 Miss Mabel Clark is spending her vaca- tion in visiting her sisters in Dorchester and Worcester, Mass.
 Rev. D. Y. Moor has been supplying the Congregational church in North Gov entry for some time past. We are told by good authority that Ira Dimock of Hartford has not given any great sum of money, after all, for the cemetery association.

Pcatt and family spent Thanks giving at Mir. Annes', of Vernon, superin- tendent of the creamery there. Doubt less there were other Thanksgiving lob servances" that did not come to our knowledge.
 A special meeting of the Wilmington cemetery association and its directors has been called for next Tuesday evening, at 7 o'clock, on Wilmington Hill. All in- terested in both the old and the new yards are requested to be present. If stormy, the following evening. We were misinformed as to the pres- ence of Mrs. w. D. Holman at the recent w. c. T. U. national convention in Wash- ington, and Mrs. Preston did not go to the meeting and dinner at the temporary home in Vernon last week on account of disappointment in conveyance.
 A dialog entitled, ''The Girls Club" 8 flag drill and live Santa Claus, with, perhaps, a glimpse of his home life, will be among the attractions of the Christ mas entertainment in the Baptist meeting house. Somebody must provide the pres- ents for the tree. Contributions from friends will be acceptable.
 It is to be hoped that there will be 8 full attendance of both society members and church members at the meeting to- morrow evening. There's something to be said on both sides of the question. While, on general principles, the fusion of the two bodies is good thing, the local situation may be taken into &C., count. The following notice has been duly posted: The Willington Baptist church and ecclesiastical society are to hold a meeting in the conference room Friday evening, at 7.3O, to consider the matter of incorporating the church. transferring the funds and property held by the socie- ty to the control of the church and dis solving the society. If stormy, the meet ing will be postponed to the following Monday night.
 | Both the sOcials on the Hill Wednes- day evening of last week were held &C., cording to appointment. The Congrega- tional one was well attended, and good ly sum of money was realized. We were not the author of the item last week which doubtless started the rumor that $10 was stolen on the occasion. The writer of 1t, when she said $1O was "tak- en-" meant to have 1t understood that the $1O were the proceeds of the affair. The enterprise that secured the transmits sion of the item to The Press office early the next morning ought to have embraced the report of the Baptist social also.
 The minutes of the 76th meeting of the Ashford Baptist association, a comely pamphlet, is at hand. The spirit of con- densation seems to prevail in spots some- times. For instance, the Mansfield church letter is boiled down much more than the one from Warrenville. By the way, we have noticed the frantic anxiety of attendants on their meeting here and elsewhere in the association to get through with the exercises, one of the most i'm portant being the dinner, and then put for home. Rather unseemly and un- christian haste for an assembly who have gathered for few hours, once year, to deliberate on the great and all-important subject of the spread of Christ's kingdom |? The next meeting is to be held in Staf- ford. Benevolent contributions of local church, $84.67.
