It is called the St. Patrick's Temperance Soci- ety, and will, we think be the means of do- Ing much good. This society united with the Lakeville society and participated in the St. Patrick's day parade at Winsted Though it was very unpleasant day to march, they pronounce their visit to Wins ted, and the lecture by the Rev. w. Harty, on "The Glory of lreland's Struggles and Triumphs." to have been highly enjoyed. ....1 hope you will not think it out of order if 1 suggest that the citizens of Salisbury and Lakeville do something in the way of providing their band neat uniform.

 Mir Reed was . grandson of Elias Reed who came from Norwalk and settled on Town Hill in Salisbury. among the early propristors of that town. The family were among the original proprietors of the town of Cornwall, and at the death of the father, John-one of several sons, came in posses sion of the Cornwall lands. There three sons, of whom John B., tho subject of this notice, was the second, were born. About 1906, the family removed 10 South Canaan and there Cn the old homstead. the long life just closed, was spent. He entered early on the various duties of a citizen, and possessed during his long life, the confi- dence of the people in high degree. We are informed that he had been called officially to apprise at different times large part of the property in South Canaan, and not little of it several times. The interest of the parish and church were very dear to him, and his hand was opened freely to thelr wants. But, although enjoy ing christians hope and living a christian life he did not enter into covenant with the church until the week before his death On the first Sabbath in March in usual health he celebrated his Savior's death in the sacrement, for the first and last time. On the Thursday night following he had a paralytic attack and on Sabbath afternoon he was called home.

 We still have quite good slcighing. and winter weather promises with favorable outlook for long continuation of the same, notwithstanding the insane idea that the weather prophets seem to have, that gentle spring is at hand. 1.-The tramps still swarm about the hotel and are enter tained literally at the expense of the town. and as long as the town authorities main - tain that their course in regard to them is the proper one, l suppose that we private citizens must holG our peace, but it does seem that little iudicious discrimination ought to be used as to whether all vaga- bonds that gather here and demand assis , tance are deserving to be treated SO man. fully or not, for instance, about ten days ago three drunken scoundrels staggered down the street about sunset, yelling and hooting and addressing every one they met with abusive and disgusting language. They applied at the hotel for lodging and food at the towns expense, and were directed to obtain an order from 2 selectman. They left and went to Mr. Woodward's store, procured piece of paper and forged an order, returned and presented 1t, but the forgery being detected they were simply compelled to go and get bona fide order, and after doing SO were loged and fed and were allowed to depart in peace .1Is it chaii. ty to assist such williams 1 should think 1t was not. they ought rather to have been arrested for forgery, and dealtIwith accord ing to law, but the powers that be, here, are 30 tender hearted that they shrink from 50 disagreeable a task...

The Lakeville Band.-Our esteemed East Canaan correspondent says 50 good band as the Lakeville band, which furnish ed muslc for our irish citizens at their celebration of St. Patricks' day in Winsted ought not be permitted to go without a suitable uniform. It is an excellent idea and ought to be acted upon. What do you think about it?
 Mill River Telegraph. are inform cd that Messrs Carol and Stanard of Mill River, have in contemplation the erection of telegraph from the station at Ashley Falls to Mill River. This valuable auxillia- 1 ry to MT. Carols business has been delayed much longer than one would suppose Mr. C's known enterprise would permit it to be. A single line wire would be sufficient, and the cost could not be very heavy.
 The Exeursion to Winsted.-One of the largest, (and we think much the largest of anY) excursion trains thst ever run ts Winsted entertainment, run from Millerten last Friday evening to witness "Uncle Tom's Cabin" played by the Norfolk Dramatic Association. When the train left this station there were about seventy passengers, and when it arrived at Wlnsted, ss we pcrtlicted in last weeks NEWS. it was indeed heavily loaded. Music Hall was full, absolutely full, scarcely a seat remain ing unsold, and this most worthy Associa- tion of local talent was greeted with one of the largest audiences of the very best class of people of the county. Of the play it is hardly necessary to go into the details. It was exceedingly we'll rendered, seemed to be in substance the unanimous expression of all whom we have heard allude to it j; the various phases of the play seldom failing to draw evidences of their perfec- ton in rendering, by their visible emotional effect upon the audience. While the wildly portrayed death bed scenes of little l Eva and St Clare invited handkerchiefs to the tear bedimmed eyes of great number, the capers and antics of one who was never permitted to know she had even an origin; kept down to the lowest order of existence, not permitting her to realize she was anybody, but 8 sort of-well, thing! nothing more nor less than sort of thing ''what growed of her self," never failed to change the tears of sadness into tears of mirth, mingled though they might have been ID some cases, with a sense of pity that human nature, even under the accursed bondage and dsgrada- tion of slavery, was capable of being brought to a state of such utter and abso. lute ignorance, accompanied, as it was in this most excellent rendering of Mrs. Stowe's character, ''Topsy," by that per feet abandon found in those who, "knov nothing fear nothing" The association is composed of twenty-one members, who represent twenty-four characters.

 We have but n,ournful tribute to offer this week. Quite a number are sick and two have died. ...... Charlie Northrop died on the 9th inst, aged seven years, and on the 10th inst, Mr. Bennett Monroe, both of pneumonia, the prevailing diseasr. MT. Monroe was the oldest man in the place, being in his s2nd year. Although his eccentricities caused him to be the butt of many joke by the thoughtless who were wont to forget his grey hairs, yet he was acknowledged by all to have been an industrious and strictly honest man, and went down to his grave, literally worn out with the labor and vexstion which attended his four score years. Close upon the no tice of his death, we were pained to learn of the death in Minnesota, of Calvin P. ChAffee, formerly of this place.. He will be remembered as a genial, accommoda- ting neighbor, kind husband and father. Although he had his faults, (and who has not7 yet he will be long remembered for his excellent qualities of head and heart. We are experiencing thaw and it is fog over head and slush, slush, slush, under foot. We have had another of these peri odical town meetings and expect another of the same, soon.
