and those who could not emulate. Isaac Wal
ton said there were better things on the
counter than in the pond, but when the
shortcake was produced all, young and old,
hunted for their choicest words to speak it's
praise. Next in order were the exercises of
the evening. DR.. Vibberts read several se-
lections, among them were sEurorean
Guides" and "Curing a Gold" by Mark
Twain; "Burdick's Goat" and perkins at

A State grange pic mic and farmers field
meetine under the auspices of the State
Grange and the boar,l of agriculture has been
arranged for Thursday, the Both, and farmers
with their families and all others interested
in progressive agriculture are cordially invited
to attend; not omrsting the boys and well
filed lunch basket. Tables will be set in the
grove, and the officer q of the school will fur
nish dishes, tea coffee and lemonade. The
morning will be devoted to the inspection of
the farm and crops under the direction of Pro-
lessor Chamberlin, the Hatch station experi-
ments of Professor Phelps and the school
buildings, new laborat ory and equipments.
Dinner at one o'clock p. M; the afternoon
being devoted to sh OFT farm talks by
and a number of practical farmers
from various sections of the State There
will be a meeting of the State grange execu-
tive committee to receive suggestions as to
l the business interests of the order, and to
consider the place of holding the annual
winter meeting of the State grange. There
1 will also be meeting If the State grange
| deputies to arrange for the fall campaign
| and the inspection servi ice. The trustees OF
l the school will be on hand to give informa-
\ ton and hear suggestions in regard to the
school and with all members of the State
board of agriculture in attendance this is
4 likely to be the most representative farmers
field meeting ever held in the country.
Carriages will leave Willimantic promptly
on arrival of the Air Line train, which
leaves New Haven at sos, and Middletown
at S:5S a. M, also on arrival of N. z. and
N. E. train, leaving Waterbury at 7:30, New
Britain $50, Hartford 300, and Vernon
9:29 q. m WindharH county people viii,
many of them, drive to the school, but those
coming on N. Y. and N. E. trains will ar
rive in Willimantic in ample time to connect
with the first carriages up. Those coming
via. New London Northern road can stop at
Eagleville station, three miles from the
| school farm.
l The Storrs school means better farm edu-
cation, the Grange means better farm educa-
| tiog, the board of agriculture means better
farm education, the Hatch experiment station
means better farm education. And better
/ farm education means that more of our Con-
necticut boys will stay on the farm, work
| will be done easier and to better advantage.
The farm will pay better, and the hill towns
Of dear old Connecticut will be redeemed.
Come, boys, held it along by attending this
meeting and bring along father and mother
if possible. And suggest to them not to for
get to bring the boys; the girls, of course,
| will be there Thursday, August 30th.

HOW QuassaPauG and Vicinity Could
Easily be Made AccessIble-A survey
This Fail Talked of.
A gentleman from neighboring town has
been giving his thoughts for the past weeks
to the subject of new railroad to open up
desirable territory. What led his thoughts
into this channel was q newspaper article
published few weeks ago about Lake Quas.
sapaug.
The road, he says, could interseet with the
New England at the dam at Long Meadow
pond in Midblebury. Thence it would be an
easy grade to Quassapaug. There is an old
highway for mile and half which would
require but little grading. From that point
the road would diverge to the left and fol-
lowing along the west side of Long Meadow
pond the road could 20 up the valley to the
Smith place, now owned by the Goodyear
Metallic Rubber Shoe company of Naugatuck,
thence north to Judd,e orchard and then to
the lake half mile further on. It would be
a road without bridge Of any size, with only
three highways to cross and not over SO
miles in length. Besides giving access to
what would become one of the leading resorts
of the State it would open up vast tract of
valuable timber land and good farming
country from which considerable produce
would be shipped to the cities.
The plan does not seem nearly SO chimeri-
cal as many that have now been pushed
strange If it caught the attention Of some
capitalists, perhaps the New England itself.
Strangers visiting the lake enthusiastically

AN AGED BRIDGEPoRTER VERY Low.
BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 21.-Gideon Thompson,
the Oldest inhabitant in Bridgeport and one
of its best known citizens, is very i'll at his
residence in Water street. Mr.. Thompson
reached his ninety second year on the 14th of
last March, and had arranged to unite in q
celebration of the anniversary with Mr.. j. FL.
Sterling, at the latter's residence. It hap
pens that their birthdays fall upon the same
date, although Mr.. Sterling is some fifty
years the junior of his venerable friend. The
blizzard spoiled the proposed celebration, but
did not prevent many of the old Bridge
porters from calling upon Mr.. Thompson as
soon as paths were tunnelled through the
huge deposits of snow, and wishing him
many happy returns.
ANsoNIA SIZES THE EERPEET.
The Ansonia Sentinel says: Here is the sea
serpent again. The following story is told
by Lockwood Hotchkiss, jr., and vouched
for by his two compRniSns who saw the ser
pent a. they were returning from the shore
in q sailboat Saturday. 1t was about o'clock
and they were crossing Pond Point off Mil
ford when Frank Smith, who sat in the PROV
of the boat, called the attentions of his COM
panlons to the peculiar thing splashing the
water and moving rapidly through it about
200 feet ahead of them. Hotchkies declares
most solemnlv that his hair stood erect and
he threw the boat around from its course to
avoid the object. They watched it disappear
down the Sound in the direction of New
York. All that was visible of the object was
a portion of Its head and a huge fin. 1t APP
peared to be thirty feet in length. The above
Is vouched for by the trio and they say that
it was not produced by anti-prohibitory eff
