There is a cause for some women TO app

Have yon not observed women who scln-

lost half their charms when seen Ia their

The Lyceum has at last closed, owing to the warm weathea. short evenings and non-attendance of members; and the few who held out to the last concluded that the next meeting should be called by the s'5atsiness committee" The committee is composed of Messrs.

Sharon.

The town of Sharon, bounded on the eastern line of New York, nearly resem- bles in soil and climate the adioin- ing towns in that state. This is especial ly the case with the western portion of Sharon which is also moro free from rocks than is usually the case in Litch- field county.
 It is no exaggeration to say of the good people of Sharon that for courtesy, kind ness, and affability to strangers they are not easily excelled. They have been ac- cused of want of public spirit and it has been said that ''here people have no enter prise, in embelshing their homes" The finest ornaments of the country village are certainly here in the stately elms that tower high above the houses and make the principal street of Sharon 8 very beautiful one, and show that much has been done most iudiciously to open the way for improvement. A little park might very easily he made, at small ex- pense compared with its value, commen- cling at the head of the street and extend- ing down between the two roads. Such a a park, enclosed with nice fence and embellished with shrubblery. this season, would soon make Sharon street the most beautiful street in Western Connecuticut: and the value of real estate throughout the town would be increased more than five times the cost of the improvement.
 It should be remembered that all our cities are very rapidly growing and in
 creasing in wealth, and that the demand for accommodations for city boarders in beautiful and retired country towns is constantly increasing and must continue to increase. Yet, many people coming from New York go right through this viii lage to Lakeville and pay there much higher prices for board than a charged in this village. With little effort and improvement in Sharon this need not he case. One reform, of all others, must be accomplished before our beautiful street

,,e made attractive, or indeed anything but annoying, to summer visitors. Cattle and horses should never be allowed to run at large onthe highway; for, besides the filthy condition in which they keep the street and sidewalks, they are so destruc- five to shade trees that it is almost lmpossl- ble to keep young trees from being utter ly destroyed. The fact that so many per sons will drive right pasta hitchlng post and tie their horses to young tree ought to arouse the indignation of every public spirited person in the community.

 IWen recollect an incident of that sum- mer. Two friends from ''Guilford N. Y.'' called on us and put up for the night my father and we boys had been hoeing corn that day, well clad in woolen coats, on the old homestead in North Goshen now owned and occupied by Elisha Baldwin.
 On hitching mp our guests team in the morning, in order to tighten the wheels we knocked off with the head of an ax sever al pounds of mud and ice frozen to each wheel
 I am not clear as to the exact day, but think it was near the middle of June. The corn crop, that fall came in missing. Idis- tinetly recollect that while having one day tha summer, 1t showed several times during theday. Grass being exceedingly light farmers saved everything in the shape of folder, even to ''potatoe tops.'' I recollect my Father sold that fall, four dairy COWS at eight dollars per head to Matthew Root theG living on the t'Welton farm in North Goshen" and took his pay in shoe work.
 Mc. Root afterwards moved on to large farm in s'South Norfolk but was shoemaker by trade. So, MT. Editor, your Washington Correspondent will see that we lad cold weather, and snow storms, down in dear old Connecticut in 1916 as wellas in 1874.

Petroleum.

Word reached the city yesterday di-
rect from the Temple claim. The we'll is
now about two hundred feet deep.
The oil Is within four feet of the top
ofthe well with immense volume of gas
escaping. The excitement at the well
and in the neighborhood is intense.
We learn that parties are on the way
from the city ito visit the well to-day
Great credit is due the parties who
have stuck to this enterprise under so
many discouraging circumstances.
They deserve a thousand-barrel we'll.
To Mr.. SPANGLER is due the credit of
the particular location of the place
where the we'll is sunk and to his gen.
ius and enterprise the company are
indebted for their success. Mr.. RAM
sEY, who is at work on the San Fer
nando well, writes that the oil cannot
be pumped out to within forty feet of
the bottom of the we'll, it flows in so
rapidly. This is an excellent quality
Of oil, pronounced equal to any in
Pennsylvania by oil experts direct
from that State. This excitement
must increase. The territory is ex-
extensive and millions will be realized
from it when developed.

four years was too short time to inn
press any policy, however good, upon
the country, and that the second-term
principle was highly Objectionable on
the ground that it opened the door to
ambition, and as a corrolly the first
term was more apt to be devoted to
the interests of party than those of the
country. When his duty was plain
before him, JACKSON was not very
patient recipient of advice from any
source, much less from political ad-
venturers and place hunters who
swarm around the capital like vul-
lures over a dead carcass. This was
very forcibly exemplified at New Or
leans, when an entire Legislature and
large portion of the representatives
of the wealth of that city, including a
high judicial functionary, advised him
to surrender the city to the British,
who were lowering in great force in
the immediate vicinity, to save it
from bombardment and pillage. We
all recollect how he treated this ad-
vice. He placed muskets in their
hands and marched them, under
guard, to the front, and there on the
field of Chalmette made them fight
for their property and the honor of
their country! But, in conclusion, we
truSt that this now moya of Mr.
JAMES LYONS may result in bringing
money to his depleted Golfers, if not
honor to his name; and should he sue
ceed in carrying the Old Dominion for
GRANT the third term, he will merit
high consideration at his hands, and
will doubtless be the recipient of a fat
office, fat salary, fat perquisites and
fat stealings.
