George Goats, who died on the 9th
inst, has been an inmate of the Reform
School at Waterbury until quite re-
Gently. He took severe cold during
the early part of the winter, and failed
rapidly; was sent home few weeks
since. During his term at Waterbury
he had won the confidence of the officers
of the school, was The engineer in the

The series of meetings held under the
charge of the Y. M. q. A. was well at
tended and profitable, adding to the re-
ligious life of many, and inducing some
to begin Christian career.
The roads are as yet very bad, from
the fact that the snow-b anks show such
a willingness to linger in the lap of
spring. A little more energy on the
part of some of the highway surveyors
would have materially fastened their
departure. .
The ladies of the east section of the

benefit of all the people. OF it more at
some future time.

though the soil, which is clay, is quite
too wet in many places. AS sugar
making is not prominent industry, our /.
people are not complaining of this ''off !
year.
