Pittsfeld will celebrate the glorious Fourth in an appropriate manner. Near ly $1,O0O have already been pledged, and more subscriptions are expected, and it is anticipated that it will be the most successful celebration Pittsfeld has ever witnessed.
 The window placed by the Frelinghuy- sen family in the new church at Lenox, in memory of the late President Arthur, is from Tiffany's studio, and measures nine feet high by five feet wide. It contains several thousand pieces of glass, which are wrought together in such manner as to produce the desired effect without painting.
 The New England Homestead con- tains an excellent picture of Senator Crosby. of Pittsfeld, and also an extended complimentary sketch, from which we clip the following:
 "Ron John 0. Crosby, of Pittsfeld, was one of the youngest members of the Massachusetts Senate, which has just adjourned, but he made his mark there. He was torn in Sheffield, Mass, June 15, 1859, received a common school education, studied law, and graduated at Boston University in 1882, and has since been associated in busi- ness with United States Senator Henry l.. Dawes, having achieved lasting reputation for ability"
