ENTHUSIASTIC CAMPERS.

A number of boys from Brookfield and Hawleyville, Eugene and Herbert Lake, J. W. Sagendorf, Clarence and Beach Hawley, John Drew, Willis, Ernest and Willie Hawley and Joseph Yenitz spent few days, last week, in camping out near where the Shepaug railroad crosses the Housatonic river. They expected to ex- ist very much on fish and game, but neither paned out quite as well as ex- pected. Eugene Lake was first cook, John Drew second and Clarence Hawley first assistant, the remaining eight were the tasters, who claim the food was as good as any they ever get at home, but the mothers doubt whether their methods of cooking and serving food would be tolerated long at home without grumbl- ing. No provision had been made for rain, except showers, when they expected to go in bathing while it lasted, piling their clothes on the bank under rubber blankets, but the steady rain of Satur- day exceeded their calculations and both their clothes and spirits were thoroughly dampened. They report splendid time and are already anticipating another visit to the same place.

The original settlers in Worthing-
ton were enthusiastic friends of edu.
cation, and favorite project was the
establishment, not only of first class
public schools, butalso of an acadamy
to prepare pupils for the higher learn:
ing of the college and the university.
Among the founders of the colony
were Prof. r. F. Humiston and Rev.
B. H. Crever, D. D., both having won
distinction in the east as educators. It
is significant and interesting fact
stated in the ADVANCE of March l4th,
1874, that the village then contained
fifteen or more college graduates.
z ,ere were in the vicinity no less than
h elve persons who had been teachers
OF music. There were then graded
district school with two teachers, and
\ lie .Worthington Seminary, with q
rps Of eight teachers. The expert
ent of an acamemy was premature,

on was given to the public schools
