electrical attachments used in connec-
ton with the harness and horses of The
patrol wagon have made it possible for
the department to do as quick work win,

of the fire department. The horses are
50 well trained now that at the tan OF
the gong they jump forward and rfg5r
under the harness. which is fastened on

WARREN.
A NEW YEARS WISH.

We are really launched upon new year and there is ID going back on it. There is no reverse process to the cal endar engine. Nor is there any appara tus to retard the progress of it. It ever moves on and on and on. Nor does the engineer lubricate it's machinery, 15 times day as one engineer told me he did common locomotive. There has been no occasion for it "Since Adam dolve and Eve span.' We should make this year more useful than the last, since we have the last to help us. We hope this will be true of THE BEE.
 THE VIEWPOINT BEE, we truly see
 Has an acquired right to be
 Then may it be, better BEE
 For old and young, for you and me.
 Its principles are very sound
 Tbe right upholds, the world around
 It censures, strikes & blow at wrong
 Gives minor key in ev'ry song.
 Then BEE hold on and still hold out
 Nor tear Apolyan you will route
 Conquer you must, conquer you will
 The troublous waves of wrongibe still.

A LOCAL APIARIST.

Contractor Charles Fenn, as perhaps some know, is successful apia fist, and in good seasons disposes of some 1000 OF 1900 pounds of honey. This last year MT Fenn says was a poor season,it being wet at the critical time with the bees. AS it was he raised some 400 pounds of honey, but the quality was not equal to some seasons. This year he is wintering 28 hives. MT Fenn says he finds no trouble in marketing his crop, having regular customers in Ansonia, Woodbury, Derby and Litchfield. It is quite a trick to successfully care for the lively little workers, but MT Fenn has evidently learned their ways and the best methods of dealing with them.

AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

The annual meeting of the New Pres ton Village Ecclesiastical society was held at the church on Monday morning of last week. The board of. off ,ers for the year ensuing are the same as last year. The state of the society financial ly seems better than for several years. A small amount. is now In the treasury. About $300 is due for back rent of pews and the present debt of the society isi nothing. A donation of $50 was made from the treasury by vote, to Rev Evan Evans beyond his salary, as token of the appreciation felt by the society for the faithfulness of his labors here. The society we think can we'll do this, bs- cause MT Evans being an unmarried man. has not required the use of the parsonage and the society has during the past year rented the same for $1s0; besides the salary paid at present to the pastor is $100 less annually than that paid to several of his predecessors.
 Rev MT Evans favored us with New Years sermon lasttSunday morning from the text found in Ecclesiastes 7 8. A union meeting was held at the church on New Preston Hill in the evening. The Village church has taken the first steps by law. to become corporate body whereby they may receive all bequest' and be known as a body polite. Thi action has been brought about by be quest lately made to this church by th'
 will of Mrs Sarah Camp Selden, deceased of Branford. The amount of the beques
 is $500 and in order to receive it 8 du' conformity to the act of the Legislature 1 in regard to corpsrate bodies, seeme
