 A SUCCESS IN KANSAS.
 It was with much intefest that a recent letter was read from our former pastor, Rev R. w. Crighton, who is preaching in Chetopa, Kansas. In the less than two years that he .has been there, the former church having been burned, and only, the old foundatio gether with a debt of S7OO on the manse. All this discouraging aspect is now changed. A new church free from debt and the old mortgage burn ed, last July. Quite 9 revival of in- terest has prevailed among the churches there, which is good news. but we were sorry to learn of Mrs Crighton's poor health for year past, having been afflicted with boils and abscesses, but she is better now. Her three children are we'll and not only busy themselves, but keep her busy also, when she is able to care for them.
 Mrs Bull, an aunt of J. H. Stuart's and Mrs M. Hungerford $, is visiting them.
 Mrs w. B. Hungerford has been in Danbury, the past week, caring for her mother, who had an attack of
 Mrs Kate Stuart's daughter and granddaughter, who have been sick at Isaac Stuart's, are both better. huUn thompson IS under the care or pr Dolan.
 Dea Gelston and his two sisters are i'm proving slowly. His hired man had l the pneumonia while the deacon was sick, so that Mills Hungerford proved 1 a friend in need and did the chores. The missionary meeting is at the parsonage on Friday afternoon. MT Davis was feeling so i'll, last Sun 1 day, that the service at the Center in | the evening was omitted. Mrs Davis was the recipient of a nice sum of money at Christmas time, for which she expressed much appreci- ation and gratitude MT Mcdonald expects to go to New York, this week. The BeyerS Brothers have nearly completed an ice house for pr Smith: Rev w. H. Wilson was calling on some Quaker Hill friends, last week, and spent the night at G. w. Durgy's Rev MT Warren from Quaker Hill preached in Coburn church, last Sun day, and there was goodly number present, all of whom not only enjoyed the good sermon, but also the fine singing of MT and Mrs Warren. Mrs Maltby Leach has recently vis- ited her parents on Dover Plains. When in Waterbury trad ng you can get toothsOme dinner at a small price at Callendar's Half Dime Lunch on South Main street.
