EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

FACTOR IN DEVELOPING INTELLECT
 OF THE YOUNG.
 Another educational institute has been added to those in Bridgeport and one which promises to be an import ant factor in the development of the young. This acquisition, new to this city, but recognized throughout the United States as standard college for learning, is Browns college. It is To- cated in the Barnum-Thompson build ing on State street. Shorthand, type writing and practical business edu- cation is offered students through this medium. The school room is one of the most model that could be arranged. The room is light, airy, well ventilat- ed and thoroughly equipped.
 This college scarcely needs an intro- duction to the people of this vicinity. For many years the school at South Norwalk has been in existence; it's grad uates are found in all parts of the country. Each clerk has become prom inent in the business world, leading court stenographers and those engaged in trade, were drilled in this college. The institute was one of the first to adopt the system of individual instruc- tiOn, system far superior to that Of class instruction: where you are hurried along any old way to get through the course. References from leading men | throughout the country of the bene- | fits of this school can be had upon ap- plication at the local institute. The success of the method adopted in this school is due to the practicability of the form of the education. For in- stance, you are not taught banking simply. through books. A banking es- tablishment, complete to the minutest detail, has been constructed in the school room, the student is placed be-
 hind the counter just as is the clerk if the banking and brokerage office in the leading banks in the country. Eacf clerk has his department and bushes! is transacted in the regular way. Mon

 It will certainly pay anyone to take walk through the land of MT John- son over which this cyclone travelled And if it doesn't impress you with the littleness and weakness of man, and of the great and unknown powers of Nature, it will indeed be surprising But if possible secure MT Johnson as guide, and as he tells you of former locations of the trees you will express astonishment beyond measure as you witness the awful devastation made by that storm on the 18th of September. It is enough to make man weep to gaze upon the scene, and we can well imagine what our own emotions would be were we the owners of the property.

WHEN THE FARM is SOLD.
Former Ownsr Generally Uncomfortabis
in His New Quarters.

How difficult it is for one who sells
his home farm to again place himself
in as eood shape as before he sold He
finds that the associations which 90
with the farm cannot be replaced He
had become familiar with every ROD
of land on his farm. the rocks and
trees. the hills and brooks and the
pathways We're his old acquaintances
and there was an air OF home and
friendship all around After he has
sold all these come before him. He
may have received large price for
his farm. but that does not compen-
safe for his loss. And when he comes
10 look around for another farm he
finds that he cannot be easily suited.
There are plenty of farms for sale.
but they have not the good features
nf the old farm. Something is lack
ing in all of them. Money can com
pensate for some things. but not for
all. Mr.. Hoxie OF Roberts Meadow
has found this out. Last fall he sold
his farm there to the water commits
sioners at what the commiss toner's
thought was an excessive price. He
vas obliged to sell because a part OF
his farm. being near to the water
course, was deemed to be injurious to
the purity Of the water. Mr. HoXie
has been looking around for another
farm ever since. He finds a number
for sale, but there is lack of home
like flavor about them all They do

land was strong and rich. 1t was
beautifully located on slightly hill
top. The buildings were not very
good, but the land was all right. one
day he had chance to. sell. The
price was high-that Is, it seemed so
to him, as it was much more than he
had called the farm worth After he
had sold he began to realize his loss.
1t dawned upon him thLt he had
parted with something that was
adapted to his needs and incurred
risk in buying another farm He felt
badly, tears filled his eyes and his
heart was sad. He has never found
farm like the old farm. And he never
will. He wishes he was back again
on the old hilltop, among the familiar
rocks and trees. The moral of all this
is, don't part with the old farm until
you are compelled to and are sure you
