be impossible TO stop hazing at West

is at the head of the institution.

 Wife of
 DR WILLIAM J. FORD,
 Daughter of the late
 Thomas F. Brinsmade and Silence Leavitt. In her fathers most hospitable home, from earliest days, she was his companion, the one beloved by the wide circle of friends, who were ac- custOmed to gather there for all social and musical events.
 To him Washington owes much of it's distinctive character. His ever ready aid and leading in all progressive work, the good cheer his presence ing kindness to all, are warmly remem- bered by those who knew him.
 In this life at home Mrs Ford was trained for the wider sphere she filled in later years, as most loyal and happy wife and helpmeet to her husband, from humblest cottage to spacious home, one with them all in tender sympathy of joy or sorrow. A singu- larly self-forgetful woman, of an un- worldly purity and uprightness and quiet dignity that made her true and faithful in all her duties, always win- ming, never wounding hearts.
 The refrain of many letters is, Washington cannot be quite Wash ington without her, whose welcoming smile we all watched for as we re- turned" Another says. "the little town has lost something from it's beauty, as if the color had faded from the fields, or the sunshine was lessened by her absence. We never felt at home until we had heard her genial welcome"
 The beautiful June day, when all nature seemed full of joy, the church hung with the tender green of the hemlocks, the friends who came from near and far to the last ser vice-s'a service to live by and die by''-which seemed as nearly in touch with her heavenly joy and comfort as can be given us here below-the sacred hillside where we laid her, beneath the mounds of flowers, the air filled with the songs of birds-theSe all told of the life we mourn for and rejoice with in her "glad surprise.

THE LATE ASSAULT CASE.

THE LATE AssAULT CASE.
 The talk of the town is all of the dastardly attack upon Erliss Lake, which so nearly resulted fatally.
 It seems that Lake with other young men, had been to Waterbury, and spent the evening and returned to the Waterbury Driving Park to fill up what little room remained thrilled in their anatomy, and were en route home and near Warmers store when the inevitable alteration took place.
 Lake was struck by one of the con- pany, at least once, how many blows were struck and by whom, are in the province of the court to ascertain, and fell to the earth. He was left there by his heartless companions till day. light, when one of them secured help and carried him to a barn where he was left until f:30 p. m., the next day, without regaining consciousness.
 Medical aid was finally secured, and he was carried to his home in Water town, where he has remained since, at times in a very dangerous condition.
 At the hearing, it was considered best to continue the case to Monday, August 26, in hopes that Lake might be able to be in court and testify. Warner, one of the reputed assailants, was bound over in $1 ,0OO bonds.
