hope somewhat dampened when the day

A RPRISE


Last evening about fifty people assembled
at the house of Ebenezer Willis, No. 439
George street, the occasion being the presen-
tation of farewell gift to Ashley L. Willis
on the eve of his departure for his new field
of labor general secretary for the Y. NJ. c.
A. at Morristown, N. J. The young men
who were members of the class with Mr.
Willis in the Sunday school of the Trinity
M. E. church, and the members of the Young
Mems Praying league of the same church,
united in giving Mr.. Willis avery handsome
black walnut rolling top house desk. The
Rev. John Morse, the teacher of the class,
made the presentation speech in a few well
chosen words. Mr.. Willis was completely
taken by surprise, but was able to reply in a
brief and feeling manner to the presentation
speech in general way, preferring to thank
the donors separately as he could.
Refreshments were then served and soon
after the party broke up, wishing Mr.. Willis
all possible success in his new field of labor

SoUTH1NGToN, Sept. 29.-The Southington
fair opened at the park yesterday. In the
early morning the sun came out for short
time and then hid itself behind the clouds
and the shower augured bad weather and an
other postponement, but the day frightened
up towards noon and in the afternoon the
weather was fine. The morning hours were
taken up with viewing the exhibits in the
bition of the live stock. The large tent at
the right of the main entrance Attracted
everybody In this tent there was an exhi-
bition of agricultural products, and such an
excellent exhibition as was never before seen
in this town. The Southington grangers'
space was occupied by pyramid surmount-
| ed by dome. The pyramid and dome was
fifteen feet in height and the sides of the
dome, six in number, were covered with
grasses The base was twenty one feet by
sixteen and shelves ranged up the sides of
the pyramid to the dome and were laden
| with fruits, flowers and baking, and the de-
Sign was much admired. On one of the
| tables was an ornamental lighthouse
of marigold. The Cheshire grange
had fine exhibition, but not as good as at
the Statef air. The Cheshire Farmers club
had their famous decorated wagon. The
wagon misunderstanding raised on farm.
A large horn twelve feet in length rested in
the wagon and contained small vegetables.
Fruit dishes made of pumpkins contained
pears apples, etc. Crook-necked squash
served as flower vases. The whole thing was
quite novel and was gotten up by M. G. Doc
little and Edgar Beadle. The managers of
the Bay State fair desired to have
this cart exhibited at Boston, but
were not liberal in their offer.
ons side of the tent contained various exhib-
its of all kinds of farm produce. The whole
was much better than last year. The ladies'
industrial department in the exhibition
building was ahead of last year. The stock of
thoroughbreds numbered sixty-six, compris-
ing Holstiens, Jerseys, Guernseys and Dew
ons. The largest string of cattle came from
Cheshire and numbered seventeen head.
The best team by single individ-
ual was owned by G. F. Ramlin.
In the exhibition of strength cattle weighing
over 5000 pounds, G. F. Hamlin took first
and third and w. M. Case second premiums.
Under 5000 pounds A. F. Barnes took first,
Patrick Coleman second.
The races began promptly at one o'clock.
The judges were 7. O. King OF Hartford, A.
H. Gilbert of Ansonia, and William Parker
of Meriden. The three-minute class had for
starters J. H. Otis b. m. Voltine; j. A.
Knowlton's b. m. Matte Messenger; Allen

comedy itself the Providence Journal says:
''Talked About" is a very clever comedy
drama, descriptive of New England life,
which has been eminently successful else
where, but is an entire novelty here. 1t is
said to happily combine the comedy and

Mr.. G. A. Clapp of E. P. Dutton &

referring to books in which pages were
missing or signatures transported,
said: "As a rule, the public does not

Not long ago the American News
Company handled reprint of Dick
ems 'Pickwick Papers, in which
there was inserted by mistake an en-
tire signature from Nicholas Nickle-
by. This was striking error, yet
only ten copies out of about a thous.
and that were sold were returned to
the News company" These were
cheap books and the buyers may
have thought it not worth while tc
chase after the company for so cents
but another consideration may have
been at the bottom of the small per
centage of the damaged books return
ed. The average American reader
jumps through book instead of read
ing it, and it is no doubt true tina

of "Picwick Papers" glanced hastil.

Why Young Men Fail.

Young men often fail to get on in
the world because they neglect small
opportunities. Not being faithful in
little things, they are not promoted
to the charge of greater things. A
young man who gets a subordinate
situation some times thinks it is not
necessary for him to give it much
attention. He will wait till he gets
a place Of responsibility, and then he
will show the people what he can do.
This is a very great mistake.
Whatever his situation may be, he
should master it in all its details, and
perform all his duties faithfully.
The habit of doing his work thor
oughly and conscientiously is what
is most likely to enable a young man
to make his may. With this habit,
a person of only ordinary abilities
will outstrip one of greater talents,
who is in the habit of sighting sub
ordinate matters. But, after all, the
mere adoption by young man OF
/ this great essential rule of success
shows him to be possessed ofsuperior
abilities.

Value of Love.

No one who has looked into life
with honest eyes can have failed to
discover that it derives untold values
from the love which welcomes its
dawn, attends its growth and adj
vances step by step and soothes and
cheers its old age. Human love is
itself pearl of great price. How it
enlarges, enriches and ennobles life!
What beneficent ministries it con.
ducts! What patient heroism and
severe self-suppression it inspires
In mother, it is faith and hope and
patience and effort and victory. In
young hearts it is a transforming
gladness, an awakening to the re.
sponsibility and to the rapture of life
In manhood and womanhood it is
balm of care, refuge in temptation
and source of serenity.

A Wasted Power.

We don't understand why wind
mills are not in more general use on
farms. There are many services
these cheap motors could render that
are now done by horse or human
power if they are done at all. A
windmill over or near a barn could
grind and cut feed. Connected with
a grindstone the farmer could busy
himself on a rainy day by sharpen
ing the tools, especially the pillow
which should always be sharp. 1t
could run aljig ora buzz saw by which
many farm and household conven.
fences could be manufactured. A
great deal of time and muscular force
are wasted in providing fuel by the
agency of human muscles, a saw and
a saw buck. Better save your
muscles and let the wind do this
drudgery. While you are consider
ing this subject, just think Of the
many things that your horses are
doing that the wind can do cheaper
and better. We suspect that the rea.
son why wind power is so little ap-
preciated, is the same that seems to
prevent manypeople from getting sal
vation-it is free.

Poultry Notes.

Petroleum, it is said, will often cure
chicken cholera if given in time. A
tablespoonful in a pint of meal, fed to
the hens, is sufficient.
Lime is a purifier and should be
used often as a wash to coops, perches
and nest boxes. Sprinkle the places
most frequented by them with air.
Stacked lime.
BE sure that the ground floor ofthe
poultry house is enough higher than
the surrounding ground to keep it
perfectly dry. Damp floors are very
productive of disease.
Poultry keeping can be made an
auxiliary to other pursuits without
infringing upon the time of the keep
er; and will bring in handsome re-
turn for the food and care given
them.
