in anticipation of this event. At s o'clock the services were begun, by the administration of the sacrament of con- firmation to class of more than 100. The white dresses of 50 girls, with their long white veils, made an imposing sight aud pretty picture. Bishop Tier ney of Hartford appeared in his ponti- tical robes and participated in the sery1- ces and gave an excellent address, which concluded the services of the morning.
 The ceremonies of laying the corner stone began shortly after 3 o'clock, and despite the rain that fell almost without cessation the grounds surrounding the church were black with spectators. The procession was led by Father Fitzgerald of New Britain, who was cross bearer. On arriving at the church, the band and the confirmed girls were given places of honor on the porch of the handsomely decorated rectory, and beneath an avn ing, which had been erected on the lawn. The storm interrupted the sermon by Dr Maher. When the rain had again clear ed. Father O'Brien of Bridgeport went among the people taking the corner stone offering, which was found to be of excellent proportions. The new church will be of granite and buff brick, artisti- cally used in combination. No pains or expense will be spared to make the ex- terior correspond with the general de- sign of the building, and carry out the plans of the architect. They hope ser vices may be held in the building by Thanksgiving day. Father Thomas Coleman has been pastor since 1883.

RENOVATING NEGLECTED CEMETERIES.
 k. D. Scofield and assistant are again engaged in the good work of renovating the neglected and moss covered stones in our cemeteries. The example of those who think enough of the departed ones to care for their memorials seems to have exerted a salutary influence and quite a number are having stones lighted up and nicely cleaned. We understand that MI Scofeld will soon visit Newtown to do some of his efficient work there. We be- speak for him a liberal patronage and cordially recommend him as a first class workman.
 The 'Glorious Fourth" though not celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in NewtoWn, was not allowed to pass without some display of patriotism. There was general display of bunting and the usual display of fireworks in the evening at private houses. A more gen. eral observance of the day in our coun- try towns would not be without good influence in inspiring our youth with a more patriotic devotion to our country.
 On Thursday our community was shocked by the intelligence that Mrs Ed gar Giles had been stricken with paraly- sis. At first it was feared that the at- tack might prove fatal and her children were summoned by telegram to her bed side, but happily at the present time she is much better and there are strong hopes of h3r recovery.

A hundred years ago and more Presi- dent George Washington discerned the events ahead. In a letter written De- cember 26, 1786, to Gen Henry Knox, he says: "There are combustibles in every state which spark might set fire to. We ought not, therefore, to sleep nor to slumber. Vigilance in watching and viz or in acting is become, in my opinion, in- dispensably necessary" This word of caution is very timely to-day.

INDUCED in another OF those dramatic
surprises which he is continually

Instead of reverting to the events Of

"NoW, Hussey, have you just threat

cared for and not himself. With an
intimation that be would look into the
matter, Mr.. Golf alIo wed the wines to

One other event of unusual interest
occurred. Annie Tryy7sch. young
