 pr. Geo, A. hawanas leoture ta-alor- row evening on "The Aims Of the Grange and it's Accomplishment" is to be given in the Baptist church instead of the town hall, as announced last week. As the lecture is free and the daetar Is na mean orator, there will doubtless be large at tendance. As the seating accommoda- tions of the church are much more com- fortable than in the town hall, where are those cumbersome voting booths, the kind consent of the officials of the former to use the church edifice will no doubt be appreciated-at least by the ladies.

 -Willimantic Cor. Hartford Courant: |: The fall term of stoprs Agricultural Col lege begun on Tuesday, and the depot in this city showed unmistakahle evidence of that event yesterday. Farmers sons and daughters were arriving in various conveyances, their destination being the beautiful college grounds and buildings which the state has provided for their use. That the farmers of Connecticut are will ing to avail themselves of these opportu- mites is painfully apparent at the present opening season, and the faculty is at it's wits end to make accommodations for the greatly increased numbers. Last year the pupils taxed the sleeping capacity of the college to its utmost and the trustees fore saw that the next year would complicate matters still more. Until the legislature meets there can be but little or no per- manent relief, but the trouble has been temporarily overcome by building num- Der of twO-tier beds. There will be about 125 pupils in the college the coming year. ROCKVILLE.
