and at once q stream OF fire burst from the
end of a hogshead Of alcohol, and the build
ing was soon In flames. Three members OF
the families of the proprietors were severe
ly burned. A new building soon took the
place of the old, and is now owned and oc-
cupied by j. X. Lynde, but no liquors were
kept for sale thereafter.
Many years ago certain family OF bright
children born here, were thrown upon their
own resources for living, and with an am
bition to accomplish more than they could
hope to do here, went out of the state. A
portion Of these children achieved very
marked success compared with anything
that could have been gained here. One OF
them made his mark in one Of our leading
eastern cities and gratified his liking for a
fine style of living. He married lady
from home OF wealth and social position,
and the family life was of kind that to
many left behind here, doubtless would
seem one to be greatly envied. But to one
of these children not less gifted than the
others, came a life on what the world would
perhaps call much lower plane, certainly as
regards this worlds good, compared with
the STALLED OK" style of the Weather
home 1t was more the dinner OF herbs"
manner of life. But in the humber home
there was a wonderful degree OF love on
the part of husband and wife for each other
that never failed to the end, and content
ment just as wonderful. Family visits
were exchanged by these two families to a
greater or less extent, and it was after one
OF these, by the lady of position, to the
home of the brother-in-law, that she re-
marked that "the true way OF living" as
she felt 1t twas in the humber home,"
and we believe multitudes more OF society
people in our large cities would give
hearty Amen to the sentiment.

AS evidence Of an increasing interest in
our public library, during the past year, is
the large number of books being taken, and
while the cost of supporting it is not large,
the receipts from annual dues leaves a
small deficiency. 1t is hoped that more of
our citizens may become members by TAX
ing share and paying the annual dues of
S1.00 which goes to the support of the Ii
brary and the purchase of new books.

the warning for March meeting, which will
be held this year on the first day of the
month That portion OF it which will inter-
est the citizens of Waterbury most, reads
as follows: ITO see if the town will author
ize the board of school directors to purchase
a site and erect school-house thereon in
the village of Waterbury" The fact that
the present school building has been con-
demned by the state board of health, as un-
fit for use, should make the vote unanimous
in favor OF a new school-house.

ject for which so much OF interest will be
given, appeals to the support of every citi-

Ladies orchestra is too well and favorably
to be used, illustrating the trip around the
world, have been selected with great care
and are pronounced excellent. Prof.
Hutchinson has kindly offered his services
with his stereoplican, which is a guarantee
that the views will be presented as they

vided for the support of our library, which
will benefit all alike. Admission % cents;
