FAIRFIELD.

Monday morning, the fatal Burr road crossing, Bridgeport, was the scene of another accident. King Carter, a color ed man employed by George A. Wells, proprietor of the St Mare, was driving with load of ice from Moody's pond, Bridgeport, to the George hotel, Black Rock. As he approached the crossing, he stopped to allow one east bound freight train to pass and then started to cross the tracks, when the Shore Line ex- press, running 40 miles an hour, appear ed. Carter made every effort to back his team, but in vain. The train struck the team, killing one horse instantly and in- turing the other so that it had to be kill ed. The driver escaped without injury, but had severe shaking up and terrible shock. The large pole of the wagon was broken and this probably saved Carter. MT Wells valued the team at $60O.
 The board of school visitors met at the Town hall, Monday afternoon. The meeting was called to order by Chair man E. L. Wells and, as Secretary More house was absent, Simeon Pease was chosen secretary pro tenn. Several re- ports were made. The attendance at the Middle school has greatly increased since the fire and another teacher will probably be required. The matter was left with the school visitor and school committee. The meeting adjourned to Monday. March 7 3 20 n n,
 Considerable difficulty is being exper- fenced by Rev T. J. Coleman in obtain ing the full insurance upon the buildings under his charge which were recently burned. It seems that, for many years previous to last year, the insurance was held by the same company, but, last year, Father Coleman changed com panies. Now the new companies claim that the buildings were old and out of repair when they took the insurance and, consequently, not near as valuable as when they were new. They say that, if they held the insurance for number of years, the wear on the buildings would be offset by the premiums paid in, but, as they just took the risk, they are simply holden for the value of the build- ings at the time the risk was taken.
 For the future, masses will be said at the Town hall on Sundays at s 30 and 10 o'clock for the members of St Thomas parish.
 M onday morning, 104 scholars, 40 more than have been registered in years before, presented themselves at the Middle district school. This large influx was caused by the burning of the Catho- lie parochial school. Acting Visitor J. D. Toomey, Jr, brought the matter be- fore the meeting of the school board. x Monday afternoon and the board autho- rized him to take whatever steps he deemed necessary in order to accommo- date the large crowd. As a result, an assistant to Miss Otstot will be obtained for such time as the attendance warrants. At the meeting of the selectmen, Mon- day, a bill was presented from Holland

they did, but, to us,it is only history; to him it is more, for he is part of the past aud, what is history to us,is a reali- United States was lttle4strip of coun- try lying along the Atlantic. To the west was an almost unbroken wilder ness. The modes of travel, the lumber ing stage coach on land, the slow sailing sloop on water. Communication between distant points few and far between and the great disseminator of news was the travelling peddler, as he made his accus- toned round: journey of POO or 300 miles the event of lifetime. All this he has seen and he alone of us can con trast the world, as it was, with the world as it is. And for this we offer our con- gratulations.
 But there is still another reason. It is commonly said that he who causes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before is a benefactor. It is true and it is also true that he who causes the brain of man to grow so that it may bring forth good for men is the great est of benefactors. What we see in the world is the result of education, for with out it we would be in the condition of those of past years. Ihave no thought of being fulsome in what 1 have to say, for l am dealing with fact and credit is due to him who is the cause of fact, therefore l maintain that the Staples High school is blessing to us. It pro- vides, at a mere nominal cost, an educa- tion which, if it were not here, we would have to send our children away to ob- tain. The boy boring over his book may in time become the ruler of his country. He may be the great inventor of the age bring comforts to the world. The names of boys and girls may yet be inscribed on the annals of science and literature.
 The pages of our history are full of the names of men and women who have risen from the ranks of comparative ob' scurity to the height of world wide fame and is it too mach for us to say that the names of those educated here may not yet become famous? As one who has seen the benefits of education and the evils arising from non-education, say that our friend deserves the congrat .ulations of us all because he has seen fiji to give of his means for the good of man We shall pass away. Our names shal be forgotten, but l am persuaded thai Staples High school will live for gener ations to come. Horace Staples will fal asleep; even so,'but he, being dead, ye speaketh" and future people will stil congratulate him as we do to-day.
