and recognizing 1t as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy

good recommendations included therein,
We concluded to make frat trial OF the

In its results, IL putting 1t very mildly,

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE AT THE SANDY
HOOK METHODIST CHURCH.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE AT THE DANDY
HOOK METHODIST CHURCH.
Some person, who doesn't deserve the
title of man, committed deed on Sun
day night at Sandy Hook, which may
land him in States prison. 1t was at the
Methodist church, during the evening
service hour, when stone was heard TO
crash in the vestibule. 1t struck the
lamp, but fortunately did not set fire to
the building. These same parties, it is
suspected, are the ones who have an
noyed the church people before during
services. A day of judgement awaits
them, and it is very possible some of
them "mav yet do time" at Wethersfield.
The church offers reward of $25 for the
of the party who threw the
stone. If the lamp had started fire it
would have cut off egress from the build
ing. 1t is indeed serious matter, and 1t
is hoped it may not occur again.
