the truth as to connect my name with young lady of this place in mat rimonial way, l demand a retraction. The article was positively false. Perhaps not malciously so, but nevertheless false in every particular; l had supposed it was correspondents duty when writing an item of a personal nature that it should have a shadow of truth in it.-[ Edward Cowles, Woodbury, Ct., June ,, '94.

MEMORIAI. 0RSERv NCES

MEMORIAL OBSERvANCES.
 On Sunday, May 27, the Episcopal and Congregational churches held a union service in the Congregational church. The service began at p. m., and in the main was the Memorial Sunday service published by the CopgregationIst. The singing was by the united choirs of the two churches and was very good. Miss Mansfield sang solo with her usual ability, which was greatly appreciated by all. The address of the day was by the Rev B. M. Wright, pastor of the church, and in substance was as follows: ''I came not to send peace but a sword" Matt 10 :34. Universal warfare was the plague of antiquity and it's horrors oan- not be painted too wildly. But the song of the angels standing over Bethlehem promised a new era of peace and good will. How strange then to hear Christ saying II came not to send peace but a sword" This however not the end of his coming; that is peace, peace to the in- dividual soul, peace to the nations of the earth, but peace thro' struggle, con- f1ict. If one would enter the strait gate he must strive. The sword is the means to the blessed end. So long as robbery, oppression and hatred are in the world there can be no peace for the soldiers of Him who came to destroy the works of the deVll. The movement or the Christian centuries has been toward truer concep- tion of the value of the individual based on the universal brotherhood of man. I Our nation was called into being to es- tablish and illustrate this principle. I Staying gave the lie to the Declaration of Independence. Until it was abolished
 God gave the nation no peace. When human equality could be secured in no other way He unsheathed the sword and
 let loose the dogs of war. It was terri
 ble conflict, but looking at the present and rack into the past who will not say
 ''It was worth all it cost" Yes we have
 liberty in our beloved land, we have the
 equality of all men Before the law, we
 have the rule of the common people | But this means not only liberty. Ii 1 means responsibility and so long as cor ruption and lawlessness go unhindereC f and unrebuked by us we are responsible
 Remember Christ came not to send peace | but sword,
