MT. Blacks cottage at Point Beautiful at the lake is ready for occupancy. We understand he will reside there till about the middle of October This appears to us a wise proceed ing, for the months of September and October are two of the pleasantest months of the whole year. Then the hills and valleys begin to change their unrelieved green for all the hues of the rainbow, and the earth is like revol- wing panorama, the sun rising each successive day upon new views, brighter landscapes and more lovely colors. And this change makes each day seem a glimpse of a new world The bright, crisp, crystal days, when the atmos- phere is so clear you can see to the "uttermost ends of the earth" and the cool, nvigoratng northwest breeze which fans one into such buoyancy of spirits. and delight of life that one 'walks the invisible air" and sips the dews of heaven Then there are the dreamy, wist- full hay days, with now and then feathery, snowy white cloud lazily floating across the dimly obscured blue of heaven, when one feels within him hidden something stirring him to saunter forth and rambe whithersoeer he listeth at last fnging himself, Dolce Jar nie'ate upon the grass under some tree on an eminence where the eyes take in broad expanse of the decorated autumnal earth, and stretch of the vaulted heavens, there to lie, 'fancy free," and drink to surfeiting of the beauty winch the great Unknown has provided, and find sense of joy in existing. Yes MT. Black has done well we'll to wait for the days which will come. He will receive an abundant reward.
 Saturday, while driving over to their son. in-law's, Mr. Robert Whitteseys, MT. & Mrs. Noah Hatch met with quite an accident. Their horse became frightened and ran away down the hill this side of Mir. W.'s, flinging both of them out of the carriage. MT. Hatch was hurt the more seriously of The two, receiving some hard bruises about the head and face besides getting a tremendous shaking. AS might be expected the vehicle will have to be taken to the wagon-makers and made over agaIn #.
 MT. Geo. A. Edwards, of Burlington, a whilom member of the once far-famed T. U. Orchestra, has been making his many friends glad by visiting them the past week. Of course he brought along his flute and delighted the ears of many with it's dulcet tones.
 Mrs. M. s. Beeman, who for some weeks has been visiting friends in this vicinity, start. ed for her home in Litchield, Ill.,, last Thurs day.
 The editor of the Winsted News says, ''He is happy who has conquered laziness once and forever" We've all along thought twas Hayes being president that made him 80 un- happy, and we never before could satisfactori- ly account for our own great happiness and the crushing sorrow of the citizens of New Preston. .-... Miles Camp, who is ninety years old this month, started Monday, the Sth inst, for Ohio to see one of his grandsons married Now, if there is another man anywhere who is as old in years and as young in spirit as Mir Camp, we should like to hear from him.
 The village school commenced last Mon- day, again under the efficient management of Mrs. A. E. Corning This will be good news to the sinners, roach and other small fish.
 MT. Editor, last week we wanted to say that boarders were leaving. We didn't want to say it in such a bare, undressed manner as that, however, so we cudgeled our brains and at last-happy thought were sure we had hit ] upon something smart and not like anything anybody else would say. So we remarked that the cool September days had come and city visitors find campers were folding their tents and like the Arabs silently stealing away Now you don't know how sorry we are that we said it. What did we see but in the article from the Gunnery camp that they didn't fold their tents and like the Arabs silently steal away. Then, according to the Housatonic Ray, city folks in New Milford are like the Arabs, silently stealing away and the News remarks likewise that some strangers in Dan bury are like the Arabs, silently stealing away. Next the Newtown Bee says somebody like the Arabs, etc., and even the New York Times harps on the same string the same strain that, 'the cool days of the presen, month will cause the wanderers to fold theil tents and like the Arabs silently steal away te their city homes," etc. And other papers toe hume rous to mention have the same 'tstea awayp in fifty different sharps and flats, and the next time we make a quotation it will be something that all of our fraternity canno, fold and silently steal away" if we have te | manufacture it ourselves and lie about it after wards '.-' k '
