DEATH OF JOHN WARD.


 The death of John Ward on Saturday morning was great surprise to every one. It was generally known he had been out of health for over a year, but to be anything suddenly dangerous. It is thought the sudden death of his moth CT, with it's anxieties and depression, ag- gravated his difficulty. He was confined to his bed imme diately after her funeral, dying in three days. A post mortem ex- animation, under the charge of Dr Smith, showed the cause of his death to be en- largement and hardening of the liver. The funeral took place on Tuesday. Be- ing an Odd Fellow, the funeral was un- der their charge. He was buried in Lands End cemetery. Mir Ward was in the prime of manhood, a good business man, conducting his farm on business principles. He has spent his winters in packing tobacco, many times buying for packers. He will be greatly missed in his neighboIhood. He was married to Miss Brown of New Milford in Novem- Der, who is now quite sick with the grip, and his father also, who is quite infirm. The interment of the body of William Ruggles of Bridgewater at Laurel Hill took place on Sunday at p. m., under the charge of Rev MT Whitcome.

AN INTERESTING CONVENTION REPORT.

Thirty ladies came together last Tues of the Congregational church and were well repaid for their attendance by a very instructive and entertaining report given by Mrs Albert F. Pierce of the late convention of the Woman's Board of Missions at Portland, Me. Mrs Pierce is the wife of Rev Mir Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational church of Danbury, and she, with 21 other ladies from the New Haven branch of the Woman's Board recently formed pleasant excur- sion party to Portland. They report de- lightful weather, royal entertainment by the Portland people and the most inspir- ing and helpful of conventions. The in terest with which Mrs Pierce invested her report made large wave of the con vention's enthusiasm break over her audi tors and showed that she had been the right one to send.
 A few scattered thoughts only can be given. The New Haven branch showed the largest increase in the year of any of the auxiliaries. Members should be de- voted to Gods work, they must be ear- nest and instant in prayer. Nothing should be allowed to interfere with the day appointed for a meeting. To be a successful member, one must be an intel ligent member; and to gain this, one must keep informed. Many appear to think that information is supernaturally imparted from above. It comes only from careful, persistent reading. There
