THE CANAAN CIRCLE.

An event occurred Tn Falls Village Friday afternoon and evening of more than usual importance from the fact that it called up remeniscences of many years ago in Eye goode olde days of yore." The occasion was birthday party given by Mrs U. H. Miner to her brother-in-law, Whiting G. Miner, now in his Sand year. A bountiful collation. friendly gathering, a hearty welcome to the honored guest, the tea served In ye olden style of dishes, 80 years old, showed most conclusively that old &C., quaintances are not forgotten but often brought to mind. In 1887 in the land of the Hollenbecks and Hocobones (now Canaan and N. Canaan) was formed circle of twelve families, consisting of the Allyn, Miner, Walker, Harmon, Hunt, Beach, Beckley, Brown. Belden aud three Kellogg families. It is quite re- markable that this circle was kept up for twenty years with but one death in all that time. They were all tenn perate people, attending the ssme church, holding their gatherings five times year, meeting in one of the homes of the members. It was call ed the circle of 25 for there was occa- sionally a visitor present, perhaps the minister or some neighboring friend No one felt slighted if not asked to join. It was taken as a matter of fact that these twelve couples held their own gatherings. It was the circle of 25 and that was sufficient to silence all cavil
 The hour for assembling, was the 6 o'clock tea and all left for home by 9 o'clock. They did not remain in those days so late as to go home in the morn ing.
 This circle of twelve couples, were nearly all related and of one age. Their yearly gatherings continued until by death and removal they were discontin- ued. Only seven of the twenty-four are now living Four of the ladies were left widows and three of the gentlemen wid- overs. One of each has been married since. Mir Whiting G. Miner and lady were the oldest couple and the only one that celebrated their golden wedding. Mrs Miners death occurred three years after. MT Miners old house was on what is now known as the Plain, then school district No. 8 with fifty pupils in the enrolment.
 This little sketch may be of interest to the children and grand children of that famous circle of 25. To MT Miner and the surviving members we give our words of warmest affection and good cheer, that they may yet live to see many bright and happy days before they are called home.

FUNERAL OF .DR. WHIT7L ESEY.

The funeral services of Dr. Francis P. Whittlesey took place last Saturday afternoon at 315 o'clock at Christ church in this village. The rector, Rev F. W. Barnett, officiated, assisted by the Rev Dr Hartley, the rector of St James, church, Great Harrington, of which church Dr Whittlesey had been warden and vestryman. The services consisted of the burial office of the Episcopal church and the singing of two hymns which had been favorite ones of the de- ceased during his last illness. MT Bar nett spoke briefly. but very sympathet- ically, of Dr Whittlesey. alludlng to his Christian courage and fortitude and his intellectual ability. The remains re- posed in black cloth-covered casket entwined with smilax on which lay a spray of roses. A vase of beautiful TO- ses stood at the end of the casket, and there were Easter lilies by the pray Ter desk and in the font. Flowers had also been placed on the altar. The pail bearers were Messrs s. A. Eddy and s. O. Beckley, of this town, and F. N. De- land, A. Chalkley Collins, Caleb Tick nor and George Seeley, of Great Bar rington. The burial was h the lower cemetery. After the usual services at the grave by the two clergymen the body of Francis P. Whittlesey was left in the beautiful old cemetery, awaiting the resurrection of the just'' under the watch and ward of the grand old mount ain which he had loved so well.
 The funeral was largely attended not only by the people of this town but also by about thirty from Great Burlington and some from Norfolk and Lakeville.
 Next week this paper will contain some mention of Dr Whittlesey's char acter and his brief career.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Suggestions About Shade Trees. Editor of Me Netos:
 Will you permit tree-lover at this time of tree planting to say word in behalf of some of our native trees that are not often seen in the village streets? We Canaanites have been so devoted to the elm and the maple that we have for gotten that any other kinds are worthy our notice. Of course 8 strong reason for planting so many of these two kinds IS that they grow rapidly in our soil, but there are others that make beautiful shade trees and while perhaps not grow ing quite as fast would make pleasing variety in our village. The beech, oak, chestnut, pine, bass-wood, tulip-tree and others that grow on our mountain sides would certainly we'll repay culti- vation. The beech is remarkably beautiful tree, taking on charming Au- tumnal coloring.
 One of the finest lawns in the city of flttsneld has an immense sycamore for It's chief ornament. And why, oh why does not some one plant pine in our village streets? Can we find hint for Arbor Day here?
 And as for trimming our shade trees, Mir Editor, don't exhort us too strenu- ously on this pointl Of course we do not care to have our heads or our um- brellas hit by the branches, and there is a necessity for trimming some of the trees overhanging side walk; but as a rule, Mother Nature knows best how to care for her children, aud great, wig orous tree, with branches growing just as Nature designed is magnificent ob- lect. Let her have her own way some- times! ARBoR.
