town clerk, town treasurer, justice of the peace and constable. He was q member of the legislature from Hunt. ingt0n from 1876 to 1878, and has always taken a great interest in the welfare of the public schools, having been 6 mem- Der of the board of school visitors for twenty years. He is now secretary of the town school committee. In 1885, without request on his part, he was ap- pointed a deputy sheriff of Fairfield county by Sheriff Swartz. He was later reappointed by Sheri1f Clarkson during his two terms of office, ard was court officer of the Superior and Common Pleas courts for both terms. Mir Wheel CT may well fell proud that during his ten years of official service no cause ever miscarried through error or neg Iect on his part.
 In the spring of 1893, for the third time, some of the prominent citizens of both parties started q move ment for the establishment of the post office in Shel- ton. MT Wheeler was requested to be- cone CduuIudL6 IOI pOeImdSIeE; duu after some hesitancy, agreed to consider the matter, but not until the following November did he consent to the use of his name. Notwithstanding the usual opposition the petition for an office was granted and MT Wheeler was appointed postmaster. The office was opened in April, 1891, and has shown a steady and healthy growth to the present time under his administration.-[Souvenir History of Derby and Shelton.

FAST SERVICE IN DAEBURY.
REV o. W. BARRIERS SERMON AT THE
 FIRST CHURCH.

The Fast Day service at the First church was largely attended, the body of the church being nearly full, with several persons in the galleries. The pastors of all the churches uniting in the service were present, except Dr Simmons, who is in New Haven attend ing conference. The choir sang three selections besides the hymns in which the congregation joined. The pastor of the First church presided at the service, the other pastors participating.
 The special feature of the service was the sermon by Rev Otis ". Barker, of Newtown. His text was Luke 3 B, "There they crucified Him." After speaking of the place of the crucifXion ; that scholars are not certain of it's pre- else location; that they probably never will know, and it does not matter any how, the speaker went on to describe the surroundings and the attendant cir cumstances. He took his hearers right to Jerusalem, and so Vividly depicted the scenes of that memorable day, that every one seemed to see the Savior go. ing from the Pr@torium, through Via Dolorosa, bearing His cross and endur' ing all the fearful suffering that fin ally led to the continuation, the crucifix' ion. The lessons of courage, of suffer ing love, and of the Savior's compassion were portrayed and enforced home upor the consciences of his audience.
 Mir Barker Las been over the ground described, and has made 8 persona study of the questions involved, whict perhaps added much to the force of tho 1 sermon.-TD Danbury News.

MORE SUBJECTS FOR THE BLOCK
Alexander Dean and w. d. Chichester
were before the Mayor this morning
charged with drunken and disorderly
conduct and cruel treatment to their
families. The charge against Dean is be-
coming chronic He is the father OF the
little boy who was so seriously injured
by being, as he alleged, pushed from q
Washington Southern train some time
ago. Dean was charged with habitual
idleness, drunkenness and cruel treat
ment to his family. 1t is charged that
he recently sold horse and wagon
and pocketed the proceeds. The wife
took part ofthe money from his pock-
cts, and this precipitated the row. He
had his case continued until to night.
Chichester was charged by his wife with
assault. She also averred that for a
number of years she has been compell-
ed to support herself; that he brings
nothing into the house and recently
broke her sewing machine and thus de-
prived her of the means of gaining a
livelihood. The husband brought
counter charges, but as there were no
witnesses to corroborate the statement
of either, the Mayor continued the case
until tonight in order to procure wit
neSSes.
