LOOKING BACKWARD.
 Your correspondent recently rescued from the waste basket pile of Mid dlebroOks almanacs which date from 1s36 to 1854. Daniel Stowe, former residentof hometown district, Bedding, was very choice of hts Bible, the Bridge port Farmer and Elijah MiddlebroOks' almanac. The first he read daily. The farmer was then small weekly paper printed in Bridgeport, and generally read by the rural population. The hard working farmer consulted the al- manac for tue tides, weather and the rising of the sun, moon and stars There Is something quite familiar about these old almanacs which puts me in mind of the place where they hung, for years, on the old-fashioned grandfather's clock that ticked the old year out and the new year in many. many years ago.

THE FATE WILLIAM TWIST.

THE FATE WILLIAM TWIST.
 This community was recently sad dened by the death of a worthy citizen, William Twist, and by request the eulogy portion of Rev MT JohnSOnS address is here submitted: William Twist was born, of Welch blood 59 years ago in the little land of Wales Like the Welch he was of religious tenn perament and was reared to honor God. A the age of 28 he came to America, resided short time in Bridgeport, then moved to Seymour, where he mar ried. Three children were born Of this union, two in Seymour and one in Monroe, where he later moved. To them as we'll as to his step children he was a devoted father. After the birth of a third child, death IS cloud came into his home and took away the loving mother, leaving the father alone with children to whom he must from thenceforth be both father and mother. and most nobly did he perform his hu- man duty to them. The departed was d man of noble ideals. l have been told that few men knew their Bible better than he. Though speaking but little of himself and beliefs, those who knew him best say he had d quiet faith. He was a man who hOnOred religion and all that ennObled man. hood and womanhOod. He was a man of wide reading and until failing eye sight was a close student of daily events He was interested in more things of moment than many might think. yet because of natural modesty he participated little in public func- tions and public life. He was man who ever had good word for his neighbors, never speaking to their detriment, ever willing to draw over their frail- ties the cloak of charity. And it is no wonder that every man had 8 good word for him in return. Surely those words of Israel's wise seer can ftting- Iy be spoken of the departed, "A good name is rather to be chosen tban great riches, and loving favor than silver or gold" Industrious, honest, temper ate, law-abiding, virtue loving, he | lived and died. am sure the world is better for hisshort journey through it. God measures character in, merciful, tender charity. He judges every life by what that life was. The departed has gone to be present before the great
 tribunal, but God has judged myriads uho professed far more, but who lived far less. The interment was in East Village cemetery.
