 MEM RIAL DAY.
 Rev. E. F.. Clark's sermon before the G. l A. R. post and other veterans last Sunday evening was fitting beginning of the observances to follow. The Methodist church was we'll filled, and the cholr sang several suitable selections in harmony with the subject. Revs. Buckley of Grace | church and Dickinson of the Congregation al church had parts in the services. The subject of the sermon was The citizen sol dier, and the great uprising of 1861, and "reminiscences of the days of war, thrilling incidents of heroism and sacrifice, revived memories of the middle aged, and portray ed the exciting days of the period to the young. Each incident was made to point lesson.
 Instead of the usual address there will be an entertainment at Oronoco Hall this evening, under management of the W. R. O., with the small admission of 15 cents (1O cents for children), the avails to go to the relief fund.- The main feature will be an exercise in which recitations will be given by children representing each state and territory, also singing. closing with the singing of America and brilliant it. uminated tableau. There will also be in- terspersed singing by male quartette and others, and by special request a quartette from the Universalist church will repeat a beautiful selection given by them at Sun- day evening service in that church two years ago, when the Winter Post was in at- tendance. Those who patronize the enter tainment tonight will get their full value for admission money paid and help the post in the most worthy object of keeping up relief fund for the benefit of sick or distressed veterans.

News has reached New York by steamer direct from Hayti that Hippolyte and his northern army had invested Port au Prince on the 20th, and that he was preparing to attack the capital in conjunction with some gun- boats which he had ordered from Con- dives. From this it would appear that the wonderful victories claimed by the Legi- time partisans were fabricatiOns. The news received at the state department from our consul at Cape Haytien and from other reliable sources assures the ultimate tri- umph of Hippolyte's forces. It is only a question of few days when he will be master of the situation, and Legitime com- pelled to surrender or flee the country. Secretary Blaine has been disposed to sup port Hippolyte against Legitime, who has the support of most European powers. The probability of Hippolyte's success has de- cided our government to delay sending a commission to Hayti.
 Hartford Courant: It is an astonishing fact from several points of view that 8 number of our leading lawyers should have only discovered this year that we have no statute against bribery in the legislature. It is interesting to see how long we had got along without it, and interesting, too, to inquire how so many of them came to look for the law this year. A vigorous and comprehensive statute on the subject will be presented to the next legislature that is very certain. The scandals that the cor ruptionists have brought upon the state at this session must become a matter of history not of habit.

 At meeting of the board of education, district committee and others, held at the h; ;rvlne lot ho fo1l ing courses of study for use in the Stafford Springs high school were adopted, to take effect at the beginning of the fall term, 1889 The courses of study as adopted differ from the course prescribed in 1886 in being more comprehensive and thus meeting the wants of larger number of the patrons of the school, without increas- ing the running expenses of the school. Yhe work of each term throughout the four years is specified; nothing is left to the caprice of the pupil or the choice of the teacher. The pupil, teacher and act ing school visitor know what the work of particular term must be, and in this re- spect alone the new schedule will more than pay for the time and labor spent in preparing, and we feel assured that if the courses of study here laid down are given fair trial satisfactory results will be at- tained.

blowing strongly at the time, and driving
before 1t clouds of dust, for they told me
there had been no rain In that part for

| Fortunately was going south, so that
the dust WAS blown into my neck, instead
of my face. The whole country was ter.
ribly bare OF trees, aud tho drouth was
terrible. When | reached Avignon de-

has made so interesting. found that The
stream had shrunk to nothing, and that
the only water to be seen was small
pond at the bottom OF the opening In the
Ii llslde, where 1t had its origin.
The most striking illustration, how.
ever, of the terrible steriliiy caused by
the devastating htnd OF man wac that
one day, beside the road, saw a man
picking some half-withered leaves from a
dust powdered tree, and throwing them
on sheet spread on the ground. Seeing
from the shape of the Leaf that II was a

''Are you gathering those leaves for
