 Membership and Finances.
 The total membership last year in the association was 3,S39 and the total value of church property was placed at $232434.25. The total Sunday school enumeration was 2,626.
 There has not been any very ma- terial change in the numerical strength of the churches in recent years. The gain is very largely offset by death and removal of members In some of the churches there has been a revision of membership rolls and large number of those who had not been heard from for long time were cut off. One church last year reported the ensure of S9.
 The financial reports for last year show that the home expenses of the churches in the association were $31, : 676.66 and the expenses of the schools were S2,1S7.42. The benevolent sub Scfiptions were as follows for the whole association: State missions, $716.54: home missions, $576.23; for eign missions, $649.02; womans home missions, s460.87; woman's foreign missions. s529.64: youths missionary societies. S10; Bible and Publication society, $173.04; ministerial education, S177.22 ministers and widows fund $26LT0 support of church poor, $787.76 other objects, $1,541.SS; Sun day school benevolence, $336.47; total benevolence, $6,219.S7; total amount raised for all purposes, $40,083.95.
 The meeting which Is to be held in September is the ninety sixth anni- versary of the association, which shows that it is a venerable body
 The Norwich churches will all have delegates at the meetings and the fact that the Quaker Hill church Is so accessible by trolley will cause many besides the delegates to attend There have been several changes in pastors during the past year and the Central First and Third churches of Norwich and the First of Waterford will send new clergymen to represent them.

FRESH ARRIVALS OF
 THE BROWNTAlL MOTHS. Cluster Seen on Chelsea Savings Bank
 Building on Thursday.

Fresh arrivals of the browntails, which first came to this city Tuesday evening and were discovered Wednes- day morning, evidently came here We'd nesday night as the Cliff street side of the Chelsea Savings bank was spotted with them. on Thursday. Those that had taken lodgment within reach were kil:ed, but there were quite number that were too high up to be reached by the swat-the- moth volunteers that went after them.
 While Norwich and Westerly has had a visit from the moths, New London has not yet seen any of them down that way, it is reported It is possible that they may be brought there, but the tree warden's men, ins praying of trees which is being done continually are on the lookout for the insects, and they will be imm ediately extermfnated should they be discovered. Extreme precautionary steps are being taken continually against pests of all kinds
 Not only is Tree Warden Fuller alive to the possibilities of the de- struction of trees by moths and beetles, but he has taken steps toward saving the trees from dying, on ac- count of the drought. Several days ago MT Fuller set a gang of men at work digging the earth from around all the small trees which have been recently set out all over New London, and water was poured into the ground and allowed to soak into the roots. This precaution was absolutely neces- sorry, or the drought would have prov- en disastrous to the trees. After they have been watered two or three times the earth will be put back and the soil put in condition iii which 1t was found.
 Many persons taking pride in the appearance of their premises and sur roundings, unaware of the intention of the tree warden, were disturbed over the digging up of the earth around the trees and registered complaints. In fact, in several instances persons did not recognize the tree warden's men and called MT. Fullers attention to the fact that men were digging up around the trees and asking an investigation. The reason was explained to these per- sons. who not only accepted the ex- plantation, but were profuse in their praise for the precaution against the destruction of the trees.

 Dr. Joseph M Ganey chanced to be passing in his runabout and he was stopped by the calls for assist anoe. At first glance the sight of the men, nearly all of them prostrated in the road. gave the impression that there had been a wholesale slaughter With others attracted to the scene the doctor restored quiet and then gave each of the men superficial ex- animation. Nearly all of them were bleeding profusely from cuts and bruises and other minor injuries, but the examination failed to reveal any serious injuries. This fact seemed to restore the equanimity of the men who made an examination of the ma chine which was discovered to be only slightly damaged and the last seen of the militiamen they were proceed ing to Niantic in the auto
