WORTH KNOWING
AND WORTH REMEMBERING.
Can0aA's Geographical P0siti0n, ,sail Fo0A Racilisies and Dasiness OPPoE

Canaan's Geographical Pesisi0n, Dail.
 rsoA Racalisies and Bssiness OPPer-
 tanasAea.
 It is we'll known that Canaan enjoys excellent railway facilities. The Housa- tonic railway, and the Central New England & Western railway afford an opportunity to go North, South, East or West several times g day. The pos tal, telegraph and telephone facilities are also excellent. The opportunities for establishing manufacturing indus tries here are good inasmuch as water power is abundant. land is cheap and rent and taxes nominal.
 But we wish to call attention to 'Canaan's Geographical Position in re- lation to the Population of the United States." Mir Fl. P. Tracy. the secretary of the Canaan Citizens Association, has been studying the railway time tables and the last census reports and he is confident that one tenth of the popula. ton of the United States is within six hours ride of Canaan, Conn. Mir Tracy is also confident that the same cannot be said of any other town in Connecti- cut. These facts are worth knowing and worth remembering, and are worth impressine on the mind of all who are seeking desirable location for residence or business.

From Georgia Into Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 17.-Extensive preparations had been made for doing honor to the president by the Georgia Pa cific Railroad company, over which line the presidential party journeyed. From Atlanta to Birmingham all the stations along the line of the road were decorated with the national colors, and the gigantic locomotive attached to the train was GOV cred with bunting and had large portrait of President Harrison fastened above the headlight.
 Welcomed to Alabama.
 Governor Jones and the members of his staff, in full regimentals, Colonel T. TalH- ferro and a reception committee of citi- zens of Birmingham boarded the train at Henryellen, twenty miles from Birming- ham, and welcomed the president to the state of Alabama.
 This was the warmest day of the season in Birmingham, but it was not warmer than the reception given President Har' rison by the people of the Magic City. " Half dozen miles from Birmingham fac tory and locomotive whistles began to sound their shrill notes, and hundreds of other whistles taking up the strain, the noise became almost deafening to those on the train. Along the track signal tor pedoes had been placed, and from the time the outskirts of the city were reached un- til the train came to a standstill at the ssation there was succession of sharp re- ports added to the pandemonium. Boom ing of cannon and shouting from thou sands of throats greeted the appearance of the president and party on the platform of the train.
 The Calamity of War. In the course of long speech the presi- dent said:
 judge from what we have seen as we neared your station that we have hero at Birmingham the largest and most enthusiastic concourse of people that has met us since we left the national capital. My countrymen, we thought war calamitous and so it was. Destruction of life and of property was great; sad beyond expres- sion, and yet we can see now that God led us through the Red sea to development in material prosperity and to fraternity that was not other wise possible. lCheers.l

''You have been so long about the minister's hand, John, that I dare say you could preach sermon yourself now," said gentleman one day to a beadle of his acquaintance.

 ''Well, John," said the gentleman, humoring the quiet vanity of the beadle, "what inference could you draw from this text: "A wild ass snuffeth up the wind at her pleasureT ' Gere. ii, 24.)
 ''Weel," replied John, ''the only nat ural like inference that I could draw frae it is just this-that she wad snuff a lang time afore she would fatten or it."-Gentleman's Magazine.
