under his beloved leadership we have worked, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, until, as you all know the re- suit, this parish room is hardly large enough to accommodate the present school. It certainly must be great pleasure for MT Warner as he stands here to-day for the last time to look with we'll earned pride upon the work he has accomplished. In few moments 1 feel certain that he will tell us that we must continue on just the same as if he
 was with us, but that will be hard task, for we have always looked up to him, not as our superintendent, but as our brother. And you all know how much more free any one can feel with their
 brother than they can with a stranger. Mir Warner, after it became known to us that you were going away, ,the officers and teachers decided it was impossible for them to go with you in person, but they
 were determined to go with you in some manner and in order to do that, I am re- quested in behalf of the officers, teachers, and scholars of this school, as token of their love and esteem to present you with this elegant album, purchased by the scholars of this school and contain ing the photographs of each officer and teacher. Hoping that, should you be- come homesick in your new home, you could,by turning the leaves of this book, be again in manner with your old associates. Now, Mir Warner, in behalf of the whole school bid you good bye and l can assure you that you carry with you our best wishes for your future happiness and success" Mir War ner was completely taken by surprise, but in a few moments he responded in a feeling manner, saying that the book would be apt to make him more home sick than to cure him, also that he should always be deeply interested in everything connected with Christ church
 parish. MT Warner left on the noon train, Tuesday, for his new home.
 Many of his people were at the train to see him off.

Standing close to the edge of high bank, overhanging the road leading from Washington Depot to the Green, IS a monster oak tree. In making excaVa- tions, the earth has been dug away until the tree stands close to the edge. Sup posing there should be another hurri- cane and the bank should cave in. What would prevent this tree from plugging on to a roadway? If there should be a team passing the chances would be for anoth- CT fatality similar to the New Preston horror.
