A most enjoyable event occurred at the home of J. J. Bailey, Union street, yesterday, when MT Bailey and his wor- thy wife celebrated the fiftieth anniver- sary of their marriage. The occasion brought together all of the children liv- ing with the exception of one son who resides in Oregon, and five grand child ren. The rooms were tastefully decor ated with vines and flowers and all bore happy aspect.
 At one o'clock the company sat down to a bountifully laden table. the center of attraction of which was large cake plentifully sprinkled with gold pieces. A large boquet of fifty marigolds also adorned the table. After the dinner hour all gathered on the lawn where they were photographed by Newell.
 Those present were: Mrs Jared Bradley, of Great Burlington; Mir and Mrs Eugene Root and daughter, of Canaan; Mir and Mrs Chas W. Bailey and son, of New Britain; Raymond G.. Bailey and family, of East Hartford ;and George Woodbridge and Miss Ethel and Master Arthur, of Manchester. The guests took their departure on the 5.25 train taking many pleasant memories with them.

A Vile IIa In tha Rfllorv.


 Weeks before the royal wedding it was openly whispered that the Duke of York, gallant sailor and gentleman, had made false step, had been forget ful of his princely and knightly duties and obligations, and had, in fact, been secretly married and involved himself in mesalliance, repugnant to his sense of honor and illegal in the eyes of the well known statute law. That law is simple. None of our blood royal can legally con- tract marriage without the consent of the reigning sovereign. Morganatic marriages have been recognized as such, and such love inspired sanctity as att taches to these unions when faithfully adhered to. The world knows all about them and sympathizes with them. But what said the quidnuncs, the tattlers, the irresponsible, the chattering spar rows who build under the caves of pal acesp
 Blankly this, that George of Wales was married; that the name of the place and the name of the lady, alleged to be the daughter of a naval officer of high degree, were known, and both names and places changed and fluctuated as the price of scandal shares rose or fell in the gossip market. Like i'll winds, the ugly rumor grew apace over the dinner table and afternoon teapot. Men talked of it more shame to them-women mur- mured it with giggles and innuendo; the very outsiders" got hold of it, and all the time the story was positively and ab- solutely untrue. Think you for an in- stant that the head of our church would have married our prince and princess had he not first satisfied himself, as we have reason to know he did, that the silly story was wholly untrue, absolutely baseless? The question carries its own answer. We contradict 1t directly with authority.-London Gentlewoman.

A Woman Who Got Along.


 The ability of woman to get on alone in the world is sometimes questioned by her big brothers. But there are plenty of instances where women have been left in circumstances which would try the powers of the stoutest hearted man to the utmost and have come out tri- umphant. One of these was mentioned to reporter the other day in connection with rough side hill farm in remote part of an inland town. "There," said our informant, pointing to the place, shved Aunt Abby S- when her hus- band died. She then had three small children, and another was born soon after. The farm was in poor condition and had about all the mortgage it could bear. Her husbands old father. feeble and fussy, was left on her hands.
 "Did she send the old man to the poor farm, think you? Not a bit of it. She kept him a year or two, and he was SC fussy she couldn't live with him. Then she hired neighbor to take him, and she paid his board 12 years, when he died. She raised her children and brought the farm into good condition. She paid the mortgage, and when she died she left good property free and clear of all debts. The boys hadn't the old lady's spunk, for there's mortgage up there now, and nothing in the world but lazi. ness did 1t. They had everything Jeff ready to their hands and ain't had nc drawbacks, 'cept losin their mother, but somehow the weeds have got the start oi 'em, and guess they'll keep it."-Lew' iston Journal. a

"More Haste. Worse Speed. 1"

Of all the tournaments" 1 ever saw, one among the "dairy maids" at an agri- cultural show was perhaps the last to associate itself with that heroic proceed ure which such word suggests There were about 40 of them armed with "churns" and started at the same mo- ment to make butter against time. Each came provided with watch, and the temptation was almost irresistible to turn the handle of the machine as quick iy as possible. But no, butter must be ihumored," not driven. The silent lists were filled with the provokingly delib- crate flip, flop" of 40 churns. One ot the slowest combatants won the race. never realized more plainly that ''mosi haste is worst speed."-Cornhill Mag azina

After calling attention to the trouble he placed his paw over the hole and kept the water out until bis master found the plug and replaced t.-Lewiston Evening Journal

The Tapping of the Deathwatch.

The so called deathwatch, dreaded by the superstitious, is small beetle which has very powerful joint in it's neck and calls its mate by tapping with its head on the wall or on any surface where it may happen to be located. The noise is similar to that which may be produced by tapping with the finger nails on a table. and the insect can frequently be made to answer such taps.-New York Evening Sun.

The National Flower, Which Shall It
 RP4
By Mrs. I. M. Sharpe.

By Mrs. l. M. Snarpe.I The Indian corn with silken beard, Like the flower that Is reared ;- With the corn on the prairie and the hill Gives the harvest to fuldll. The laurel's green and waxen leaf, Beautiful its pinks in deep relief, On the mountain In forest woods they grow, In Southern cline and Northern snow. The golden sunfiower in the sun Turns. coquettish to be won. Familiar from each shore to shore, At gentry's lawn at cabin door. We ponder on each flower, to choose, We think 1t right, again to loose, And not content with but one flower And only one, the nations dover. The three combine. The National flower One bouqvet, the richest dover. With the sunfiower of the rising morn Put the laurel pinks with Indian corn. Tie with bowknot. The ribbons dye, The color of the sky. And in merry fancy of the peoples voice Perhaps twill win the choice.

service was held at the home yesterday Interment in the family plot in Sails bury cemetery.
 A few of our public spirited citizens have contributed the necessary money to pay for the flags and so we are to have weather signal station in this village. W. H. Camp is the signal officer and the flags are hung over the street between the Cummings block and Camps drug store. The reports are received by telephone every morning from New Haven. Cards explaining the signals can be had at Camps drug store. For all practical purposes one need only bear in mind that the large white flag denotes fair weather, the large blue flag rain or snow and that the small black triangular flag is the temperature flag and is hung above or below the large flag as the weather is to be warm or cold.
 By the new laws affecting schools any child of 13 may work, providing he has attended school twenty y-four weeks in the year. Children between 13 and 14 must have been present sixty days ir the year, and of these thirty must have been continuous.
