Last weeks weather was of the most exasperating character for managers of the fall fairs. Three neighboring societies. those of Rockville, Sturbridge and Wood stock-had dates for that week, and from day to day postponed the bringing out of the program, as the rain kept people at home, and thus cut off the supply of lubri- cation at the ticket office, besides spelling the track and dampening the beauty of ex- hibits, and the enthusiasm of the few who came to look. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, all were rainy days, though at Sturbridge the show went on during Friday, the rain fall being lesser there than at the other places. It was hard luck. No society in this part of the state ever had worse, though Willimantic came very near it in 1887. It is fortunate that such experience is rare if 1t were not so few would have the courage to attempt to engineer one of our modern cattle shows with its enormous expenses and the risk contingent on attracting crowd of people large enough to meet the cost.

The North Brookfeld Journal says of John F. Hyde, of whose death at Buda, ILL, this paper last week made mention : Many will remember him as resident of Sturbridge and Brookfeld, in former years, and later as an occasional visitor MT. Hyde was the youngest son of Joshua Hyde, and the last member of the family that included Benj. B. Hyde, Esq, of Sturbridge, Geo. B. Hyde of Boston, (re- gently deceased), Mrs. Y. Allen, Mrs. H. Walker, and Mrs. o. Freeman. Mir. Joshua Hyde, a soldier of the revolution, died in 1883. The death of MT. John Hyde now marks the close of generation of men, conspicuous for ability, prosperi- ty, frugality and patriotism.

Wall paper was exhibited in the Vern- on grange exhibit said to be from the room in which Lafayette slept in the old King tavern in Vernon. Did Lafayette sleep there? The claim has been made and contradicted, continues to be made, and no one takes pains to keep up the contradic- tion, so the tradition is likely to persevere in being until it becomes history. There are men living now who can settle the question. If we are not mistaken Aholiab Johnson, of Thompsonville, is one of them, and, if we have the story aright, Lafayette came over the Massachusetts line and went to bed at the Stafford Springs House after midnight. It is possible, but hardly prob- able, that he spent the following night at another hotel but little over thirteen miles away. Tell us about it, MT. Oldest Inhab- itant

en- others. 1t is expected that twelve
kilns will be in operation inside
of q month or so. Two more
wet pans for mixing clay are being put
in, and a dry pan and grinding mill
have been added recently. When all the
additions have been completed the works
will have an enormous capacity, but
even then they will not be able to supply
the demand. Three carloads of pipe
have already been shipped to Fresno, to
be used in sewering that city, and other
cars are now being loaded. Several cot
tages have been built on the company's
grounds recently, and more will be built
very soon. By summer quite village
will be located at this spot, and it is ex-
pected that stores and shops will be
located there shortly. Most of the en-
ployees at the works will live in the vicin-
ity, and, as men of family are preferred
school will be needed. The company
has large payroll now. but when the
electric plant is in position and work
goes on both day and night it will be
doubled.

For the Good Of All.

EDITORS misunderstanding that the
report of the Committee on Mines and
Mining was adopted yesterday, I, for
one, was pleased. Practical and scien-
tific research would be Of incalculable
value to Southern California. 1t would
inevitably attract capital, and ultimately
open out the mineral and agricultural
resources OF this grand and promising
O I'D of the Golden West. The internal
W wsalth and climatic advantages of Cali
t ,rnia are far beyond the conception of
those who have never been in this re-
gion. Thoroughly attained knowledge of
its geographical formation would be
gladly hailed by the intelligent and en-
terprisiug portion of the community.
Capital would flow in, its people would
be made contented and happy. Practi-
cal means of developing its natural gas,
petroleum product, Its varied minerals,
| etc., brick, terra Gotta and cement ma
terial, and its building stones, would
wonderfully enhance its prosperity. The
capabilities of the soil may also be devel-
oped if emigrants of limited means
could get possession of the land
at real, not fictitious value. In
fact, in the near future this favored
land Could be made to support twenty to
thirty millions of inhabitants, providing
its resources were energetically devel-
oped. In order to accomplish this, in
dividual advantages and interests will
have to be sacrificed whenever they clash
with those of the whole community.

This is the initial Offering and the COM
lnencement of the subdivision of the large
possessions of Mr.. j. b. HAGGiN, in Kern
County. The property embraced in 1t includes
some of the finest lands in thecounty, as all well

percehtage upon valuation of from $3.50 TO
5000 per acre. Other portions of the offering
are used for vegetable and garden purposes,
while the balance is composed OF land rich ana

to demonstrate its great adaptability to fruits
and the products of this wonderfully prolific
soil. A large portion of these lands lie along

10 miles, and which is 1152 feet in width.
The other tracts are reached by excellent

With the immense settlement that must in
the nature of things follow the subdivision

able and productive land around BAKERS

tion that will pour into this section of the
country, Transforming the county into one
gigantic colony, with its countless number of
orchards and vineyards, drawing to it men of
enterprise and capital, BAKERSFIELD, with
its Incompatible water power, and other
natural advantages; with its railroad facilities
at hand, and the almost positive. certainty Of

Insane.

About four weeks ago MT. s. NJ. Williams, who was sent to the insane asylum at Phenix on January 9th 1887, from this place, returned to Florence, being pronounced cured. He obtained a contract to supply wood for the brickyard and completed it few days ago, having cleared a small sum of money by it. While sitting down at the brick yard Tues day evening he suddenly became eX- cited and after praying in an excit- able and incoherent way, tried induce Octave Wilson, an employe of the yard, to likewise get down upon his knees and follow his example of piety. Mir. Wilson succeeded in allaying his excitement for a short time and Vii liams then started for town.
 He met Mir. c. D. Henry on the streets and tried to force him to pray, and upon his refusal to do so he grappled with him and threw hlm into the gutter Several witnesses to the strange transaction went to Mir Hen rvs rescue and carried the resisting maniac to the jail, where he became very violent. He was examined We'd nesday morning and commitment to the asylum was issued.
 MT. Williams is a young man nat urally bright and of good disposition, but under the influence of one of his sudden attacks of acute delirious mania he becomes quite unmanage- able and exceedingly dangerous, necessitating the application of a straight-iacket.

School Matters.

The school trustees organized We'd nesday evening by electing Mir. Thos. F. Weedin chairman and Geo. E. Evans, clerk. J. N. Denier is the third member of the board.
 The teachers for the ensuing year were selected as follows:
 MT. A. K. Hitchcock, principal.
 Miss .Gustie Hildebrant, grammar department.
 Mrs E. M. Wratten, intermediate de partment.
 Mrs. Vena Thomas, primary depart ment
 The new principal, Mir. Hitchcock has served as vice-principal of the Tue son school, and has given the most complete satisfaction. He was ten dered the position for another year, but will now probably decline it to ac- cept the offer made by the Florence board. The other teachers are toe well known to need especial mention
 The trustees are contemplating the establishment of another class room to accommodate the overcrowded pri- mary department, and if suitable place can be found at reasonable rental, another teacher will be em ployed
 The contract made with the teach CTS will be by the month, which will enable the trustees to displace any teacher for good cause at their will.
 The time for the commencement o the school term has not yet been | agreed upon.

The Can Explnded.

The coal-oil can has claimed another victim, this time in Florence. A Mex ican girl, fourteen years of age, named Maria Canos, has been employed in the family of Judge H. B. Summers as a domestic, for several months, re- turning to her home at night. Last Monday morning she went as usual to her work, and not succeeding in making the fire burn satisfactorily, she took the kerosene can and poured some of it's scanty contents into the stove. A flash and explosion followed and the girl ran screaming out of the house. Mir Summers soon ove-- took her and threw blanket about her, but she shook it off and ran. He again caught her and extinguished the flames, but her arms back and legs were badly burned. The crib in which the little child of Mir. and Mrs. J. Biery was sleeping also took fire, but it was subdued before much dam age was done The fire that had also started in the woodwork of the kitchen was also extinguished before attaining much headway. Some simple reme- dies were applied to the wounds of the girl and Dr. Adler was called in Mon day evening to attend ier. More than one third of the surface of her entire body was burned and yet, in spite of her severe sufferings she seem edscheerful, and on Wednesday morn ing was chatting and laughing with her sister. The burns are very serious and the result of her injuries is yet uncertain.
