NEW PRESTON HILL.

"All's well that ends well'' and so it was with our church Sunday school pic nic which one while looked as though ii was going to be failure owing to 3 ser. ious disagreement that had arisen as to where it should be held.

Ackley' E in Merryall and it was complete sue cess. A large number were present and all were happy and did full justice to the tables loaded down with viands that were
 enticing. We had quite fine display of | fireworks on the Hill in the evening also an address by Rev MT Lewis.
 On Sunday Rev MT Lewis exchanged l with Rev MT Vaughn of Roxbury, who preached for us and administered the communion. Mrs Vaughn accompanied him. MT Vaughn preached fine sermon to good sized audience. We had an ex- ceptionalIy large choir present and the singing was unusually good. Perhaps il | was because some of the choir had beer absent for two or three Sundays and | were conscience stricken, or else. were | imbued with enthusiasm because so many | were present to assist them.

WATERFOWL,
A "SOFT" SNAP IN HARD" TIMES.


 There is an old saying that some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. The other day, meeting Henry R.. Hckox, N. B. Miller and A. A. Dains, the truth of the above statement was pre- sented to the writer in new connection. These gentlemen had been fishing over at Lake Winnamaug and as received the results of their piscatorial efforts thought that while some men are born fishermen and others achieve fame in that line by perseverance, they seemed to have the fish vertically thrust upon them. There were 265 of them, most of them of fair size, and had they kept all the little ones and had not some wriggled off the hook at the critical moment, the total would have been over 300. This fish story is true. THE BEE reporter saw the fish and will attest it's correctness, and you know reporter never prevaricates- not even in fish story.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MIR
 O'HARA.

ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MIX
 O'HARA.
 Last Sunday afternoon in the beauti- fu) cemetery at Washington, and be- heath sombre skies which seemed touched with sadness, were laid away the remains of Manly O'Hara. Born in this town, B years ago, we had seen him grow to youth and manhood and enter upon the active duties of life. His education was gained in his native town, and his active mind caught by intuition, and utilized what to many others is only acquired by study. His earlier years were spent upon the farm later, he en- tered the employ of the Echo Farm Com pany at this place, where his industry and recognized abilities raised him to the position of superintendent of their large creamery, which place he held un- til failing health caused him reluctantly to give up his duties and seek restora- tion of strength. But as shining mark, the grim tyrant Death had chosen him for his own. He went down in the strength of noble young manhood; the loved form was laid low, the cheerful voice is forever still on earth, we shall see his pleasant face no more; sadness has fallen upon the little village which knew him so well. Of none than he car it be more truely said that he was ssar honest man," his was character with. out reproach, possessing qualities o1 heart and mind that eEdeared him to all who knew him, and fitted him for all the duties of the highest citizenship. As ar officer of the town he was respected by all. Mir O'Hara was highly esteemed member of Rising Sun lodge, F. and A M, of this place, and had ably filled every position to which he was called 1T I the order which he loved so well. Al secretary of the lodge, the well kept rec ords in the hand we alrrecognized, attes his pains and care. Being honored by Ito the masters chair, he presided ove I the deliberations of his lodge with digni l ty and grace. MT O,Hara was mem Der of Ousatonic Chapter, No. B, Roya I Arch Masons, New Milford. and had beel an officer in that body; he was also mem Der of Buell. Council, Litchfield. Near l ly 100 members of the Masonic fraternit, I attended to do honor to the remains I A special train arrived from Litch l field bearing members of Buell. Council I The Grand Master of the state, Most WOr shipful Henry O. Warner, of New Mil I ford, was also present.
