 When the genial Goldsmith paid this homely tribute to the average innkeeper of the olden time he must have had a prophetic eye upon the many hospit- l able resorts along the Connecticut shores and especially to this ideal home for the weary wanderer The very large number who have sought this quiet spot for few days or weeks or months of real rest and refreshing have made 1t an uncommonly busy resort for the kindly host and hostess who have delighted to welcome the coming, speed the parting guest" certain that those who were compelled to leave would only be too eager to return and quite unwillingly to bid them final farewell Those who tried other and more pretentious places generally re- turned or sought to do so, but in many cases were told that every room was occupied A very large proportion of all the applicants have been obliged to wait for vacancy, and many have waited in vain. It would be very easy to fill a very much larger house with the most desirable class of guests, such as those who at this date fill every room in the hotel, while some seek for lodgings in the nearby cottages and this too, in spite of most unfavorable sea- shore weather For more than forty days and night, beginning about July F, the rain fell in whole water upon the just and the unjust" and am sorry to say the just" received most of 1t | for the same reason that "the white sheep eat more than the black sheep" | because there are more of them, The prayer of the psalmist as we read it in | the Psalter version, Let the renegades | continue in scarceness," has been an- sWered abundantly in old Guilford, and measurably in the adjoining towns l which have profited by being in good neighborhood I believe that Br'er Brown of Madison was just little bit smitten with the east wind of heresy some years since and when some talk was made about 1t he tried to make them believe that he caught the dis | ease in New Haven from some divinity professors when he was quite young and did not understand the principles of theological sanitation. But when the New Haven D D's and IL. DIS went over and explained to the offender and l his accusers that what Br'er Brown had heard them teach and preach was only some private jokes of theirs and copy righted, too things changed for the bet ter very rapidly, and now the town of | Madison looks as calm and lovely and serene as if the heresy hunters, had never peeped. Nothing cures eccen- trlcity in the human makeup like let ting it severely alone
 | The loss to the farmers of Connecticut by the excessive summer showers can scarcely be estimated and the bountiful crop of mosquitoes which the dampness has matched out is a somewhat doubt | full compensation. If some good men have not fallen from grace in their ! frantic endeayors to fight this small 1 pest during this season we may we'll | rejoice and be glad and look forward to the chilling frosts that will discour- age the active pests.
 | The popularity of the pleasant resort | appears from the fact that up to the | fourth most of the cottagers were occupied and there were registered at the hotel the following guests from New York city: II. M Taylor, Mrs F. w. Taylor, Mr and Mrs Fair, MT. and Mrs, c. F. Mitchell, G. H. Mitchell and | family, MT, and Mrs, E. IT. Clark, Miss Louise Clark, A, D, Hawley Mrs A, D, Hawley Roswell Hawley from Mel bourn. Australia; Mir. c. K. Mitchell from Philadelphia, Mir. and Mrs. Rus sell Hawkins from Brooklyn, N. Y; Mrs. Isaac Gridley, MT. and Mrs. J. R, Rogers, Mrs F. NJ. Craft from Boston, | w. B. Maynard, Mir. and Mrs. James | Maxwell, Miss Hart and Miss M. A.. Conner of Orange Valley, N. J.; from Bristol, Conn. Mir, Epaphroditus Peck, wife and daughter; from Bethlehem, Conn, (not Judea), MT and Mrs. Henry w. Peck; MT A. D. Ellsworth and Miss Janette Ellsworth from East | Windsor Conn: Mrs " E.

Clark and Miss Thera Clark from Plainville and the following from New Haven C. E,. Cruttenden, c. M. Lamb, MT. and Mrs |

 The very pretty yacht race on Labor day deserves to be illustrated by your special artist and to be written up by your most accomplished marine re- porter; a greenhorn like the writer is not in it. It was very pretty to watch from the elevated veranda of the hotel. but the breezes were not sufficiently strong to send even the admiral of the | PinafOre below. With a lovely drive to New Haven when the moon and clouds were contending for the right of way and a few "skeeters' taking toll at every turn in the road, a, most delight full visit to Sachem's Head was brought to pleasant conclusion.
