ments of all nations has just been given TO

LAKEVILLE.

The one just passed has been another "music week." the Lakeville people having been favored by two musical recitals, brass band and hand organ. The Barreuther family, of Winsted, gave a concert in Academy hall on Wednesday evening. The public gener- ally were entertained and pleased with the performance. Thursday night there was harvest homo hop in George Busbnell's new barn, which was attend ed by number of Lakeville lads and lasses. The same evening there was given musical recital in the hall, by Miss Louise Gerard and Mir A. G. Thies. This was rare treat to lovers of good music. It Is subject of regret that attractions elsewhere prevented SC many from enjoying the cultivated singing of these talented musicians.
 On Friday there was union picnic of the Millerton Sunday schools, 1T Holley's grove.
 Labor day was duly observed in thi village, on Monday, not, as would seen fitting, in extra work, but as holiday in school, workshop and store.

Last Sunday he accomplished feat which no other man has ever had the nerve or folly Whichever you choose to term it) to attempt. At 6.35 a. m. Graham entered the barrel which he had constructed for his perilous voyage and at 7.1O a. m. he passed over the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara and dropped 200 feet into the abyss below. The barrel soon rose intact and was lowed ashore, where Graham was taken out apparently more dead than alive, but he soon revived and is not seriously in- jured but is badly bruised.

ssTO Be or Not to Be.''
The kindly tones of the school be

The kindly tones of the school bell, so many weeks silent, will sound forth it's welcome, next Monday morning. The vacation has been long enough to satisfy the liberty loving disposition of teachers, and long enough to fully tire the enthusiastic children with outdoor sport and gayeties of every sort. Our considerate fathers have voluntarily provided us with Q heating apparatus such as has not been equalled in this town or many towns before. They have also provided system of ven- tilation approved by the most skillful hygienic scientists. The school board has seen fit to substitute a new gram mar of excellent merit in the place of of one now almost obsolete. Teachers are engaged who have been legally cer- tifcated to preside over each room and conduct the affairs of public school instruction Never has the outlook for good work smiled upon this district more propitiously.
 All this has been provided that the children of eligible age living within the district limits may have the advan- tages of securing the best fortune to insure successful future life. Indus try, good habits, perseverance and regularity are either fostered or weakened in connection with school work. A popular English writer affirmed, 'Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried, with all my heart, to do we'll in great aims or in small ones I have been thoroughly in earnest" If both teachers and scholars could catch the spirit of the great novelist success would be assured.
 D'Israeli, ex-prime minister of Eng gland, once said, ''The secret of success ! in life is for person to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." Each teacher is in duty bound to be at his or her post of business every morning and afternoon session, five days in each week throughout the term. May not the same be reasonably ex- pected of the children who are to be the pupils Tn this important work?
 Let this be regarded as an appeal to every parent, to use good judgment and every legitimate means for prompt and regular attendance of his or her children during the school days of each succeeding week. Let nothing inter fere in this all important work but the most importunate demands, and it will clearly be seen by teachers and patrons and school officers how much more can be accomplished and how much more satisfactory, than by hit-or-miss go-as- you-please indifference. Many an ex- animation has proved failure, simply because the pnpil was absent the day the question was considered.
 Daily reports will be kept in the in- termediate and high school departments of attendance and tardiness, recitations and department, and individual reports will be forwarded to any parent or guardian who may desire them.
 Prompt and regular attendance with commendable industry will make the school work easy, agreeable and success full. H. M. ADAMS, Principal.
