ASHFORD.
WestfOrd Correspondence.

-Wm. Griggs is to move his steam saw mill here from Stafford, and will saw a large lot of lumber for Charles Thayer. Mir. Works will move his mill from J. F. Dawley's lot to West Ashford, where he has bought a large wood-Iot of Henry Woodland.
 The following from the Windham County Standard will be of interest to local readers, as MT. and Mrs. Miller re- sided in Eastford and Westford for about 30 years, from their marriage, December 25, 1949:
 Mary T., wife of William G. Miller, whose death occurred on February 21 , was born in Providence, November 16, 1880. She was daughter of William and Betsy Cook. For the past seven years she had been an invalid and confined to the house. She was a noble Christian, whose life was full of good works and kind acts, and every aim and effort was to make the community in which she re- sided stronger. Her death will be most sincerely mourned by 8 large circle of friends in western Windham county. She leaves husband and one sOE, Charles W. Miller, who with his wife, has resided with his mother during the years of her poor health. In contemplating her beau- tiful character we learn many lessons, lessons of a life we'll spent in Christian service, and later the putting aside of the armor to bear with fortitude the years of suffering which were imposed upon her. Her daughter-in-law's loving devotion and care cannot be forgotten.

It is not surprising that the peninsulaI
 student should explode under moderate
 concussion, as he is now doing all over
 Spain and Italy, the first in blind and
 bowling rage against the United States, and the latter against the victorious but remote and inattentive Negus of Ahys- sinia. But their is no reason why their example should be followed here, and the impetuous youth of Chicago and Evanston, who have just been tearing the Spanish flag to tatters and hanging in eff1gy the Spanish king, might have em- plOyed their time to much better pull pose. In the Mediterranean countries the authorities shut up the schools when their inmates become too Obstreperous, an expedient not yet found necessary here, where the student class is not commonly found 8 menace to social order. Still, it is clear that they have yet some lessons of conduct and self-control to master, un- less they are willing to drop to the level of the impetuous and hot-headed youth of Madrid and Barcelona and Naples, who are now in such a violent state of effervesence. Nobody wishes to believe this of them, and the best thing they can do now and hereafter is to cherish their own flag, without violating any other, and to have nothing to do with stuffed kings on any pretence or pretext.-Neac Fork Tribune
