 built upward, and ere many months have elapsed, it is confiedently ex-
 pected that the people will again be | called to gather to dedicate to the
 worship of God, new and neat edi- flee, The weather was everything that could be desired. The clouds of the morning, which for time threatened downpour, all cleared away before noon, and the sun shone forth as if to do honor to the occa- sion. There was a large audience of people who gathered about the plat form which had been erected in front
 of the corner stone. Bunting was
 draped about the sides of the con- |struction, while large American flag was placed about the corner
 stone. The choi: of about 25 voices
 occupied seats on the platform, to-
 gether with the several clergymen,

 were Rev Storrs O. Seymour, D. D.,
 rector of St Michaels church, Litch-

One, the old box which was in the former corner stone contained the old records and all its former contents. In speaking of the new box to be placed in the stone he asked Edwin Short, one of the oldest and best known members of the church, read the list df what the box contained. After a hymn, Rev Dr Seymour, president of the Standing committee of the Diocese of Connec- ticut, in the absence of the bishop of the diocese, laid and sealed the cor ner stone, The stone bears the rates 1835-19O9.
