A PRINTERS LIBRARY.
Tho Government Printing Office the
Only Bureau Without IL Library.


The government printing office has no
library for the use of it's employees. This
omission Public Printer Benedict intends,
if possible. to remedy as speedily as 1t can
be done. Speaking of the matter yesterday
he said: 81 want general library for the
employees here-a library the same as they
have elsewhere for government employees.
And think 1 see my way clear whereby
one may be established without the neces-
sity of an appropriation.
Il hope very soon to make arrangements
with Secretary Smith whereby the en-
ployes of this office may have the use of
the books in the Interior Department
library under such regulations as the Sec
rotary may prescribe. If, however, l can
not make this arrangement, l shall, in my
next report to Congress, recommend that
the employees of the printing office be al
lowed to withdraw books from the Con-
gressional Library under such rules and
regulations as the library committee in
Congress may devise"

EvANGELIsTIC WORKERS.
 The young men from the Christian Alliance, New York, F. B. Brown and R. H. Jamieson, held the first meeting here, Sunday evening, May 12, and so through the week except Tuesday and Saturday evenings. MT Jamieson is a singer and plays the organ. They are to spend some weeks in this town and vicinity, operating perhaps at Corn. wall Bridge. This week they are to hold meetings on Wednesday and Fri. day evenings at the Center schoolhouse On Tuesday evening, at the schoolhouse in College Farms and Thursday evening in the edge of Cornwall. MT Brown is under engagement to go as a missionary to China. Both are earnest young men The meetings are we'll attended, and it is reasonable to predict the accomplish, ment of good. As it is seed time in the natural world so it is seed time in ths world of gospel truth, and go forth weeping bearing precious seed, may come back again rejoicing bringing their sheaves with them. Aside from the sea. son, the fields are all white unto the harvest and it is pertinent duty and privilege to pray unto the Master, tc send forth more laborers into his har. vest.

 in this vicinity as we'll as else where, not
 SC. much to crops as to the fruit. But as
 some one said there was some good in it
 after all, as there might be a few less
 cider apples.
 Mrs Louisa Atwood and mother, Mrs
 Downs, have been visiting in Woodbury
 Mrs Calvin Harvey sprained her an-
 kie 8 week ago, thus making her give up household duties for few days. The road machine is doing some good work through here; the roads needed re.
 pairing, which is being done in fine shape under Selectman Minor.
 Mrs Eugene Atwood is visiting her husbands mother in this place. The woman referred to last week as being insane, who was removed to V. M Barnes, is still under hisscharge, as the authorities cannot determine to what town she is resident.
 We always notice the weather prog. nosticatiOns, as the weather is an impor.
 tant feature in conversation, as also to | the agreeableness to one's self. Prophet Dunn of New York city claims this will be the warmest summer in years. He | also said the past winter was going to De very severe. The hit on the winter was all right but as yet in regard to the symptoms of warm summer, he is way behind. But there is time enough yet Andl as from March to May the days l have lost so many degrees of heat the | summer ones have to make them up, as ! the average temperature of year never
 raises but few degrees, therefore Vt ! ones who are shivering now think of the I days to come.

 The fros's here of last week blasted several straw berry beds in this vicinity whereby we fear the yield will be chang ed here of hundreds of baskets. Some early gardens were somewhat blasted but it is hoped the apple blossoms were not extremely affected so as to lose the entire crop as well as all other fruit trees HOW in bloom. In some houses fireplaces were reopened and stoves put back and heated, which had been laid away for the summer.
 Work progresses rapidly on the altera- tions and additions made to George c. Hopkins residence at Lakeside, under the superintendency of Jerome Titus of New Milford.

 Horace N. Sherman and son have been on the banks of Bee brook nearly every day last week with trout lines and they reported each night a fine catch of the same. Their luck ranged from 12 to 20 each day.
 W. c Beeman purchased or exchanged in Cornwall, last week, fine pair of saddle ponies, which are also nicely broke to harness, which he intends to use in his livery at Lakeside during the coming summer. They are fine drivers, and very easy riders also.

 SOUTHFORD.
A BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENT.

l Since the first message of President l Cleveland was given to critical public, 'sinocuous desuetude'' has become al
 most national by word. Those who have lately imagined that this term
 might be applied to the state of society in our midst were agreeably surprised,
 last Friday evening, to find larger and
 more enthusiastic audience than ever as-
 sembled at the chapel, to listen to the l delightful program arranged for their edification; the good time promised was fully realized. While every selection l was well rendered and thoroughly en- l joyed, Master John Murtaugh, aged l five years, with his winning ways and wonderful voice took the audience by storm. The novel, muscular exhibition l of Indian club swinging by Lee Arm strong also excited great admiration, but l it is unanimously concluded that the in- terest of the occasion was centered in Miss Forman of Brooklyn, who with her sweet voice and elocutionary talent won l the hearts of all. and it is our earnest wish that we may have the pleasure of hearing her again. The Misses Barnes and Pope received a hearty encore after their duet, as also did Miss Cables, who gave several recitations. The financial side of the entertainment is represented by $44 59 in the treasury, which will im- mediately be used to repair the roof of the chapel.
 LADIES JOINING THE RANKS OF THE CYCLIsT.
 Miss Minnie Lewis recently became the owner of bicycle and is already quite proficient in it's use. Miss Lewis is the first lady in Southford to adopt this form of rapid transit, but several others are thinking of following her ex- ample.
