VAN DEUBEN FAMILY PICNIC
At Twin Lakes September I, 1sS6

At Twin Lakes September I, 1SS6.
 The annual gathering and picnic of the Van Deusen family, appointed for Tuesday, August 31, received cold wave, making it necessary to adjourn until the day following, when the att tendance was all that could be desired. The day was fine and every one seemed determined upon having royal good time. Dinner was served at o'clock sharp to sharp appetites. All were loud in vote of thanks to E. W. Warner for the barrel of clams rolled off at the sta tion and to M. N. Decker and Eddie Van Deusen for the coop of broilers un- loaded from their wagon for the occa- sion. The party numbered about 60 and the attitudes and positions of the gorg- CTS can better be imagined than de- scribed after partaking lightly(?) of the many good things provided.
 To enjoy, to appreciate a family gath ering of this description one must be one of them. The afternoon passed quickly and when supper was announc- ed many were 10th to break the groups in which they were holding such friend ly union and exchanging the little fam ily condolences that such occasions are likely to bring about. Old Sol was well behind the western mountain when the party broke up and the final good-byes were said.
 May these bright spots in persons lifetime continue from year to year is l the sincere wish of ONE OF FEM.

 Last week we simply noted the fact that our Sunday school excursion train came near eoliding with an extra freight. There were so many rumors afeat at that time that it was impossible to form any just conclusion with regard to the cause. The company have inves- tigated the matter and have discharged Dennis Heating, the assistant at this station, on the ground that he had re- celved and answered telegram to hold the freight. This hardly seems to sat- isfy the public. It is the general ina. precision that William P. Lawrence o1 Dennis Keating could not fail to carry out their orders, and it will take strong proof to convince Norfolkers to the con. trary, as Lawrence and Keating have both seemed cautious and faithful il the discharge of their duties.

From Railway Collision at Norfolk,
 August 25--The Facts in the Case
 Superintendent McNeilIs Letter.
 The News of September 1 chronicled the fact that on August 27 an excursion train and an extra freight on the Il. x 0. W. railroad barely escaped colll- sion near the summit at Norfolk. We also stated that the railway officials would soon furnish The News the bottom facts in the case.
 Superintendent McNeill, under date of September 3, writes us as follows con- cerning the affair: "The facts of the case as near as I can get at it-and the proof is convincing-are that an order was sent to Norfolk to hold the freight. This order was received by Heating, the assistant agent, and acknowledged by him, and he failed to flag the train or to notify MT Lawrence, the agent. As l have said, the proof of this is convincing and he has been discharged"

-Forty-nine persons from Canaan and adjoining towns went on the GAL R. excursion to Bridgeport last Monday.
 Last week could appropriately be called "tobacco week." for nearly the entire crop of the weed was harvested. It is in excellent condition and if the market is not overstocked the tobacco growers will be happy again and their faces, which have been wofully long the past year, will resume their natural length and the barbers can afford to shave them for 10 cents, which is cer- tainly cheaper and pleasanter than being shaved by tobacco buyers.
