 Fire! Fire! Fire!

 Go! Look out for the biggest 4th of July celebration ever seen in this coun- ty, money no object. No expense has been spared in making up this grand, unique and most interesting programe. Base ball game, Norfolk and Canaan nine, in the afternoon. Creased pig, foot races, potato races, bicycle races, and other races, will then be m order. The ragmufin parade will start from the B. R.

A procession one mile in length is expected, consisting of citizens on horseback, four-horse teams, two-horse teams, single-horse teams, mule teams without number attached to every conceivable sort of vehicle. The Housatonic Horse Guards will be on hand in force. LATER. The ladies in this end of the town, married and single, have consented to appear in the process sion in costume. One four-horse team with little girls, dressediin white, will represent the different states in the Union. Let it be distinctly understood that everybody is invited to join in this parade, both town and out of town people. Don't put on your Sunday clothes, but look as bad as you can. Fix up so that your very shadow will cry out with fear. After the parade, or about o'clock, there will be the novel exhibition of Japanese day fire works. Bear in mind that the evening display will represent bill of fire works amounting to three hundred and seven- ty-fve dollars. Solid acres of people will be here. A dancing pavilion will will also be erected for parties with ladies, some of whom will enjoy that feature of the occasion. No pains or expense has been, or will be, spared to make the day pleasant one for you. Come. Come. Every ybody come. and tell any body you see to come to East Canaan, Saturday July 4. Entertain ment will be afternoon and evening. Sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and soda water will be on sale for the convenience of the public.

He hopes to regain his health be- fore he resumes preaching. His pulpit will be supplied next Sunday.by the Rev Dr Zaciery Eddy. We und erstaud that the Rev Dr Hiram Eldy will SUD- i ply the pulpit the remaining Sundays during MT Stones vacation.
 The meeting held at town han last Tuesday evening for the purpose of or ganizing a council of the Order of American Mechanics was addressed by State Organizer Gilmore, of New Haven, and F. c. Clark, of Falls Village. It requires 25 names to obtain a charter and form council. Sixteen names were obtained Tuesday evening. Another meeting will be held at town hall next Tuesday evening, at which time it is expected sufficient names will l be ODtalned to form council here.
 It will be seen by the will of Miss Catherine B Hunt, which appears else- where, that after the lega acies are paid the David NJ. Hunt Library and School association, of Falls Village, gets the residue of the estate. At the estimated value of the. estate, this residue will amount to about $11, ,000.

Hunt, sister of Miss Catherine Hunt, at her decease left $5OOO and Miss Catherine Hunt, before her death, had given $800O to this association.
