 \ The rain of last week was very refresh ing and the response from all nature was manifest. Corn and potatoes are up, and the work of hoeing has begun, as well as that of repairing the roads. Everybody is busy, if able to work and Cesirous of gaining an honest living.
 No one went to the annual meeting of the Home Missionary society at Saratoga. MT Gardner attended the anniversary ex- ercises of the Hartford Seminary at Hart ford.

 A larger number of people gathered than ever before to listen to the child ren's program, Sunday evening. The in- fant class had a larger share in the exer- cises than usual. Their motion songs 'Gentlv falls the rain'' and "Like the Lilies," were very pretty. Several of the little folks had pieces. Recitations were given by Josie Bauman, Mildred Payne, Josie Clark and George More house. Grace Buckingham spoke the piece to stimulate the givers and the in- fant class marched to song and deposit ed their offering in her flower laden basket. The sermon in the morning was addressed to the children who occupied the seats in the middle aisle. ,s-1s Mir and Mrs Starr Kinney spent Satur- day and Sunday with her daughter, Mrs Giddings of Sherman. , zt Rev MT Luddington read letter, Sun day nor 1ing, he had received from Rev pr Newman Symth of New Haven con- demning the anti pool bill, making gam bling under certain restrictions legal 12 days in the year.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE LAKE,

J. Burr Wilson has just completed the Improvements about the Wilson house at the lake, and is naturally pleased that the work is finished The changes give him hotel with 100-foot front. The di- mensions of the entire buildings are something like 100x72. The hotel throughout will be lighted by gas. MT Wilson has continued the transformation throughout the entire hotel, and this pop ular place is bound to be more attractive than ever. MT Wilson began the hotel business here in 1876, and his patronage has grown with the passing years.

It was simple in language, but quite affecting in narration of stories suitable for little folks and others and very impressive.

 MT Kingman is one of the few members of the Legislature who have not been ab- sent single time yet, but he says the business there is just like his mill at the Depot. He gets everything ready for grinding large grist, stones are sharp, water plenty, wheel in splendid order and everything starts off finely but soon nothing comes out of the hopper, and he finds the elevator belt is slipping, the buckets are clogged up and while the mill is grinding away there is no grist coming out, just like the Legislature. We see the major is on the committee for Liteh. field county to see to adopting state flag, and better one for the purpose could not be found. The Hartford Times says he is one of the youngest and ener- getic members of the House, although he is on the list at 64 years.

A REASONABLE REQUEST FROM ROMFORD.
 It is getting to be an every day occur renee to hear of safes being blown to pieces, stores and private houses entered by burglars who carry away all the money they can find and the best the house furnishes to eat. This quiet little place was not forgotten. Last Friday night they entered D. Gillett's store 10 cated in the depot, by prying the door open with some tools gotten from the car house. They went away with about $5.50 in money which was unfortunately left in the draw, and bundle consisting of canned goods, bread, cake, pie, soda water, cheese, etc. s. A. Anderson's cellar has also been ruminated by somo unprincipled wretch, since which time four cans of fruit, one of mince meat and a quantity of corned beef cannot be found. MT Anderson thinks he will have no reason to find fault, considering the hard times, if the light fingered gentleman will be so good as to return | the empty cans.
