Letter from Rockville.

Rockville, Ct,, Mar. 2s, 1889. 1 Thinking you and some of your readers might have llttle interest in what is go- ing on here, take my pen(ciD in hand to let you know that Rockville is alive and 1 well and hopes these few lines will find you all the same. We are pretty well ex- cepting some cases of measles, humps, diphtheria, though none have been fatal as yet.
 The mild weather and early spring open ing are favorable to the building opera tions that are soon to commence. The me- morial hall, union church and new bank building of course overshadow all others, and will make us proud of our Center park when we are the first city of the la-no not land-but county, and that is coming now pretty soon. There Is no question but what the charter will be accepted. Its growth is and has been healthy, and can coast of some as fine stores and business blocks as any in the state.
 The republican club, having re"organ. ized on selfsustaining basis, keep their rooms open to members every week day evening. Two pool tables, chess, check CTS and cards are provided, but any wagers on the result of any game or shot are positively forbidden. Several papers, daily and weekly, are provided, and other means of amusement and instruction will be provided from time to time. The W. c. T. U. and Y. W. 0. T. U. have leased rooms in Dowling's wood building on Kellogg lawn and have opened parlors there for women and girls over 12 years old, and provided books and papers and piano where they can pass a pleasant evening.
 The new bank building will be hand some structure three stories high, AS feet front on Elm street, 90 feet deep. The bank and store will occupy the first floor and the second devoted to offices, while the third will contain two halls or lodge rooms with ante rooms.
 Our creamery is making some excellent butter now, after getting into working or der, and meeting with ready sale.
 The show business has been pretty good this winter; the most of them have been good ones and had good houses, and there are several more to follow.
 St. Bernard's parish and some other friends made up purse of over $500 in gold and presented it to Father Furlong. The gift was accepted as the gift of pee pie to their priest.
 Rev. c. H. Rickets, of the Union Con- gregational church soon closes his labors here.

The building occupied by Chauneey Chapman as general store was entirely destroyed, with contents, by fire about 11.3O Monday night. The fire, though discovered soon after starting, made rapid progress, and as there were no means for putting it out, the building was soon in ruins. Cause unknown. The building was owned by MT. Chapman, and his loss Is es- timated at 8, 300 insurance $1 ,O00.
 Square Pond Correspondence> Mir. A. l.. Adams, of Somers, who has now taught the school in the 12th district, West Stafford, four consecutive terms, closed the winter term on the 22d inst. Every scholar was present, excepting one, who was sick, and, something surely un- usual in these days, one or both parents of all the scholars were present, with one or two exceptions. The examination show. ed thorough work. The reading and his- ory recitation were especially commend able. Declamations by the entire school, numbering fifteen, were all so we'll given that to mention some names and omit oth- CTS would be invidious. Just here allow me to say, gratefully, that MT. A. has been an efficient helper in our Sunday school at Square Pond.
 The fourth funeral within as many WOCho oo "AAOA JOuI COAIcopOuuoub uH6 been called upon to oficiate, in West Staf- ford, was that of MT. William Francis, who was buried the 21st in the cemetery near Square Pond. His former home was about a mile from here, owned now by MT. Con- rad Borke.

official of the road, at recent meeting OF
the board of directors, asserted that under
the law the company was losing and would
continue to lose large amount of money!;
that in his opinion the bill was unconstitu-
tional, and that the courts would so declare
it. He wound up by asking permission to
disobey the law in order to make up case,
and the directors gave their assent. II
this story is true, the acts of the Louisville

great interest. A fight against the inter
state bill would have been more likely to
have been successful if it had been begun
a year ago.

Agricultural Training.

iowa State Register.
The rapid revolutions in the systems of
farming not only require a more intimate
knowledge of the elements of the earth and
air which contribute to the production of
vegetable crops. as well as improved sys-
TENS of breeding and feeding domestic ami
mails. Agriculture should be an applied
science in all departments. Beside the adj
vantages of science being mixed with the
practical to insure success on the farm,
there is also wide and urgent demand for
professors of agriculture and all of the cog
nate branches of industry, including the
mechanic arts. Not only the United States
but all of the civilized world Is establishing.
extending and improving theiragricultural
schools, and want teachers. And such men
as have learned by actual experience the
hard and practical drudgery of the farm,
with the true farm economy bred into
thorough training In our best agricultural
schools, are the kind of men wanted. Spe-
cial committees of agricultural colleges are
scanning the face of the earth for this class
of men, and advertisements come from the
other side of the globe calling for them.
They DO not want those whose bOyhoOd has
been spent in idleness in towns and cities
and then, when attaining manhood, 60 to
an agricultural school to learn to be teach
ers of farming. Our schools have been
cursed with this class of teachers long
enough. The need is to have agriculture
bred in the bones, and then sugar-coated
with the sciences pertaining to that branch
of industry. 1t is the best and the bright
est boys from the farm that ara wanted for
this work. In fact, it is from this class
that nearly all of the best statesmen, rail-
road presidents, bankers and merchants
originally come.
