PARKER ACADEMY-LAsT OF ITS USE FOR

 oUs PUPILS. a
 j As this week gees the last of the use as 8 schoolhouge, on account of the ere ction of the new graded school given by c. C.. Mitchell, of Parker Academy, one of t! e ,Idest and the last of the private school hou es f. town, it will not be inappropri- ate to give in few words the history of private achoolhouses in this town. The oldest one, so far as can be 7ascertained vas one conducted in 1927 by the Rev Sturgis Gilbert, an Episcopal rector, in a house the location of which was in the lot on which now stands the house of Charles Smith. Another, taught in 1885 bv Henry B. Sherman, was located in what is now Stiles store. It was not ap- til about 1844, however, that the private school system was started permanently. At that time William Cothren and after wards L D. Sprague taught school in the basement of what is now Atwood's Hotel. This school expanded in 1851 into the South Academic Association and & building DOW called Parker Academy

AN INTERFERING FARMER.


 As the writer was passing the farm of N. F. Beardsley, last week, Mr Boards ley was standing by the bars meditsting. I asked what was the matter. His an. swer was:- 1T have only two horses ,and and carpenter is using them on my mowing-machine, two saw mill fellows have turned this hay and 1t ia ready to rake and cart, but have no horse to rake it." l suggested that he borrow one of his neighbours horses, and he replied IA thought has come to me, wait mo- ment and will surmount the obstacle" and started for the barn, and I waited developments. And 10 and behold he emerged with his registered Hereford bull, all harnassed, and placed him be- tween the shafts and getting on the seat he raked the hay, and there are very few horses that could have raked the piece in the time. MT Beardsley informed me that he and the carpenter had laid 6OOO shingle, last week, and before 1900 he ex- pected to lay 15, GOO more and paint every building on the farm and have 25 cords of wood sawed, split and piled in the woodhouse for his estimable wife to burn through the coming winter. Now If there are any more enterprising farmers in the state that use carpenters, saw mill men and Hereford bulls to get their hay and saw their wood, let's hear from them.-T%

was erected in front of what is now the Beardsley House near the Town hall. Tn 1S47 there was a school in Jason Parker's store (now Proctor's) taught by P. T. Babbitt, and in 1848 there was school organized up town similar to Parker Academy. The first great teacher of both of these schools was T. M. Thompson, q Yale graduate and born teacher, especially proficient in the lan- guages but not caring very much about his attire. Other teachers of the North Academy were: Cyrus l.. Hall, Mrs Amelia Roberts Sanford, Frances Cogs- we'll, Hortensia Burton, who also taught in Hotchkissville and lately Miss Wheel CT and the Rev Joseph c. Wyckoft.
 This academy does not seem to have been run with as much regularity as the South Academy. The building is now used as the chapel of the North Church. The principals of the South (Parker) Academy as far as can be ascertained were as follows: Samuel Spooner, F. B. Hulse, MT Phinny, the Rev A. N. Lewis, Arltus G. LooMis, James Pattison, Louisa Moves, Wilbur V. Rood, Edwin Futile, H. c. Tallmadge, o. c. B. Nasor, Edgar Fl. Grout, Edward s. Boyd, H. B. Moore, and the last year the school of higher grade has occupied the building with MT Weeks as principal.
 While MT Hulse was teacher in Par ker Academy, MT Thompson often used to run opposition to him in the Thompson place, and sometimes there would be seventy-five scholars apiece in the two schools, and it was not at all uncommon to have six or more go to Yale or some other college each year. Parker Acad- emy was moved to it's present location near the postofice when MT Lewis took it and he tried to run boarding school in connection with the Parker House then owned by Frederick s. Parker, but didn't succeed very we'll. Hundreds have gone out from the schools but as nc records have been kept it is hard to find out who.
 They included the following: The Rev Engene Atwood of Hartford, Danie
 King of Chicago, Dr Edward Lewis 0.
 Brooklyn, Warren Guthrie of Oklahoma
 Henry Russell of Southbury, Edward Candee of Brooklyn, Dr Solomon Mino of New York, Mir Castle, who settled il the Sandwich Island and has been one o the commissioners sent on to arrang about annexation, Henry Garfield c } South Britain, at one time United State } minister to Turkey, and of those wh live in town almost all are leading men 2 including H.
