Todd of East Berlin preached to line audience from the text, Job ii, chapter 1, 10th verse, What, shall we receive good of the Lord and shall we not receive evil" His object was to show that the two fold aspect of life, the mingling of prosperity and diversity, was the true and philosophic explanation of the highest development of character. It was a clear and thoughtful discourse and was followed with quiet attention from beginning to end. Rev.

THE SIGNAL CORPS.

Since the order was issued about a month ago, requiring the signal corps sections of the First, Second and Third regiments, c, N, G., to establish signal stations between Hartford and sthe camp ground at Mantle, and between New Haven and the Hartford Mantle line, the officers of the sections, after considerable accommodating have at last succeeded in finding sufficiently elevat- ed points for their purpose, and signals have been sent between the various stations selected, so that now 1t will be necessary only to have their men at the selected places early on the morning of Monday, August 1T, in order that the lines may be in operation at 10 a. m.
 The first section has stations in Hart ford, and on Great Hill, north of Co., bait. The Great Hill station connects with one of Lovers Leap, two miles north of Salem, operated by the fourth section, the Lovers Leap station con meeting with one on Durfey Hill, oppo- site the camp ground, where the home station, in charge of the fourth section is in easy reach,
 The Second sections home station connects with one on Mount Higby near Middletown, and this communi- cates on Lovers Leap, when the mes sages will be sent to camp. This makes chain of stations that will carry sig nals over almost every point in the state, and. it is thought would be o1 great service in the event of war. In going to and from the stations te operate the system, according to or ders, the men have met great trouble ir travelling on their wheels, as the roads in many places are very band and te reach some of them stations it is neces- sary to carry the wheels across toun, try,
