 MT. Benton gave very interesting description of ancient Jereusalem at the chapel, last Thursday night. Having en- loyed considerable travel in the eastern countries. his description was very strik- ing, and was listened to with intense in- terest.
 Another Harwinton man, living near. ly in the heart of that respectable town ship, wishes I would report the bad con dition of several roads. mentioning espec- ially the ''Granny Fairchild road," and two or three others. Some he described as hardly passible; others passible in the Oay tune Due dangerous at night. de says ''the repairing of the roads having been delayed until after planting, fur ther delay, until after having. is in pros pect. But why complain at all? By us- ing a little charity, the roads can be made to do duty in their present condition. Al. low the road contractors another post pon ment.- and snow will probably cover the ground which if trod down will make fair road. If this plan would only be acted on large expense would be saved somebody. My experience is that liar. winton road is about as impossible aftel it has been repaired, as before. Tougl clods being thrown on. many of the cross roads remain rough and uneven through the whole season.
