TEX.
 The annual convention of the Episco- pal diocese of Connecticut was held on Tuesday.at Christ church, Bridgeport. There were about 300 delegates present, half of whom were laymen of the church. Connecticut is the oldest dio- cese in the United States and the fourth in power and influence.
 The convention opened with holy com munion at 9.30. Bishop Brewster was the celebrant. Dr Seymour read the gospel, pr Hart of Middletown the epis- tie and the other clergymen who assist ed were Rector H. D. Cone of the church, ,KAichdescon L. N. Booth, Rev s. F. Jarvis, grandson of the second bishop of the diocese, Rev G. T. Linsley of Newtown and Rev Dr Andrews of Guilford, who preached the sermon.
 Probably the most important question acted upon was to amend the constitu- tion to admit laymen to the standing committee. As at present constituted the standing committee Is composed of five clergymen and according to the pro. posed change 1t would be made up of four clergymen and four laymen. The question was before the convention for the last time previously in 1886, when it was defeat d. Connecticut andi Mary land are the only states at present which do not admit lay delegates. The pro- posed amendment drew cut an animated revealing diff, renee of opir- ion of both orders. It was finally de- feated by a large majority SO that hence forth the standing committee of the dio- cese will be composed, as heretofore, ex clusively of clergymen.
 The first business of the afternoon ses- sion was the receipt of the tellers an- nouncing the election of the standing committee, which Is practically the bishops cabinet. An unusual occurrence sas the fact that Rev Samuel Hart, D. D., of Middletown, received the entire vote of the convention, 19S votes being cast. Another unusual occurrence was the election of the entire committee on the first ballot, 'as follows: Rev s. o. Sey nour, D. D., of Litchfeld, Rev Sam uel Hart, D. D., of Middletown, Rev W. G. Andrews, D. D., of Guilford, Rev John Binney, D. D., of Middletown and Rev George T. Linsley of Newtown.

One of our popular merchants has been carrying around scars on his nose, which look as if he had been in pugilistic en- counter. This is not the case, we find on investigation.
