DEATH OF MICHAEL B. LACEY

DEATH OF MICHAEL B. LACEY.
 Michael B. Lacey, after long and painful illness, died August IT, at his home in Plattsville where he had al- ways resided. He had always from young man been prominent in town affairs and at various times held the offices of assessor, selectman, repre- sentative and member of the Board of Education, which last office he held at the time of his death. MT Lacey was a man of strict integrity and firm de- cision of character, always standing firm in his belief of what was right. He was successful business man, an honest citizen and his genial manner and goodwill won him many friends, both in the town and state. His pass ing away means an unspeakable loss to his family, his wide circle of friends, and his community. The funeral ser vice was conducted by Rev Allan B. Beeman of Fairfield. The bearers, both honorary and active, were men who had been closely associated with him in his social and political life. Our sympathy is extended to the be- reaved widow and son in their aftlic- tiOn.

EASTON.
THE EASTON ACADEMY.

The many friends and patrons of Easton Academy will be glad to know that it will reopen for it's 122d year on Tuesday, September 8. The career of this school has been notable one, eX- tending as 1t does back to Revolution ary days. Among its many distin- guished pupils perhaps its most distin- guished one was Isaac Toucey of New town, who was a charity scholar at this school. MrToucey was Member of Congress from Connecticut, gover nor of the state, United States Attor- ney-General, United States senator dent Buchanan. In spite of the fact that most of the funds of the school were lost through the defalcation of one of its trustees, the school has been kept open by the town of Easton and has never been better equipped to do good work than it is at present. Miss A. Florence Nichols, who has been teaching the academy for the past two years, will return for another year. The school is very fortunate in secur- ing Miss Nichols services again. She is graduate of Tufts College, and has had wide experience as teacher. well qualified to fit pupils for college, and the experience she has gained in teaching since her graduation has qualified her for teaching grammar school grades as well. It is expected that the school will be fully as large as last year.
