LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
An Appropriate Name For Canaan.

An Appropriate Name For Canaan. Dear Mr. Editor:
 The writer has been greatly interested in certain articles appearing in your journal touching the name of your de- lightful village. Various names have been spoken of, present and prospective infelicities noted regarding more or less of them. and reference made to present difficulties and incongruities. Wsngum. Big Canaan, Great Canaan have been suggested. With all deference to those names, and to those presenting them, I beg leave to say that the name of names, suitable, easily spoken, euphonious, and properly suggestive, has been over looked. I confess my surprise that it has not been suggested before. But the place itself is surprising. How came it to De placer No tide water, no water power, nothing to invite com merce or manufacturing. Once it was simply-or near by-Canaan Corners Now the Corners are iron and of plain architecture. It is but the truth to say that as far as attractiveness is con- cerned, or has been, there is nothing specially inviting as regards scenery. business, or Isoil; nor has there been since the days of John Barstow to mine host Warner. But there is an attract iveness-wonderful. powerful, and it lies in the people themselves. Not that the men are 80 much more robust or manly, or the women 30 much more beautiful and womanly- but in the evident supreme content of all. Contentment, another name for happiness, appears on every countenance. Happy themselves. the people endeavor to make all corners SC likewise. The writer was at the said Canaan short time since, and getting of the cars with 6 friend, he (the friend said. "Let us go SO and so and get din. ner." The objection was made that il was little late, our coming would be unexpected, etc., etc. "No," said the friend, everybody in Canaan expects some other body to come to dinner each day" We went as suggested. The words of the friend were true. Evi dently we were expected. The man oI the house said so, and his wife said 80 and all the household said so, and tho waiting dinner was tangible proof fol the assertions made. The family seemed perfectly contented. The excellent re past made us wholly SO, at least pro tenn My friend. frequent visitor at you place, said this was but a specimen O Canaan's happiness and Canaan's desire to have everybody else happy. NJ wonder the village is prosperous. N, wonder it grows. No wonder it assume, goodly proportions. It is of the people by the people, for the people. I wan to live in Canaan. Your youthful friend A. GREENE HORNE, Eso.
 Litchfield Co.,, January, 1894.
 P. s. I notice having omitted thu name to be suggested. It is "Happ. Canaan" better than Big" better thar "Great. Happy Canaan"-think o it from which to date letters-to whicf receive them. Then the calling out or the carson arrival of trains. Gan any thing be added? Is there ought else te be desired?
