MIDDLEBURY.

wALLACE's QUAssAPAUG LAKE HOUSE
 AND PLEASURE GROUNDS.
 Delightfully."- situated up among the hills in the towns of Middlebury and Woodbury is Lake Quassapaug. The shore of this lake is an old and popular summer resort, especially for parties from Waterbury, and when it's beauties become fully known there is no doubt but that it will be very popular place for Sunday school and private parties from all of the surrounding towns, who desire a most charming place for their outing. Situated on the edge of the wa ters of the lake is the Wallace house, the oldest, largest and most popular house on the lake. The proprietor of this house is George ". Wallace, a pleasant gentleman to meet and a most genial host, who is leaving no stone unturned to make his house and grounds as attract i've and home-like as possible for the con- fort and pleasure of his guests. This and was formerly run by Mir Wallace and his father. They worked along in a quiet way depending on local patronage almost entirely for their support, and no effort has been made to attract the gen. eral public until this year, when the present proprietor thought it's beauties and attractions as a pleasure resort should be more widely known. Among some of the most prominent features are the neatness and comforts of the house and grounds, where a good meal can be had at short notice, the steamer on the lake with capacity for 8 passengers. 30 row boats, dancing hall, bowling alley, photograph gallery, the new Edi- son photograph; in fact everything be- longing to a first-class hotel and picnic grounds. MT Wallace has accommoda- tions for about 20 regular guests. No doubt parties from Newtown and vicin- ity will avail themselves of trip to this resort during the season, as it is an easy drive of about Il miles, either by the way of Southbury and over the hill toward Middlebury, or from Southbury l to Southford and following up the out let to the lake, avoiding the hills almost entirely. On this (Friday) evening there | is to be grand time at this house, Preparations have making for large number of people. The American band of Waterbury, one of the best in the state, is to be at the lake sir the afternoon and evening and give concert. In the evening there are to be l fireworks, with grand illumination o1 the grounds with lanterns. Music vii . be furnished for those who desire dane

BILLY BERRY SPEAKS.

BlLll
 This is the time of year when the voice of the newspaper correspondent is heard in the land. From Squash Hill and Pump kindale, from Coon Ridge and Spook- vile, Pancake Valley and Hawkvale, come bits of news. in perusing which, we are carried back 100 years to the early scenes of our earliest childhood, and in the tenseness of our intense interest in these quiet country chroniclings, we lose all thought, for the once, of the Worlds fair, and forget that Columbus discover ed Connecticut while taking a pleasure sail from the Bahama Islands to the coast of Lake Quassapaug, where the natives greeted himwi smiling faces and ice cream at 15 cents a plate. Where he could sit on the shore and lave his per spring feet in the limpid water, or divest himself of toggery, take Turkish bath in the crystal depths of fsun-heated pools.

It is swithin the scope of admin istrative construction" to determine how much (if any) vitality we possess. But, the chronic indifference of offic- ials to statistical or scientific inquiries, IS sometimes made matter of comment. Human nature does not vary much within one degree of latitude, and rely ing on that fact, we are emboldened to | say. ssWe're as much alive as anybody. | Did not our recent celebration prove our ability to awake to the exigencies of the occas.on?' ?'
