CORRESPONDENCE.

New England as Place to Emigrate 10.
EAST WOODSTOCK, Conn, Sept. IS, 1889.
To the Editor of the Banner DEAR
SIR 1T is rainy day. Not that such
an occasion IS of so rare an occurrence
as to merit special notice, but if it had
been pleasant l should have been at
work, My sister repeated u suggestion
which she frequently makes, why
don't you write to the BANNER Tell
them about the concert and the Child
ren's Day at RoselsDd Park; about the
fair and the rain"
spoke in a former letter of the Park
and the popular gatherings there. AS a
rule this season, the Saturdays al the
Park have been rainy in the morning.
The last picnic of the season was in a
large degree given to the children, all
the schools in the country being invited.
A former entertainment for the children
had been given by Henry @. Bowen a
few weeks earlier, but this latter was
more particularly under the supervision
of his wife. Nearly all the days at the
Park are closed at night by fire works,
and Illuminated with hundreds OF Chi
nese lanterns.
never knew so many fairs to come
on in such rapid succession as l find
them here. The poet says of this sea-
son of the year 1.-The melancholy days
have come" but think he might have
substituted the word fairy" if he were
describing this section. The towns and
counties make such a long list that l
don't know when they will get through.
Wednesday and Thursday were the days
appointed for Woodstock fair, but the
rain came and they continued it on TIL
Saturday. Among the exhibits l saw
nothing more worthy of note than the
oxen.
never have enjoyed New England
life and farming better than l have this
summer; even the hardest of the work
has been pleasure to me. The hills and
even the stones seem like old friends af-
ter living on the prairies OF the West
and South. remember, years ago, in
the West, | heard the sentiment ex-
pressed, New England is good place
to emigrate FROM" intimatIng that it
was not so good place to stay. have
never cherished that thought, but
through all my wanderings | have al
ways felt that the homes of New
England were among the pleasautest in
the land, and that sometime l might
welcome the thought of return to the
scenes of yore.
l have just heard the suggestion that
it is on account of the fair that the
weather is rainy, and l remember a
rainy spell some years ago, when some
one said that comet had tipped over
the dipper, but always leaYe such ex-
plantations to others, and satisfy myself
by taking things as they come,
Yours truly,
G, Z. BRECKENRIDGE.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The sixteenth convention of the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union meets in Chicago Nov. 9Th, and
continues through the 18th, with meet.
ing, Of special interest Sunday. In the
call Miss Willard says Current jour
nallsm has given the impression that we
ate nothing II not Third Party Prohibi
tioDists and woman's rights agitators.
On these to points we have nothing
whatever to conceal" Current jour
nalism" has simply recorded facts, and
more in sorrow than in anger has noted
the turning Of this once useful and -four
lshing organization into party machine,
Of course there is nothing to conceal
for facts speak louder than words.

Mr.. Claude N, Severance has returned
10 New Haven to pursue HE theological
studies for one year, prior to entering
upoD mission work IN Japan. bis labors
in this vicinity, and the part he has TAX
en- in our meetings, have been highly
appreciated and productive of good, and
,he'will doubtless receive a rich reward
for his labor of love, in the Masters
VINEYARD, He wishes to express his
hearty thanks for the kindly hospitality
and interest, the good people oil our
town have manifested to him during the
summer vacation so pleasantly spent
among them. Not from any lack OF ap-
probation and interest, has he failed to
avail himself Of all the kind invitations
to call, which have been given him, but
from a peculiar stress Of circumstances,
which he trusts his friends will in a
measure understand, so that they will
excuse certain delinquency in fulfilling
engagements that were made in good
faith.
The long ond very full obituary no.
tice Of Mr.. Daniel Robinson, published

loss, which this community feels in his
death. He has so long lived among us,
and has been 90 loyal in his love for the
old village, for the church of his youth,
and Of his ancestors, that we shall miss
his liberal benefactions, his encouraging
coiinsels, and his sturdy Christian ex-
ample, We will cherish the memory of
his kindness, while we rejoice that he
has entered upon his well earned rest, in
the home immortal, where 80 many
-loYed ones gone before, will meet and
greet him. His bereayed family know
Where to go for consultation, and the
D. Comforter will come to them as he has
promised. The funeral will be at, his
late home, Friday a. M, at IL O'Clock.

a well earned competency, they will
come back to us. They will BIZ welcome.
