new and desirable inhabitants. Mark the prediction"
 I win distant readers of The Press, former residents, whose ancestors lie in the old cemetery, and with whom corre- spondence has heretofore been held, take note that work of renovation and im- provement is now going on in this ancient burying ground, and that they will be soon called upon to contribute towards the necessary expenses and permanent fund for the future prompt and thorough care of the cemetery. In the mean time pecuniary help can be sent to "Adolph Korper, first selectman, Wilmington, Conn. :" Sums of one dollar and upwards will be gratefully received.
 Mrs. Annie A. Preston, one of the contributors, has received copy of the Columbian Worlds Fair volume, "Selec- tions from the Writings of Connecticut Women" It is a large and handsome book in blue, white and gold, bearing the state arms, and is altogether fine and dainty work of art. Mrs. Preston will be happy to show the book to any one who may wish to see it-also a copy of Uncle Toms Cabin, and cabinet photo of Mrs. Stowe, from which the bust was made, copies of which have been sent to all the collectors for the same.
