CHRIST CHURCH AFFAIRS.

Saturday afternoon, Bishop Williams confirmed 10 persons in St Paul's church. The bi~hop's sermon on ''The lessons for the present time," drawn from the his tory of Naaman the Syrian, was full of telling points, especially the remark that the Congress of Religions, was like the ancient Babel, the one a confusion of tongues, the other a confusion of ideas. It was listened to by the large congre- gation present with evidently interested attention, and it is hoped with profit. The entire service was unusually solemn and impressive. On Sunday, the Iector preached sermon adapted and ad- dressed to those who on that day received their first communion.
 The Sunday school of St Paul's expect to enjoy picnic, Saturday, September 16.

 A little incident concerning Isaac Patchen, who was one of the best car penters in this section, and who is now quietly l,assing his declining years in this place, will not be amiss. MT Patch en, while working on Redding church, performed feat tha0 few men would dare attempt and one that fewer still could attempt and live. When the stee- pie was nearly finished, and just before the last piece that tapers to point was placed in position, MT Patchen climbed up and swinging his body up in the air surprised and mortified his fellow work men by calmly standing upon his head upon the small level place where the last piece was to be fitted. He remained in this unique position for about 10 min utes, occasionally clapping his feet to- gether, as though challenging the others to do the same if they dared.

DANIEL N. MORGAN,

the present treasurer of the United States, was we'll known here as a boy and a young man. His father, Ezra Morgan, ran store at Morgan's Four Cor ners, where I. B. Goodsell now lives, and like most other general store keepers, he sold liquor there. This he was strong ly opposed to but as his father consider ed it all right and thoroughly legitimate his opposition amounted to very little of course. By and by, however, when Ezra was older and felt the weight of years more, he gave up the business to his son. After he became proprietor the first move he made was to sling out the liquor, every drop of it, in barrels, kegs, bottles, no matter what it was in, or what it would have sold for, it made no difference, but all, the finest fermented and the fieriest distilled, mingled sOcia- bly, together as they meandered gently down the gutter beside the road and found themselves eagerly absorbed by the thirsty earth. He used to be lead- ing figure in the debating society which existed here about 1862. Some other members of the society who afterwards came to occupy prominent positions were the late Johnson T. Platt Ca broth CT of Theron E. PIatt, the agricultural writer and largest potato grower in the world), who became judge in New Haven court, Beach Hill and Park Hill, who are now principals of large schools, and John Booth, who now occupies a prominent position with Hartford in- surance company.
 The topic of one debate, which excited considerable interest, was, "Which has the greatest influence ~on society, the male or female sex?'' The material at the command of the writer does not tell whether the question was decided in the affirmative or negative. It Would make good topic for debating society to-day and would doubtless call forth many in- teresting remarks on the subject. The schoolhouse in those days used to stand

 illustrating the methods used to main- tam discipline. At this schoolhouse one school master, to punish a girl for some act violating the rules of the schools, tied her by the hair of her head to a staples driven high in the wall in such a manner that she just barely barely stood on tip-toe. Such was the barbarous way of maintaining order in those hslcyon days. What would be the result if a teacher should resort to such methods nowadays?
 A new schoolhouse was built about 1925 near where it stands now a 1d in 1862 it was moved to the site it now oc- cupies. Ralph Benedict bought the shop in which George Warehouse made buttons and carried on his trade of blacksmith and wagon making there. He sold out to Hosea Crandall, who shortly after sold out to Homer Pratt, father of Henry Pratt, who now lives here. MT Pratt went into the manufac- ture of vegetable ivory buttons.
 Hattertown has reputation for being one of the healthiest places in New Eng land and inasmuch as several worthy citizens raised what might be termed sizable families, consisting of from 10 to 15 children each, with scarcely any sick ness worth mentioning, we should infer, naturally, that it must be so. Albert Edwards raised the largest family, hav- ing 15' children. Nathaniel Briscoe had 14, Gideon Peck had II and David Still son had nine. Most of the children forming these large families lived to be men and women and the number of "black sheep" among them is said to have formed very small per cent of the whole number.
 Hattertown was at it's best from 1922 to 1882, these 10 years being
