MRS CROFUT's DEATH.

1 Mrs Charles Crofut, whose death was mentioned, last week, was born in Wes- ton, June 26, 1909. In early life she united with the Episcopal church at | Westport. She lived at Lyons Plain until the spring of 1880, when she went | to Reddng to make her home with her | daughter, Mrs William F. Gorham. Aunt Charlotte,'' as she was familiarly called, was an earnest Christian and d | faithful wife and mother. She will be sadly missed, not only by her own home l circle, but by her friends and neighbors here. MT Swan, the rector of Christ church, Redding, visited her many times in her sickness and few days before her | death administered the holy communion. | The funeral was held from her late home at Bedding, Rev Mir Swan officiating | The remains were then brought to Ly- on's Plain and laid beside those of her husband and son. The bearers were Charles W. Johnson, Moses D. Tread well, Hiram Schorield and David s. Par sons.

MORE HORSE RAILROAD TALK.

There is talk of building horse rail-
 road over the Air Line road to Bridge 1 port. When the East End line extend | their road to Paradise Green (which will l be as soon as the grade crossing of the l Consolidated road at Main street is re- | moved)it would seem as if the people of | the town would be abundantly provided with facilities to reach Bridgeport,
 without an opposition road over the Air | Line. A charter for a horse rail road over this route, should be strongly op- | posed. If any is granted, it should be only electricity as the motive power.
 The grades are such, that over part of the distance, the horses would have to be used and they could not make reason ably quick time. The managers of the present road try to accommodate the public, and are constantly Investigating as to the best thing to use for motive power, or rather the best means of using electricity as motor. As soon as that is determined on, it will be put in use and with their lines extended to Para disc Green they will make the through trip to the bridge at Bridgeport in less than 30 minutes. They seem inclined to do right by our travelling townspeople, and it's nothing more than fair that they should be sustained, as long as they ac- commodate the public as well as they do now. The Air Line road has been macad- amized recently at great expense and it would seem good policy to keep one of the main roads free from car tracks, for at their best, they are nuisance to those who drive.

 Rev MT Warfield preached to d small audience in the afternoon, preaching in the village church morning and evening. He preached a fine sermon, appropriate for Christmas. He was so welt liked by both churches that a strong effort was made to have him remain as permanent pastor over both churches, but he de- clned the invitation, probably thinking that ''discretion was the better part of valor' and that he would flee from Da- mascus while he could do so in safety.
 The annual meeting of our ecclesiasti- cal society was held in the church, last Monday. This is one of the events of the year for tlle Hill, Fourth of July be- ing the other event, with now and then a temperance sociable sanuWiched be- tween. At the meeting J. J. Beardsley was chosen moderator and all of the old officers were reelected, viz: w. c. Bir- kins, clerk; B. c. Hatch, treasurer; c. w. Squires, c. B. Ackley, James A. Fer ris, society committee; G. A. Tomlin- son, chorister; w. c. Birkins, assistant chorster. MT Tomlinson was heard to say that he begins his 20Lh consecutive year as chorister and during all that time he never has had any trouble in his choir. Mrs George II. Couch has been the or ganist for the past three years and gives excellent satisfaction to all of the con- gregation and it is to be hoped that she will remain in that position for another year. The report of the society com mittee showed a favorable condition of the society. We had preaching for o1 Sundays during the year and 29 minis ters to do the work. The committee were instructed to supply the pulpit with a minister and so both churches begin another year of candidating, with the two parsonages standing vacant.
 John Mitchell expects to remain on what is known as the Dea Patterson farm for another year and some repairs are soon to be made on the buildings.
