AN AFFIRMATION

Our Sunday school has asked me to make an explanation to an item which appeared in your paper in reference to the session of the Sunday school not being held on May 20, on account of the storm. There were about 30 present and the lesson was taught, but at first no account of average or collection was made. Later the credit of both was given to that Sunday. School was held, lesson taught, credit given. This will be the case here afterwards, no matter what the conditions of weather.- Rev H. c. Whitney, Nichols, June 4, lSa4.

OXFORD.

AN INTERESTING REMINIsCENCE.
 Ebenezer Riggs was representative from Oxford when the subject of dispos- ing of the proceeds of the sale of the Western Reserve in Ohio was before the assembly. It was proposed to make it perpetual fund for the support of the then dominant church or sect in the state at that time. MT Riggs upon his return home gave the following report of the event. The proposition to appropriate money as above had already passed one branch of the Legislature when Ephraim Kirby, member from Litchfield, hear ing at his home of the situation, mount ed his horse and rode all night, reaching Hartford in time to plead for common school fund. MT Kirby was but plain mechanic, a blacksmith by trade. His earnestness was evinced by his removing his coat and speaking in his shirt sleeves and so effective was his pleading that there were very few dry eyes in the house. Our glorious school fund in Con- necticut is monument to his eloquence and patriotism.

But it would seem no bones were broken, as she was about the house on Saturday. What saved her from being severely hurt none can tell, as the wagon is very heavy one, and was half loaded with wood
