The Center school closed on Friday in order that the old schoolhouse may be removed. It is easy to see, even in the midst of the present disorder that the improvements being made under the direction of MT Whittemore will prove of great advantage to the town. The Center will be beautiful, and the fine drives and we'll arranged school house, will enshrine one who has adopted our town and aided it's life in many vital par ticulars.

Lewis B. Newton has opened up his farm on the heights above Oakville vil- lage for building purposes, and is meet ing with gratifying success. The land is most delightfully."- situated for homes, being on the hillside, south and east of the pin shops. It was surveyed in 1891 by A. J. Patton, and some building has already been done. Mir Newton has sold over 30 lots, despite the dull times, and in few years 1t is not improbable that the entire hillside will be built over. Tbe streets he has laid out he has named Su- perior avenue, Newton avenue, Maple wood street, Lake View avenue, Oak wood avenue, Wood street Elmwood av- enue, Byron street. The property being near the railroad station Is bound to sell, and MT Newton is to be congratulated on his wisdom in opening it up.

 Hon Theodore Sedgwick Gold, him self an honorary member of the Society of the 9th Corps, acted as chairman of the meeting and welcomed the delega- tion from the Society of Sixth corps, members of Gen Sedgwick's staff, who came to place upon his monument 8 bronze Greek cross, the badge of his corps. The welcome included the mem- bers of the G. A. R. posts present, with other friends to honor Gen Sedgwick's memory. The speaker said "Memorial day was to teach the children Gods de- liverance as wrought out by the hands of men," Prayer twas then offered by Rev Samuel Scoville of Stamford. Gen McMahon was then introduced, who af- ter thanking the people for showing by their presence their interest in the oc- casiCn, introduced Capt George B. Fuder, another member of Gen Sedg- wick's staff. He spoke of the generals services and gave reason for this love the old soldiers had for all his comrades. It was this experience of common hard ship. Comrade Thomas L. Morton ot Lakeyille was then called upon and re- sponded briefly in his breezy way. A letter from Gen Sedgwick's sister, Mrs Emily Sedgwick Welsh of Norfolk, was read by the chairman, expressing her thanks to her brothers staff for this to- ken expressing their love for and loy- atty to their chief. Gen McMahon was moved by this letter to say that though Sedgwick was poor correspondent he wrote one letter week to his sister. Gen H. G. Wright, Sedgwick's successor in command of the 9th Corps also sent a letter of regret. Brief remarks were made by Pastors Pierpont and Starr of Cornwall who was followed by Lieut. D. c. Kilbourn of Litchfield who spoke briefly and read an appropriate poem. Rev Samuel Scoville then made an ad- dress, after which the company went to the spacious grounds of Harry Sedg- wick for lunch. There were present of the generals staff: Gen McMahon, Col Truesdale, Capts Fuder, Newton and Love; also delegations from G. A. R. Posts in Sharon, Cornwall Bridge, Lake vile, Canaan and Litchield, also the Lakeville camp, Sons of Veterans. Many from Cornwall and neighboring tswns took this opportunity to renew their pa- triotism by being present.

 go. The Christ church boy choir occu- pied the stage and tho service was open
 ed by singing the national anthem, after
 which Rev J. Fl. O'Donnell read the Scripture lesson. The sermon was preach ed by Rev H. N. Cunningham from the words of Nathan unto David, "Go, do all that is In thy heart" The service con- cluded with the benediction by Rev MT Ford of the Methodist church.
 The Memorial day exercises were car ried out, last Monday, according to the program, notwithstanding the fact that the rain kept falling steadily all the morn- ing, making it decidedly unpleasant for those who had to walk.

The Watertown Stock Stallion associa- tion case, which was tried short time ago in Waterbury, and decided in favor of the Association has to all appearances been dropped. The time has gone by to appeal 1t and nothing having been heard from the plaintiff, it is more than likely that the whole matter will rest just where it is and that the people of Watertown have heard of it for the last time, for which they will doubtless be thankful.
