In point of theories, nothing remains to
be said upon the subject Of education; i'll
matter Of practices, the world is yet far
from being salted unto salvation in its ed
ucatonal methods The man who thinks
that the new education involves principles
much younger than the everlasting hills,
may be said, in common parlance, to be
somewhat off. Moreover, such principles
began to be promulgated among men at a
very early day.

DEATH OF II. 1T. COGS WELL.

This community was startled Monday morning by the announcement that MI H. H. Cogswell had died suddenly at a. m. at his residence in this village. Nearly three months ago he was attack. ed with bilious fever, but recovered suf. fciently to visit relatives at Gaylords- vile. Ais strength proved unequal to such journey, however, and soon after his return he suffered relapse, but in due time began to improve again. Shortly afterwards he had chill which prostrated him for few days, but re. gently he appeared to be steadily i'm proving and was able to walk about the house and receive callers. Last Satrlr- day morning he was taken with severe pain in his stomach and liver. He ob- tained relief, however. and seemed to be improving until shortly before his death, which undoubtedly was caused by the breaking of an abscess on his liver.
 Hiram Hubbell Cogswell was born at Hastings, N. Y., March 1, 1918. About a year afterward the family removed to Kent Hollow, Ct., where the subject of this sketch was raised, and resided for nearly 40 years. About 30 years ago he moved to East Canaan and few years very fond of music and had been chor- ister of the church at New Preston. He has been chorister of the Methodist church in this village over 24 years and his service as chorister in different churches extends over 8 period of 40 years. During 13 years he filled the position of conductor on the HousatOnic road and had previously been two years in the company's employ. While the Connecticut Western road was building he had charge of 8 construction train on the western division, and when the road was opened he accepted the position of passenger conductor, which he accept ably filled, but afterwards resigned and for while accepted the position of bag gagemaster at this station that he might live in Canaan with his family. He ex- perienced religion over 35 years ago and united with the Congregational church at New Preston, changing his member ship to the Congregational church at East Canaan on his removal thlther and subseque ntly to the Methodist church of this village. During his last illness his Christian character was beautifully exemplified and he enjoyed sweet com munion with God, and gave frequent testimony to visitors of Gods presence with him. He was charter member of Housatonic Lodge No 61, F. & A. M., and was elected it's first junior warden. Subsequently he was elected master of the lodge and acceptably filled the posi- tion during the year 1879. He leaves a widow. also three sons and two daugh- ters, the children of his first wife who died July 5, 1875.
 His funeral will be attended tomorrow (Thursday) at 1 p. m. at the Methodist church in this village. Rev w. A. Mack ey will conduct the services and be as- sisted by Rev Dr Eddy. The Masonic fraternity will have charge of the burial
