THE MAIL SERVICE BAD.

The people in this town certainly have cause to complain of the change made in our mail service. There being no mes- senger on this remote branch of the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven and Ha artford railroad, all our northern m ail first goes down to Bridge port, and then is sent in the proper di- rection, according to the convenience of the Bridgeport postoffice. Formerly we could send a letter to the north, the same day posted, but now it is fortunate if it gets moving in the right direction, even the next day. Our evening mail is so late that but few care to go to the of- flee after it.

Y. Mir Powell has done good work on The Homestead. Although but young man, he Is one of the brightest of the younger agricultural writers of the country. Best of all he has had practical experience on the farm (which many agricultural editors lack, by the way) and has good, practical sense. He will make success, wherever he may go, and in his new position on the Amer ican Gardening, will be able to devote much time to specialties. He is a son of George T. Powell, director of agricultur- al institutes in New York state, and widely known in agricultural circles in the Eastern states.

Newtown should be proud of its say ings bank, which never was in a better condition than to-day, judging by the re- ports issued from time to time. A we'll managed bank is blessing to any town, but few of us recognize the fact. The lack of public spirit and appreciation is the cause of the decline of so many of the New England hill towns and villages. If half of the snap and energy manifest ed by many of the Western and Southern towns, were displayed by Newtown and other towns, the outlook for growth would be more encouraging. We are glad the Newtown savings bank is talk ing no backward step.

 A WO RID AS TO CHRISTMAS.
 The pas week has been very busy one, with all people, as it always is, the week before Christmas. The streets have been almost impossible, and the stores crowded. All the willing workers in the churches have been busily engaged winding and tying greens, in order that their houses of worship may be prettily trimmed on Sunday morning. There is yet time for many who are able, but who 0 have not already done so, to think of one or more needed families and see that they are remembered on Christmas day. Those who never do such deed (ifthey would but try it) would find that they would spend a much happier Christmas themselves. It would cost but little to brighten and make happy some poor firessde.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

Once more the ever-wclcome Christmas season has come round, with all it's grac- ious influences and benefits. To those that are older, the glory of Christmas may be in the past, but there can come to these the satisfaction of. making oth- CTS happy, if they only will. As Rev Dr McNeille puts it, "The glory of Christi mas has always been that people made one another happy and if we still retain that art we can make the blessed old day just as full to the brim with joy in this year of grace '92, as it used to be in the forties.n How more beautifully could the meaning of the Christmas season be brought out than in the following beau- tiful lines from the pen of the above named writer: "So here's to Christmas May it bring to us all that peace of God which came in the angels song of old to men of good will; may it bring warm love for friends and dear ones, may it be gate of opportunity thrown open into the city of gladness through which we shall pass and with greeting, gift and love lead the way to the old time glory, gentleness and joy which Christmas used to have when we were young
