ANCIENT WOODBURY.

Judge Charles H. Toll of Denver, Col, was visiting last week, his aunt, Mrs Pulford of Southbury, and other An cient Woodburv relatives, he being de- scendant in the Mitchell and Rinman lines. His great grandfather was Da- vid Mitchell in that line, and his grand father was Truman Mitchell. Col Ben jamin Hinman was his great grand father in that line and said Hinman's daughter, Sophia, was his grandmother.
 Mrs Pulford is one of the two original daughters of the Revolution and Miss Augusta Thompson the other are the only ones in Litchfield county, so far as your correspondent knows. Ancient Woodbury people with their Revolu' tionary blood are scattered in all civi- Iized nations. Judge Toll being SC
 largely descended from the old town
 was desirous of obtaining set of Goth ren's History of Ancient Woodbury
 which he was finally able to do through \ it's author, that work is scattered through | the nations as widely as the descendants of the ancient town. It is almost af | largely called for now as it was at the
 date of it's publication in 1854. Eigh
 teen hundred volumes were printed, $ very large number for an inland town.

 MT Andrews, agent of the board of ed- ucation in regard to school attendance, has been in town visiting the schools and looking up the children who should be in school as the law of the state requires. He has stimulated the attendance and so has done good work. A law that lies dormant on the statutes is useless. IT, regular attendance is the bane of oar schools, and it should be overcome, as far as possible. Children should not be allowed to grow up in ignorance for want of interest on the part of their parents or guardians in a country of freeEschools. 'Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined" Education does not commence with the alphabet. ''I6 begins with mothers look, with fatner'e seal of appreciation or sign of reproof, with sisters gentle pressure of the hand, with a brothers noble act of forbearance, with handfuls of flowers in green dells or hills and daisy not touched, with humming bees and glass beehives, with pleasant walks in shady lanes" Life is an education. Dr Johnson was once asked "Who is the most miserable man?" and the sage re- piled, "The man who cannot read on a rainy day" A person who has no re- sources in himself. supplied by reading and reflection, is a miserable man. Ed. ucation is indeed the real purpose and business of life. s'Uneducated mind is educated vice.' ssThat the soul.be with out knowledge, is Tot good.'' A man once passing through park in England, saw nailed to one of the trees ssAll dogs found in this park will be shot.n A friend who was with him said, ssUnless dogs can read, they are pretty badly of here" But child to grow mn tn manhood ar womanhood, in this enlightened land, takes more from civilization than he or she gives.
