 Mrs James Hennessey of Lafay- cite street who broke her leg some time ago. has returned to her home from the hospital where she has been since she received the injury. Although the break is healing nicely still it will be a long time before the old lady will have the full use of the limb.
 Ut begins to look as if the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting con- pany has decided to leave the Brook lyn line as it is for few years as it has sent in petition to the aldermen in regard to the proposed line in Rob- bins street. Therefore it behooves the Brooklyn and Town Plot people to work all the harder and if they are licked they can at any rate console themselves with the fact that for once in their life they made good fight.
 Although foreigners as a rule are careful in eNpending money and par. ticular as to what they obtain for the long green. still during tine week one of them who had neat sum saved. invested. with the result that he is about two hundred dollars poorer than he was d few days ago. The fellow purchased store in Brooklyn but he little or nothing about the business and seemed to know not much more about the value of money. For the two days that he was ill business he did a fair amount of trade but took in very little money. Finally three days after he made the purchase he sold the store for about two hundred dol lars cheaper than he had bought it fol and it will be some time before he starts into the meat business again.
 --TO-night the mass meeting is tC be held in the lyceum and it is to bt hoped that all taxpayers and those who have any regard for the welfare of the Brooklyn district will be or hand and show the city fathers tha, 1 Brooklyn is going to make fight fol those improvements which she de serves. Men who have any politica 1, differences should think in the samt manner at least for this evening an( bury the petty quarrels which are do ing much to retard tue progress oi this section. There are some gooG speakers down for addresses th;. | evening and they are likely to prov, interesting to those who take tn, trouble to attend. Perhaps some fee slighted because they have not beer | asked to contribute few words bu they will. in all probability, be givcl an opportunity to show their oratOri cal ability at some of the meetings | which are sure to follow if this even ing'S event proves q success. Tn, 1 meeting commences at s o'clock anC all who can should be preesnt at tba hour as it will avoid much confusion which is always caused by late arriv als.
 Although his congregation is mak ing q big effort to have Rev Benjamin Root of the Third Congregations church reconsider the matter of read ing his resignation on next Sunday | still it is likely to have very littl, effect as the pastor feels he ought |, go to the position which is waiting so him in Columbus. Ohio. Mir Root whci asked this morning if ne as yet wa! determined to resign said T feel a. if I ought to go to the place which i. open for me. It is much large parish and will improve the health q my wife greatly. Although am deep ly attached to my present congrega tion. still feel as if the change will be for the better.'' It now appears although AIr Root does not care [, talk about it, that everything has no been running smoothly In the affair, of the little church on the hill. Thing: have been conducted by q couple O factions. according to the statement o one of the members of the church. an, the members of one party even en deayofed to have the minister atten, the primaries in the recent election and when he staid away put up big holler. His salary has at time been held up because these faction could not agree and the minister ba been the one to suffer. Bui. now. al the members are urging Mr Root L stay. hut it looks as if he had decide
 to leave Waterbury and try his foI tune in q new field.
