ELLINGTON. Crystal Lake Correspondence.)


 We spent Christmas eve as the guest of H. 0. Aborn, and Christmas day with Oliver Hyde at Ellington Street.
 After over five weeks of very fruitful revival service in Ellington, the Christian Crusaders, Mrs. Barton and Mrs. Taylor, held their last meeting together on Sun- day evening, Mrs. Taylor going to Somere aud Mrs. Barton staying to assist the pastor for while. At the Sunday even- ing service (Dec. 3Oth,) the interest was intense. The large vestry of the church was filled with eager participants and lis teners, and many were added to the al ready large number who have "turned unto the Lord" It gave the writer great joy to see among them one young man from Crystal Lake. Years have passed since Ellington has rejoiced in such dis play of "amazing grace" We can but exclaim: ''See what work God has wrought in Jesus name!" Several men past middle age have sought Him. Many have been taught the right way and are walking in it in 8 new delight.

Mir. and Mrs. Gager have always lived in Coven- try, the homestead place being one hand ed down from generation to generation, the original deed locating it in the town of Windsor.

 Lyman Durkee, who died in Mansfield Dec. 25th, was born in Somers, Aug. 18th, 1846. His early life was spent in his na- tive town. He removed to Mansfield nearly twenty years ago, and was largely engaged in the grain and feed business, being proprietor of the mill in that town. He leaves wife and two children to mourn his loss, and will be greatly missed by his townspeople. His sickness, of four weeks, terminated very suddenly, but the summons found him ready; he having come out on the Lords side" during the recent revival in that town. Friends can comfort themselves with the assurance that he has passed from the shadows of earth to "the sunshine of the everlasting morning; to the gladness of the bright eternal home."
