THE FIRST BITING FROST.


The first biting frost showed it's teeth
in this neighborhood on Tuesday night,
the sth. Tomatoes, grapes, squashes,
peppers and the tender fruits and vege-
tables were cut down and the harder
ones succumbed the next night. Our ex-
perience is that if frost delayed till
November, there would still be some
stray vegetables and fruit and few
choice pot plants forgotten.
Mrs Lucy A. Carpenter, who has beer
the village dressmaker for many years
has sold her place to w. B. Morgan OF

to Hartford where she has sought admis
sion to home for elderly ladies. Mr.
Carpenter has suffered much from rheu
matism and lung complaints, for severa
| winters and takes this means to provide
| herself with the care which her increas
ing years and infirmities demand. Tn
best wishes of hosts of friends follow he
to her new home. We wish the estab

itself to some of the wealthy philanthro

NEW MILFORD.
THE RECToRY SCHOOL.

THE RECToRY SCHOOL.
New Milford was fortunate indeed in
having so excellent an Institution as the
kectory school, an old established school
for boys locate within It's borders. This
school was formerly located at Ham
den, near New Haven, but the quarters
there were not just what Principal
Everest wanted, so change was made.
Newtown was visited several times with
view of securing property for the loca-
ton of the school. But the Messrs
Everest finally got track of the Rogers
place in New Milford, a superb prop
ertery located On the hill and overlook
ing the Housatonic valley. A school for
boys was at one time carried on here.
Great changes have been made. The
main building has been enlarged, light
and airy school building has been
erected and an attractive chapel pro.
vided. The latter building was taken
down and moved from Hamden. The
capacity Of the school is about 30 pupils,
"a boarders and six or eight day pupils.
The school has a strong force of teach
ers consisting of Rev Haynes L. Everest,
Charles s. Everest, M. A., William G.
Raymond, NJ. A., and Allen J. Holley,
B. A. The school has most gratifying
start in its new location, and the pros.
pect for the future is bright.

The steeple and spire of the Congrega-

assisted in drying by the storm. Little
of it, however, was washed OIL, as the
works were dry and thirsty. The fixings

tracted storm. 1t is pretty late in the
season for such lofty work, but when
the calm comes Mr. Tyrrell and company
will add another coat of paint and re-
move the apparatus. His work on the
parsonage was first class, and those who
have occasion to employ painters for
houses or barns or fences, will find in
them rapid and thorough workmen.

THE WELCOME RAIN,

Never in our remembrance has rain
been more welcome here than the one of
last Saturday and Sunday. Families who
have been dependent for weeks and
months upon one neighbours spring or
we'll, and that spring or well furnishing
for six or more families, put out their
tubs and pals on Saturday and smiled as
they watched them fill. Deeper wells
and springs have not as yet been stirred
but we rejoice that the long dry season
is apparently broken by this storm and
We sincerely hope the extreme scarcity
of water will not again be felt here this
year. This drouth followed SO close on
the severe drouth of last year that more
wells and springs were seriously affected
than was known here last season. Some
of the oldest known, have this year come
very near the bottom.

and cold can't get hold of you. The
use of double-solid and cork soles

be cold and stormy from now on it's
well to be prepared for it.
