 The following paragraph, which we
 copy from an exchange, expresses, we
 think the feelings of those in charge of
 the public schools, who are always
 pleased when the parents take great in
 terest il local educational matters: Par
 ents visit the schools; see that your
 children are supplied with the necessary
 books and apparatus, and see, too. that
 they are in their proper places in the
 school room each and every day. One
 day lost is removing link from the
 chain that draws them up to higher and nobler sphere when they enter the
 battle of life. Visit the schools and thus encourage the children and teach CT. Show them that you are interested in their progress, aud you will reap the reward in the more rapid advancement.
 Mir Henry Killmer of Falls Village, who is one of the employees on the H. R. R. gravel train, has been employing his time since the train was discontinued and while awaiting it's being started again to gather the ice harvest of the Company, in canvasing for magazine and selling washing machines. Monday afternoon he was going over this place. About half an hour before the Falls Vil- lage special was due, MT Killmer, on his way to the depot via. H. & c. w. railroad track from Church Street, fell into 8 a cattle-guard which he did not see in the darkness, breaking his leg between the knee and ankle. He succeeded in making his condition known to John Hoag and Edward Hillyer, who respond ed to his cry for assistance in time to get him aboard the train for home, where the bones were set by Dr Averill, who says he now has six weeks job of nursing the injured limb.
 Over 50 couple, besides 500 or less ladies and large delegation of the honorary committee" also number of gentlemen whose dancing days are OCT" attended the Masonic reception at Town hall New Years night. The most fastidious or even those most preju- diced against dancing must admit that it was a select company, and 8 most agreeable reception, with no unpleasant features. Prof. Barnard's orchestra of Pittsfeld, furnished most excellent music, and for about an hour previous to the grand march, they entertained the company with delightful concert. This celebrated orchestra is in great de- mand in western Massachusetts and eastern New York, so the lodge commit tee on music considered themselves for tunate in securing their services. They furnished the music for the Masonic an- nual last year, and gave such good sat- isfaction that the committee determined to secure them this year if possible. We can also safely say they have won new laurels for themselves this season. The superb supper at the Warner House was credit to the landlady and was ap- preciated and enjoyed by the guests. Nothing whatever occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion and taken as 8 whole it was the most agreeable recep- tion ever given under the auspices of Housatonic lodge.
