LETTER FROM PRINCIPAL ADAMS.

Editor of he News:
 Mantle Is small village situated at the head of cresent-shaped bay, which is very suitable for light craft boating and safe bathing. Just beyond is the sound. with heavy steamers plying east and west, and the dim outline of Long Island in the distance, with Montauk light on it's eastern terminus. The depot is eight miles from New London and twelve from Saybrook.
 The summer school began it's sessions Tuesday, the 2d inst, under weeping skies, which necessitated the use oi umbrellas and gossamsrs for three suc- oessive days. The ardor of the would be-celebraters on "The Fourth" was seriously dampened. This so-called school Is unique in its nature, the instruction being given in the line of talks and lectures, enabling the teachers to obtain hints relative to plans and methods without the wear and fatigue of continuous recitation and study. Information IS given in all the branches of the common school curriculum, to- gether with kindergarten, civil govern ment microscopy and pedagogy. Lee lures are given each morning and evening.
 Between two and three hundred teachers are in attendance, and more are expected. The accommodations are ample and the resident people are ex- ceedingly cordial to their visiting guests. The school terminates next week Tuesday. HMA

[Aillerton, (N. Y.) Telegram, July 5th.l
 Doctor Stillman died at his residence. in fhis village, Sunday evening, June 3Oth. His health has been failing for the past year, but his vigorous constitu- ton and strong will kept him up until about four weeks ago. when he was taken suddenly worse of kidney and brain trouble: Every effort was made by the family to procure the best medi. cal treatment, but his time had come, and all-conquoring death baff1ed their efforts, and took another of North East's prominent men from our midst The Doctor was born in Colebrook, Conn.,, August 16, 1914, and early began ct the Berkshire Medical College, of Pitts6eld, at the age of twenty y-one, and began to practice his profession in Win sted At the age of twenty -four he married Miss Rachel Sophia Isham, of Canaan, and shortly after removed to Honesdale, Penn, remaining there until he came to this town, over forty years ago. He has been exceedingly successful in his profession, and many people in this vicinity willingly con- cede that they owe their restoration to health to Dr Stillman. His funeral service was solemnized at the house, on Tuesday afternoon, and was the regular service of the Episcopal church. MT Burgess was the rector in charge. The interment WAS made in the cemetery at Canaan, Conn.

RAILROAD EXAMINATION.
THE coNNEcr1CUr WESTERN.

THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN.
 The railroad commissioners have sub- mitted to the H. & c. w. railroad company the following report of their recent examination of said road
 The spring examination of your road vas made on the 10th inst. and we are glad to note the extensive improvements contemplated and in progress. One of the most important of these is the newly constructed change of line at Ore Hill, avoiding the bridges over the mine and passing round the same on solid ground. When the new track is properly ballas- ted, surfaced land lined the change of location will add much to the safety of this portion of the road. We are grati- fed to notice also the widening of the various rock cuts, which were left mar TOW in the original construction of the road. Numerous iron girder bridges are being substituted for wooden bridges which were too light for heavy traffic. and the wooden bridges remaining, are being reinforced and strengthened and generally provided with 8 standard floor system. The roadbed and track are generally in good condition. The high embodiment next west of New Hartford 1 narrow and the shoulders should be widened. We heartily commend the substitution of the automatic brake for the straight air brake heretofore used upon your passenger equipment.
