A POSTPONED GAME.

NON-APPEARANCE OF THE "CHEv-
 ALIERs."
 Owing to the non-appearance of the "Chevaliers, of Bridgeport, last Sat- urday, the game scheduled at the Fair grounds did not take place. After waiting until p. m., the management returned the gate money to those who paid admission, and a picked nine made up from the spectators, assisted by the regular teams first battery, "Warner and Bishop" played a three inning game with the regular team. There were some very original plays made by some members of the picked team, which evoked much laughter on the part of the spectators; but owing to the threatening aspect of the weather, and the fact that Rev MT Linsley picked a fly from the bat of Edward Taylor, without that gentle mans permission, the umpire gave a WOodbury ruling, declaring the game Ca forfeited tie game in favor of mo- body but the umpire."
 On Saturday of this week, at the Fair grounds the Newtowns will cross bats with the Sheltons. It will be re- membered that the SheltOnS beat the NewtOWnS on their own grounds, in June, before the regular season open ed, by a score of 8 to ', and again on July 20, played tie game at IA to 14.
 Therefore the game Saturday prom ises to be one of the closest and best played games of the season, as both teams are very evenly matched. There will no doubt be much larger crowd present than there has been at any game since July i. NewtOwn will put their best efforts forth "without the assistance of the umpire," to win this game So do not fail to be present.

MRS s. H, PLATT.

Catharine, wife of Rev $. H. Platt, and daughter of the late Rev William H. Bangs, departed this life in Ware, Mass, on Tuesday morning, May l4, and was laid to rest in Oak Grove cem- etery, Springfield, Mass, May 16, 1901. Rev s. H. Platt was the beloved pastor of the NewtOwn charge from April, 1863, to April, 1865, and was one of the most popular preachers the church has ever had. Mrs Platt was active in church work, and was teacher of a large class of boys in the Sunday school. Among the number were Ezra George Couch, Sidney Wilson, Charles Hall, John Judson, and others who well remember Mrs Platt as faithful and instructive teacher. She was the mother of five children, three sons and two daughters, all preceding her to the better land excepting the young est daughter, who resides in Spring field, Mass, and is considered a very skillful physician in that city. The oldest daughter, May, married Rev William Rice Newhall, then pastor of the State street Methodist church, Springfield, and now principal of the Wilbraham seminary, Massachusetts. She died August IS, 1890, leaving three young children. A short time after, Harry, their only son, a bright, prom ising young man, was stricken down with spinal meningitis and lived but few days. Mrs Platt had been an in valid for several years. She was silent in sorrow, tender and cautious in speech, charitable towards all. Her girlhood was devout; her motherhoe d a marvel of loving diligence, and her last years an instance of truStful pa tience in suffering. Her confidence in the Master was unshaken and peace fully and prayerfully she awaited the summons to depart. To her death was gain.
 Home at last on Heavenly mountains,
 Heard the Come and enter in;' Saved by lifeS fair flowing fountains,
 Saved from earthly fear and sin.
 Welcomed at the pearly portal.
 Ever more a welcome guest;
 Welcomed to the life immortal,
 In the mansions of the blest"

 Manager Henry H. Garfield of the WOOdbury ball team was in town on Sunday and called on Manager Gordon of the local team. Up to date the Woodbury team has refused to pay the $lO guaranteed the visitors on the ground that there was no game Eight innings were played and five constitute game. The doctor point edly asked his visitor if there was no game why it was they retained the gate money. MT Garfield said how ever, that he had paid back some of the entrance fees. Dr Gordon offered to leave out the question whether or no game was played to "Nick Young of the National League, and ii he said there was no game, he would cheerfully abide by his decision and not put in claim for the $1O. The very fact that Manager Garfield drove over to NeWtown and looked up the local manager would seem to indicate that his conscience troubled him and that he wished to make amends for the unfair treatment accorded to the New town team,

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
THE SUNDAY EVENING SERVICE, AL
 CYST 25

1hL SUNDA1 hNlNo oE1Rf INL. AO GUST 25.
 Next Sunday evening, August 25. the August missionary meeting will be held in the church at 7.3O o'clock. It will take the form of praise service, when the pastor will give incidents connected with the great missionary hymns of the Church and the story of their origin. Few:realize.h how many of these splendid hymns have grown out of great crises in the history of the Church and what an inspiring influ- ence they have had.
 The Christian Endeavor meeting next Sunday evening, August 25, will be devoted to the Juniors. All the older members are asked to have their parts suited to the children-a story, d simple prayer, thought. Subject, "Daily Prayer," Ps. 34: 1-22.
 The next 'rally" prayer-meeting oc- CUTS on Friday evening next week, Au- gust 30. Subject, ..Knowing in whom pastor is leader for the meeting. En- outraged by what has already been ac- cOmpliShed in these meetings, let us go forward.
 With the' exposition of the Sunday school lesson at the prayer meeting this (Friday) evening, a brief devotion al service Twill be held on the topic, ''Self-sacrifice, Mat. 16: 24-28. This corresponds to the Sunday school les son for August 25, "Abraham and Isaac," Gen. P: 1-12. MT Farnham Fox, one of our summer guests, leads this evenings devotional meeting. A nice collection of books has been received to help in replacing the pri- vate library of Miss Abbie Chapin, of Picking, China, who lost nearly all her personal property through the Boxers: Miss Chapin'was hOnored by the Red Cross Society for her services in the hospital during the siege of Peking, and is noble heroine of the Cross. Books may yet be left at the parsonage to be sent in the fall shipment of the American Board to China, and one could hardly wish for a better oppor- tunity to do little worthy work.

At the close of the siege of Vicks- had taken possession, party of Union troops entered the office of the daily paper, and noticed the following item at the bottom of one column:
 ON DTT.-That the great Ulysses the Yankee GeneraliSSimO, Surnamed Grant-has expressed his intention of dining in Nicksburg on Saturday next, and celebrating the 4th of July by a grand dinner and so forth. When asked if he would invite Gen. Jo. John- son to join, he said, "No! for there must get into the city before he dimes in it. The way to cook a rabbit is ''tirst catch the rabbit" Sc.
 One of the boys, a printer, at once wrote the following reply, and set it up in type, and put it at the bottom of another column, and then worked off another "Wall paper editiOn.' NOTE.
 JULY 4th, 1863. Two days bring about great changes The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has "caught the abbit, ; he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner with him. The Citizen" lives to see it. For the last time It appears on wv all-paper. v No more will it eulogise the luxury of mule meat and fricassed kittie-urge Southern warriors to such diet never more. This is the last wallpaper edition, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as curiosity.
