About Saving.

Many boys of today hardly know a higher use for any money that comes in- to their hands than spending it for some foolish thing as quick as possible. To such lesson of self-denial and economy is important. As go the boys pennies and dimes, so, very likely, will go the mar's dollars and hundreds by and by. Without having the spirit of a miser, the person accustomed to save has more pleasure in laying up than the spend thrift ever knows. The way to keep money is to earn it fairly and honestly. Money so obtained is pretty certain to abide with its posse ssor. The young man who regularly saves few dollars 8 month, stands better chance to spend the last days of his life in affiuence than many dashing speculator. Financial Review.

Quote, Brother, Quote ,

The CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS wants a new name for Canaan, but it needs a new name itself more than the town. We often wish to quote from it, but refrain because we never take an item from another paper without giving 1t credit, but it takes too much room to credit two-ine item to paper with a six-line title.-Winsted Herald.
 We would suggest to the Winsted Herald that it quote as often as it wish from the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS, and we shall not kick if in order to save labor it credit the items to the Canaan News. or even the Great Canaan News, as has been customary for years; every one will know what newspaper the items are quoted from. But please do not ask us to discard the name, CoNNEo- TICUT WESTERN NEWS. Please remem- Der that the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS and the Connecticut Western Railroad were twin enterprises. When the railroad was in process of construc- tion and the track was being laid near Salisbury, the printing press for the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS was trans ported by wagon from Canaan and reached Salisbury just an hour before the locomotive ever entered the latter village. We all know the history of the twin enterprises. The Connecticut Western railroad died several times and was resurrected several times, but we fear it's name Connecticut Western) that we all loved SO we'll has now departed forever. We would rejoice to see the railroad again come into the possession of it's original owners or their descend ants and have its original name restored. But the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS stlll lives and its name shines with in- creasing lustre.
 Perhaps . rose with any other name would be as sweet. but please do not ask us to change the name of She NEWS, and haul down the flag on which is in- scribed the beloved name "Connecticut Western" The NEWS is the only living representative of that name, and it is not willing to discard the name to please those who find 1t tiresome to write so long a name but would like a shorter one.

Rev Robert Hunts Condition

The editor of the NEWS was very sorry to hear, about ten days ago, that the Rev Robert Hunt, of Sharon, had suffered a stroke of paralysis. The NFws thought best at the time not to publish the ru- nor. hoping that Mir Hunts illness might not prove to be paralysis. But our hopes were not realized. The Val lev Cleaner, of Lee, Mass, under date of Jan. 3l, says:
 A host of Lee friends will learn with deep regret that Rev Robert Hunt, of sharon. Conn.,, has suffered severe stroke of paralysis. Sometime ago he had . very light shock, but last week while attending prayer meeting he was stricken down and he was carried home. One side is entirely paralyzed and he canhot speak audibly. It IS said that the conference sometime ago offered to put MT Hunt on the superanuated list but he said he should decline as long a he was able to preach.
 The Sharon correspondent of the Amenia IN. T. Times of Feb. 3 says:
 Although Rev Robert Hunts con- dition has changed but little since my last writing. the doctor pronounced him as slightly better. He is yet unable to converse with anyone to any great ex- tent and then only with difficulty can he be understood.
 Rev Robert Hunt has a legion of friends in Duchess, Columbia, Berk- shire and Litchfield counties who regret bis illness and hope for his speedy recovery.

My Opinion.

 Editor of Conn. Western Ne,cs:
 Why change the name of our village, because there are so many other Ca naans? Yes, there are quite number of other Canaans. but where is there an other North Canaan in the state of Con- necticut, or in the United States.
 Have there any great works started in Canaan. or any great invention been made here that would suggest to us the name of Great Canaan?
 Wangum may be very pretty name, but as one of our writers says it has very savage sound and would always have disagreeable suggestion of h. dians to us.
 Why should we name Canaan, Sedg- wick? General Sedgwick was not from th,s town, nor, as I can see, did any, thing for it.
 It would seem to me that if we were going to name it after anyone, why shouldn't we name it after some one who has done something for the town? Mir Edmund D. Lawrence has given to the town nice library building stocked with books and reading of the choicest kind.
 Iwould suggest Lawrenceville if there is to be any change in the name of this village, WILT.
