MT Josiah Booth distinctly remembers
 his first trip to Bridgeport when he was about 10 years old. That was over 65 years ago, when Bridgeport had but just been set off from Stratford as a separate town. Bridgeport had but one brick block at that time, on the corner of Wall and Water streets and there were no railroads, steamboats, telegraph lines, kerosene oil, nor most of the thousand and one comforts and conveniences of our modern life. Stage coaches travelled the turnpikes and sloops and packets the Sound and it was not difficult task for the boy of 10to inspect the business part of the town. This was mainly included within the limits of Main, Wall, Bank, Water and State streets. The grocery business was carried on ill Water street and on State street was J. B. Baldwin's s book store. The town boasted two dry goods stores, as Mir Booth recalls and, on the corner of Bank and Water streets, one Knapp kept hotel, famous as the place where Lafayette stopped on his tri- umphal progress through the grateful young republic. Newtown had two ho- tels at this time, Caleb Baldwin's, where MT Charles E. Beardsley lives and Czar heeler's- ~ho had a gilded bunch o1 grapes as sign ana was located north
 of the Misses Glover's hona. Boy that
 he was, Mir Booth took great intysast il

Sessions will reopen, Monday, Sep tember IT, 9am. As previously stated, a primary department, under the charge of an assistant, will be continued and made a distinct feature of the Academy henceforth. A pleasant class has been organized and will be advanced carefully and systematically. The formation of classes in the academic department will be conducted with q view to q classical, preparatory and commercial business course. All desirous of gaining the full- est benefits should present themselves the first week of opening. Arrangements will be made for those living outside of the village to leave for home at ? 30 D m, or to connect with trains, thus permit | ting them to avoid the dusk of the short
 ening season to accomplish necessary farm duties. The text books will remain \ substantially unchanged from those used
 last yeas, thus putting patrons to no un-
 necessary outlay and only such new books as are necessary for the advancing classes will be selected. We earnestly
 desire to bring forcibly to the notice of all interested in educational matters, the
 advantages of our English course and in vite one and all at any time to come and examine for themselves. We hope te
