CHILDREN'S DAY.

Last Sunday evening both the Pilgrim Church and the Methodist Church iu this village observed Children's Day with very interesting services. The Pilgrim church was neatly decorated with butter cups and daisies. laurel in bloom, ferns, foliage plants, and many cut flowers such as roses, carnations, white aud red peonies, etc. The program of the service was entitled 1.-The Lily of the Val ley" and consisted of songs, readings, and recitstions by the children, all of whom acquitted themselves with credit.
 The exercises at the Methodist church consisted in rendering the pro- gram "Peace or War" by the Sunday school with special exercises by the Primary Department of over thirty little ones who marched from the rear of the church to the platform singing an appropriate song. they then carried out their part of the program of class songs, recitations and solos in . manner that reflected great credit on their teach or. Little Marian Waits recitation and song pleased everybody, but the whole class did so we'll that every name would have to be given if all received due credit The choir was assisted by E. ". Adams with cornet and by F.. Benedict's violin. The service was a patriotic one, and in harmony with the occasion the church was elaborately decorated with flags and bunting. flow CTS. ferns and potted plants.

MRS LEONARD RICHARDSON.

The death of Lucy Ann Bsrnum, wife of the late Leonard Richardson, at Lime Rock, early Friday morning. June the ninth, brought to & sudden close long and happy life. Retiring on Thursday night in her usual health-which had been uncommonly good for some time -she awoke about five o'clock Friday morning feeling faint. On being asked if she was in any pain. she replied, ''No. it is just old age." closed her eyes, and, without suffering, passed in- to better world. just as she had lived, peacefully and quietly.
 Born at Sharon, Conn. July the 18th, 1874 where she lived until three years of age when her parents. Milo and Laura Tibbals Barnum, moved to Lime Rock, Conn.,, where her entire life has been spout with the exception of the year ISIS when the family removed to Bos- ton Corners, N. |. There her brother, the late Wm. H. Bsrnum, was born. Her only sister. Mrs Caroline Tibbals Vail, is still living. ca April 16, 1882, she married Leonard Richardson, who afterwards became her fathers business partner. He died Jan. 4, 1864.
 The burial service was held at half past four o'clock Sunday afternoon in Trinity Church of which she was de- vout member. The Rev J. H. George of Salisbury officiated, assisted by Rev Wm. Everest of New Milford, Conn. The beautiful weather, sweet music. and lovely flowers, together with the im- pressive service of the Episcopal made fitting end to long life. when, just at the close of day she was borne. by those whom she loved best-her two sons. grandson and three nephews-to her last resting place.

Why o Commencements,, ',

An answer to this question wss once suggested by Dr Mark Hopkins. of Will. iiams.
 The term is used only in American institutions Our academies and col. leges in earlier times gave their long va cations not in summer as now but in winter. The purpose was to permit their students-mostly poor young men ito earn money for college expenses by teaching winter schools, In order to do this there was no summer vacation.
 The new college year began with the ending of the old one, and the time was properly called Commencement"
 Not until recent years did some of the older colleges, Williams among them, completely abandon the long winter va- cation. New York World
