ventional strictures of principal and teacher. They have made many friends here, and it is hoped they will, another season, "build wig wam in the forest" by the 1.-two blue lakes among the rushes." Our Twin Lakes corres- pondent (the incorrigible punster) gives the particulars of kind of surprise party given in honor of the boys previous to their de- parture.
 Tailor Yutzler, after an experiment of four months has come to the conclusion that Canaan is no place for tailor He says styl- ish young men, who are the best customers, do not abound to any considerable extent here, and the old farmers wear the same iden- tical clothes which they wore 25 years ago.. Ready made clothing is also death to tailors, and many prefer to wear cheap ready made clothing rather than pay more for better goods. Fred. will go in company with his father at West Cornwall, and perhaps come to this place once week to take orders. For the present he is ''o-ficially" authorized to can- vass for the CONN.

 Mrs. James B. Watson and daughters, of Lawrence Kansas, are in town visiting relatives and friends. MT. Watson is a native of this town and one of the pioneer settlers in Law renee, having moved there when there were but a few shanties where is now fourishing and beautiful city. When Qantrell and his band of marauders sacked the city during the late war they burned his house and destroyed most of his property. At this time MT. Watson was the Express agent in the city and had in his possession large amount of money as such agent. This he managed to conceal and save from the general plunder, much to the gratitc;,' ton of the Express Company. During this raid 183 of the defenceless inhabitants were rlthlessly shot and the greater part of the town was burned.

 There seems to be sudden and somewhat mysterious development of interest in mili- tary matters along the shore in this county It is reported that movements for the organ ization of companies in this city, Norwalk and Southport but the managers names do not appear in the reports, and information as to the object of the movement is not to be had For legitimate purposes, the militia companies already organized in this county are amply sufficient, and there is no necessity for the or. ganization of any more. It might add some what to the general feeling of security if the organizers of these proposed new companies would stand up and permit public view o1 themselves If their purposes are proper, we presume they will do so

 The Seth Thomas Banking Go. of Thom aston, has recently put in position two new safes The outer door of one is constructed with a combination lock. Just within this door is a second also with combination lock and chronometer attachment besides. Tho latter has two sets of movements either one O which will manipulate the lock- At certain hour they fasten the locks and no one can oper them till at a specified hour the chronomete | throws the combination into gear. The inne door, instead of closing on a beveled jamb swings around to a certain angle where, by motion of lever the door is lifted square into position, leaving not the most minute interstic | co, ;~+ oF tions upon the inside plate of the door fit close ly upon felt packing; other corrugations upol the safe fit into packing upon the door, thu making double security against forcing evel air into the inside.
 The man who says he doesn't believe il advertising is doing just what he deprecates He hangs coats outside of his door or, put dry goods in his windows-thats advertising He has printed cards lying on his counter that's advertising. He sends out drummer through the country, or puts his name on hi wagon-that's advertising He labels his al tcles or his manufactures-that's advertising If he has lost his COW, he puts written nc tce in the post-ofice, or tells his sster-in- n-la1 and that's advertising too. He has his nam put up in gilt letters over the door-what that but advertising? He paints his sho green or red or if tailor, he wears the ls test style; if doctor, he has his boy call hir out of church in haste if an auctioneer, h bellows to attract the attention of passers-by if heavy merchant, he keeps huge pile ( boxes on his sidewalk in front of his store and all for advertising.
 A man can't do business without advert sing, and the question is whether to call to hi aid the engine that moves the world-th printing press-with it's thousands of messer gers working night and day, the steam engin adding to it's repeating capacity untold powe and miraculous speed; or. rejecting all these go back to the days when newspapers, tel graphs and railroads were unknown-Pyin7 erS' Gasette.
