ROBERT KNIGHT BASSETT.

On October II, lS93, Robert Knight BassCtt left NeWtOWn for Colorado in search of a climate where the seeds of the dread disease, consumption, might be driven from his system, His search was unavailing for on Monday his hfeless body was returned tu NcwLown, and the sudden news of his uutimely death was shock to his many friends. .dr Bassett first went to Colorado Springs to try the climate there and after a short stay fin ally settled at littleton, a town about 7j miles from Colorado springs. Here he improved in health rapidly and at the end of six months he had gained in flesh and was feeling much better, so much so that he had opened an undertaking eS- tablishmcut in the town and had been doing very nicely. Almost without warning, as he was returning to his boarding place on Friday, April v, he was taken with most severe hcmOT rhagC, not having had one before in six months. Word was telegraphcd to his parents, Mir and Mrs A. W. Bassctt, of his condition, and Mrs Bassett started immediately for the sick room of her son. She arrived at LittletOn on the following Monday. She found him failing, although the doctors gave some hope of his rallying, if the cu,orrhagcS could be stopped. This was impossible, and on Friday, May II, his young life went out to meet it's Maker
 Mrs Bassctt started on her sad homeward journey as soon as possible, arriving home on Monday evening. The deceased was young man of excellent character and had endeared himself to a large cir Cle of friends who mourn with the mme- diate family the Prov idence that should thus early cause his bright young life to be removed, for he was but l9 years ot age. The funeral was held from St Johns church. of which Mir Bas.ett was a member, on Thursday afternoon at o'clock, Rev Mir Wright officiating. The pail bearers were Me,srs Frank McGran, Robert Butcher, Harry Taylor. Ralph and Charles Betts and George Tugnot. There were large number of very beau tiful floral tributes The iuterment was in the Berkshire cemetery.

GRANGE TOPICS.

The program for the next meeting of Pohtatuck Grange, May 2l, it is expect- ed will be as follows: The growing of small fruits, strawberries, D. c. Peck ; raspberries, II. C. Beers; grapes, J. J. Schermerhorn; suggestions wanted about the growing of entrants and gooseber- ries. Readings or reeitations, Mrs w. c. Johnson, Mrs A. c. McArthur, Miss Ada Peek, William Northrop, Homer Baldwin, Ernest Hawley,W w. c. Johnson.
 It is almost inevitable that in prepar- ing program to extend so far, and in- clude even no more than should be will ling to have part in it, some mistakes apd omissions should be made. It was found, when too late to correct them be- fore the circulation of the program, that such mistakes and omissions have inad- vtrtantly been made. The fault is due entirely to the lecturer, who hopes to cor rect them from month to month as may be found necessary.
