METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

The yearly report of the secretary and treasurer of the Methodist Sunday school, which was read to the school re- gently, makes good showing for the past year. There are at present 10 members, including officers and teach CTS, and there has been an average at tendence of a fraction over 23. Three scholars were absent only once and two only three times. The financial showing is equally good. The total collection for the year was $33.41, being an aver age of 6 2,53 cents Sunday, there be- ing B Sundays in the year. The largest single collection was $l.G5, and the larg- est monthly collection, $4.03. The above is an unusually good showing in consid- eration of the fact that three years ago the school consisted of only very few who attended occasionally. It is due in a great measure to the united labors of the superintendent, Henry Barney, as sisted at the organ by his daughter, Miss Nellie, and as a teacher, by his wife The word of the pastor, Rev J. Nelson to be of good courage in moments o+ discouragement, has also been of grea value.

A BARN BURNED.


 Frank Stoughton's home barn, with it's contents, was consumed by fire, Tuesday evening about 6.30. The barn was large one, to which was attached wag- on and tool house. The stock was gotten out with difficulty, and three cows were considerably burned. When the fire was first discovered it was under full head way and very little of the valuable con- tents could be rescued. The barn was we'll filled with hay, oats and rye, and the tool house contained two moving machines, blows and general farming im- plements. Two large wagons, a spindle, horse blankets, robes, etc., were also consumed. It is heavy loss for MT Stoughton and his wife after several years of hard labor to see the fire con- sume so much. They have many sym pathizing friends in this time of sore trouble.

SUNDAY SCHOOL MATTERS.

In our small contribution of news, last | week, we gave the names of officers elected in the Sunday school, for the coming year, but only those of the su- perintendent and his assistant appeared
 in print. We concluded the mistake must be ours in calling the others, officers |. Webster gives this definition of the term
 used: "A person commissioned or au- thorized to perform any public duty" We think after out new librarian, Avery Vaill, has had charge of distributing books for year, or several years, he
 will be of the opinion that it is more pub- lie duty than personal pleasure. The re- tiring librarian, now assistant superin- tendent, wished to decline his office ,::say- ing he felt he had been out of the school long enough and would like now to en-
 ter class again. Mir Hubbard pleasant ly remarked that he wanted MT Wad- hams right there in his class; that as as
 sistant he would have nothing to do,
 only in the absence of the superintend-
 ent, and that as his wish could be grati-
 fled he bad no excuse for not accepting
 the office. Miss Alice H. Scoville as sec
 retary and treasurer, and Miss Alta C..
 Wadhams as organist, have served be-
 fore and have given faithful efficient
 service.

BLOCKADING THE ROAD.

The carelessness of some person or per- sons in leaving large branch of tree in
 the roadway by the Shepaug river, north of the H. Nichols place, nearly occasioned
 a serious accident. Two ladies were driving on the road, Saturday, and in turning corner, came suddenly upon the branch, oVerturning the wagon and throwing them violently to the ground. Fortunately they sustained but slight in- juries, and after much trouble and dan- ger succeeded in extricating the horse, which was also thrown to the ground and which, rot liking his novel position, kicked and plunged furiously. Strange to say, neither the horse or wagon was much damaged and the harness was dis entangled without the cutting of strap. It would seem that the above mentioned road is sufficiently narrow, without any obstruction being carelessly placed in it.

Some time ago fellow named JOS
eph Barnard Lynch, living on Chinoc-
league island, off the coast Of Delaware,
told the Ignorant colored and white peo-
pie there that he had received revela-
ton from an angel in heaven to organize
a new church to be called the Church of
the Sanctified People, and that in testi-
mony of his mission from heaven the an
gel had given him power to walk on the
water. This feat he accomplished to the
wonder of all who saw him, and, as
q consequence, many believed in him.
and his new church grew aud prospered.
His doings were much talked about, and
some of the unbelieving people of the
neighborhood went out in the night to
examine the place which he always chose
for his exhibition. They found board
walk laid about six inches beneath the
surface and extending out into the water
about one hundred feet. They quietly
removed couple of boards from the
middle of the walk and said nothing
about it, but kept close watch. A few
days afterward Lynch proceeded to give
another exhibition of bis powers. A large
crowd was present, and he walked bold
ly out into the water, but presently found
himself struggling in water over his
head. He managed to swim ashore,
when the crowd pounced upon him and
gave him a terrible beating, tore up his
concealed walk, and proceeded to burn
down his church. He has had to leave
the neighborhood.

gracefully on her right hand, the ell
bow which served for that hand being
supported by guard rail, and, con-
trary to the custom of pretty girls IN
general, looked really prettier when
asleep than when awake. But just as

pencil had begun to reduce it to pa,
