 Speaking of the Glyn reminds us that it contains one of the show places of the town. In our walks through there these pleasant mornings 1t is noted that Shady | Dell' has began to take on it's summer garb, and promises to outrival former years in it's childish attractions. So no- ticeable has it become, through the in- genuity of the children, that 1t is eagerly looked for by all passing by, and it Is re- marked that no discrimination is shown for color in regard to dolls
 Two more ornamental shade trees were planted on the school house grounds last week. They are of variety called striped leaf birch, and, as before, E. 0. Pinney ordered them from a Norwich nursery, through F. N. Crane. They are set in front of the building, one on each side of the walk leading up from the street. By the way, MT. Pinney has been very much of a benefactor to future gen. erations In the matter of shade trees, all of those in front of his residence, running nearly down to the corner, and on the op- posite side of the street running the other way, having been set by him, as well as that row of handsome Films at the Glyn, which were set twenty-one years ago this spring, and were as large at the time as a good-sized bean pole. Nearly everyone will remember Ira Sisson. It seems that MT. Pinney made contract with Ira to furnish those Films at 8 dollar each, and when he delivered them Mir. Pinney, be- ing little curious to know where he got them, said, ''Ira, where did you get those trees ?" Ira quickly replied, II got them trees all of from my farm, and some of them a long ways of, too. We omit Ira's adjectives, but MT. Pinney was satisfied.

Bates coat, but fell and expired almost instant ly. Mr. Roberts was born in Palmer, Mass, January 3d, 1882, but had resided in this town for nearly fifty years, during which time he has been good citizen and oninUnH nd AP ha
