 Members of the local G. A. R. and the I n ~ ALo morial services in the Methodist church, Stafford Springs, last Sunday, felt richly repaid in the eloquent and most fitting sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. I. Barthol- omew. We see now why some folks "don't like MT. Bartholomew" It is be- cause he is fearless preacher of right eousness-in the town, state and nation, as we'll as in the individual. The old sol diers, at least, would like to see that splendid discourse in print. | Thirteen proved lucky number to the two Mormon elders, Joseph Wallace and D. Dimock's on the evening of the 22d ult., saying that it was the thirteenth house where they had sought food and | lodging and were refused. They were taken in and hospitably entertained, but found their hostess better versed in scrip ture than they were themselves, and evil dently concluded they were in the wrong place to make a proselyte. They admit ted that was their business, but we have not heard of their holding any meetings in this vicinity. They say they do not pay for their food and lodgings on their travels.
 The June magazines are full of interest, as usual. The Review of Reviews is simply indispensable to any one who de- sires to keep up with current topics. The most brilliant serial for the last half year is Richard Harding Davis' Soldiers of Fortune, just closed in Scribners'. He inherits the talent and versatility of his mother Rebecca Harding Davis, favor ite writer quarter century ago. The best magazine poem for the six months last past is, we think, Easter Flowers" :" by Clarence Urmy, in the April Century. "The Story of An Untold Love-" in the Atlantic, keeps up its intense interest to
  conventional manner of the telling. Har- | per's "White Mans Africa" by Poultney Bigelow, is instructive and picturesque. The very bright paper, "Getting and Spending" in the current Cosmopolitan, |, hews right to the line. We wish it could be read from the palace to the cabin. This excellent magazine is only one dol lar year.
