Polite SARCASM.

Sometimes hotel man will encounter q
refinement of sarcasm that pierces even
his blunted sensibilities. A public man
who was in the city not long ago Is noted
for his information and good taste In gas
tronomic matters. The landlord was
smiling an atfable greeting when the guest
emerged from the dining room, but the
latter merely inquired whether he could
have a messenger boy summoned.
Certainly" was the reply.
"AIl right; and when he GENES tell him
TO go over to the Blank hotel and get me q
porter house steak"
1t is said that the landlord went SO far
as to threaten his cook with DISMISSAL

so thoroughly,nor derive so much benefit
as the Fresh Air children who are oceu-
plying the old Morehouse residence in
Holland hill district. About a dozen
children are sent there at a time and al
lowed to remain for a fortnight. At the
end of that time, they are returned to
their homes and fresh company of tired
and city-weary children take their places

They are admirably cared for here by

The Manor House, kept by Miss Eliza
beth Lockwood,is one of the largest and
most comfortable dwellings in the vii
lage of Fairfield. The grounds are kept
in perfect order and Miss Lockwood
knows we'll what guests expect in a first
class family boarding house. The sani-
tary arrangements are now most COM
plete, as over 5000 worth of new plumb
ing has been put in and the old taken out.
Notwithstanding all her efforts, we learn
that she is without a single boarder for
the Summer and that she is about dis
couraged and ready to give up in despair
of maintaining for the people of Fair
field house such as their friends would
like to patronize. Instead of this state
of affairs existing, how different it would
be if the good people of the village
would kindly make this house known to
their friends and so help fill it up. Just
this sort of a boarding house is needed
in Fairfield and ought to be literally
patronized. When the house has been
closed or perhaps sold to some undesira-
BILE party, many will say, 'Too bad, we
ought to have done more to assist Miss
LOCKWOOD If boarders can only be
found at once, the Manor House propri-
etress would feel encouraged. The BEE
would recommend every one to do what
they can to help her.

A full meeting of the board of select
men was held at Plattsville, Friday with
the Easton selectmen, to consider the
condition of the Plattsville bridge. The
bridge has been in an uncertain condi
ton for some time and the question of it's
repair was left, by the annual town meet
ings of both Fairfield and Easton, with
the selectmen. After full discussion, it
was decided not to change the location of
the bridge, but to make repairs on the
abutments and to build a new bridge of
wood. The cost will be, probably, not
far from 5000 and the work will be given
by contract to the lowest responsible bid
der.
Schools in town closed, last week Fri
day, for the Summer vacation.
If one may Judge by the universal hap
piness of the young people for whom the
union school picnic was given in the
grove at Sherwood Banks, last Friday, it
was of all successes most fiattering. The
attendance included nearly all children
in the parish of Greenfield; not those of
school age alone (they were all there),
but those whose names are not on school
registers, babies in arms and gray head
ed men. All were young for the day and
the pleasure Of the occasion was mutual.
The union picnic is the outcome of one
held at the same grove, a year ago, in
which four schools joined by invitation of
Miss Hattie e.. Jennings, teacher of
Banks North district, with the vigorous
assistance of Sherwood Banks and fami-
". So successful was that picnic that,
this year, it was decided to hold another
on larger scale, in which the seven
schools of the parish should participate.
