Last week was one OF great excitement.
The cause was the taking down OF one OF
the old landmarks OF the town, the mar
ness shop, which has tor so long stood
over Silver lake. The shop was built by
Samuel Wood just below the residence OF
the late John Ward and was used for a
chair shop. Later 1t was moved over the
lake, where it has stood for many years,
and was occupied by Amos Jaquith as a
shoe shop and afterward by 5 c. Cady and
e. l.. French as harness shop.

its exhibitions In Sharon, hiss disbanded

This association has been fairly successful
and some of the meetings would compare
favorably with those OF other societies in
the country, which make larger preten-
sions. l am sorry to have 1t go out OF ex-

wrong arrangement and should be COR

on, Pomfret and Hartford who would like |
to attend both exhibitions. Last year
Woodstock had the third week and Tun- |
bridge the fourth week. which made 1t |
convenient for all. Woodstock's moving |

OF Tunbridge, which has had the last week |
ever since its organization. The loss to |
two societies SO near each other when |
they clash in dates is great to both. Beth |

There are none too many and they are the

Ralph j. Wilson has bought OF Asa
Perry, Jr., about thirty acres OF pasture
land one mile from Bernard village and a
half mile from the cottages at the head OF
the lake. On this land one hundred years
ago was the farm and house OF Berish
Greene, one OF the first settlers and a
tory of Barnard. Had any one predicted
