MORE SEATS ARE TO Bz HAD.

In order to accommodate the extraor-
 dinary demand for reserved seats for Dr
 Lyman Abb0tt's lecture at the Town hall, next Tuesday evening, December ,camp
 chairs are to be placed rh the aisles and
 the platform will be nlled with settees.
 These seats on the platform will not be
 conspicuous for any one, as there will be room for 50 or more persons; they will indeed be f&r better than those in the ex- treme rear of the hall. Let no one fall to make the effort 10 secure seat ever now. pr Abbott q CIV thousandso of Bos. tons most cnttured people to hear him, when he delivered the Lo we'll lectures or Eyoluti0n ,n some two years ago.

A GOOD IRRIGATION.

Medical practitioners of prominence are prescribing for the cure of diseases springing from derangement of the di- gestive organa, pr David Kennedy 's Remedy. The professional endorsement Is justified by the fact that 10 other prep arafion has been found so .efflcacions in that class of disorders, evenin the most advanced and severe cases. It has cured gravel in the kidneys, stone in the blad- der and inflammation of the kidneys, where all other medicines have failed. It can be purchased of any druggist. A book is wrapped about each bottle, ex- blaming it's use.

THE eRAr,s PLAIN QUESTION TO DATE.

There has been little change in the standing of the Gray's Plain school:ques- tion during the past week. On last week Thursday, an injunction was granted re straining any more molestation with Miss Ryan in her attempt to keep school and since that time the school has been regularly kept, but the attendance is small, very small, only four or five scholars attending the school. As was expected Messrs Winton, Bradley and Homer and Munson Clark were arrested for assault and the trial, which has been postponed, is to take place Monday, Dec. 3, a. m., at the Town hall. Another feature of the case is the opening of 8 private school in the district by Miss Georgie May Winton, granddaughter of MT Winton's.

BREAKING THE RECORD.

Seventy-four rese rved seats were sold for Dr Lyman Abbott's lecture on the first day of sale at R. H. Beers & Co., store in the street. This rather eclipses all former records in Newtown. As THE BEE goes to press, few more good seats are still to be had. If you have not secured your seat, go to R. H. Beers & Go. at once. A few of the seats un- sold elsewhere may be brought to R. H. Beers and Go. on the last day, Decem. Der 4. Look out for them.

 But now the bard can pipe afresh
 another lay, celebrate the transplanting
 of the hedge schools of Ireland and
 France to the icy northern slopes of Shi-
 loh's hills. But this move is two-edged
 sword, likely to cut both ways. Connec- | ticut statutes provide that school may
 be closed, and an appropriation refused
 when the average attendance falls below
 tt e statutory minimum of eight in any
 year. Go slow; that bugaboo board has already considered the project of lessen ing expenses by consolidating parts of districts in which the average attendance did not warrant the town in paying for a teacher. Go slow; don't tamper with buzz saw when in motion.
 With the road order source of revenue withrawn at last town meeting the peo- pie of this bellicose district may find it burdensome to maintain this anachronism on the Donlon Flats.

There may be no A. P. As in Gray's Plain, but there's the makings ot a large number. What IS the remedy for such state of affairs? We must fight fire with fire.
 And now in conclusion it has been said that this disposition of the Gray's Plain matter will hurt the political party to which the writer belongs. Perhaps. But what does farmer do with the pestilent wild carrot? Pull it up root and branch. What does the physician do with mad dog bite? Cauterize it. The surgeon with a gangrened limb? Excision.

a CANADIAN TWILL CHIT.

The white mists gather on marsh and fen,
And down by the rivers edge
The tide is tapping the fibrous grass.
And the snarls of sea green sedge.
Away in the west the sunset glow
Fades out Of the cold gray sky,
And up from the reeds that bend and
quake,
Comes the red necked looms weird cry.
-whi-oo-who-wi, whi-oo 20 who-wi,
INDEPENDENTLY
The fisher boats in the lonely bay
Lie anchored serene and still.
A red light CLEANS like a far faint star
From the dim crest of the hill. =.
The wind through the high limbed poplar
trees +.
Is sweet as some quaint old tune,
Yet sadder, sweeter than grooming wind.
Pipes the single red necked loon.
"Oh-Oo-whi-oo-who- whi-oo = who-wi,
whi-oo-who-wi!'
From shadowless heights the night creeps
down .s-
And mufaes the sounding shore,
The still white boats CLEAN spectral and
thin,
And the red light shows no more.
Yet ever across the darkening world
Creeps the rivers monotone,
And the pensive, plaintive murmuring
OF the red necked loon alone,
"Oh-oo-whi-oo-who-wi. whi-oo - who-wi,
whi-oo-who-wi!'

A private letter from England de-
clares that women there are wearing
their bonnets and hats perched on the
back of the head, where they look for
all the world as IL they were likely to
fall off any moment. This is especially
true of the small bonnets, of which Eng
lish women are so fond, and they are
worn hanging ON the cushion of hair,
which is gaining steadily in favor. 1t
isn't probable that the fashion will
reach here for two seasons yet, as it
takes about that time for a style in mil
linery Oh h~airdressing to get to this coun-
try. I
To prove that it is only necessary to
look at the Alpine, Tyrol or English
walking hat, as it is called, which has
been adopted this summer by New York
women. Three years ago similar shapes
were seen in all the London shops, bnt
not more than half q dozen American
women would bring them home. It has
taken ever since for the style to get here.
