Hospital Sunday.

In accordance with the custom of eighteen years the annual collection gn aid of the New Haven hospital will be taken up in the churches on Saturday and Sunday, January Il and F. 1896. During the year 1895 the number of patients treated has been the highest ever known. There have been 1,084 un- der treatment. although the daily aver age number has been slightly smaller than in 1894. This increased activity has drawn on the resources of the hos. pital and added to our expenses. while our income has been somewhat less than usual As the hospital is doing a charitable work at loss our expenses always exceed our receipts. This year this excess is likely to be greater than before, and it makes our appeal for aid especially urgent.
 Contributions may be sent at any time to the treasurer, MT Charles E. Curtis. at the City bank. or to !. H Starkwea ther, superintendent.

SiLIsRURY IS FIRM.

 Glasgow, Jan 9,--The Glasgow Her. ald asserts that it has seni-oflicial au- thorlty for the statement that Lord Sal isbury's attitude in regard to Venezuela is wholly unchanged, and that upon no account will he submit to arbitration territory occupied by British subjects who are relying upon Great Britains protection.
 Lord Salisbury, the Herald says, is ready to arbitrate all questions which the diplomatic dispatches have admit ted to be open and is also ready to con cede any inconsiderable claims which do not involve a transfer of the allegl- ance of British subjects.
 London, Jan. 9.--The Westminster Ga- zette publishes a report of an n.erYleW with Sir John Lubbock, M. r. for Lon don university, in which he says: IT the trivial Venezuela frontier disputes shall result in Grsat Britain and the United States settling all their disputes by arbitration where diplomacy fails, then the disputes gre great p-esslng' but President CiVeland's gratui.ous threat of war is not calculated to pro- mote an amicaIble settlement, HnSland Ionly refused to arbitrate territory whlcn our eolonists have occupied for many years. As regards Justice Harlan pre- else proposal to submit dispu'es be- tween the United States and G eat Brit an to commission composed of an equal number of justices of the United States supreme court and of the high court of justice of England, should require time to think it over carefully, though cordially approve of some such | tribunal"

sisted by some young men, every one
had candy and apples. Then from
some mysterious recess came more
baskets and from them came presents
which when received caused eyes to
glisten and happy smiles to chase
each other on the faces of young and
old. The cup received by Mr.. w

litter but he accepted the situation
JOLLY by intimating he could make
it useful by filling 1t oftener.
And then the proceedings termm-
ated. We were the grateful recipi-
ents of Capt and Miss Hannah Fra
ter's hospitality and we passed a
pleasant day.
But we must add that but for the
most christian act of Mr.. John Chris

portunity of enjoying as we did the
last Sunday of 1895, for hearing on

walk, he VOLUNTEERED to fetch us there

for enabling us to keep our engage
ment and assist at a pleasant oc-

EDITOR MITCHELL MAIL.
l have had so very many inquiries
from my dear old Dacota, as to this
country, so | have concluded to ask
space in the Mail to reply. Fate was
against us in our long drive of 1000
miles to this place. All of my family
were down with the fever for many
weeks. At the end Of the journey
we lost all of our best horses. |
merely mention these things to show
that man we'll located should not
move. There was no settlement
here when we came, but western In
dustry and enterprise have changed
the face Of this country. A large
city has been surveyed: the trees are
being removed, streets graded, and
deep wells are being drilled. About
three thousand people have arrived,
although the managers of this colony
are doing all they can to keep back
the great crowds that are anxious to
come south. Dollars don't grow on
trees here, and no one can get work
unless he owns stock III the colony.
Colonists who came by rail brought
the finest horses and COWS, the first
seen in this part of Georgia. There
are more than two hundred double
teams here from the west; hay, $25
per ton and oats 80 cents bushel
Temporary building are going up all
over the country; lots in our city
have changed hands at booming pri-
Ger, big trees still on them. A large
single mill runs day and night and
can't supply the demand. Our own
saw mill saws $4,000 feet of humber
day; four mills not on our land saw
about 10000 which is used by this
colony, besides much dressed lumber
that reaches here by rail. This col
ony is composed of a good class o.
people from all parts of the union
everybody is at work and perfec
satisfaction reigus. We have hac
very pleasant weather, no wind, NJ
ice or snow; plenty OF good wood
South Dacota is well represented
here. Mr.. PHI. Fitzgerald, one o
the best men in Indianapolis, Ind.

her praise, and the people of this col
oLy will always honor him for hi
