Like number of other houses in the vicinity it has stood the storms of well nigh century, and MT Hopson is add ing few m )dern improvements, leav- ing the main building, to outward ap- pearances, as 1t used to be. Some fine work on an old fashioned mantelpiece inside witnesses that there were skilled wOrkmen when the last cen tury was young as well as the present day. The carpenter work is in charge of Charles F. Kirke. The mason work IS done bv Walter Barker and Watson Barker, Michael Fersitz and Oliver E. WOlcOtt, general assistants. Situated near Fuller's Pond, pretty sheet of water nestled down in a hollow in the mountains, with Pond mountain tow erlng to the south, MT Hopson and family have indeed selected one of the beauty spots of Litchtield county for their summer home.

Whist was the principal amuse- ment of the evening. The hospitality extended to all by MT and Mrs Flynn was most agreeable.

GRANGE TOPICS.
 At the last Grange meeting exer. cises appropriate to Washington < birthday were successfully carried out. The program consisted of addresses and readings and the singing of patri. otic songs by Mrs w. s. Jennings and others, with Miss A. M. Wakeman as pianist. o. Fl. King gave an interest ing address on "Washington As He
 Was" MT King discussed Washing
 ton from several points of view, but
 the little touch on the ''other side" of
 his character seemed, as was evident
 by the speakers intention, to make
 brighter and more attractive his great ness and his goodness. Miss Olive A. Pease, who recently spent fortnight in Washington, D. C., and vicinity, read description of Mount Vernon, and related many objects of interest seen in the Capitol city. She was listened to with genuine pleasure. A reading by w. s. Jennings and one by Miss A. M. Wakeman, reciting the story of one of the numerous body ser wants of the first great President, com pleted the program, and the next meeting will be devoted to conferring degrees on several who will then be full-fedged members.
