A CHARMING RESIDENCE.

It will well repay any one to call at John T. Burr's cottage, Grey Rock, at Lakeside and note the vast amount of work which has been accomplished there, under his supervision on the ground and walls. The architectural design of the cottage with its cool veranda, and many gables and angles, is particularly pleas ing. But particularly so, the convenient and beautiful arrangement of the interi- or of the same, and spacious hallway IS most worthy of mention and observation also. His manner of bringing water to supply the whole house in any quantity by the aid of the engine connected with his steam yacht on the lake, is novel and ingenious. Mir Burr has also greatly im- proved the land connected with the prop erty on the hill above the cottage, and has one of the finest orchards in this vi- clnity growing, and under fine cultiva- tion, where formerly has been but birches and briers. A vast amount of blasting and grading has been done about the cot tage for three years, in order to afford him SuCH u udHusOluG ldWuT utlNCWays CbI's and he seems as ambitious to still inn prove and beautify. Next year he in tends to erect n fine barn for his horses and carriages near the cottage, and has already fine site prepared on solid rock for the same. Then will follow other buildings for the convenience of himself and family, including a cottage for his help and it is thought by his employees that he has but just commenced to make his place entire at Lakeside, the gem and model property of all in this vicinity. May many such be tempted or influenced to locate their summer residence about the shores of Lake Waramaug.

A SUGGESTION OR TWO.

We would as soon see the millennium commenced here as anywhere. "The wilderness" and the blackberry lot "Shall blossom as the rose," the hedges be leveled and smoothed down to even grade, the grass spring up in abundance to a lawn excelling velvet in appearance, back of which may rise cottages sur passing solomon in all his glory" That is what and only what Lakeside section needs to make it one of the most fashionable and pleasurable resorts this side of New fork, and enterprise enough on the part of property holders here now to encourage such to come. Mir Mead of Greenwich, who has summered with his family at c. E. Beeman's, has been anxious to secure 8 desirable site near the lake, to erect a large cottage for himself, and If possible we hope he may be secured as a permanent summer resident and many more like him. An other thing we think requisite on the part of landholders and hotel keepers about the lake namely: See that the lake Is kept up in reputation as good fishing ground. Keep it frequently restocked with such fish from other lakes as will thrive well here. Be in constant cor. respondence and mutual assistance with the fish commissioners of this or other states. Strive to bring up the lake in all respects to high standard of popu- larity, and interest and sport, and we predict Lake Waramaug in a very short time will be far less unknown, as one of the most delightful summer resorts in this state.
