THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED DEATH
 OF STELLA JOHNSON FLYNN.
 On Tuesday, May 8, this community was saddened by the announcement of the death of Stella Johnson, daughter of B. H. Johnson, and wife of James w. Flynn, after an illness of about 24 hours, of neuralgia of the heart. Her condition was not considered critical until but 8 few hours before her death. Dr Karmann of Woodbury was called early Tuesday morning and at once proneunced,her con- dition very serious. She breathed her last at p. m., and thus ended in her early womsnhood the life of one of the best, most conscientious and faithful of Bethlehem's daughters. Ever ready with 8 kind word and deed for every one, and one in the family circle that can hardly be spared, leaving feeble mother that so much needs her kindly assistance, land a husband that only claimed her for his bride few months over two years ago. Besides husband and mother, she leaves father, grandmother, -four brothers, Homer and Harry, who reside in Water bury, Bert in Watertown, Albert, and 8 sister, Bernice, at home. All have the sincere sympathy of the whole commu- nifty in this their hour of sad bereave- ment. She was member of the Bethle- hem Grange and it's secretary at the time of her death. She was faithful and conscientious member of Christ church, always lending a helping hand in all church work. Her funeral was attended from her late home on Friday at p. m., by Rev k. M. Skagen, assisted by Rev H. N. Cunningham of Watertown and Rev S. H. Tolles, pastor of the Methodist church in Bethlehem. The laster per.

INTERESTING MINISTER'S MEETING.
 The minister's meeting at the parson- age, Thursday, May 10, was called to order in due time, and Rev Mir Johnson of New Milford appointed moderator. The routine business transacted, 8 paper on Miracles, by Rev MT York of Roxbury, was read, and an animated discussion ensued, which was only stopped by the smiling hostess breaking in upon the enthusiastic participants, inviting them to cease picking theological bones and quietly sit down with lamb and peas, jelliea, salads and ice cream, the latter beng "the fllingest stuff," as the boy said, ''that be had ever met" The sweet eniug was from the parsonage naples, and furnished so satisfying flavor that none were able to cconplish 8 second plate. What theme for the pen does the irenic ir fiuence of mild, sweet condi- ments of food furnish in contrast with the harsh asperities of the olden theolog- ical debates, when elected salt pork, brimstone-smoked hams, New England rum and cider constituted the filling of the inner man! Ne wonder they dream ed of overfiowing hills and saw legions of witches on broomsticks flying through the air and darting in st unplugged key holes. "Man is & religious aninaal," to be sure; and the history of the past shows that the higher grade, better kind of one he can be made, the better, kinder, more helpful and better Christian he de- velops into. Thus saith the prophets and the evo' 'utionists. Change and growth are the law. He who speaketh against the law talketh against the wind.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS,

Work on the new road near Smiths bridge is progressing rapidly. A steam drill is at work on the rocks west of the bridge and indications point to the fact that when the job Is completed this will be nice easy grade. So far no action has been taken in regard to making the road under the bridge wider. The select. men assure us, however, that before the new road is laid they will see that the railroad people move the abutments back sufficiently to have the road at this point the proper width.
