It biesses the place where it is, and it is good no one can trace to their end. Up- son Seminary, in the village of New Preston, is one of the best schools of which we know, and we propose to speak few words of hearty praise for it here. In the first place, the situation of the school is well nigh unsurpassed. It is large square white house located on the summit of hill, as you are travelling north from New Milford and, before en- tering the village of New Preston, turn on a road to the right that leads to one of Connecticut's famour summer resorts, the charming town of Litchfield. This house is landmark in the midst of a beautiful rural landscape. The house, 41x56 on the ground floor, is roomy and spacious, and piazzas on the sides sug- gest roominess, comfort and rest. Noth- ing about the house suggests the idea that it was built for show; the architec- ture is not ornate or elaborate-no pin nacles, gables or anything that is put on for effect, but there are the pleasantly shaded lawn, the big trees and lying be- heath is the beautiful valley. It is far away from the noise and tumult of great cities, just the place where boys may come and escape a great deal of what is vicious and bad and, under the ennobling influences of a Christian home and nat ural surroundings, build up sturdy, man. ly characters.
 Everyone who visits New Preston falls in love with it. As summer resort it's attractions never weary; the passing years cannot take away the charm of it's valley, the loveliness of it's hills. Pro- fessional men, exhausted with the heavy demands of their labor, have long sought it's restful seclusion as grateful boon. Nature with her mountains has effectu- ally blocked the way for what is demor- alizing in city life and the pristine grand eur of that which is truly Natures own, must ever remain. Lake Waramaug, about five miles in length, is the center of New Preston's beauties, it is the crown jewel in an exquisite setting. It is more like winding river than lake. Abrupt hills rising from it's shores close it in, and their lofty summits look down into the crystalline depths to behold their own woody shadows. At it's south erp end the lake issues in foaming stream, which pours down through a narrow valley and furnishes water pow CT for many little shops and mills. These, together with the rugged farms that lie upon the slopes, form the village of New Preston. Of course, this lake furnishes constant source of attraction to the boys from the school, as they make their paddles gleam in it's dancing waters, oI haul the unwary members of the finny tribe from it's glassy depths. Then there
 is the bathing and skating, which are en
 joyed by the boys as the seasons come round. Then there are many other pla
 ces near by to which excursions, undel charge of the principal of his assistant

NOTES FROM THE SEMINARY.

This institution has happily finished quarter of century of useful and happy life and is still prosperous.
 Mir and Mrs Upson took trip to New Haven, New London and several other places immediately after the close of the school year. Invitations to two we'd dings came to early for them, one to the marriage of Col Cheney's son, grandson of Dr Horace Bushnell of unspeakably precious memory, to the daughter of the mayor of Hartford; the other the mar riage of "a daughter of captain of the 18th regiment, c. V, to re- cent Yale graduate. Miss May Cato went with them to New Haven and at- tended the exercises of Yale commence ment, glee club concert, etc. Many will regret to learn that this most refined and intelligent young lady has suddenly been called to return to Japan before finishing her education in this country, as contem- plated.
 MT Upson took in the annual meeting and banquet of the Army and Navy club at the Fort Griswold house, opposite New London. At this meeting of from POO to 300 old soldiers, mostly officers, Hon c. 5. Bushnell read an interesting paper on the building of the Monitor. The supper, with speeches and music, usually lasts from four to eight hours None but old soldiers know the charm. Col Cheney is president of the club.
 MT and Mrs Upson also took in the Yale-Haryard boat race (alas for poor old Harvard9 and the concert by the Am herst glee club in the evening at New London.

 All readers of THE BEE must cherish special interest in anything of marked distinction within the bounds of it's ter ritory. A good newspaper is a uniting force that obliterates town and county lines only to bring together larger com- munity; a newspaper, well conducted, should keep it's readers from getting mar row and warped in their views; it should never let them fall into the notion that all good things are centered in their town. Once in while we should look over the fences into our neighbors' fields and see if they do not raise some pro- ducts as good, or perhaps better than our own.
 THE BEE proposes to enter into this educating work-it proposes to tell the people of each town in what it may call it's diocese of the good things, well wor thy of mention, of which their neighbors are the fortunate possessors. Nothing can be better for any community in it's elevating influences than good school

blocks. during which five shots were
fired by the police. created the widest
excitement among the residents of that
neighborhood.
The Twenty-second street police sta

Dominick Henry was on that post.
Capt. Gallagher was calling the mid
night roll, when Henry's attention was
called to the cries of "Policer Help"

Henry recognized them at a glance

ly pressed by the officers. Both police
men sent shots from their revolvers.
At Twenty-second street Coffee turned
towards Third avenue. followed by
Henry. while Doherty continued up the
avenue. Henry fired another shot. but
Coffee again escaped unframed.
Coffee continued running until he
