A CHURCH CLUB ORGANIZED.


 Wednesday evening, January g, about 40 members of Christ church parish re- sponded to the call to meet and organize church club. At 8 o'clock bountiful supper was served, followed with choice havanas during the enjoyment of which, B. H. Mattoon called the meeting to order and in few we'll chosen remarks set forth the aim and objects of the meeting. MT Mattoon called on. Rev H. N. Cunning ham, who gave an outline of the duties which would devolve on the club. As subjects which might be discussed with a view to mutual improvement and instruc- tion he mentioned first, church history, being not necessarily, the history of the church in the United States, but since the founding of the christian church down through the dark ages, into the days of the immortal Luther, all through the ref ormation, the history of the church in England and in the colonies, and lastly with the Protestant Episcopal church in America, which differs only. from the Church of England in name and polity. Then might follow such great questions as socialism, the relation of capital and labor, and any of the great questions of the day which affected the church's wei fare. MT Cunningham further said that it would undoubtedly be the aim of the club to have some prominent speaker we'll versed on some subject which the club were discussing to address them from time to time. Chairman Mattoon then called on Rev K. D. Buckley of Trinity church. Waterbury, who spoke very ably and earnestly on the matter of church organizations, saying in part, They are. excellent instruments in the hands of the rector for the further spread ing of Christ's kingdom and of putting the church more in touch with the mass es. Yet we should not be carried away with the beauty of the surroundings nor with the perfect running of the maehin- cry but at all times and under all circum- stances to keep the eye fixed steadfastly on the face of Christ.c A. c. Northrop of Waterbury gave acarefully prepared account of the different church clubs in the United States. and of the work ac- complained and being done by them. MT Northrop paid high tribute to the Broth- erhood of St Andrew, after which the following gentlemen made brief rsmarke, Merritt Heminway, J. $. Scott, R. V. Magee and H. F. Davis. A committee was then appointed to draw up set of bylaws for future meeting. John l..

Curtis A. Titus, 57 years old, died in the house where he was born, Saturday morning, February 2, at a. m. He was the fifth child and second son of Stiles Titus who died when Curtis was little boy. He went soon after his fathers death to live with Russell W. Frisbie, until old enough to learn
 trade, when he left to go to work
 with Merritt and Peck Beach, join- CTS and carpenters. He worked with them for number of years. In the meantime he married, over 30 years ago, Eliza, daughter of William O'Dell, and began housekeeping in his mothers house. Continuing at his trade, he took the oversight of her farm and buying out the heirs with additions of other pieces adjoining, he became the proprie tor of snug little farm which he man. aged with gratifying success. For a dozen years past he had devoted himself to painting and wood finishing in the summer residences of the city people. In 1880 he was a member of the State Legislature. He rebuilt and improved his house, of which he was the occu- pant in the fourth generation, his only living child, Arthur, being occupant in the fifth generation and he is 24 years of age. MT Titus was very social and friendly in all his relations. an excellent neighbor and ready to assist in all public duties and Improvements. His eldest brother.

RoMFoRD AND VICINITY.

That these long winter evenings foster conviality is amply proved by the foot steps left on the whitened earth by those who travel when the night is old. One needs not the skill of a deer-slayer to see in their trails an evening spent where the bowl was quaffed. Even the unobservant child of civilization can see 1t, for there it is before him traced in the pure teli-tale snow with unmistakeabIe emphasis. Here with long tangential tack the wayfarer passes across the gut ter to the roadside wall where hemi- spherical depression denotes timely rest or an enforced cessation from labor. On regaining his feet, with . steadiness born of speed, he reaches tho road and

rHE LATE JOHN mo LouaHL1N.


 3 Last week there died in New Milford a man who has long been known here, ,es- pecially since the late Civil War. John Mclaughlin, whose age, although un- known, was placed at 7l. We think he was much older. MT Mclaughlin was born in Ireland, but came to this coun- try when he was a boy. When the Mexican war occurred he volunteered as private in U. s. troops and served faith fully till the close of the struggle. When the 18th Connecticut Regiment of Volunteers was raised in our late war, he again took his musket and went to the front and we have failed as yet to find a veteran who has ever spoken disparag- ingly of his services in performance of military duty. He was honorably dis charged in 1865, since which time ai- tefnately he has lived here and at the Soldiers Home at Togus, Me. For some years he has passed some months of each year st E. F. Brague's in this village. Last summer he spent in the family of Alfred Cable. His main fault has seemed to be but one. He wished to pass this winter in Brooklyn. He started when he received his last quar- terly pension check, for that city, but did not get further than New Milford. Being taken sick, 1t became necessary for him to be cared for there till his death. We regret that he died compara- lively among strangers and amidst cir cumstances not deserving to one who has served his country so well. Kind in disposition, generous of heart, willing and brave in dangers hour for the coun- try's veal, we are sorry no more re- apect was paid him than a very quiet burial, unknown to many here who would have attended.

MT J. O. Davenport, ex-mansger of the Fort Bragg Redwood Co, an immense institution st Fort Bragg, Cal, says they sell large quan- titles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at the company's store and that he has himself used this remedy for a severe cold and obtained immediate relief.

THE REGENT GLEE CLUB CONCERT.
 Anaudience of POO or more listened to the Glee Club concert, Friday evening, January IS. Many, no doubt, were pre- vented from attending by the storm, which began in the late afternoon. However, some $25 was netted from the receipts for the proposed singing school. The club sang in the main with precision and in excellent taste, the quality of tone. however, was impaired somewhat by the heated air of the room, fact that tended to depress the singers and affect the sound. The opening march, "Freedom, God and Right," for mixed voices, by Barnby, was rendered with power and appreciation and served to give confidence to the later and more Shallop," for male voices with soprano obligato, an old faverite, was well re- ceived. Two selections from MendeIs- sohn's unfinished opera of "Lorely," the first an Ave Maria with soprano obligato for women's voices, followed immediate ly by a rollicking Vintage song" for mems chorus, brought up striking con- trasts. The first part of the program ended with Caldicott's "House that Jack built," which received an encore. In lat CT numbers the skill of the ladies' voices was best shown perhaps, in Neidlin- gers "Rock-a-bye." ssForsaken,' Kos chat, was rendered with delicacy and appreciation. In the mixed choruses the club were at their best in Cowen's "Lady Bird" and in the closing number. the Bridal Chorus'' from the s'Rose Maiden" by the same composer. The lovely melodies and fine harmony of the first named was brought out with te H. ing effect,..and the stately grandeur and due expression and one that showed per- feet familiarity with the composition. The Glee Club in it's present make up numbers about 30 voices, fairly balanced. An unusual feature is in the fact that the sopranos are at present the weakest, as part, and the tenors and altos ex- ceptionally strong. Rubinstein's Mazur- ka, piano solo, by Walter Goldsmith and the two numbers for the violin. Ham defs Largo" and a "Gavotte" by Pa pini were beautifully executed and were decidedly some of the best of the even ing's work. Miss aingman's and MT Welles' solos were especially apprecia. tive. As whole the work of the club cOmDares very fayorahlv with thase nf past years. The measures, the balance of the parts.has already been referred to. Now and then faltering and uncertain ty was noticed, caused principiy by un. familiarity with the music, fault that can only be remedied by the practice ob- tained from regular attendance at re hearsals. However, the general result was excellent and the club should feel spurred on to new eudeavor. Following is list of the active members of the club:
