 We are happy to state that Mrs. Hil- dreth and her sister, recently returned from South Willington, are recovering from their severe illness. The daughter of the family, Mrs. Thomas, who has been caring for them, returned on Monday to her own home in Orange, Mass. -"The homestead on the hill' was en- lfvened last Saturday evening by the gath ering there of Prof. Hamilton's singing class as guests of Mrs. Neff. Not only was the very air musical, but something pleasant to the taste was provided.
 George Franklin came from Scituate, R. l., last week to MT. Bakers, to spend few days.
 Although not having the privilege of hearing Elder Smith of Springfield last Sunday, on his first visit here, we are pleased to learn that his discourses were well received. We regret to state that, so far as is known at this writing, there will be too much of Sabbath stillness'' at the churches here next Sunday, with no preaching in either house; but the Sum- day school at the Advent church is to be in session.
 Our pleasant pastorate of over thir- teen years is closed for the present, Ii we resume it, or occasionally supply the pulpit, due notice will be given in The Press. Our care for the welfare of the "old mother church" will continue.

 The richest coats and capes in the store are out now at either $25 or $35 each. This means everything above $35, even to $6o. Nothing is re- served.
 The other day we sold ev- cry $1o jacket we had in the store; every one. We can't be without $1o jackets for a single day; so what does our cloak man do but mark down SIP, E, 14 and IS garments to that figure. It was a bold move.
 @Traveling garments that wouldn't go last year at $2o and S25, have got to go this at S7.5o, 10 and 12.5o long before the worlds fair is over. Second floor.

1 New York Tribune: More than ten years ago it was computed by statisticians of distinction that the yearly savings of this nation exceeded those of Great Brit ain, Germany and France combined. Now it would assuredly be safe to say that the combined savings of all the foreign na- tions represented in the naval display would not equal those of the United States alone. And in these days savings mean power, whether in peace or war.
 | Hartford Post: The East Hartford firemen are proud of their new uniforms. The other day an alarm was sounded across the river. One fireman did not run directly to the fire as he was wont to do, but went home and put on his uni form. Then he went to the fire, but it was out.
 New London Day: The passage of the bill, Thursday, April 20th, incorporating the New London Business College, and granting that institution authority to con- fer degree entitled Master of the Sci ence of Accounts, expressed by the initials M. s. A., was long step in advance to- wards putting business colleges on high CT plane and giving them the recognition as filling an important place in the mod ern system of education which is their due. This is the first instance where a business college in New England has been empowered to confer degree.
 New Orleans Picayune: There is no | use for third party now. There are really not enough offices to completely satisfy one party.

The Midway Plaisance at the Colum- sort of side show, is mile in length and some 700 feet in width. This thorough fare with it's Frenchified name is probably the most unique attraction of the great enterprise. Bringing it's borders for the entire distance are Turkish Mosques and Moorish palaces, fac-similes of South Sea island villages, Arabian dancing halls, a representation of 8 street in Cairo, Chi nese village and theater, as well as rep resentation of a tea house from the Celes- tial empire, a German village, Dutch settlement, an exhibit of Irish industries, Japanese and Persian Bazaars, Dahom- | ey village, Pompeiian house, a minaret tower, from the pinnacle of which the | faithful are called upon to bow to Allah at each recurring sunrise and sunset, an Hungarian Orpheum, a menagerie of the widest of wild animals from the thickets of Africa, and a collection of other novel, ties that is absolutely bewildering. Each attraction is attended with greater or lesser number of natives of the countries represented, some exemplifying their na- tive industries, others giving entertain ments after the fashion of their own lands. In the Turkish village are over hundred subjects of the sultan in their picturesque attire, busily engaged in weaving rugs and tapestries that represent fortune when completed. Outside the famous donkey boy of Cairo," with his equally famous long cared steed, known to every American that has visited his native city, is scampering up and down with dozen of his companions and their donkeys in the rear. Here is a beauty show-some two score maidens, handsome of form and entl ancing of countenance, who are SUD- posed to represent the combined charms of the feminine sex of the United States and England, and all the countries of Flu rope. Here, also, is a colony of 400 Bed ouins, well equipped with camels and dromedaries, together with some three score of horses, chosen from among the treasures of the sultan's stable. Last but not least, located in the very center of the thoroughfare, is the American rival of the Eiffel tower, the gigantic Ferris Wheel, erected at cost of nearly half million dollars, and wifi sh revolution of which 2OOO passengers, occupying cars as large as the ordinary railroad coach, may be carried to height of 200 feet.
