Among the articles of clothing pack ed for the Western sufferers early in January was large, desirable blanket shawl, and attached to it stamped en- velope, addressed .'S. P.

 am glad to say received of Rev s. H. Day (the distributor) the good, warm shawl that this letter came with and was very, very thankful indeed for it. and many other pieces of clothing. We can say with others that if it had not been for the aid that has been sent, we should have gone cold. We have five children -one boy and four girls. Crops have been almost an entire failure for the past two years in this part of the state. We raised little corn both years but no small grain. ** Bread and fuel are the present need.

FIRE |

In a place in Northwestern Connecticut, Shut In by the hills all around, There's not been such display of emotion Since the editor started the notion Ot changing the name of the town. The people have met and had meetings, And surveyors have tramped 10 and fro; And there's been enough of oration To have settled the fate of a nation; But they tell me the thing twas no go." Somebody wanted district,
 To provide protection 'gainst fire. But spirited and hot altercation Produced substantial nsgation To the idea " twas everyone's desire" We'll they've buried the thing in committees, The obsequies were held there last week. And the cleaning of streets and their light
 ment
 Will be left as before the excitement, To the VIA in its way, mild and meek. The tax of two mills hit them heavy. Of expenses the timid were 'fraid; And they voted 'gainst the operation, Afraid of more obligation
 When the sewer pipe should be laid. They have hydrants, hose house and
 hose cart;
 But of hose-not a very great lot. A fire company is not in existence, But fire would meet plucky resistance From a man with sprinkling pot. Now the folks are completely exhausted Ger the excitement among them stirred up, And should thoy have a coDfagration During their present prostration, They'd threw water-wt;h little tin cup. The flowers that bloom in the springtime Will wither and blossom again Before the advance" population Will again ever start the creation Of a scheme like the "lost one" has been.

The Fire District Dead.

The adjourned fro district meeting met in the town clerks office Saturday aftt no ,n. About 30 were present. Mir D. l.. Peirce was chosen moderator, in the absence of MT Tobey, and A. F. Rood resumed his duties as clerk. Mir Reed, of the committe appointed at the last meeting to report new boundaries etc stated that the. committee had no report to present. Messrs $. 0. Beck ley, D. l. Freeman, D. l. Peirce, J. l.. Bragg, Silas Knickerbocker and others made remarks on the subject before the meeting. that is to say the village and it's needs. Mir Kuickerbocker's remarks took the form of series of conundrums, couched in language not wholly free from sarcasm, and tending to elicit in- formation in regard to the V. I. A. and the resources of the Canaan Water Go. The V. L A. was easily vindicated by the moderator, but when Mir Knicker- booker stated that it took three minutes to fill pail of water 8t his house with the mountain water, and that he doubt ed the possibility of saving his house in case of fire with water from that source, but that it might be done if he had a good well, there was DO response but 8 broad expansive smile on the face of the meeting. The meeting tbereupon vot- ed with one or two dissenting votes, to drop the fire district project.
 Thus peacefully expired the Canaan Fire District. And now the question is, What next? We venture one or two suggestions Give the V. l. A. liber- al support and 50 euable it to light the streets and clear the sidewalks. Then for protection against fire, we advise every family or group of families on the side streets to provide themselves with sufficient garden hose to cover their buildings.

Advertising pays: Newspaper adver- Using pays best of all. Our most suc- cessful and prosperous merchants and tradesmen, whose bright record has added imperishable lustre to the history of American commerce, can all testify to this truth from personal experience.
 The newspaper is the commercial traveller in city and country home, who tells at the fireside, to it's evening circle, the merits of your wares and merchsn- disc. if you are wise enough to employ 1t to speak for you. It never is neglect ed, never goes unheeded, never speaks to inattentive or unwilling ears. It never bores. It never tires. It is al- ways Q welcome visitor and meets a cor dial reception. It speaks when the day is done, when cares vanish. when the mind at peace and at rest IS in ifs most receptive mood. Then it is that its story is told and all who read treasure what it says, and are influenced to go where it directs for the thing of which it speaks.
 What other influences can be so potent to help trade as this quiet but powerful advocate?
 Let it become a salesman in every home for your wares. Let it make its mighty plea for your benefit. And we assure you it will do more than all other influences to promote your business and put money in your purse.

The teachers and pupils of the academy give public entertainment every year for the amusement of themselves ard their friends, as we understand it, so that serious criticism of the affair seems out of place. The entertainment con- sisted of two farces. '.Freezing a Mother in-Law" and "The Photograph Gallery, :" and vocal and instrumental musiot The two farces were very amusing and laugh able, especially the scene in the first farce, where the wife-intimidated hus- band who has not been allowed to smoke or enjoy his wines for twenty years. and his scape-grace nephew are indulging themselves in both of these vices in the presence of the dreaded wife, who is supposed to be frozen and unconscious, but is only pretending, 1 Tlle two lovers were just trifs lacking in the exhibition of that fcrvor and i'm petuosity, which we had supposed characterized the behavior of lovers towards each other, when unobserved The instrumental music was good and the same may be said of much of ths singing and it was all am using.

OF fencing in the property yards has been
