have the privilege of so doing.

store of G. H. Houghton & Co., while
one of the firm was reduced in health,
has gone into the employ of w. R.
White.
The young people had straw ride TO
Bennington, on Saturday evening last.
They all enjoyed it, but the awkward po-
sitiOn in sitting put some in mind of
rheumatism or over worked muscle the
day following.
Rev. Marion L. Brown gave an inter-
esting discourse at the union meeting in
the Baptist church, Sunday evening. In
it he took occasion to give some practi-
cal views of the temperance problem,
which should interest all we'll wishers of
humanity.

pected thirty would sit at the table,

tent three times day, when the camp
ers are summoned by the sounding of a
large horn, skillfully blown by the chief
musician.
Mrs. F. B. Jennings returned Monday
from her second yachting trip this sea-
son. There can hardly be more pleas
ant place to spend the warm season than
"Fairview," but ocean life has attrac-
lions with some which outvies home or
land, and when the beautiful yacht
"Sultana," offers her pleasant accommo-
dations, little wonder that they are
taken.
Richard Wadsworth who has complet-
ed the third year at Yale College, and
his sister, Miss Amy, who resides at

have rooms at G. S. Wright's. Their
mother, widow of the late Strong Wads-
worth, lawyer of New York, was max
ing arrangements to come with them,
where they made so many friends last
year, when she was stricken by disease
and died in a few days. They have the
deep sympathy of all their friends here.
By recent letters from Mr. and Mrs, G.
E. Houghton we learn they are spending
the summer months and will remain till
the LIST of October at Camp Idylwild,
Strawberry Valley, Southern California.
This beautiful valley and camp is reach
ed by twenty mile stage drive from
San Jacinto, and has an altitude of six
thousand feet or nearly four times as
high as Mt. Anthony, and on either side
are ranges of mountains rising five thous-
and feet higher. They have cOnveniences
for obtaining all the necessaries to make
camping enjoyable, and if desired can
take meals at rudely constructed hotels,
with good accommodations. The air is
pure and dry, and well adapted for the
health of Mr.. HoughtOn, who seems to
be pleased with the surroundings.
