THE FRESH AIR BENEFIT.
A FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL SUCCESS.

rlNANClAL AND SOClAL SUCCESS.
 The largest audience that ha, ever greeted performance by the summer visitors in town was present at the Town hall on last week Friday evening, to do honor to the performers and help swell tue benetit fund for the Tribune Fresh Air work of love and mercy.
 It was fashionable audience and in- cluded, besides many of the towns peo- pie and summer guests, visitors from several of the ad oining towns. The program given was of high order, and the farce at the close-"U ncle Rodney, |" an Idyl of the Catskills-kindiy loaned by the author, William o. Bates, free of royalty for the occasion, was a charm ing little play. Herbert Flansburgh as an old farmer, and Miss Helen MacGreg- or carried off the honors, though all the parts were excellently rendered.
 The other numbers on the program included songs by J. Frederick White and George Hawley, a duet by MT White and W. Robert Clark, Representations by Miss Bertha Farce, sketch by Herbert Flansbargh, speciality by Little Tuesday. Each performer was roundly ap- plauded for encores, MT Flansburg re ceiving quite an ovation on his appear ance. An informal dance followed the entertainment and was enjoyed by a large number. The following letter from the New York Tribune will chow how much the effort was valued in helI ing out the Fresh Air Fund, the money being forwarded direct to headquarters :-
 Editor THE VIEWPOINT BEE, Newtown, Conn.,, Dear Sir: MT Herbert Flansburgh has handed us q check for $50, the same being the proceeds of an entertainment given at Newtown on Friday evening, A snn AN Air Fund. For this substantial and time ly contribution to our almost depleted Fund we beg you will convey to all those who so kindly assisted the assurances of our most grateful thanks. Very respect. fully,-[ The Tribune Association.

"Merely to stock store and open it is not sufficient in these days of keen busi- ness rivalry. The merchant, in order to succeed, must make known his advan- tages through the newspapers" So says Pennsylvania exchange, and it hits the nail on the head. And this gen. timent is ably supplemented by these ad- ditional points from Bridgeport paper !: "BuVers are coming more and more, tc depend upon the newspapers for infor nation as to what and where to buy, and the merchants who advertise such infor- nation, are the ones who best succeed A newspapers advertising space has be- come under modern methods, the thew siest" of it's columns"

In an address the other day Prof Elliott Norton of Harvard gave utter ence to sentiments which we heartily endorse. He said And there can be no doubt that the greater independence now allowed to the youth of both sexes than was the case in the past is often abused, and tends in many cases to degenerate into wilful self-assertion, indifference to the rights and interests of others and resistance to authority of whatever nature. The spirit of lawless- ness developes rapidly into the spirit of crime. The idle loater becomes the rough, the rough the villain, the villain the ruffisn. It is manifest that it is the duty of all our country villages and towns to take more effective measures for the restraint and correction of the reckless and vicious members of the community and any means which prom. ises this end may be worth trying"

DEATH or MRS BETSY PATCH,

Mrs Betsy Patch, widow of Ezra Patch, passed away at her home in Sandy Hook on Tuesday evening, after an illness of three weeks duration.

Soon after her marriage, now 69 years ago, she came to Sandy Hook with her husband and has since lived in the house where she died. She bore the respect of her friends and neighbors. The funeral will be held from the Methodist church, to-day, (Fri- dav) at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev MT Taylor off iating and she will be laid at rest In the Sandy Hook cemetery, beside the body of her husband.

Highway Commissioner Macdonald says the Hartford Courant, serves the whole state we'll when he opens war upon the wayside weeds. They are 8 nuisance and 8 injury. They ought to be cleaned out, if only for the effectupon the eye, but there are other and what would be called more practical reasons. So long as they flourish there, they are lesson in negligence and aloth the 8 gn of the community that is che way to let things gos and. also. they spread by seed by the highway to fields all about and thus do direct injury to pri- vate lands. There is no reason beyond lazlness and ignorance for letting them stand. Away with them and good luck to Mr Mar Donald in this excellent and public spirited crusade.
