ISOLATION proposes making Centennial
cheese for exhibition at Philadelphia,
the cheese to weigh twenty-five thousand
pounds. 1t will require one days milk
of twenty thousand cows. A car will
have to be made on purpose for it, and
the cheese put in press on the car, as it
should not be handled. And what
good will result from the exhibition of
such monster cheese that will entail
sach useless expenditure of money

 Our fellow townsman, Hon. B. W. Seymour, has taken the stump for Tilden and Hendricks.
 Cadet Midshipman Edward B Web ster. of this rlace, was last week dis missed from the Naval Academy, at An napolis, for refusing to testify before board of investigation that were inquir- ing into the matter of 'hazing" new Ca dets. Webster was asked to ''give the names of every upper-classman that he had seen hazing." He consistently refus- ed to answer .his question. Hence his dismissal. It ought to be easy enough for the authorities to find ont and punish the offenders by the evidence of the vic- tims, without requiring classmates, to play the spy and informer on their com rades, and we hope they will hasten to recommend the restoration of the dismiss ed Cadets, after vindicating the discipline of the Academy.
 On Saturday last two ardent sports men "might have been seen" skimming along the shores of our Lake in search of game ; at last duck(D was espied. and the skiff flew through the water with be- wildering speed : one gallant hunter piled the oars, while the other eagerly watched the fowl as the distance lessened between pursuers and pursued it was an exciting moment, and our Nimrod was almost un- nerved, ,(so much so indeed that he put in about half gill of shot in addition to the regular charge) but he braced up and brought the gun to his shoulder, shut his eyes, and fired the deadly weapon hurled the missiles of death and destruc- tion at the doomed bird (to say nothing of kicktmg. the boat backward about thlr- ty feet * the smoke cleared away and To at distance of two or three hundred feet, the duck was paddling toward the eastern shore: again and again was the engine of. death discharged. but at last the prey was run aground: victory was se- cured, but the duck(D was of the"dipper" variety and visions of roast duck, with liquid trimmings, faded into obscurity.

real interest than I supposed could be seen on the whole l80 acres. The butter woman still attracts the thousands who visit the Woman's Department, but some fear to be borne along in the crowd con- tlnually passing in front of her. There are such vast numbers of pictures and paintings in the Art Gallery that visitor ought to have a week there. And then what wonderful show of articles manu- factured in Connecticut, as we'll as the wonderful machinery from our state con- tlnually operated by men and womeh from the Nutmeg state. But the mighty Corliss engine came from Rhode Island, and it seems like child's play for it to move all the machinery in that vast Hall. It is very warm now. but there was good fire blazing in the fireplace in the Con- necticut house those damp days last week. Those wooden nutmegs look very natnraL but not any more so than the smoked wooden ham hanging near the fire. You can meet hundreds of Connecticut people l at that house, and can see the names of our people on the great book. H. N.

Mir. Stephen Pettibone and mother, from Angona, Iowa, have been in town during the past week; also MT. John Bald win, ofWaterbury; MT. David Osborn, of New Britain;. Mir. Newton Perkins, of Hartford; Mrs. Geo. Hendee and children, of Waterbury.
 Mir. Charles N. Batch is maxi ng a two weeks visit at Philadelphia.
 MT. Albert Alfred has been Cunning in New. Preston all summer. He captured his bird last Wednesday evening, and the next day he brought her home to his ''cage," which he has been regilding and enlarging of late, to make it fit residence for so fair bride. The Calithumpians visited them last Saturday night. but af- ter pounding on kettle drums and tin pans vigorously for two hours, they failed to rouse the bridegroom. and they had to retire for once, as thirsty as they came.
 The writing school at Campville has now closed. The number of Mir. Naylor's scholars has increased since our first re- port of the school, and this knight of the pen has instructed a score of youthful Campvilleites in the art of welding his favorite weapon. elegantly and beauti full ly.
 -Campville seems to be an enterpris- ing place, for singing school is now talk ed of
 Miss Emma Butler, of Campville, commenced teaching school in the fourth district, on Monday of this week. May she give as good satisfaction as she has done elsewhere. Miss Nettie Read, also of Campville, is to teach in the 9th di s. trict, this winter.
 We attended the prayer meeting at Widow Halls, in Campville, Sunday evening. Mir. Albert Hine of Watertown, presided, and had the meeting pretty much to himself, as no one helped him, though the attendance was large. mostly boys, who were little too "demonstra- tive" for good breeding; however we were glad to see the mistress of the house check them. when they were ''going lit tie too far;" and after the meeting closed she gave them a lecture for bringing a ''jug of cider" to the meeting a week be- fore. The last half of the meeting was occupied by singing and when we lefs, after the meeting had closed, the ''boys' were singing most sonorously. Mir. Hine means we'll, and works hard, but the re- suit of his labors here is doubtful.
 MT. F. R. Starr preached to large and interested audience, at the Chapel, in East Litchfeld last Sunday.
 The young people of East Ltchfeld held a'"party" at MT. Ben. Bissell's, last Thursday evening. We have enjoyed many good times at Mr. Bissells in days past and gone, but this time they forgot to invite LITTLE GHoNNIE.

NorthneId

Among your Northfeld items, Oct. 18th, quite friendly noticei is made of the Episco- pal Church here. Justice however requires that the estimate of Sunday school teach CTS be given at five, for We only reckon about twenty-five scholars. Also, that the expense of the improvements be reckoned at very near two hundred dollars. To the Ladies Society of the parish we owe it, that the interior of the Church Edifce has been thoroughly renovated, and painted in oil colors, according to the modern style of color decoration. Ceiling, ultra marine; beams and rafters French grey, with chamser. red; walls soft pearly grey. The woodwork of chancel furniture and seats throughout being Of chestnut shows the natural grain and gives a mass of color bordering on yellow, while the deep red of tasteful carpet, covering floor of chancel and nave throughout, offsets and balances the colors above refer red to. The carpet itself cost about one hundred dollars. A large new stove has just appeared in place of the old one.
 Our Cabinet Organ Granddaughter sev- eral years use proves q very good one. and so Hall and Whiteley's Tunes for the Hymnal, and our young lady organist, very regularly in her place, fully eqnals the expectations held of her and we only may add that the singing is hearty, like many other things in this old parish. Considering our numbers there are good share of singers, and the children are also growing up fond of Sunday school and church music. May all do as we'll ;. and all that can, do better, writes
 ONE WHO KNOWS.
 -Northfeld has about dozen street lamps. They give us quite the appear ance of city in the day time. Why not light them at night.
 We are glad to see the pleasant face of our assistant organist, James Catlin, back from the Centennial. ....---
 The water or malaria of Philadelphia is making business good for the M D.'s in this vicinity.
 A slight fire was discovered in the house occupied by Mrs. Washington, but by quick work the house was saved.
 Potatoes and butter are very scarce
 Tt is evident that Mir. ellen" Mun- ger has formed himself into a V. I. s. He has improved the walk in front of his house very much. Hope others will fol- low his example.

I can't give you any Goshen news, as I am in Philadelphia. On the. way down
 we came across Mir. and Mrs. Wm. Buell.,
 three daughters and two neices, all Buell's,
 who formerly lived ln the north part of Litchield. but now come from Plymouth.
 There was large company from Litch- field county. There is no difficulty in crossing New York in time to take the Ferry at the foot of Liberty Street which takes us to the cars on the new line, which start about 1.30, landing us in Philadel- phia between four and five o'clock. We went through beautiful country, with fields of wheat and droves of COWS feed ing, with their heads all one way. Some from our county board five miles from the Centennial grounds; we have very good place and have to go but one mile, with horse cars close by. Yesterday morning I went to the First Baptist church of West Philadelphia. and happened to be seated with MT. and Mrs. Ed. Fl. Clapp, of Spruce Street, Mrs. Clapp IS sister of the late Dr. Beckwith, of Litchfeld In the afternoon went with thousands to see Mir. Wanamaker's mission Sabbath School of 147 teachers and 2,S00 scholars. There was room for only eight hundred visitors who were admitted half an hour before the school began. took the pre- cauton to be in front of the door an hour before the time, and the crowd of gentle men and ladies from every state in New England, and I think from every Western state, moved slowly, and just as an Iowa lady forward of me reached the second ksteps the. door closed. and the thousands reluctantly gave it up. The children sang very well, speaking their words distinctly.
 When left home, one neighbor said, "I am glad you are going, for when we ask you what you saw you will not reply everything, as all others do." I have been in but two days yet, and of course have not visited half the buildings. and ought to spend ten days in those have seen. I had read so many accounts O.

Many readers of the En quirer who live within ten miles of old Judea, will be pleased to hear that Mrs. Mary A. Liver more will lecture in our Hall on Tuesday evening, Nov. 18th. Of all those who have lectured here, Mrs. Livermor has afforded the greatest delight to the great est number of hearers. The moon will be favorable, our roads are excellent, our Hall still new, and all things promise a good time-Come. F. W. G.
 At any period it is curious to look back, and read records of seventy-fve or 8 hundred years ago, and in this our Gen. tennial year peculiarly So. For instance we find that in Oct. 1900, the school dis trict in Calhoun St. voted, that wood shall be eight shillings per cord, fit for fire; and board shall be six shillines per week" That seemed to be for winter school, for in May 1902 it was voted that board for school dame shall be2 shil- lings pence, per week." Cheap living then, and the shilling wood was burned in fire place for in Oct. of 1902, they .vo- ted to get thew hand-irons, and chair. " Three years later they bought stove, which was to cost sixteen dollars, In 1906 they voted to pay Norman Lemon eleven dollars fifty cents per month by the year for four months, to begin 17th, Nov. 1806." Probably the district knew what was meant, but it looks little mix ed now. In 1909 they indnlged in 8 "peal and tongs, at an expense of one dollar fifty cents. In 1914 wood had ad- vanced to ''three dollars per cord, cut for the stove, said wood to be estimated by the committee, Calvin Calhoun, R. M.
