 When the new school house was built if was ample for the then needs of the dis trict, though purposely planned to meet reduirements for enlargements sure to come some time. That need has come from the natural growth of the village, and accepting that as the case, we can face the need with due complaceney. The question now is-shall we enlarge, or lit up rooms for other schools outside? A canvass ot parents in the east part of the village shows decided preference for having the children accommodated in the one school building. It Is a permanent, not tenn porary need we are facing, and shall we do permanent work or adopt makeshift plan in meeting it :? It is nonsense to talk of opposition to expending more money on school buildings. The laws of Con- necticut require that we have suitable public school accommodations, and no op- position can avail to stop it. Let the best judgment of the district be exercised, and a plan adopted which will be the best for now and also for coming years rs-whatever that plan may be.
 Probably the excursion of last season best enjoyed by those who patronized it was one through Hoosac Tunnel to North Adams and return The time was about the middle of September, and the scenery over the entire route was lovely, enhanced as 1t was by the beautiful autumnal tiuts of foliage. Portions of the vallies of the Connecticut and Deerfeld river are travers- ed. also the scarcely less enjoyable noun tain scenery of Leveret and Montague, as well as that of the vicinity of the tunnel. Passing the tunnel the excursionists are left in the beautiful village of North Ad- ans, where they wonder not so much over the need of the big tunnel by which they have entered this mountain glrted hamlet as at the fact that any railroad from any direction can getin or out of it except by digging. The novel experience of ride of nearly five miles under ground is one only of many attractions of the trip. Next Saturday similar excursion will be made, special train leaving Stafford Springs at S.15 a. m., and taking passengers from here and from stations north, fare for the round trip being $2 from all stations be- tween Stafford Springs and Dwights in- elusive, and will arrive at North Adams at 12.35 D. m., and leave on the return trip at B. 15 D. m. Passengers who wish can take carriage ride from North Adams over the mountain to the east portal of the tunnel. A special train will also leave New London at 8. m., South Coventry at 8.16, South Wilmington at $50, and Holland and Willington at 838, stopping at all stations to accommodate passengers south of Stafford Springs, but will not take passengers north of the last named station, as these will be served by the special from Stafford Springs. Fare from stations south of Stafford Springs also &. Both trains will arrive at and leave North Ad- Dams at about the same time.
 The sale of the Foxville school house property at auction on Wednesday next, at 2 D. m., is coming event which real estate speculators will do well to make a note of.
 The Chautauqua Circle will hold its second meeting at the M D. church par lors, Friday, Sept. 24, at 730 p. m. All whoxare interested in the 0. l.. s. C., and those who wish to join the circle, will be welcome. ssSfef
