NO SMALL CHANGE IN NORWICH
Silver Currency Had All Disappeared Fifty Years Ago-Ct- Petition for Issue of Fractional Parts of Dollar Paper Money Deprecating = Nation Waits for Nc Clellan's Army to Move.

Silver currency had so completely disappeared In 1862 that, business in- terests in the country were seriously embarrassed and in Norwich a petition was presented to the city's common council by Lee & Osgood and others asking for the city to take steps to relieve the stringency by issuing a fractional currency in some form of small denomination, say twentieths, tenths quarters, and halves of dol lars. The answer of the council was that they found the necessity existed but that such currency issue was clearly against the state law of the state, yet they advised submitting the matter to a city meeting to be called.
 The following are extracts from the Bulletin of 1882:
 October 20, 1s62-The 14th New Hampshire regiment passed through this city Saturday evening en route for the seat of war.
 The Twenty Sixth Connecticut, had their first dress parade, since re- ceivipg their new uniforms, at Camp Russell, Saturday afternoon.
 The Congregational Society of Som- CTS has voted to give their pastor. Rev. G. A. Oviatt, leave of absence for nine months in order that he may accept the chaplaincy of the 18th regiment.
 Paper Dollar Worth 84 Gents.
 The immense imitation of the nation al currency is now bringing about it's legitimate fruits Just as long as the amount issued was fithin the require ments of the commercial community, there was no difficulty in keeping 1t at or near par, but so soon as 1t was in excess of these requirements paper money immediately became a drug, and consequently Appreciated in the market until at present a dollar in government notes is worth only s4 cents in specie.
 Norwich Boys Faring Well. A letter from private in the 18th regiment, in which there are many 1 Norwich boys, writes: We live first rate for soldiers, having plenty of fresh and salt meat. hard bread of good quality, rice coffee and beans. We also have vegetables. The boys are in good spirits"
 October 21. 1S62-The members ol l the Ledyard company in the 26tk regiment, presented Lieut.. Maffitt oi | that company with a sword, sash and belt.

Rev. Charles Storrs of Shau-We, China, addressed a good sized audi ence Thursday evening in the chapel of the First Congregational church up- on The Outlook in China It is far and away beyond any one mans judgment, he said, to know just what is going on in China today. Before the revolution China was moving forward fast upon the new lines of progress. The old ed ucation had been swept away and the western had taken it's place; the postal service had developed. also the new coinage system; the army and navy were made over.
 Young China determined to have done with the Manchus, and the revo- lution broke out. The revolution was planned and brought through by the student class, those affected by west ern learning, by men who had come to realize what the modern rule was as learned in Japan. England and the United States. Is the new government going to stand? Yes. we all feel conti- dent that China is to make good. We have our hope in the character of the men who are the leaders, the number and quality of Christian men found in cabinet, in national and provincial as semblies Even if only one-fifth are Christian men, that means much ir such a large nation. The strategic men are Christian men; if they be strong enough to stand, the republic will stand. When you pray for China pray for them. They are the hope o1 the nation.
 China today needs the support of the home churches in money and Christian men. We are going to have leaders there. Forty of our young men II Foochow last spring pledged them selves for the Christian minintry Young men are realizing that thu place for them today is in educationa or religious work. Within this genera tion we can lead this nation of 400, 00O, 900 to Christ or, like Japan, thei chance may be lost through lack O vision of lack of faith. Shall we b faithless to China and leave her t follow blind way, or shall we under girt that whole movement with tn spirit of Christ?

ADDRESSED LARGE NUMBER.
Revival Services Are Expected t
 Come to a Close Next Week.

Captain Wilbur of the Salvation Army spoke to a congregation of about 30 Friday evening at the M. E. church on North Main street. He took for his subject Who Shall Sep arate Us from the Love of God? He pointed out how the scoffs, jests and mockery of our friends will not sep arate us from God if we are patient and bear all in manly way. Paul stood the mockery of his friends and even great privation with patience and acted kindly toward those who were unkind to him. His reward was peace and a place, beside the Father in heaven. This shall also be your re-
 ward if you take your sufferings as slight afflictfons and rejoice, as Paul
 did, that you have the chance to show your true love for the Father.
 Mrs. Wilbur also spoke on Enthusi- asm, saying that the people should be as enthusiastic over the success of the church as they are over the out | come of politics and other government tal affairs.
 | Sunday evening Mrs. Wilbur will | speak at the meeting in the church Next week is expected to be the last
 week of the. revival meetings to be held at the M. E. church, as Captai Wilbur has plans to hold services else. l where. After recess of several days
 the services were continued Thursday
 evening and the captain spoke to .

 evening was Blessed Be Those Tha1 | Follow Not the Path of the Wicked.
