 The pulpit of the Grand Avenue Bap' tist church was supplied yesterday by Rev. N. R. Evarts of Plymouth, Mass, who preached two interesting and in structive sermons. Prefacing his ser monfin the morning. he spokely briefly Of the life and death of President Lin coln, remarking that it was proper up on the anniversary of the birth of our first martyred president that a, word in memory should be spoken. He said that this great president-this man who was raised up and had performed such an important work in the history of this nation needed not the words of man in euIogy. His life was his eulo- gy. He referred for his. sincere love for tn esouth, which had been desolated by war, and said that this great presi- dent had far reaching plans for that section, but was cut down by an as sassin before these plans could have their fulfillment. His life had been glorified and would be more and more set forth illustriously as the years went by. His death was indeed sac rifice for his country. It was a very ap- propriate introduction to his sermon which followed, on the sacrifice of our Lord, founded on the text, Christ died for us."

 Superintendent Beede in his annual ! report, referring to, the Quinnipiae
 school says: ''The school is situated I about mile and a qquarter from the | northern end of the district and has l four rooms, with four primary grades I and is now filled. From this upper end ] of the district about forty-eight chil
 dren come to the Quinnipiac school { about twenty of whom are little chil '. dren in the first and second grades. IT
 winter this section is extremely colo l and bleak and I recommend that the
 board of education consider the erec- l tion of a small wooden building, of one | or two rooms in the upper end of this ! section for the accommodation of these younger children. The room thus made i vacant in the Quinnipiac school could
 be used to accommodate other children
 who are now obliged to cross the river | to the Strong school.
