 The pouring rain of Sunday morning was cause for thankfulness, but it was also 3 cause of disappointment to many who were detained thereby from attend ing service at the Congl church and lis- tening to Rev w. Andrews who occu- pied the pulpit. Those who did brave the storm were more than paid. To look upon his erect form and stately carriage. to note his energetic move ments and clear, strong voice it was diff fcult to realize the fact that sixty years ago, May 21st 1884, was the date of his ordination to preach in the old Cong'l church here. He mentioned the names of the ministers who were present on that occasion-all long since passed away. He gave a brief sketch of his | personal history from the time of his graduation at Yale-his first ministry at Norfolk, Conn.,, then at New Hart ford; the call and his acceptance to be- come pastor of this church, and his pleasant relations with its people during the fifteen years of his pastorate among them. Coming back, on this sixtieth anniversary, he finds here the same picturesque valley, looks upon the same rocky mountain peaks and green hill sides, the same river flowing and dash ing ever onward, but all else, how changed. Nearly two generations have come and gone; children grown to gray haired men and women; few familiar faces left, yet the church with it's past memories and present and future inter- ests, will ever be dear to him. He spoke for more than an hour, but his listeners took no note of time. In the evening Rev pr B. G. Northrop, who formerly belonged in Kent and who is we'll known through this and other states as public speaker, preached a scholarly sermon on the theme of Christ in the World.

Triple Pillar Saw Frame.

Among the recent mechanical con structions of note is triple pillar saw frame, conveniently designed to occupy a space not much wider than an ordina- " vertical log frame. In carrying out this plan the cross girder. which carries the saw frame and the crank shaft bear ings, is in one piece. the whole being supported on three turned pillars, on which by means of screws connected by suitable gearing they are raised and lowered together. In order to limit the distance between the pillars as much as possible, the connecting rod is attached to the saw frame that is farthest from the crank shaft. There is bell crank and fywheel at each end of the crank shaft, which enable the machine to work steadily at high speeds without excessive vibration.-NewY York Sun.

Count p,orsay and Lady Holland.

A story going the rounds is one told of the famous Count d'Orsay. On the oe- casion of his first visit to England, while he was very young, very handsome and not easily disconcerted, he chanced to be seated at dinner next to the brilliant and singular Lady Holland.
 That remarkable and many sided wo- man was in, as it happened, one of her imperious humors, and her young neigh bor soon felt its weight. She dropped her napkin. The count picked it up gal lantly. Then her fan, then her fork, then her glass, and as often her neighbor stopped and restored the lost article. At last, however, the patience of the youth gave way, and on her dropping her nap kin again he turned and called one of the footmen behind him. Put my plate on the floor," said he. "I will finish my dinner there. It will be so much more convenient to my Lady Holland. "-New York Times.

An old Family.


 Several years ago there was an old family in Pennsylvania named Roth. Indeed the long line of Roths was about all the family had to show by way of distinction, and so much did they make of the long branches of the family tree and the Niagara of blue blood that had in centuries past coursed through their veins that people of the more recent gen erations really began to think these Roths were of some account.
 One evening there happened to be a party in the little town of NJ, and beside the great Roth family the guests numbered among others young Dr. Sharp. He was popular and rising physician and considered by matchmak- ing mammas particularly desirable catch.
 Mrs. Roth had four marriageable daughters, so at the first favorable op- portunity she cornered the young doctor and sought to impress upon him the i'm portance of her wonderful family.
 "Why, doctor" she said, i've all came over on the Mayfiower, so l know you will not think me bold in asserting that the Roths are really one of the first fam flies"
 Pardon me-" replied the young phy- sician, "but have no hesitation in say ing that your family enjoys even great CT distinction"
 "Oh, doctor" gushed the old woman, giving herself a congratulatory hug on her coming triumph. Indeed you flat | ter us"
 "Not at all," he replied, "for know you are the first family"
 "Who told you that, dear doctorS"

Growth of the Human Heart.

Dr. Benecke of Marburg has made known his observations on the growth of the human heart, the fact appearing that the increase is greatest and most rapid during the first and second years of life, its bulk at the end of the second year being exactly double what it origin ally was. Between the second and seventh years it is again doubled in size. A slower rate of growth then sets in and continues during the period of maturity of other portions of the body. After the fifteenth year up to the fiftieth the an. nual growth of the heart is about .061 of a cubic. inch, the increase ceasing about the fiftieth year.-Leisure Moments.
