A wAIF.

Her dress Is ragged and torn and old,
Her feet are bare, aud the day Is cold;
Some shaving ottrls on her shoulders fnll,
And a train is made of n worn-out shawl,
Some flowers that once were n beauty's pride,
And now aro withercd and thrown aside,
She holds as close as her fingers can,
While crumpled hand-bill serves for n fan.
You would never have guessed, rs you saw
her there, -
with those withered fiowors and feet nj, bare
That the gloomy street was q Brilliant hall
Ana she dancing there; tte bcllo of tho ball.

George Washington has firm hand
and likes little ornament, making
loops and twists when there is no need
for them. To affect this he left out his
full name, letting the initial G stand for
George. His failure to put a period af-
ter the abbreviation was probably due
to haste rather than lack of education.
Perhaps he thought the compositor
ought to do the punctuating,

The EIderage school.

The closing exercises of this we'll known school on Sherman avenue in this city oc- cured yesterday morning in the presence of patrons and invited guests that filled the spacious pastors. The rooms were exoui- sitely decorated with flowers and festooned with evergreens. The exercises consisted of piano solos and duets by the young ladies and of recitations by various pupils. Sel- dom if ever has one been permitted to hear such finished recitations by young people. The entire absence of the affected and stagey manners and tones of young elocutionists, the ease. grace and faultless methods of the speakers, lent @ rare charm to the exercises. The Misses Bangs, the accomplished ladies who conduct the school, have made the Elderage credit to New Haven, so famous for superior schools.
 The Elderage is patronized by many prom inent families in our own city, while it's boarding pupils come from distant States, and even South America.
 The accomplished corps of teachers, the personal oversight of the young ladies in their entire education, literary, social and moral, and the refining atmosphere that al- ways surrounds the pupils, render this school one of the most desirable boarding schools for young ladies whose parents would feel assured that every part of their education ano welfare is carefully conserved.

Merritt Ford was sitting in his residence in Milford with his wife, Mrs. Ford noticed smoke issuing apparently from the house and rushing down stairs found the house in flames in the back part. She assisted MT. Ford, who is blind. to place of safety. The neighbors soon rallied, but the flames made such rapid prog ress that soon the whole place was envel- oped in flames and destroyed. But little of the household furniture and clothing could be saved. The origin of the fire is unknown. The neighbors vied with each other in ren- dering assistance and extending hospitality to MT. and Mrs. Ford The house was a sub stantial residence and owned by MT. Ford and was probably insured MT.

The Races or The Agricultural Society Yesterday-Much Interest In
 The Town And Vicinity.
 The third spring meeting of the Southing- ton Agricultural society took place yesterday. The society has half-mile track located in little pocket in the hills. On all sides the blue-topped mountains present their green sides and shut out the spot from the rest of the world. About the track many teams were drawn up containing those fair daugh- ters of whom Southington is so proud, while on the grand stand her hardy sons ate pea nuts and talked over the merits of the seve- ral horses The pool sellers did not reap a harvest, not having the sporting spirit of the larger meetings to work upon. The track is well laid out and in the fall of 1883 Driver trotted a mile in 2:251s, the fastest mile made on half-mile track on the circuit. Not having watering facilities the dust blow ing from the track was quite objectionable, clouds of it flying every time the horses passed. Of course all the prominent people of the town were present, including "Port," the tlocal grist mill,n as a gentleman explained it. The races were not very exciting, they being decided in three straight heats. In the 2:35 class the horses scored frequently before get ting away
 In the three minute class Lady Dolphin had the pole, Joe second, Clair B. third, Jeffersonian fourth and Nose on the out side.
 Clair B. got the start and kept it to the three-quarters where he broke and Lady Dol phin went ahead and for the rest of the heat held the place. Time 2:51 3-4.
 On the second heat Nose started ahead with Lady Dolphin following. At the three quarters Nose broke and Lady Dolphin shot along and won the heat. On the stretch Jeffersonian and Nose came down neck and neck. Time BAY.
 Nose got bad start in the third heat and just after passing under the line Clair B went into the air. Lady Dolphin got her place in advance and won the race in three straight heats Time 2:46 1-2.
