ton to help celebrate our state centennial
and to see the president.
Tuesday morning quite large party left
town en- route for Sohroon lake, where
they intended to camp out, we judge, as
they had with them tents, hammocks and
everything essential to good time, even
good company The party was recruited
at Capt. j. s. Wards, and consisted of the
captain aud his sons and two daughters,
and Mr.. and Mrs Garrison and family of
New Jersey, and possibly others.
Among the visitors in town we would
mention, at Mr.. Benefits, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stuart f Santiago, Cal at Mr.. 5. o.
Jones, MIR. joy OF New Jersey, and son
of President Bdckham OF Burlington Uni-
versity at Dei. Catlins', Mr., and Mrs.
I Gorge Catln of Scranton, Pa. and Miss
Lucia Catlin of Elz ibeth, N. j.; at Mr..
Serene Smiths, DR.. Justin Smith and Mr..
aud Mrs. Abner Smith, all of Chicago; at
| NJ. W. Blngham's, party OF spoIt4men
from Troy, making Mr. BIS their head
quarters. They have secured the country
ia pursuit OF game.
We learn that Asa Smith was accidental
| ~ shot by one OF this p Irty while partridge
| hunting, the chsrge en- ering his arm and
face. OLe hundred aud thirteen No. 8
shot were extracted and at last accounts he
was doing well.
Mr.. aud Mrs. G. N. North and friends
have returned from Lake George after an
absence of week.
We notice that Prof. w. 4. Bascom has
been in town this week, looking after the
interests of Newton academy, it is fair TO
presume. We congratulate tue trustees of
this school that they have been ablo TO Sc
cure euCh a competent man to fill tue posi-
tim of preceptor. Prof Bacon brings
to bis work the good will of his many
friends in Addison county, as well as large
experience as a teacher. In every respect
he is FIRST class man, aud parents having
patronage to bestow upon institutions OF
this kind cannot aft nd to overlook the dd-
vantage' That may be secured by placing
their children under the personal iDsruc-
ton of Prof, Bsscom.
Newton AGA femy is one OF the time-hon-
ored sututlous Of our state and SINCE its
incorporation in 1911 school of the co.,
mon order of our aca 'emy has been sus-
tanned With few iutermitsinns, and who
sh al say that the men who have been edu-
Gated or received their college preparations
AT thus academy have not made some i'm
PREF SION upon the highest interests of The
conf, IS that with pride we point to the
names of Gen. Sllas Ii JennisUn, Hon.
solomon Foot, Byron Sunderland, ID ID.
and Jo.eph Cook, as Il few of the IllustIl-
Gus galaxy that have gone out from the
fostering care of this ins 'ituliOn.
As a town we have occasion to look back
with satisfaction upon the record Of our
academy aud the impress it is making upon
nur young people. May we not reasonably
expect that it shall CONTINUE TO send forth
II en- and women to-, that will honor the
institution and the'town.
