LAK RVlLLR

Washington's Birthday anniversary was celebrated here this year in a very patriotic manner The G. A. R. posts of this vi .inity held their annual reun- ion at Roberts Opera House. The rainy weather prevented many of the comrades and their many friends from being present, but in spite of it good ly number from Ct. Burlington, Shelf field, Canaan, Amenia and Lskeville were in attendance, also many members of the W. R O. from each town men, tioned, and they certainly were not sorry, for they expressed themselves ss highly pleased with their entertain ment here. Soon after the arrival of the II o'clock train the grand old veter- ans were entertained by IS school chil- dren from Ore Hill, under the direction of their teachers, Miss Sadie Abrams and Miss Carrie Conklin. These IS girls were elegantly attired in the ns- tional colors, six in red, six in white and six in blue. They went through the intricacies of drill with such precision that they charmed the veterans who cheered them to the echo. At the close of the drill the young ladies sang pa- triotic song very sweetly. At noon the ladies of our w. R o. invited the vet erans to fine dinner which was partak- en of at the banquet hall, and after they were all fed there was enough on hand to feed all many more. Everybody present was invited to eat dinner but still there was enough left to feed many more. All through the dinner hour the Lakeville orchestra's strains of sweet music conla be heard. At the afternoon meeting the Opera House was filed with G. A. R. and s. of V. men and ladies of the W. R O. and their many friends. Comrsde T. l. Norton was chosen chairman of the meeting He introduced tLe several speakers iu his usual happy and humorous manner which put everybody in the best of spirits The speakers were Capt Hem ry R. Jones of New Hartford, Dept. Commander of Connecticut; s. G. Blakeman of Shelton, Past Dept. Com- mander of Connecticut; Major Frank
 Wells, cashier First National Bank of Brewsters, N. r.; Malcolm D. Rudd.
 Rev J. Alderman, Hon. Hubert Will lIams, of Lakeville. The Choral Union
 with their conductor, Miss Laura Chap in, sang at intervals between the ad- dresses patriotic selections with fine eff feet, and Miss Laura Chapin sang the Star Spangled Banner with suoh sweet
 ness and pathetic power of voice that it thrilled the hearts of all present. The audience joined in the chorus. The or chestra played at intervals too, and this grand meeting closed with My Country lis of Thee, by the whole audience in one great chorus. The Hotchkiss School Glee Ranio and Mandolin Clubs gave fine concert last Saturday evening at Roberts Opera
 House to select large audience, many
 of whom were relatives and friends of
 the students from all parts of this coun-
 try. On Monday the Athletic Club of
 the school gave fine exhibition; and
 in the afternoon a ball in honor of the
 visitors was given at the gymnasium of
 the school at which the elite of our
 town and from abroad were present.

A Line From Sheffield.

"But for a town that maintains the greatest number of useless crossroads, commend us to Sheffield, Mass"
 The above Is the substance of recent article in CONN. WESTERN NEWS that more than one of our taxpayers thought struck the nail so nearly in the right spot that discussion was started that led to an examination of the maps, and may result in closing at least one cross- road and bridge that has long been Q great expense to the many taxpayers, and benefit to only few. With a present population, nearly one thousand less than when our roads were laid ont, others can profitsbly be spared. The NEWS says: mot an empty hou in Ca- naan t" We have dozens here. Why this falling off in population? Sheffield is beautiful township. Onr best sr- lists have discovered that, and painted on canvas hundreds of acres of its besu- ties. Bolton Jones has picked out m8ny of it's choicest bits In the re- cent Evans sale in New York his picture "On the Road to the River" brought $650. Happening to know the location where it was sketched. showed the &C., count to the old lady who owns the property. "What," ".she said, "six hun dred dollars for picture of that lot? Why, I'd sell the whole ten acres for two hundred" And she would, and there is the trouble. Nothing in which the Sheffield farmer is interested is high, except taxes And Sheffield is one of the highest taxed towns in the country and nothing to show for it. Atlanta. Binghamton. Buffalo, Dallas, Dsven- port, Denver, Detroit, Nashville. Port land, St. Louis, Savannah, Scranton, Syracuse, Watertown; and my list gives hundreds of others, with real improve. ments, all have lower tax rates, and on lower per cent of valuation. Is it a wonder that we do not build hotels and tenement houses here? This is not written to keep the Canaan capitalists from locating among us, but to call the attention of our own people to an issue they must meet if this valley is to be filled with American homes.
 One word more. Greater New York is no better tban it ought to be, but there Com mptroller Coler says "the ap- propriation is expended and you must stop" In Sheffield we expend the ap- propriations and then keep on spend inS. lo huob otopp

A NEW INDUSTRY.
Cement to Be Made From Furnace Slag g.-The Old Myers Ice House to be 
Poughkeepsie Eagle,)

Used.
 (Poughkeepsie Eagle.)
 Some time ago it will be remembered, MT A. Edward Tower purchased the old Myers ice house from P. L. Van Wsg- enen, and people wondered if he might be going into the ice business as an an tidote for the heat of the iron furnace. The purchase, however, really marks the end of the old industry of gathering ice from the river at Poughkeepsie and the beginning of much more impor- tant industry. Considerable work has already been done in and about the big building to fit it for it's new work, that of making cement out of furnace slag An office has been fitted up at the river front, and workmen are now putting in concrete foundations for the machinery in the rest of the building. The ceiling is little high but that doesn't matter. though in one part second floor is to be put in twelve feet from the ground A new brick addition for boiler room will be built on the east end, aboni 36 by 30 feet, and the engine will be located in the southeast corner adjoin. ing. In all about $25, 900 worth of ma chinery will be put in. Mir c. J. Cur tin. who is the patentee of the process, and interested in the company, Is su perintending she work. -...
 The title of the new company is the Knickerbocker Cement Company. E. H. Wales, private secretary for Nil Frederick Vanderbilt, is the president and MT Tower is the treasurer. The process by which cement is made iron slag has been in successful operation at several iron furnaces, and the com pany is using this cement in it's con crete work here. The slag runs ou from the furnace white hot into tanl of water where it boils and breaks uI into fine particles. of cream color Cars will then convey it to the new plant, where it will be ground.

They held newspaper showing an il- lustration of the execution of John Brown, the scaffeld, the mob. the rope, and the body of the hero hanging in mid air. I never shall forget that pic ture. Soon after the war was declared the following song could be heard by old people, middle aged, and the youth; ; it was national song, sung by the pa- triotic people of the North.

The Illusion.

"What beautiful peachesw said an old lady as she stopped at stall In the market and admired a basket of the choice fruit. They were covered with a pink gauge and looked very tempting indeed.
 The old lady bought the peaches and took them home. The next day she ap- peared again at the stall and showed the stall keeper a small piece of pink 7eiling.
 "Do you keep that kind of yelling for sale" she asked.
 The stall keeper told her that he did not.
 "Well,' she said, when took those peaches home they were small and sour and green, and I thought If I could get some of that yelling that made them look so pretty and plump in the basket I'd wear 1t myself. If 1t would improve me as much as 1t did the peaches, people would think I'd found the elixir of youth. ."-London Eun
