I have long cherished the hope that some day I might own a summer cottage in Sharon, but spend the winters where the oranges bloom; but our dreams and wishes are so unsubstantial. There turks along our every path that dread If of all to-morrows. We know not what day may bring forth. I dare not mentally invest in futures. When I re- member the strong and stalwart men, the beautiful women, and the sweet lit tie ones who have passed into the mys- terious darkness where all is still, am admonished the time is short, What we do for man and God must be done quickly while the pulses beat and the hand is strong. a
 With the tenderest recollection and the highest appreciation and the most ardent hope of happy future for my former rarishoners of Sharon and vicin- ity, I bid them God speed.

Accident at Pitts1aeId

James Kearney, aged 30 and Bernard Norton, aged 21, were instantly killed Saturday night, by being struck by an engine on bridge on the Housatonic railroad, at Pittsfeld. Mary Granger was also struck and died at midnight from her injuries. All were mill opera tives and were going home from a pie nic. Kearney leaves a wife and one child. Norton was engaged to be mar ried to Mary Granger. Over 20 deaths on this bridge have been caused by the cars. The Housatonic railroad is cen sured for maintaining this death-trap bridge. Of course people walk upon it at their own risk, but the public advance the argument that "no one has moral right to erect upon their own land 8 deadly trap for trespassers.

The Seventh Conn. Regiment Reunlou


 The old Seventh Connecticut will hold its reunion in Winsted on Thursday, the 17th of next September. Gen Joseph R. Hawley, Gen Alfred H. Terry and the old chaplain, Wayland, together with about 15O of the rank and file of the regiment will be on hand at roll call.
 This regiment participated in 19 bat ties. It's first engagement was at Fort Pulaska, Ga, and the battle lasted two days, April 10 and Il, 1862. It was in the eight days battle near Bermuda Hundred, Va, from May 10 to May IT, 1864, also in the two days battle al Deep Bottom, Va, August If and 15, 1864, so it virtually was engaged in 2s battles instead of 19.
 During it's service in the field it was frequently recruited and 2090 men serv ed in it's ranks. Its casualties numbered $40 including killed in action, died O. wounds and disease, discharged prior tc muster-out of regiment and 40 missing at date of muster-out of regiment.
 This regiment held reunion at Can aan September 19. 1888. Canaan peo pie cordially welcomed them and royal ly entertained them. We trust tha Winsted people will do likewise.

''It can be said of Grant," observed Gen John B. Gordon of Georgia Sun day evening, ''that he did more for his country in dying than ever he did in his most eventful life. It is an anomaly in history. The man upon either side who says the war is not over now is simply a fool. When the great leader of the Union armies goes to his grave at peace with all, and receiving from the South the same tribute of respect as from the North, it is enough to fill the heart of every true patriot with happiness"

 We received Q pleasant call last Friday, from Rev William H. Ellis, principal of the Peabody institute at Troy, NC. He has been taking need ed vacation, and has been visiting his father and many friends in Southfeld, Mass. The reverend is working beyond his strength, for he teaches five days in the week and breaches twice every Sun- day. He is engaged in mission work in North Carolina, and recently contribut- ed series of interesting letters to The News. He will return south this week and intends to hold series of revival meetings in the churches of which he is pastor. -..
 T. V. Johnson of Forrestville, Conn, son-in-law of Henry J. Mead of Canaan, attended General Grants funeral at New York, August 8. He has kindly written The News an account of his experience that day, also description of the funer- al pageant and the multitude assembled to witness it. Mir Johnson's letter is very interesting, but 1t would occupy nearly two columns of The News, 8 space that we would not feel justified in devoting to it at this late day, inasmuch as everyone has read in the daily papers complete and exhaustive report of the occasion, still we appreciate MT John sons kindness in contributing the ar ticle. The crowd was so great that fab ulous prices were charged for position in windows, or on trucks, drays, or in fact any elevation from which view of the procession could be obtained. Mir Johnson, as last resort, rented an empty soda-water box, and placed it on Fifth avenue, near the new Catholic cathedral, and at that point he remained for three hours perched on his box and viewed the pageant.
