The sudden death of Mrs Julia M. Wakeley, wife of Louis Wakeley, at Bridgeport on Saturday of last week was a severe shock to her many friends. MT and Mrs Wakeley drove to Bridgeport, starting after dinner, and after putting up the horse at Peck's stable, Mrs Wake ley started for the depot to meet her mother, Mrs Caroline Hoyt, whom she expected from Norwalk, while MT Wakeley attended to an errand, after which he was to join her at the depot. Mir Wakeley arrived at the depot first and met the expected friends and was surprised that his wife had not arrived. He started in search of her, but mean while while on the way to the depot her. self she had met some friends on Fair field avenue and conversed with them pleasantly. Arriving at the depot she suddenly sank to the ground and was ta. ken into the express office. She never regained consciousness, but passed away from heart failure. On returning to the depot Mir Wakeley heard the hackmen talking about lady that had dropped dead and at once surmised it was his wife. She had not complained of feeling badly at all and was apparently in her usual health when deaths hand struck her down. The remains were brought to her Long Hill home, from which the funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev Mir Boylston officiating. The pail bearers were Messrs Granville Dunning, Daniel Mahoney, Charles Jennings and John Treadwell. She was laid at rest in the Long Hill cemetery. Mrs Wakeley was lady highly respected by all who knew her. her kind deeds and words of sympathy entering many hearts, and her sudden demise is sincerely mourned, especially by her husband, who is heart broken over his loss. During happy married life of over 9 years they had scarcely been separated from each other. She was 5l years old.

DEATH OF FREDERICK P. FERRY.
 Frederick P. Ferry, aged 46 years, was found dead iu an out building back of Ferry's blacksmith shop on Chestnut street, last Friday forenoon. MT Ferry was single man and familiar charac- ter on the streets, an inoffensive person with but one bad habit which cut him down in the prime of life. It's the same old, old story over and over again that has taken so many of our best hearted young men from our midst to an early grave. The deceased was laid at rest, Monday afternoon, in the South street cemetery. Rev A. O. Knesal officiated.

CHRISTMAS AT CHRIST CHURCH.


 On Monday the Sunday school of Christ church had their Christmas at the Rectory. A merry crowd of young sters, with parents and friends thronged the house and had most delightful and jolly time. Games, declamations, and Christmas carols beguiled the time till till supper was announced, which in quality and abundance sustained the the we'll earned reputation of the ladies for hospitality. Finally the beautiful tree erected in the dining room claimed the attention of the happy crowd, and it's fruit was dispensed by Old Santa in an impartial manner, and then all d. parted voting the entertainment of 1896 had preceded It.
 HOW THE CONGREGATIONAL CHILDREN WERE MADE HAPPY. The Christmas festival at the Con- gregational church, though last in order of time, was by no means behind in interest and enthusiasm. A congregation that filled the church and overfiowed into the aisles witnessed with great pleasure the exercises of the occasion. At the proper time the Sunday school entered the main body of the church nvmn. Mr Gregory presided at the organ and Mrs Randall at the piano There were recitations by various mem bers of the school, a beautiful song by the infant class and carols sung by the school and audience. A Christmas tree, magnificent pine and reaching to the ceiling, brilliantly lighted and adorned, stood in the chancel, thlng of beauty and of joy to the little ones, and If admiration to the older ones. The lights in the church being turned down Santa Claus made his appearance amld the clapping of hands and shouts of de- light from the youngsters. Proceeding to business the tree was speedily stripped of it's fruit and the pleased audience slowly dispersed.
