THE VACATION HOME.

The Vacation Home is now completed and was opened about the first of the month. As is well known the Home was built by MT Van Ingan, the New York importer, who has a beautiful summer home here. The Home is charmingly sit uated on an elevation south of the Green, overlooking the Shepaug valley and river to the south. Itis large structure, three stories high, and there is also wing built on in the rear. The foundation stones are natural rock. An inside bal cony extends across the entire front. The grounds have been laid out very prettily. The first delegation of girls came up from New York the Saturday before the Fourth. It is understood the Vacation Home is under the care of St Bartholomew's church of New ork. A representative of THE BEE had chat on Saturday with Miss Darby, who IS in charge of St Bartholomew's parish house in New York. She was returning to New York with number of girls, who had enjoyed fortnight at the house. She stated that the girls pay their own expenses, the charge being small. From 50 to 60 girls were at this Vacation sta tion, on Saturday, to see the girls off, who were to depart for New York. The train pulled by without stopping, but stopped down the track and backed up. The train was greeted by shouts of laughter by the girls, who appeared to be enjoying themselves heartily.

AsrCCEssFUL A APIARIsT.

The venerable Robert Black of Black vile is an enthusiastic and successful apiarist, although well along in the seven ties. MT Black began the culture of bees by accident a quarter of century ago, having swarm given him. He began to increase his stock and now has about l5 stocks. He has made 2G0 or 270 pounds of choice honey, this year. Mir Black estimates there are 30,000 bees in a stock. In taking out his honey, he generally wears a veil over his head, but wears no gloves on his hands. Mir Black has connected an old corn house with a bee supply house. He deals in all kinds of bee supplies, and has calls from all the towns around. He finds ready market for. his Loney in Washington, New Milford and Litchfeld. The hon. ey Is sent to market in neat cases with glass fronts. MT Black pays special at tention to his apiary, and his honey is prime, as the writer can testify. Years ago Mir Black did an extensive business in the machinery and foundry line here, but on account of advancing years, he desires to sell some of his property here.

MORRIS.
A NOBLE LIFE

NOBLE LIFE.
 Mrs Rhoda Sanford Cowles entered into rest on her 92d birthday, July :, 1893. Living in this place for more than 50 years, she was unidentified with the. interests of the place and people, as few can be. lnherlCing a taste for read ing, possessing a fine mind and won- derful memory, she kept pace with the affairs of the town, state, nation and world in spite of increasing years and infrmities. The treasures of her mind were mine of wealth to the genealogist and the searcher after knowledge of ''the days of Auld Lang Syne." But a few years ago series of most interesting articles from her pen entitled, "rhe old houses of Morris was published in the Litcbfield Enquirer. Mrs CoWles was stately and dignified in manner with "a face like benediction,' the counterpart of the dear, beautiful, gracious old lady whom writers of fiction so often describe and who is seldom found outside of fiction's realm. To all benevolent objects she gave generously and with hearty sympathy which more than doubled the value of the gift. Thoroughly and con scientiously upright herself, she could never be persuaded that evil was good, that wrong was right, that darkness was light. In early youth she gave her heart to the blessed Saviour and through all the trials and trou bles of her life (and they were many), she was sustained by an unfaltering trust in Him. The end was peace. Her memory is blessed. By the bright waters now thy lot is cast, Joy to thee, happy friend thy bark has past
 The rough seas foam,
 Now the long yearning of thy soul is stilled. Home Home! thy peace is won, thy heart is

HOW WE KEPT THE DAY,

HOW WI NETT THE DAY. The "Youths'' of the town assembled en masse about 10 p. m., of the 3d and asserted their right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness by parading the streets, yelling, firing guns and giant crackers, blowing horns and every sort of instruments that could emit squeak or squawk, occasionally varing the up- roar by ringing the bells and firing a cannon, till pandemonium itself could hardly equal the sights and sounds. The disgraceful orgie lasted till day dawn. The we'll and strong can endure such pow-wow, as they do any other evil with show of courage, but the sick in our midst must have thought the night long and wearisome. We hope the .spoWers that be" (if there are any), will prevent repetition of this disgraceful howl. The day was a quiet one. The resorts around Bantam lake were well patronized. Bantam people held pie nic at Pleasant Grove and quiet well ordered dance at the same place finished out the evening.
