LAST SERVICE IN THE OLD CHURCH.

LAST SERVICE IN THE OLD CHURCH.
 The last sermon or discourse in the old church was given by the pastor, from the text, ,Eccls 7 10, "Say not thou. what is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this," last Sunday, the 22d, in which MT Hubbard, gave us a carefully collated and very interesting statement of facts and "reminiscences connected with the First Ecclesiastical society and the especially the various edifices erected, from the first open shed of logs, with it's thatch of hemlock boughs, to the present one, which has been in use over 62 years, and on which the builders have begun this morning to rebuild and modernize. The fact was also stated, that the mem- bership of the church, compared to the population of the town, is larger than at any time in the history of the same, all of which is an indisputable evidence that the church does not share in the decay that has affected many interests, public and private, of this inland hill town, or caused them to go elsewhere. The allu- sion to the various marriages solemnized in the present building, and soldiers funerals and other services during the war of the rebellion, all made the dis course very interesting to all, and in- structive to most of us. Mrs Lester sang fine solo, ssWhat gathering of the faithful that will be-" All of which made up very instructive, interesting and enjoyable morning service, not, how ever, without it's strains of sadness to many.

KENT.
NEVER MIND THE KICKERs

Russell Eaton has been convinced of the advantages of the new sewer and abandoned his former drainage system, as every one else in the village ought to do. Cess pools are we'll enough when never can compare with a good sewer. It is certain Kent is now specially favor ed both in it's water supply and drainage facilities. Now let us have the gutters paved with cobble stones and the streets drained of the surface water also by means of the sewer. Never mind the kickers, there always will be these this side of Heaven.

 Sunday morning the pastor, Rev Robert Pegrum. preached from Acts 12:10, ssThey came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of it's own accord.' He showed that faith and prayer secured the desired result, Peters liberty; and that the prison gate, although apparently auto matic, was in reality moved by Divine power. In the evening, Mrs Pegrum, as the delegate from the local Y. F. s. c. E., gave her report of the Cleveland convention. It was attentively listened to by large audience. Several of the Convention hymns were sung by choir consisting of the Waterbury delegates.

Faster than usual, Mr.. Flint, as If to
keep up with Rachels, drank his toddy.
When he had finished, looking at, the
tumbler sorrowfully, and turning it
slanting as if to find if another drop
might not be within it, he said;

The Idlotic Stare, the Walking Stick
Evening Tie and NonchaIaLce.
1t is said on excellent authority that
the idiotic stare is still in favor among
the exotic youth Of swelldom, and any
fashionable young man who cannot
learn how to abstract every atom of
expression from the countenance and
look on vacancy with an expression of
imbecility cannot belong to the select
coterie or hold rank in the inner cir
cles
There are other important matters
which must be carefully committed if
one desires to be In the van of fashion,
says the New York Sun. The first of
these relates to the walking stick, and
this involves perhaps the most serious
responsibility. For the stick must be
left at home when going to business,
to church, or to make calls. The rea-
son Of the latter bylaw is that in the
language of the stick to call upon
young lady while carrying cane i'm
plies that the caller is on sufficiently
intimate terms TO look in on her
casually any time. What finer sub
tlety than this is to be found in the in
tricacies Of feminine etiquette.
Then there is fixed and immutable
law governing the carrying Of the cane.
The correct style Is to hold it at an
angle Of forty-five degrees, with the
ferrule uppermost and forward. OF
course, this Is the sort of thing no man
could possibly discover for himself, for
the unsophisticated would naturally
carry his stick with the point to the
ground and In 30 doing stand revealed
as uninitiated in the supreme refine
ment Of etiquette.
No man with particle Of self-re-
spect would wear q made-up evening
tie, and as some men find 1t quite i'm
possible to learn to tie the bow them
selves there has sprung up new in
dustry for women. A young woman
In London has taken up the unique
calling of going about from house to
house tying the neckgear of distraught
bachelors who cannot do it for them
selves. The custom will probably be
introduced on this side along with the
other English quirks. Let no man in
his conceit assume that when Pandora
opened her casket women monopolized
all the vanity.
Besides 1t isn't good form to be SO
critical. A nonchslant benevolence,
superior and patronizing, is the latest
mode, and 1t is not good form to be
;austic or pessimistic any more.
