The success of the Read Carpet Co.'S Car pets is something wonderful, commencing a few years ago making not more than five or six thousand yards per month they have in creased to an enormous production which is all mediately taken up by such leading houses as A. T. Stewart & Co.,, & w. & s. Sloane, N. Y. They are not only the handsomest designs, many of them rivalling the best Body Brus- sells, but they are superior in quality to any Carpet made, and are sold at prices lower than the same grade of any other make.

 Barkhamsted's first settler did not come there till 1746. Few followed at first. After the sack of Danbury six Tory families left that l place to escape persecution, and settled m Pleasant Valley. Here however, they found l dislike waiting them, and the sins of the fath- CTS were visited upon the children from gen. eration to generation till few remained to en- dure further persecution. A few deserters from Burgoyne's army seem to have met with better treatment. The story of the famous 'Barkhamsted Light House" is told by Mir. Lee as follows:
 An Indian, named Chaugham, who was a native of Block Island. but married a white woman in Wethers1eld, had established his family on the summit of the hill on the north bank of the Pennington river, and the stage road which followed the river over the moun- tain ran by his house. The light in the house of evenings could be seen long distance and the stage drivers got in the way of calling it the lighthouse.
 The pines having been cleared off (there used to be 32 sawmills in the town) and the land being poor for farming purposes, there has been but little if any increase in popula- tion except from the manufacturing interests of Hitchcocksville (now Riverton) and Pleas ant Valley. Many natives of Barkhamsted have become prominent elsewhere. Among those now living we notice the names of James Phelps, exJudge of the Superior Court, and the present Member of Congress from the New Haven District; Judges Merrill of Hartford and Slade of Bridgeport; Hon. Elisha John- son, of Hartford, and many noted diyines and ] doctors

and millions are growing mp without the
knowledge and love of God Why Because
three hundred years ago lths land was disin-
herited and robbed by the wickedness of man,
the light of Catholic faith WAS extinguished.

but the alta,s were pulled down, and the name
OF Our Blessed Mother was taken away ont of

children. Not SO in country close by US.

pie who speak the same tongue, who are OF the

country men, who are our brothers. There,
since St. Patrick preached, the light of faith
has never been extingnished. Belief in jesus
and the Sacrament of the Altar, love of the
Holy Mass, have never failed love and piety
towards his Blessed and Immaculate Mother
has never been chilled Up oa the mountains

Christ" There !are men whose intellectual
pride cavils and perverts, cIiticses and dis

What shall we say of tbemf That they are |
impious, and that it is the want of the love of
truth which causes this abberration of the hu- |
man mind when it is once grown to maturity. |
In childhood the privation of which 1 spoke
