 Soul to it's place on high:
 Those who have seen thy look in death
 No more may fear to die
 Was the feeling of those who gazed at Mrs o. M. Hall for the last time, at the close of the funeral services held in the chapel on Saturday last Her pas tor, Mir Pierpont, spoke with pathos of the great loss, so keenly felt by the whole community. and paid a fitting tribute to the worth of one suddenly called away ill the midst of active use- fitness. Beautiful flowers, the gifts of loving friends, W ere there. in profusion among them an exquisite pillow from Mrs David Smith. The pail bearers were Messrs R. Smith, F. Wood, G. Beck, J. Memott, T. Sturges, and J. Cochrane. Mrs Hall was a woman of more than ordinary gifts of person. mind, and character. In domestic, business, social and church life, she will be greatly missed. Her home was her pride and joy, so that in the words of Lowell,
 The whole dumb dwelling grew conscious
 And put on her looks and ways.
 But it died, that autumn morning
 When she, its soul, was borne
 To lie all dark on the hillside,
 That looks over woodland and corn
 Blessing she was, God made her so,
 And deeds of weekday holiness
 Fell from her noiseless as the snow.
 The bereaved husband has the sheer est sympathy, for all are mourners.

ADAY'S OUTING.
From an OccasionaI Correspondent

From an OccasionaI Correspondent. Editor of Ne,rs:
 CA word to tho wise is sufficient. " Visit Canaan Falls and then take ride of about mile up the Sugar Hill road, though it is not all sugar for there is some salt. Then hitch your teams and take walk of about quarter of a mile up, and you will be on the top of Pros pect mountain. Then. with glass in hand, look at the beauties of nature that lie before you on every hand. We think you will return feeling quite re- paid for your trouble. It will also give you good appetite for dinner.
 If you wish to spend the whole day very pleasantly, just take ride from here to Lime Rock, three miles, ride, on a good road to that very pleasant village and one we'll worth seeing, and then on over the pleasant road called Walton Hill and take in the Hotchkiss School buildings and the surroundings, which will we'll pay one for quite a journey.
 This region will undoubtedly be the Lenox for city people coming to Litch- field county.
 The ride from here through Lakeville and over the mountains to Falls Village would complete days outing long to be remembered. W. G. NJ. Falls Village, Ct., Sept 9th, 1892
