The Newtown bee., 1905-09-15

dUOuU UuEco duu OuS-udll ullcS. uC road is rough and the country rougher. A number of deserted farms are passed on the way, reminding one of the glory of earlier days. Passing through the dense woods our friend, MT Rowland, pointed little family cemetery fenced in by stone wall and was grown up to brush and large trees. Through the brush could be seen the tops of the marble slabs marking the last rest Ing place of David Warehouse, his wife and son. On the stone marking David Warehouses resting place is found this inscription:
 Blessed be the man that
 spares these stones,
 Cursed be the man that
 steals my bones."
 The son died in the early Sixties.
 Passing on we came in sight of the pear to be as popular with the public as the North Spectacle lake, half mile farther north. In sight of the South Spectacle lives John Richards, who has an excellent farm, lying on the plateau on the west of the hill north and west of the South Specta- cle. A fine crop of tobacco was about ready for cutting on this farm. Be- tween the two lakes on the hills, con- manding magnificent view. Prof Babbitt has summer cottage. The most elaborate cottage on the North Spectacle lake is that of Minor More house and Mrs s. H. Clarke of Marble dale. It is built in little grove on a rocky ledge, where beautiful outlook is had ofuthe entire lake. MT More structed a good road from the high way to the lake, distance of about one-quarter of "a mile. Directly across the lake is the cottage of John B. Bates and Harry Ives, formerly known as the Hornets Nest Stephen Beach and J. M. Tucker of Trumbull also have cottages on the west end of the lake. MT Warehouse keeps a register of all callers at his cottage, and the number who visit this wild and beauti- full spot is surprising.

 | A mile from Mrs Clark's cottage is Bromjca Center, two or three houses and the little church, where for three years, Rev Mark Rowland has con ducted services every summer from spring to January, practically wiJho9 compensa tion. A small. fund yield S25 or $50. The church interior need repairs. The clustering in places i cracked and the wall off. It remind l one SOLnoWudU Ol Uuc COuulClOu Ol poor, orphan child, Nobody loved it. But this could hardly be said of th good people of East Kent. The condi tion is due probably to indiffe renee A little energy and leadership woul' restore every thing to frst-class repair From 40 to 75 people assemble here flo worship, attracted by the earnest an. stirringssermons of Pastor Rowland A. more respectful and attentive audi ence the writer never saw. Tn church has been greatly encouraged b the presence of Mrs s. H. Clark, wh attends regularly and does what sh can to keep up the interest. Mrs Der ]: son, a valued worker, among the chi dren, has been obliged to be away tn past summer on account of her worl : Whooping cough has been epidemi among the children, so the little ban of singers has been missed by Paste Howland The people certainly al preciate his earnest and Self-denyin efforts.
 That the Spectacle lakes have fl
 ture as summer resort, no one doubt who knows the section.
