IN SOCIETY.

To those who get at all behind the
scenes of society, and know some
thing of the talsities and intrigues
with which il is riddled, the feeling
of unrest becomes terribly Cypress
i've. Life is an everchanging phan-
tasmagoria, where the one individ-
ual assumes half .aedozen forms and
bewilders you by the perpetual
charge included.
And then the distractions of so,
ciety, under the head of entertain
mentl The dinners and at>homes-
the crowded evenings and the fever
ish afternoons-the heavy luncheons,
the deadly suppers, the bad air We
breathe and the distracting noise we
have to listen to in that mingling Of
music and voices, songs and chatterl
OF truth that genial cynic was
right who said that lite would be
tolerable bu: for its pleasures for
the pleasures of the season soon be-
came it's tormen:s, and CALLING is
the whip Of scorpions wherewith we
are chastiset.. And when We add
to this the need of doing an appoints
ed bit of work, we pile Pelion upon
Ossa and lose our heads and 20 near
to lose our lives in the process.
Then we shake the dust Of the
city from of our feet and 90 down
into the quiet soiitudes of the
country for repose after the riot.
The strained nerves come back to
quietude. The exhausted system is
replenished with healthy blood, and
all those mysterious pains and aches,
a1d that more mysterious depress>
ion OF spirits, fades gradually away
like spectres at cockcrow, after a
few waeks or ever days of quiet,
healthy, simple living.-Exchange

THE OFFICE BOT WOULD RESCUE HIM.

The s.heavy editoral'' writer in those was Reuben H. Smith, and the local editor Frank E. Beach. Part of my du- ties consisted in staying in the business office nights, to receive the returns of the newsboys and to take care of any business that I was capable Of that came in. MT Smith and MT Beach used to drop in about every evening, and I thought it a great honor to be thus as sociated with these moulders of public opinion. I remember that upon a cer- tain occasion Editor Smith commented very severely upon the acts of judge of the police court. The judge was very much offended and caused the arrest of the editor, charging him with contempt of court, tried the case himself and sen- tenced hin to pay fine of $75 and costs or stand committed, in default of payment. to the New Haven county jail. MT Smith was properly indignant and refused to pay the fine, whereupon he was sent to jail. The flee boys were at white heat abaut the matter and seriously considered the project of get ting their friends together and attempt ing a rescue at the railroad station while Mir Smith was in transit, but the older men, hearing of the plan, talked us out of it, thereby probably saving us from at least broken heads. The manage ment of the American wished to pay the fine, but MT Smith would not allow it,
 
 there, however, only short time when he was released, just how l have for gotten. He returned to his desk in the American office and signalized his re- turn by a most scathing article upon the abuse of power by corrupt judges. We boys gloried in his spunk, although we feared he would again suffer, but nothing more came of it.-[W. H. Margold in American.

The sixth annual concert and ball of Putnam Council, No, 54, at the Town hall, Newtown, Monday night, New Years eve, will go on record as the most successful social gathering the Council has ever held. Over 100 couples were present and the dancing continued till be- tween 3 and a. m. The hall never looked more attractive in it's dress of bunting and flags, the decorating being done by E. H. Smith of Bridgeport. The prevailing colors were green and white. The baroness of the walls was entirely covered by the graceful folds of the bunting. At each window lace curtains were suspended. Butterfly designs pre- vailed in the decorating, the stars and stripes adding color to the main body, white and light green. The entire gal lery front was covered with bunting. The stage looked very attractive, the stars and stripes being used mainly in decorating. About 2OOO yards of bunt- ing were used in the decorating, which was highly pleasing to the committee. The officers of the evening were as fol- lows:
 Grand conductor, NJ. H. Brennan.
 Assistant grand conductor, Patrick F. Madi- gan.
 Reception committee, John F. Houlihan, John F. Heating and Frank McGran.
 Floor committee. John Sheehan, James J. Green, Patrick c. Bradley, Richard J. Quinn John F. McNamara and T. J. Keating.
 Executive committee, James McNamara, M. J. Heating, Thomas L. Kohler, John W Lillis, Patrick Mccarthy. M. c. Hourigan, M. H. Lillis and John C. McGran.
 The music for the occasion was fur nished by the Danbury orchestra, and was first class. At midnight there was an intermission, when most of those pre- sent repaired to the Grand Central to do justice to the excellent spread prepared by Mine Host Houlihsn. Many were present from adjoining towns, Danbury, Bridgeport, Bethel and Brookfield being represented.

A FINE MONUMENT.

One of the largest and finest monu- ments in any cemetery in this section, has just been erected in our new ceme- tery, by Charles J. Hughes, of the Strat- ford Granite Works. It is from the eel ebrated Barre, Vt, granite, in sarcopha- gus form, surmounted by large draped urn. The total weight of the monument is about 15 tons, the bottom base weigh ing some over five tons. It took five pairs of horses to draw it into the ceme- tery. One front of the monument bears the record of the death of George H. Smith and Maria Hawley, his wife, one end that of the father, mother and broth- CTS. The other front is intended for the family of E. s. Hawley, and the name Hawleys appears in large raised letters on the second base. The other end has the record of the death of son of Mr Hawley's. Handsome polished markers with initials on top, mark each grave. The whole job is finished in the first class style ia which Mir Hughes work is always done. Ten barrels of cement were used in the foundations, which was constructed under Mir Hawley's immedi- ate supervision.

 A large number attended the concert and Christmas exercises in the Metho- dist church on Christmas night. The choir rendered some choice selections of music. They were assisted by Mir and Miss Wileman of Bridgeport. The Christmas tree was large and beautiful one, being an evergreen presented by Mrs M. A. Nichols and which was taken from her grounds.

NOT DRY AS STATISTICS, BUT CHARMING
 AS A STORY.


 No one must get the idea about MT
 Gibson's lecture that is to be given in
 the Town hall on Wednesday evening,
 January 3, that, because it treats of bot any, it is ssdry.n That is the charm
 about the lecture all the way through, and that is what holds the attention of
 the audience spell bound from beginning
 to close, that MT Gibson can envelop
 with such beauty and delight study
 that was supposed heretofore to be only
 for the one fond of acquiring hard facts, Merely technical terms are carefully ex- cluded, and, with beauty of style that amazes as much as the wonderful facts about our common flowers that are dis. closed, the lecturer leads young and old | joyfnlly and expectantly along his path of mystery and delight. Children fol. low the lecture with rapt attention farmer-folks give their verdict of ap
 plause; and students, who have though' deeply before, think all the more deeply now. This entertainment is as lar above

CHRISTMAS AT THE CONGREGATIONAL
 CHURCH.

CHURCH.
 On Christmas night concert was held in the Congregational church under the auspices of the Sunday school. It con- sisted of recitations by the scholars, both single and in classes. Some exceedingly fine music was rendered by Miss Phoebe Beard's class. A letter from Rev W. F. Japan was read by the pastor and was very interesting indeed, and last but not least poem was read hy Miss Elizabeth Beard entitled "Christmas greeting" After this candy and oranges were dis tributed among the scholars. After this the benediction was pronounced and all adjourned.
 The prayer meetings which have been held in the Congreg gational church will be continued. It seems strange that of as many members as this church can boast so few attend the prayer meetings. But dear friends when we realize that our Saviour has suffered for us, ought we not, then, to do as little service as attending his meetings. Oh, it is too cold or it is so far to drive in the night! In the South, and, also in the West, I have known people to ride 10 and even 15 miles to church. I am not clergyman but "all the same can see.' Stop and think friends.-[*
