 Arbor day was celebrated at the school house by the children, who all partic- ipated in planting seeds, and setting out plants and bulbs. There are now sever- al nice shade trees near the school house which were set out about 9 years ago by David c. Meeker, who was public spirited and thoughtful enough for the coming generation, to plant trees on the grounds of school houses in different dis | tricts about here, long before Arbor day was thought of. They stand a living monument to his memory. | Robert Whittlesey took load of ap- | ples to New Haven, last week. He al. ways has apples to sell in May, of super for quality.

THE SPIRIT OF IMPROVEMENT.
 MT Daniel, a young man who has recently bought the George Wood place, so known to older people, is subjecting the house and barn to thorough repairs, so that it will not only add to the com fort of the occupants, but be an improve ment to the street. Why should not every owner of home have every thing about his premises, look so neat and artistic, even, as to give pleasure to the public, exciting and calling forth a spirit of commendation? Let every one do this, and how many uncouth things we often see along the street, would be relegated to some retired spot, away from the public eye.

WHY DO THEY LEAVE THEFARM?

Bethlehem has furnished her full quota of young men for the city and one after another are brought back here to be bur fed. Last Tuesday we buried George Hayes, one of our brightest young men. It seems very strange that the boys leave the farm and good health to be shut up In the city to die. It reminds us of the command of general in battle, ''March on and fill up the front ranks" And how Ia 1t with the farmers daughter. They would gladly marry these nice young men if they had staid on the farm, but when once in the city the farmers daugh- ters are left out in the cold, but they have to wait upon their brothers and friends that have brought home paint ed butterfly fro m the city as their intend ed, it only, as she thinks, to adorn the parlor or murder few notes on the pi- ano. Then again, look ut some of these nice young men that have gone to the city. A friend of mine visiting in New Haven, went with the city missionary to the police court. There were brought into the court room nice appearing, we'll dressed young men, that had been in the "lock up' the night before, and their gorgeously dressed parents came there to pay their fine and bail them out. Such Is city life! There are no such peaceful quiet homes as the farmers home.

BISHOP M'MAAoN's WILL.
Requests to Various Churches and |
 Testator's Sister.

Requests to Various Churches and the
 Testator's Sister.
 The will of the late Rt Rev Bishop Lawrence S. McMshon was admitted to probate yesterday. The legscies are $500 each to St Lawrence church, New Bedford, Mass, St James church, New Bedford, Mass, St Francis orphan asy- lum, New Haven, and the St Patrick E orphan asylum in Hartford. To the St water, he gave $75O. He also gave $500 to the St Joseph's hospital of New Bed ford, Mass, or if 1t shall have ceased to exist, that sum is to be divided equally between the St Lawrence church and the St James church of that city. To the priests of the Hartford diocese $1, ,000 is to be distributed for masses and to his sister. Miss Rosanna McMahon, the bishop gives 5000. Any property that he may have held in trust is to be re- turned to the equitable owners and any money that may appear to be due hIm from St Joseph's cathedral shall not be regarded as assets of his estate except so much of it as may be necessary to satisfy the legacies made in the will. All the balance of his estate goes to the St Joseph's cathedral corporation. In a codicil the bishop directs that the legacy to his sister shall be paid first in case his estate shall prove to be insufficient to meet all the legacies made.
 Bishop McMahon received no fixed salary, but was allowed five per cent. of certain collections made in each parish in the diocese. In this way Bishop Mo Mahon realized an income of about $15, 900 per annum. When he was in stalled in his position he decided to give his entire income, with the exception of his living expenses, to the fund which was being raised to complete St Joseph's cathedral. The expense of maintaining the bishops establishment was not small but he managed to keep the amount be- low 5000, and consequently his per sonal donations to the cathedral fund during his reign were more than $100,.
