EASTON.
MISS EMMA POWELL.

At news of the death of Mir and Mrs Charles Powell's only daughter Emma, l3 years old, every face evinced feeling of sympathetic sorrow. The funeral, Friday, l7th, was largely attended, Rev Mir Weeks and Rev MT Davies officiat- ing, in accordance with the expressed wish of the deceased, who also named her pail bearers, chosen from among her associates. Services were held at the tist church was attended by friends from far and near. Choice and beautiful f1o- ral offerings were placed about the cas- ket of white and there was little of the appearance of d corpse, so lifelike was her last sleep. \ lining of white took much from the usually sombre and re- pulsive grave and tenderly her remains were borne from her home to the church close by and then to the yard only a few steps from it's door. Prominent and popular among her associates, often pre- siding at the organ in church and Sun day school, she will be much missed by all and of the sorrow of the stricken home circle, so quickly robbed of chief attraction, words fail to tell.

 ST. PAUL's EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
 The parish of Ripton, (@o named after Rippon, England, doubtless by Daniel Shelton who came here in l687) and the parish of New Stratford, now Monroe, were once part of Chrisr's church par. ish at Stratford. St. Pauls church was built in l740. The parish was set off from that of Christ's church in April l740. In l722. n time when courage was needed to be a churchman, it is recorded that on "All Saints day, l6 Episcopal ians, inhabitants of Ripton, addressed q paper to the secretary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in For. eign Parts, asking for pastor of theil own, or for stated supplies every third Sunday from the ministers settled ir Stratford and New Haven.

SCRAPS oFHUNTINGToN HISTORY

As this town was set off from Stratford In l7S9, at that time including New Strat- ford, last year marked the completion of it's first century. From that time to 1860, the metropolis of the town was the Cen ter.
 Soon after the latter date, Ferry dis trict, feeling the influence of Birming- completion of the dam was there any great step toward it's present growth. This water privilege Is located at the head of navigation on the lIOusatOnic river, only 70 miles from New ork city. X dam of solid masonry 22 feet in height constructed in the most approved and substantial manner across the IlOusaton- ic river at this point, creates the most re- liable water power in the State. The river extends over 100 miles above the dam; drains about 2000 square miles of territory. On it's tributaries are numer- ous lakes, with combined area of not less than 10000 acres, which act as nat ural storehouses for water, cqualiZing the flow and uflording a large amount at all seasons of the year. The water pow GIT furnished is equal to 25OO horse power l2 hours per day. Prominent among manufacturing concerns now in operation in shelton are the Derby Silver Co. Br- mingham Corset Co.,, employing POO hands; shelton bolt works; Adams cot ton mill; Star Pin Co, which turns out nearly yS200, GOO worth per annum Wilcox and Howe, carriage hardware. Wilkinson Bros. S Co.'S paper mills must not be omitted; here millions of postal cards are being turned out.
 The recent extension of the Derby rail- road into shelton is proving very advan- tageous to the borough and, now con nected with New York by railroad and boat, it's growth is assured. The towns population in 1870 was 1900; to-day it is about 1000.

ABOUT THE FARM.
EirIs Tor Farmers and Busy
RrSaz swives to Appreciate.

II has been said that the name TIM
othy as applied to grass was given in
recc Cni. ion of the name of the farmer
who uIr duced it to this country, and
whose name was Timothy Herd. Some
of his neighbors called it Herds grass,
and others Timothy grass. As ii
proved - be valuable, It has been pro-
pagsted Usder these two names ever
since. 1t has probably been too ex-
clusively relied upon, especially for
feeding horses. A mixture Of timothy
with other grass and with clover makes
a more nutritious hay, while if timothy
alone Is fed, it needs grain in addition
for horses at work.
