 How much the substitution of one or two letters change the meaning of one word and some times of an entire sen tence and paragraph. In our cores pondence for THE BEE last week we meant to write the word unexcelled plain enough that the ssdeviln might not make 2 mistake in the setting up of the type, but when 1t appeared in print it read unexcellent. When one is de scribirg the Thanksgiving supper of a neighbOr and friend it ls necessary that words should be apelled correctly.

WILD CATS n. THE MOUNTAINS.


 Aparty of hunters, among whom were Es '. Duck, William Wakeman, James LyOns and others, searched the foot hills of Mt Algo on Saturday last for the var mints that had been devastating the chicken c00ps in that vicinity for some time past. with the result of unearthing, or moro literally, treeiDg, two fierce wild eats and although but kittens in age they were large enough. weighing about eight or 10 pounds each, to do considerable gmoupt of damage among poultry. It is thought that the old cats may be near by and other parties have hunted for them but go far unsuccessfully.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.

Rev MT Carer gave very pungenf discourse on truth speaking, acting and the greatest thing in the universe of matter and mind to be sought after. The truth seeker is the one who finds and is blest. Other prizes may be worth ob- taiBing, but this excels them all, f1r God is truth.
 The prayer meeting topic for this week is entitled, HThe Gospel and Social Die tinctions.'' The questions arise what are social distinctions, and upon whar are they based? With God there is nc respect of persons. Where do men gef their authority for the fictitious differ ences which obtain in modern society :? These can never promote piety, but do increase hypocrisy and duncharitableness.

WINTER UPON US.

Winter is upon us here on the hills. though the thermometer has not regis- tered but 20 degrees below freezing, or 12 degrees above the cipher. Thomp- sons voice rings out with no uncertain sound when he says
 "See, winter comes to rule the varied year Sullen and sad with all his rising train; VapOrs and clouds and storm"
 His idea is, however, more England than American, yet we accept ir, with variations and thank his stars for con. ceiviDg the thought in his brain and ex- pressing in beautiful language. The ground is solid, with 8 little sprinkling of snow. The wheels of Iteams going by rumble as if on pavement, and wheB lightly loaded go swiftly by. Fur caps and mufflers have come forth from their hiding place.
 WHAT OF WINTER READING?
 MT Lincoin in 1864 told Judge Harrie that he never read an entire novel in his life. ''Is it possible, , said Judge liar ris! "Yes," returnd Mir Lincoln, '.It ie fact. once began Ivanhoe, but never finished it." He was a great reader, however, of Shakespeare, and he read also the Book of Books. The writer is reading Prayer as a Theory and 8 Fact" by pr Faunce. We have mort to do with God than with all the world beside-more in one short hour. Dr Faunce's chapter on ssNegative answers to prayer" is interesting and sngges- tive. God assures by 'sNo' and Yes.' He alludes to the case of President Garfield. He answered Elijah when un- der the juniper tree with ssNo.'
 THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
 Four of our young ladies have begun teaching for the winter, Miss Brown in North street, Miss Fannie Humphrey in South East Cornwall, Miss Agnes Strong in College Farms and Miss Laura Pat- terson in Christian street, Washington. Two of ours young people are at the Gunnery, Eben Strong and Miss Julia Angevine.
 MT Young is picking up as fast as he can.
 Mrs Sturtevant, who had pull back, is comfortable.
 MT Anderson is still holding on the shreds of life, little by little yielding to the inevitable. We all of us follow on.
 Mrs Parmale is better.
 Merchant Comstock has fine line or blankets and gloves, which he is pleased to have prospective purchasers inspect.

NEW STATION AGENT AT RoxBURY. Charles Hodge, for the past 10 yeare the popular agent for the Shepaug road at this station, retired from the position on December l, and was succeeded by Joseph Veteran, who has been employed in the LitchfieId office. MT Hodge and bis father, Col Hodge. have been in charge at the station here since the open ing of the road, and their friends, who are legion, will dislike to have them step out. MT Hodge resigns to give more time to the business of A. l..

FIRE PROTECTION FOR THE DEPOT vIL-
 LACE.
 The hand fire engine, ssThe Fire King, ' purchased by Maj Kingman, arrived some weeks since and has been placed in the house, . building 20x15, which he erected for it's reception. This engine was formerly used In West Srratf0rd and came into the possession of the city of Bridgeport, when West Stratford was annexed to the Park City. Maj King. man purchsed the engine himself. The engine will throw an inch stream, re. quiring several men to work 1t. A hose cart, which will carry 1000 feet of hose, is also . part of the equipment. Maj kingman has placed 8 cannon in the en zine house, which will be used as sig. nal gun. A fire company will be organ ized at once, and the village of Washing ton Depot will not longer be without protection. To Maj Kingman's generosi- ty and public spiriG Is due what already has been accomplished. The engine house will be utilized az a reading room through the winter. Henry Fulois has donated handsome lamp and Mrs Fulois table.

One of Lncoln's Answers.

Speaking in recent speech of GER
tain Washington experiences in Lin
coins time, Mr.. Depew said: 'While 1
was there M. John Ganson, of Buffalo,
was q member Of congress. His face
and his head were hairless and polished
like billiard ball. He was a demo-
crat, but supported the president. The
conditions OF the army were very blue
in the east and in the west. Ganson
came in one day and said: Mr.. Presi-
dent, I am risking my reelection in sup
porting your wataneasures. The cam
paign seems very unsatisfactory. OF
course I will not give out anything you
tell me. What is the situation at the
front?' Mr. Lincoln, in his searching
and sad way, looked at him for mo-
ment as if he were about to reveal the
secret of the whole army, and then
tumbled Ganson out of the reception
room by saving: 'Ganson, how clean
you shave"

The First Metal.

Gold, because it was found pure and
fairly tractable, was probably the first
metal used by man. Copper, it is true,
is found as metal, but only in one
comparatively restricted locality. De-
casionally gold fish hooks have been
discovered in graves in New Granada.
In mining a tunnel in Cauca gold
hook was found in 1882 fifty feet under
the surface of the ground and beneath
what must have the bed of a river.
Copper fish hooks have been found in
many of the ancient burial mounds OF
Peru.
