Smith and daughter, Miss Mamie, of Lake George district, drove to Dan bury, last Saturday morning. Their horse, usually a docile animal, was hitched under the shed in the rear of the Baptist church. Mr Smith hitched him. as he thought, strong and fast. But in some way he became untied and dashed up the main street of Dunbury at a furi ous pace. The top of the carriage was lett in front of the City hall, as a special mark of respect for Mayor Andrews. At the corner of West street the horse fell and wa caught. The animal was slight ly cut by coming in contact with a hy drant and the carriage wa3 wrecked. Tw ) children who were crossing the street near the City hall narrowly escap ed bi?ing run over. Mr Smith, who was bu-y making purchases, came on to the scene of action in time to gather up the f ragruents. The horse was not so serious ly injured but that he could be driven h-m . Mr Sin th had no idea in the umrumg of the notoriety he would at tain before night, for the Danbury news papers, (always hungering and thirsting for a sensation). gave full particulars, and o he was saved the trouble of giving the details to his many Hawleyville friends. Thwre la no doubt but that tome rascal unhitched the horse, and so a runaway resulted BUILDING aND LOAN SOCIETIES. The annual report of Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright, relating to building and loan associations, says that the States of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, and some other States, re quire such associations to make annual returns in the same manner as savings banks. While building and loan associ ations had their birth from 1840 to 1850, the report shows that the average age of all associations is only a little over six years. The total number of building as sociations in the United States ia 5838. Hampshire 17. There are no returns from Vermont. The net assets ot the building societies all over the country exceed four hundred and Arty million dollars. Their profits are estimated at eighty million dollars, and it is claimed they have helped to build over 400,000 houses. A MEMORABLE SEEVICE. The praise service, last Sunday even lug at the Congregational, was one which will long be remembered by all who had the privilege of being present. t form ed a fitting close to the day, whose ser vices were all marked by earnest partici pation aud keen spiritual enjoyment. The lilacs, roses and other flowers which were massed in profusion about the plat form and pulpit still remained from the morning') service, and added no small part to the beauty of the scene. The beautiful new VQcalion organ, In position now for the first Sunday and handled by one who proved himself a thorough mas ter of its sweet tones and harmonies, was the admiration of all eyes. Gustave Bolze of New Haven, who held the place at the organ and who generously gave his services for . the day, deserves the hearty thanks of his audienqe ; it is sel dom indeed that Newtown people are fa vored with music of such an order. The grand masters, who wrote the sacred or atorios, were certainly men of genius, even more, they were men touched with a spark of heavenly fire, that by their compositions they might faintly Raggest to 11s what the swelling music of Heaven shall be. After one has heard Handel's Messiah, he feels ready to say The mosio In my heart I bore low? atter It was heard no more. Among the selections pl yed were Beethoven's "Andante in E major," "The Pastorale" from Handel's "Messiah" and an improvisation of 'Nearer my God to Thee." The last was especially flne its grand full tones holding all In rapt en- j riy menr. The pastor of the church; Rev uus vv , iiarKer, aoring trie service rela ted some touching incidents connected with some of our best loved hymns and Pennsylvania has the largest number 1079; Ohio next, 721; Massachusettsjhas 115; Connecticut 15 : Maine 29: New told how they came to be written! These thoughts put the old hvmns in anew light and doubtless led the audience to sing them with unwonted zest and feel ing. "Just as I am, without one plea' was written by Miss Charlotte Elliott in 1STZ. An eminent clergyman from Ge neva, Dr Malan, was visiting atherfath er's home in the West End cf London One evening he asked her if she were a Christian. The young lady replied that religion was a suDiect she did not wish to discuss. The matter was not again refer- rea to tnat evening, but the next morn ing Miss Charlotte apologized for her ab ruptness and said that she wanted to be a Christian, but did not know how to find Christ. "Come to Him iust as you are. answered the minister, little thinking tnat 111s reply would be repeated hi song by the whole Christian world. His an swer solved Miss Elliott's problem and led her to a life of trust. She had liter ary tastes and became editor of a maga zine, to -which she contributed several hymns anonymously, among tbem "Just as 1 am, without one plea. A philan thropic lady, at once recognizing its beauty and value, had it printed in leaf let form and distributed through the Kingdom, it soon became very popular. and all the Christian world is singing it 10-aay. Connected with the familiar hymn, "Jesus, I my cross have taken," there is this inspiring incident. When Gen Sher man was mustering hi troops for his fa mous march to the sea, the Christian Commission held religious services among the men which resulted in many remarkable conversions. On one occa sion 400 converts sat down to a commun ion service. Impressively was sung this hymn, "Jesus, 1 my cross have taken," and how they sang it, those gallant boys in blue. Commissary bread, currant wine, tin plates and tin cups were the ac companiments of the feast ; hut such did not keep the Master from His table, nor hinder the baptism of the Spirit upon these men, whom God was preparing for the fearful baptism in battle of blood and of fire. "There is a fountain filled with blood." The poet Montgomery severely criticised this hvmn of William Cowper, saying that a fountain springs up, it is not filled. Montgomery ended by entirely re-writing the hymn, expecting that the Christ ian world would at once adopt his ver sion. But the church has decided against Montgomery, while Cowper's hymn has steadily advanced in favorand will not cease to be sung Till all the ransomed chnrch of God Be saved to sin no more. During the evening the choir sang two very appropriate and beautiful selections of praise, which were thoroughly in keeping with the rest of the service. It was a day long to be remembered in the history of the church, and large congre gations were present, both morning and evening. Tj-t-hi3 securtSi-"" , , . Uorny , a son to Rev and Mrs Otis W .

Name the champion New England pacer of '94. The pacing fever is running high. No man can drink rum and train and drive horses successfully. Many a young trainer who has kept abreast of the times out classes the old fogies. One of the things that trainers as a class are slow to leain is that, after months of idleness during the winter, cannot with impunity and without injury stand violent exertion or even long con tinued efforts such as a burst of a mile at anything near full fpeed. The pacer Budd Doble,2 13 1-2, recent ly sold to Arbour Brothers of Montreal, has been again sold to a party in Ogdens- ( burg, N. Y., reported price 1500. i Injudicious hurry during the earlier part of the training season i3 the cause" of more horses going wrong than most any other combination of causes and yet a great many men fail to learn by past experience in this matter. He who makes haste slowly in early spring work really hastens the prepara tions of his horse for the turf battles that are to follow while he who begins early with stiff work and repeats will succeed in doing up his charges before the racing season arrives. HOW EOESES BEST. Horses can rest standing, provided the position be reasonably easy, but not ful ly rest except recumbent.

If the horse can have the privilege of selecting bis own position for resting on his feet he can sleep standing; but while his muscles may be to a certain degree relaxed and get rest in that position, what can be said of the bearings at the joints? Without re lief through the recumbent position the lomt surfaces are forced continuously to bear a weight varying from 1000 to 1SO0 pounds. This must act unfavorably, es pecially upon the complicated structures within the hoofs, which nature intended should have periods of rest each day. Ex. COUGH 13 A H0ESE. A gelding, six years old, has had a cough at times since he was a colt: dam who was at least 20 years old when he was foaled had a cough, but it did not seem to affect her spirits or working power.
