The following letter received by New Haven business man from a correspondent in Northampton, Massachusetts, we'll shows what the shadow of free trade has helped to do for one community:
 In reply will say am just as anxious to send check as you are to receive it, end the only reason I haven't done 1t before Is that am hardly selling enough to pay my ex- penees. l have never seen anything like it. Oae year ego was selling from $50 to $75 day, this year from g to $1O, and Saturdays, which is, or was, our busy day, Instead of $75 and $100 last year, owing to storms and dull season the best one hasn't been $20. Our mills and shops are either closed or running half time at reduced wages For instance, the Nonatuok silk mills, 200 or 1, 400 hsnds, three days a week (short dsys) st reduced wagea; Beld- ings, about 4,000 hands, three fourths time, at 20 per cent reduction; Lsonard's, same as Nouatuck lock shops, 50 hands, closed; Machine and Oil Stove company, 300 hands, closed; emery wheels, 75 hands, closed; Prcket Book company, 50 hands, closed; Hemick's Machine company, 40 hands, now 9; other shops suffsriug like wise. l depend entirely on that class for my trade, so you can see after feeding they don's have much lett for fancy goods. No doubt but they will start up and things brighten soon, and will, the first chance I have, send you check, but my sales for January 27. 29, 30, 3l, owing to storms and dullness, didn't bring me mon. y enough to pay your bill and had to pay expenses out of that. I never saw @ time but what low price, if low enough, would sell the goods, but 1t isn't so now, for they haven't the money to buy.

St. Valentine,s Day.

Wednesday of next week will be St. Val entine's day, when all respectable and prop erly reared birds will select their mates for the purpose of bringing up families during the summer. It is also, as the Hartford Courant truthfully maintains, "the season when swains and damsels should indicate to one another that their fancies are turn ing lightly to thoughts of love with the coming of springtime. In days agons these fsnoies found expression in the send ing of sentimental messages, but it seems that valentines are falling into disfayor."
 According to New Haven authority at Pease & Sons. this city, New Haven is e city whore St. Valentine is still an honored saint, the sale of valentines being still matter of considerable trade importance and rot to be neglected in 6 commercial point of view, and the demands here being chiefly for more artistic and less gsudy missiYss than formerly.

one of the Little Things.

TO the Editor or the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Doubtless but few of the guests at a re- cent church wedding noticed the diminu- tive figure of an old woman who sat in the remote corner of one of the side psws. h. deed, she was quite overshado wed by the tall young ladies who were crowded into the seat beside her.
 There was nothing distinctive about her and she was not fashionably dressed; and she was 50 tiny that she might easily have been overlooked.
 But doubt if in all that large assembly there was prouder woman than was she. Even the bride herself could not have been happier or more complacent.
 There was something pathetic, to those of us who knew her, in the small bowed figure that held itself more erectly than usual.
 Pride enveloped her like garment; 1t perched itself among the ribbons of her best black bonnet; 1t lurked among the folds of her decent woolen shawl; 1t shone out from her serene blus eyes, and 1t smoothed out the finely-wrinkled, old face, until 1t glowed with placid content; for was she not-perhaps for the first time in her ife-one of the elected guestsi
 How carefully she had dressed herself for this grand occasion, And so fearful of being late had she been, that she arrived ct the church fully an hour before its doors were opened. Then how proudly had she displayed her invitation to the usher, telling him at the same time, in weak, quavering tones that she had been bidden to the wedding!
 She had known and served the groom when he was but lad, and, in @ sportive way, had extracted from him the promise of an invitation to his marriage when he | should arrive to mans estate. But, as the years rolled by. engrossed by the manifold cares of business career, he qnite forgot his childhood promise, and little knew how anxiously his humble friend was wait 1 ing for the expected summons, when she heard of his contemplated marriage. Quite incidentally, however, the bride heard of this, and with kindly considera- tion sent st once her wedding cards, add ing friendly message "to be sure and oome."
 1 It was dark day and the leaden clouds hung pall-like over the earth when the message came. A day of hard labor was before her; she had many such, for her life had been hard; and che had passed through many strange vioissitudes. Her Respondent spirits were in sympathy with the prevailing gloom.
 But instsntly all was changed; joy had entered her heart, and despite the lower. ing atmosphere which betokened the on. coming storm without, sunshine reigued within.
 For her the day was glorified. She broke into snatches of song; she even talked to herself, she was SO happy.
 And yet, this was such little thing to do.
 The bride, in her supreme happiness and content, did not resliEs how much sun. z line she was bringing into the life of one of the lowly ones, to whom kindly word or friendly smile may mean SO much. RACHEL ROGERs

There Is No Longer Any Fear
 By Those Who Know.
A Very Fortunate Discovery By
 A Lucky Man.

Mir. William F. Richards of 299 Lowell street, Lawrence, Mass, 8 well known man in that city, has for twenty-four years been great sufferer and all this time has been striving to find someone who could cure him, but until now his search has been in vain. He knows at last that he is in safe hands, and writes the following in- teresting letter:
 Nearly twenty-four years ago was taken with nervous prostration and was very sick, go sick that thought never should leave my bed. Slowly I regained strength, but only to have another attack a few years later. I partially recovered from this second attack, but was thoroughly used up and unfit for any hard work.
 "some five years ego, at the breakfast table, was taken with a dizzy spell and my hands an feet to my elbows and knees seemed numb, and the muscles had lost all their power.
 "For days was unable to move myself at all and had to be fed like child.

 HARTFORD, Feb. 5.-The following cir cular dated from New Haven, January 29, has been received by the Catholic clergy men in this city:
 Dear Sir-At meeting of priests held to-day at the residence of the Rev. P. Null holland, concerning a presentation to our right reverend bishop of a testimonial of the esteem and affection which the clergy of this diocese entertain for him, 1t was unanimously voted that suitable offering expressive of these feelings should be pre- sented to him on the day of his consecra- ton.
 Az the entertaining time is very short, and the earnest desire of all to carry out advisable to give this matter form ae soon as possible. For this reason 1t was voted that the Rev. P. Mulholland be appointed treasurer and the R=v. w. Stanley secretary. In addition the hope was expressed that, as on previous occs- sions of similar import. the rectors of the different parishes contributed $10O each and the assistants $50 and that all would aim to give ss far as their means would permit like sum for the present happy event. Yet 1t was, however, em- phstically expressed that each priest should be entirely free to determine for himself the amount of his offering. It was further voted that Revs. P. Mul- holland, P. v. Hartigan, o. P; J. H. Null cahy, W. Shanlsy and T. M. Crowley be appointed . committee to prepare and present to the right reverend bishop an address to set forth the purpose of this testimonial. It was decided that all dora- tions should be forwarded to the reverend treasurer on or before February 15 The names of the donor and the sums given will bs sent to each priest.
