 COUNTY.
 By the recent death of Ex-Judge Miles Y. Granger of North Canaan, William Cothren, the historian of Ancient Wood bury, becomes the senior lawyer in active practice now residing in Litchfield couu- ty, both in age and date of admission to the bar. He was born in November, 1919, and was admitted to the bar in October, 1915. He is one of that band of ambit ious and talented young men that came to the bar in the early forties and have | taken q leading part in the mOmentous events of the past half century. It has | been vouchsafed to them to perform their life-wotk in the most remarkable half century since the dawn of creation. 1t has been the ml st remarkable, in what ever light it may be viewed, whether in human activities of every kind, or in in- tellectual achievements of every kind, or in the laying of solid four datiOns for the welfare of the race in every position in 1 life. Progress in everything has been 1 the watchword of our age, and wonder | l dom laid up for the benefit of succeeding generations. The greater number of this l favored band has fallen, as the march went oD, as the leaves fall in golden tint ! ed autumn, while warning in the fore front of the battle of life. A few remain | still engaged in the heat of the contest in wejghty affairs; still the leaders in the active thought of humanity, still safeguards of the best interests of the people in state and nation, in the various ! legal, judicial and official stations. Not. able among these are Senators Platt and Hawley, Ex-Chief Judge Park, Ex NJ. c. John T. Waite and Hon Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich, Ex-Gov Charles R. Inger- soil, Ex-Gov Henry B. Harrison, Ex- Speaker Hilton E. Doolittle, Ex-Judge ! l.. E. Munson, Hon H. T. Blake and Hon ] A. D. Osborne of New Haven; Col w. " B. Wooster of Derby, Ex-Judge Dwight Looms, Ex Judge Elisha Carpenter, Hon Charles R. Chapman, Ex-Reporter John Hooker, and Hon Charles E. Perkins of Hartford; Ex-M. c. Augustus Brandgee of New London; Ex-Judge John W. : Webster and Ex M. c. Stephen W. kel, lrgg If Waterbury; Ex-M. c. Warner of Norwalk and others. They have wrought well and their works will follow them ip the thoughts of a grateful people a5 they pass from the active scenes of life to the Great Beyond.

AT THE CONGREGATIONAI.C CHURCH,
 The lecture by Rev Mir Carter, last Friday night, at the Congregational church, brought cut good audience, The audience, by the aid of the stefeop. ticon, were taken on an imaginary trip through Europe. They were fret given view of New ork harbOr. Among the views thrown on the canvas was the mag oticent cathedral at Cologne. Many scenes in the mountains and valleys Cf Switzerland were shown The views ir Venice and Milan were interesting. The lecture concluded with a view of the church in which the lecture was held, which the speaker thought was more at tractive in some respects than the cathe- drals of Europe. The only improvement he could suggest would be the building of a Sunday school as, embly room, which i5 needed in the work.

MR RETHER'S EXPERIENCE.

MRBEUHERS s EXPERIENCE.
 Charles Beuher came near losing his fife on the lake cutting ice at the north end, The water had flowed on to it and he supposed it safe enough, the ice cut being nine inches thick. But the part he stood on suddenly gave way, and he fell into th8water where it was 15 or 20 feet deep. He would probably have drown. ed, had not Jerome Granniss, coming from the north upon the lake, saw him standing on the ice with his saw, He looked half a minute later and he did not see hlm. He gave the alarm and hasten ed to the spot after hitching his horse in the road near the spot. Another man was with him. They carried pole and Beuher, nearly exhausted, had got one arm stretched out on the ice and they were able to get him out. He had on high rubber boots which of course filled with water, and if he had put both hands on to the ice his feet would swung under and so prevent getting bis weight on the ice. Ice cutters know something about this. 4 stranger might think it an easy thing for strong man to extricate him. self very readily from his imperiled posi- tiop, but he has fearful odds against him in the way his lower extremities refuse to sympathize with his upper extremities and his will power. Those who have had experience in this business have no curiosity to try the experiment, but the ice after it is cut and housed is very convenient article of commerce during the warm season and the blessings real ized from it's use compensate for the labor and peril, if any, in gathering it. The risk is minimum, the benefit maxi. num-
