Joe Towards "Reminiscences MT. Dana was managing editor and a cor respondent of metropolitan journal. Abraham Lincoln had signed proclama- tion, the first call for troops during the civil war. think it was in April, 1861. Then I was in Washington at the time, and, being impressed in my little journal istic heart with the importance of the oc- casion, I ventured, as an introduction to the literal proclamation phrase, upon a quotation from 0 favorite hymn in our family circle, 'worded thus:
 "We are living, we are dwelling, in a grand and awful time,
 In an age on ages telling, to be living is sublime"
 "What, then, must it be to be a factor in the affairs of nations, such as Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States, who tonight has affixed his signature to the proclamation ?" And then followed the Lincoln document. Two days after ward I received from Brother Dana by mail, not by wire, a cautionary suggestion to the following effect:
 "Dear MT. Howard-After this, if in your dispatches, you really must drop in. to poetry, telegraphy being four cents a word, won't you kindly wire us the mum. Der of the hymn, as we have the book in the officer"

Springfield, october 1891. Fur Capes at One-Third off
 Regular Prices.

Listen while we tell the story. <:
 At the beginning of the present season everybody talk ed furs. Manufacturers of cloth garments rushed into the fur garment-making business, and the result is a glut in the fur market.
 A first class manufacturer got caught in the rush. Couldn't compete with other makers. No way left for him but to swallow his loss and sell out the stock, bag and baggage, and everything at what he could get.
 Having bought very spar ingly of furs while retailers everywhere were laying in large stocks, we were in cX- cellent shape to take advan- tage of just such an uncx- pected opportunity. Can't help the manufacturers mis- fortune, we're as sorry for it as anybody, but it was left for us to secure the plum for Springfield, and we did.
 And the garments arc all new and first-class in every respect, honestly and scicn- tihcally put together, and guaranteed to be made of whole skins-not small pieces patched together. Qualities and prices for everybody.
 $4,65 to $25O the Garment.
 And you get them at the right time; just when you need them most, and have the whole season to enjoy them. Everybody will want them, and there won't be any other fur capes sold in Springfield while these last. Can't tell how long they will last, but when this news becomes thor oughly known the rush will begin.

Fair Notes.

At Stafford Springs, Tuesday, Wednes- day. Thursday, October, 9th, 10th, 11th.
 The school officials of Monson and the management of the academy have voted to close all schools in town for one day of the Stafford fair, according to custom, this being the only one of the neighbor- hood fairs so noticed.
 The bicycle prizes, gold watch, silver waiter, pitcher, spoons, etc., make pret- to display in Hanley's window, the aggre- gate value being nearly $35O.
 Citizens Band is engaged as usual for three days of the fair.
 Reserved seat tickets for the grand stand will be put on sale at Heald's drug store tomorrow (Friday) morning.
 Now begin to plan what you will do for the fair. Exhibits are what make the fair. Let local pride be added to desire to prove your skill in stock breeding, ag- riculture, housewifery and handicraft, and to bear off the premiums offered.
 Will the fair be success? Well, the only possibility of failure lies in the wealth. CT.
 The G. A. R. the Relief Corps and the s. of V. will again occupy the dining hall at the fair next week. As usual the amount made will go into the Memorial Hall Fund. Everybody wants to encour- age the growth of this fund. A good and easy way to do it is to help to furnish the table for the fair. Every contribution helps to swell the receipts. The Relief Corps has made an efficient and success full canvass. There may be others who would like to help who have not been asked. If such persons will send word son, the president of the Relief Corps, or to Mrs. Nela Weston at the Hollow, by tomorrow evening, they will help good cause. What is wanted is cooked food of any kind, potatoes, and especially to agree to make chicken pie, the chick ems being furnished. The food donated will be called for next week, and the chickens brought when they are wanted. Per order committee.
 Don't forget that competition is open and free to all. No membership or fee is required. And that exhibits left at Burr's store will be cared for, displayed for ex- hibition, and, if desired, taken back to the same place to await the owners call. List of entries-bicycle races:

 We attempt to joke sometimes, and therefore know how it is ourselves. We have learned by painful experience that we have to be very careful when and where and to whom our witticisms are uttered; lest we sorely hurt somebody's feelings, we, meanwhile, as innocent as a newborn babe of any intention of wound ing the feelings of anyone in the least. We are prepared, therefore, 10 heartily sympathize with the author of the witti- cism in the last number of The Press, at the expense of the Hollow, in the para graph on No License" Contrary to all expectations it did not seem at all funny, but it was indignantly resented. We re- fer to the words excepted to as witti- cism It must have been meant for such for the writer, of course, knows that the Hollow is as free from "toughs'' who go about seeking ''jags'' as any community of similar size in the state of Connecticut. The writer intended that the Hollow should enjoy the joke, but it didn't. Ii felt hurt rather. Therefore we sympa- thize with the writer, for we have had our witticisms act the same way. All's well that ends well, however. No license car ried, and the Hollow made the majority q handsome one.
 The school boys of the Hollow are not feeling as badly this week as they did last. They played the Hydeville boys here on last Saturday. The game stood 2O-19 in favor of Stafford when the game was called in the Stafford's fourth unfin. ished inning on account of darkness.
