SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

The commencement exercises of the Canaan graded school were held at the Town Hall Friday evening. The hall was beautifully and elaborately decora- ted with flowers. The walls on each side of the stage and the front of the stage were closely covered with pink laurel, while the back of the stage was almost hidden by white daisies arrang- ed in the same manner Above the stage side to, side, appeared the motto of the class of 1897, Labor Omnia Vim cit" in letters formed of white daisies. Other flowers and ferns were also taste fully used in the decorations. The United States flag was ulso conspicuous on the stage.
 In the absence of & member of the school board J. Henry Roraback presid ed and the school committee, school board and Miss Roraback, the principal of the high school, occupied seats on the stage An appreciative audience crowded the hall to its greatest capacity, many being unable to gain admission. The exercises began with selection by Baldwln's orchestra, of Great Barring ton. Mass, and it may be said here that the reading of the essays by the mem- bers of the class were interspersed with beautiful music by this we'll known or. chestra, two or three songs being also rendered by the class in chorus. Rev r. W. Barnett made the opening pray CT and at the close pronounced the bene- diotion. Mir Miles B. Tobey presented the diplomas, first making short ad- dress. in which he expressed his admi- ration of the excellence in scholarship p of the class and added words of advice and encouragement. The names of the graduating class and the share in the exercises of each Are as fellows: Miss J. Irene Scoville, Class History; Miss Emma D. Rood, essay -''IndustrY and Idleness'' Miss Nora A McCarty, essay -"The History of the Flag: Miss Elizabeth F. Joyce, essay and recitation -Hiawatha; Miss Helen Louise May, essay-"Dare and Do"; Miss Elizabeth O. Finnegan, Class Dream; Mir William J. Riley, essay-'Success in Life" and valedictory. The productions of the class were all admirable in thought and style and the class dream was full of clever hits and good natured sarcasm It is to be hoped that the lives of these young people will conform to the se- we're moral and religious principles enunciated by them. The class history disclosed that the members of the class have been under Miss Roraback's tui- tion for four years with the exception of one for three years. The average stand ing of the class iu scholarship for the year was 95 6 10. MT Riley was 98 and Miss May 96
 Just before the benediction many beautiful boquet of flowers were pre- sented to the memb bers of the class. Miss Roraback received a magnificent boqnet of white roses and beautiful gold pen with pearl holder as token of affection from the class
 It is needless to add that the exercises showed that great credit Is due to Miss Roraback and her scholars and that they have lived up to the spirit of the class motto, Labor Onnia ViIcit.

Tidings From The Tramp.

 Editor of Ne,us:
 As it has been some time since your readers have heard from me, I take the liberty of penning you few lines giv- ing tine readers brief account of my four week s travel.
 The night of May 7th 1 spent in North Colebrook. We had frost that killed cherries. I spent some time at Riverton where I met Col. Justin Hodge who wished me to remember him to the editor, also to Daniel l. Peirce. The colonel said he had been sick the greater part of the winter but as the warm weather approaches he is able to be out on the street. I also visited Colebrook River. The factory is closed. The village is dead place, doubtless the result of McKin- ley's election. I visited Holland the 18th inst, where found one family Mrs Bell Curtis and her three children The oldest boy is married, also the girl 1ue Sou lu5b', slo Hdu uhuBu- ter born.I am glad to find that all of the children are perfect gentlemen iu every respect. At this writing the 3lst inst, in this vicinity tue prospect is good fol good crop of grass and fruit. But am sorry 10 say that the young as well as the old pay no regard to the Sabbath They are profane. Why, in one house where I stopped heard more about God. Jesus Christ, and hell in half an hour than minister would tell you 1t one year Now what we need here II Connecticut is New Jersey laws. I saw by paper that woman in New Jersey was fined seven times in one day profanity.

 the people as rule do not believe in the United States revenue laws and the ] mountain dew" or wildcat" whiskey stills are known to exist among the mountains. Mir Adam has been several times asked whether he were not a revenue officer. It is to be hoped that these simple mountaineers will always take his word for it that he is'not Mir Adams associate, although now in dea- cons orders in the Episcopal Church was during the war one of Morgan's guerrillas.
 Two deer were in town last week. This fact can be established by several witnesses. In the first place, one of the deer was seen by Will Holcomb on Thursday in the street in front of the Purcell house, where Will resides. It ran up the street and, turning to the right between the Purcell house and "The Perch," passed over the rocks across the lots to the woods on Church Hill. At this point it was seen by Mrs Butcher, who also saw another deer join the first one at the edge of the woods. The first deer had antlers, but the second, smaller one, had none. Dr Ross, who is an old deer hunter, ex- amined the tracks made by these deer and also tracks in Charles Ddtcher's corn field and is positive that the animals are four year-old buck and g yearling doe. How the deer got into , this section is mystery. They may ) have escaped from some deer park l Killing deer in this state is punisha ble by fine of $100.

A car load of COW ponies was also

road last week.
4I5 Santa Fe cars were used to tran

The Demipg Headlight says the

been billed out of Deming since last
Friday, the greater portion of which
came from Arizona points.
A wonderful amount of cattle has

Declare They Won't Go.

The action OF the navy department
in insisting that the Brooklyn Navy
Yard band shall accompany the cuts
er Brooklyn on its trip to participate
in the ceremonies incident to - 1een
Victoria's jubilee, promises to lead t.
serious trouble. It is possible that the
wives of the ubandman will have THEN
husbands arrested for abandonment just
before the Brooklyn sails.
There are sixteen musicians ano
they maintain that their contracts
p: ovide that they shall play only at
the navy yard and the City OF New
York. The Musicians Mutual and
Protective Union has taken uD their
fight and it is probable that the or
gauization's counsel. Alfred and
Charles Steckler, will apply for an
Injunction restraining the navy de-
partment from enforcing its order.
These men assert that they are prac-
tically without means. Each OF them
has large family. and what they Will
do in the event of their enforced alb
sence is what is worrying them. They
can see nothing but restitution and
want staring them in the face, to say
nothing of the loss of remunerat1ve po-
sitiOns they ho,d as civilians at differ
ent points.
The women declare that if all other
means fail they will, on the eve OF the
departure CT the vessel, cause the a..
rest of their husbands on charges OF
abandonment and nOn-support. Ihls
