Mrs. Sarah Francis Jarrett, wife of DIR.
Martin l.. Jarrett, died at her home in Jar
rettsville, on Saturday, after a long
Illness, aged about tifty-two years. Mrs Jar
rett was Z daughter of the late William Glenn,
and was probably the most popular lady in
Mar.hall's district. She was most exem-
plary woman in every respect, and her kind
ness of heart and charity endeared her to all
with whom she came in contact. She was
buried on Monday from Bethel Presbyterian
Church, of which she had long been a consis-
tent member. Rev. w. Albert Price. pastor
OF the church, OBLIGATED, assisted by Revs. l..
j. SOthorOn, of Rock Spring; l.. Hammond,
of Calvary VI. E. South; W. w. Davis, OF
West Hartford NJ. f. Circuit, and Z. \. Wolfe,
of Salem Evangelical Church. The pail bear
ers were Messrs. Archer Ii. Jarrett, William
Il. Jarrett, DR.. Il. s. Jarrett j. Henry
Jarrett, Frank Jarrett and Gorsuch Glenn,
all nephews OF the deceased. The fu-
neral was one of the largest ever known at
Bethel Church, and was IA fitting tribute to the
esteem in which she was held.

Ch.Istmas Festivals.

The Sunday schools throughout the county
are busiIy preparing for that great event to-
ward which the thoughts of the children have
already been directed for some time, viz, the
Christmas festival. The columns or The 1EgiS
have been replete with announcements Of these
events already, and we wish that teachers and
scholars eli over Hartford may enjoy the happy
ccasion fully.
The days selected by the Bel Air schools are
as follows Methodist Episcopal, this Friday
evening, December 3D. Presbyterian, Tuesday,
December p; Protestant Episcopal, Wednes-
day, December IS, and Methodist Protestant,
Friday, December 80.
There is friendly rivalry between the two
Methodist schools In making choice of the
music for the occasion, the schools uninten-
tionalIy made the same selections, and while
there is no contest on hand, each school will
do its utmost to render the singing as it was
intended
Parents and friends of each of the schools
should attend these services and lend their
presence toward making the affair success in
each instance. The NJ. P. school will hold its
celebration in the Assembly Rooms of the
Masonic Temple; the others in their respective
churches.

Important Notice to Taxpayers.

The Act of 1898, Chapter 204, which changed
county, by creating the Office of County Treas
urer, and defined his duties, sets forth in sec
ton 262C, that it shall be the duty of the
Treasurer, at the expiration of the year, to
make up list of all the taxes due, IN arrear
and unpaid, which list shall be published in
two newspapers, giving notice that all prop
erty upon which taxes for 1898 are due and
unpaid, will be offered for sale at the court
house door in Bel Air ON the second Monday
in April, april loth,) 1892 for the purpose of
securing the said taxes, together with all in
terest. fees and advertising costs.
During the past week, and up to December
%, inclusive, in accordance with the notice
published in The HgiS, Mr.. L. NJ. Allen, Jr.,
the CouHy Treasurer, has paid Visits to each
OF the several election districts of the county,
| for the purpose OF receiving State and county
| taxes for the year 1895. He closed at bar
liugton yesterday, Thursday, December 22d
and having fully completed his rounds, will
| only be found at his office in the Masonic
building, Bel Air.
| There remains but one more week in whic
the farmers ami others, who have not YET paid
their taxes, can do so and thereby save them
selves the add touaI costs, and attention i.
called to that fact. MIR. Allen OF his obIigius
aud careful assistant, Mr. Charles f
Harry may be found at the Treasurer's Office

Christmas Cheer.

The streets, as well as the stores in Bel Air,
have given evidence during the week that
something out Of the usual order was about to
transptre. The looks OF happy anticipation,
which frightened the countenances of the
children, only reflected those of the elders, as
the gaiy decked windows and counters recall
ed the days when we of older growth looked
forward, counting the days and almost hours
which should elapse, before Santa Claus, that
great patron Saint of all good children, should
pay his expected, always welcome, always
my sterious visit.
Surely, when the good old Saint arrives in
town, he viii have no trouble in replenishiug
his store. Such tempting array of edibles,
delicacies and dainties as are presented by our
advertisers, can only be perplexiDgi in one way;
and the bothersome query will be not what to
take, but what to leave behind. Cakes, can
dies, couserves, fruits and nuts to tempt the
palate, good books and alluring games to help
the iieeting hours on their way, it will indeed
be sad and impoverished home where the in
mates cannot in some way echo with gladness
the sweetest strain that ever broke upon
mortal ear

The BeIAir Reading Room.

Arrangements have nearly been perfected
for the early opening OF the Bel Air Reading
Rooms. The central and very accessible
property on Main street near the courthouse,
belonging to Mrs Prigg, has been secured and
the entire love floor will be utilized for the
Association. Emmanuel chapter OF the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew deserves great
credit for originating this scheme.
Like the majority of towns Of its size, Bel
Air, has long felt pressing need for just such
an enterprise. During the winter months es-
pecally there is no place where the young
men of the town and its vicinity could pass
the long evenings in an entertaining and
profitable manner; and this scheme opens the
way for enjoyment, which may be of practi-
cal use.
Reading, conversation and the neglecte
and almost forgotten games of skill and
chance with which the leisure hours of the
form attractions which will draw to the
rooms OF the Association those whom
it is designed to benefit.
The game Of chess, back CANNON, draughts
or checkers and domnocs, have either fallen
completely into disuse or have become 20
| inseparably connected with the bar-room as
! to render them tabOoed by polite society.
These games will form part OF the furniture
| of the rooms. Games of cards will not how
| ever he permitted.
a very decided gain to both associations
has been effected by the union OF the Read
| ing Room Association-which happily by the
terms Of its character, is non-poIit!cal and
non-sectariau the Bel Air Circulating
Library. The Library Association will occupy
| one of the rooms Of the building and vii
give to the public the use Of their books bu
reserve to their subscribers the privilege OF
taking books home to read.
Possession Of the building has been secure,
for Monday, january 1G, 1899. Possibly
an earlier date may be fixed

Errors in Newspapers.

Newspaper men frequently have their at
tention called to typographical errors which
sometimes creep into all publications. If
newspaper men only understood their bust
ness, these errors would not happen. The
people who discover the errors can tell you
that much. In an ordinary column there are
about 2OOO pieces of type. An average
county paper sets from seven to ten columns
per week, which makes 100000 pieces TO be
picked up. right about faced and stood right
side up with care. These in turn must be re-
placed in the case, which necessitates the
handling of 100000 pieces of type each week.
Now, if in the first place the editor gets correct
Information ard if he writes it properly and
if the compoSitor sets it up right and if the
galley boy knows enough to take a decent
proof and if the copyholder is sober and if the
pro0freader marks the errors and il the print

in the right place and If the pressman isn't
careless and if the press dosent mash any
letters-why, tits easily seen how unnecessary
are typographical errors and how easy it is to
run u newspaper.

To Have Eggs Through Ihe Winter.

inducing hens to give the usual supply of eggs
through the winter. He says: Provide com.
Portable houses for the fowls, with water they
can get whenever they want it, and feed the
chickens night and morning with wheat, oats
and middling, scalded ana allowed to cool.
1t is not necessary to heat the houses because
that will make the fowls delicate and too ten
der, and renders them liable to take cold. lie

il of great advantage
