Woman Tore Down Fence.

Mrs. George D. Harrison of New Ro- chelle, N. r., who owns a summer resi- dence in Norfolk village, who has been having some trouble with Dr. F. s. Den- his, who also owns summer residence there, about a fence which he erected across an abandoned highway decided to wait no longer to see if the authorities would remove the obstruction and so removed the fence last week and had the road opened and cleared up. Mrs. Harrison contends that the road across which the doctor built the fence is pub lie thoroughfare. The town abandoned it years ago.
 Last July Mrs. Harrison removed a part of the fence running across the roadway in dispute and Dr. Dennis had it replaced. This time Mrs. Harrison had all the fence, including the posts standing on town property, torn down. She said: II became tired of waiting for the town authorities to bring action and decided to remove the fence myself be- fore the posts got frozen into the ground It is generally understood that the town authorities never will be- gin action and have no desire or right to open the road.

MUST HAVE BETTER SCHOOL

Millerton Board of Education Receives
 Suggestions from Department of
 Education.
 The New York State Department of Education has set forth to the Millerton school board several needs in the school. Chief of the Inspection Division, Frank H. Wood tells them they need equip ment for individual scientific expert ments. He further says:
 Permit me also to call attention to the need of an additional teacher for the 7th and 8th grades. find that at pres ent only seven years work is provided for in the elementary department. An ad- ditional year should be given 1t. I trust that another teacher will be engaged at an early date (by January lst at latest,) thus enabling you to have two teachers who devote their entire time to academic work, thereby rendering it uuneces- sary for me to recommend that your school be reduced in grade"
 The Board held meeting recently and it is probable that the reoomnenda- tions of MT. Wood will be adopted.

Some Extracts From a Norfolk Paper
 Published in 1886

Some time during the month of November, 1886, F. B. Catlin issued, at Norfolk. Conn.,, the first number of "The Norfolk Summit" consisting of four small pages. MT. Catlin stated editor 'ially that if he saw evidences of popular demand for it, he would start weekly but evidently the demand did not mate rialize.

Mir Cone was extensively improving his property, a new fence had been built back of village hall, J. Ryles moved to New York, Charles Davis succeeded MT.

Pity

Mary F. Butts in New York Sun God pity us!' in pleading tones we
 say, Remembering our sins day after day, ''So easy'' 'tis to fall, so rough the pathl At the great day of reckoning, tenderly
 spare Thy wrath. Life is our school, dear Master, The imperfections of our lessons see, And while our failures we with an-
 guish rue. Set to our credit what we meant to do." Thus do we speak, then, rising from our knees, Some luckless debtor in sharp anger seize And careless of the love to which we
 pray, Extort from poverty the utmost pay. An, at compassion's fount he vainly
 signs. Who pity to his fellow man denies!

Men in Double Harness Give a Few
 Reasons.
 Some time ago newspaper, the loca- ton of which we do not know. sent DO st cards to various men of it's acquain- tance asking them why they married. Here are some of the replies:
 That's what have been trying for eleven years to find out.
 Married to get even with her mother, but never have.
 Because was too lazy too work.
 Because Sarah told me that five other young men had proposed to her.
 The old man thought eight years oourtin' was almost long enough.
 was lonesome and melancholy, and wanted someone to make me lively. N. B.-She makes me very lively.
 I was tired of buying ice cream and candies. aud going to theatres and church and wanted rest. Have saved money
 Please don't stir me up. ..s...
 Because thought she was one among a thousand; now sometimes think she is thousand among one.
 think it was because was cross-eyed 1; now I am afflicted with two pairs of cross eyes daily. ..
 Because didn't have the experience, I have now. -..-.s s...
 The governor was going to give me his foot, so took his daughters hand.
 I Thought it would be cheaper than q breach of promise suit.
 That's the same fool question that my friends and neighbors ask me. .
 Because had more money than knew what to do with. Now I have more to do than have money with.
 Iwanted a companion of the opposite sex. P.S.-She is still opposite.
 Don't mention it.
 Had difficulty unlocking the door at night, and wanted someone to let me in.
 I was embarrassed, and gave my wife the benefit of my name so I could take the benefit of her name signed to check.
 Because it is just my luck.
 didn't intend to go to do it.
 I yearned for company. We now have it all the time.
 Have exhausted all the figures in arith- metic to figure out an answer to your question; between multiplication and division in the family, and distraction in addition, the answer is hard to arrive at.
 I married to get the best wife in the world.
 Because asked her if she'd have me. She said she would I think she's got me. ...

LIME ROCK CHURCH.
IS CONDUCTED BY LOYAL WOMEN

Correspondent Believes it to be the
 Only Instance ot its Kind in This Sec
 tion-Mrs. Brasie has Held Every
 Office from Janitress up-FaithfuI
 Service of Mrs. and Miss Ensign.
 Our Lime Rock correspondent sends us an interesting story relative to what he believes to be an unprecedented in- stance in the church history of this sec tion of Connecticut. It refers to the in defatigable labors of band of noble women who have consecrated themselves to the furtherance of the principles of Methodism. Our correspondents story is as follows:
 Seldom in the history of a community, do we find the unique spectacle of a church being run by women, yet, so familiar are we of Lime Rock, with the sight of the M. E. Church being officered by few devoted and loyal women that we are apt to forget that similar case would be hard to find. From the earli- est history of the little church until the present day, the women have been prom inent iu active work of the faith. The late Mrs. w H. Barnum, although not Methodist, took great interest in the welfare of the church ard helped finan- cially and otherwise and just previous to her death presented the deed of the structure to the M. K. Society. The of flcial board at the present time is Mrs. s. P. Ensign and Mrs. F. Brasie. Mrs. Ensign has been Stewardess since 1893, Miss Harriet Ensign, the present organ ist has presided at the keyboard for IS worker in church affairs but most prom. inent of all woman church workers. the present mainstay and backbone of the Methodist church of Lime Rock, is Mrs. F. Brasie. This estimable lady enjoys the proud distinction of having held every office on the list. She has been connected with the church for % years and during that time she has officiated as picclNcnl VI tuG LtliCs Aih sDNASt1 superintendent of the Sunday School, secretary and treasurer of Epworth League, leader of the mid-week prayer meetings, chorister. and by the way Mrs. Brasie is singer of unusual ability, always in the lead with the good old tunes of our forefathers and last, but not by any means the least, is the fact that Mrs. Brnsie has cared not only for the spiritual welfare of the church, but also for the physical com fort of the worshipper, always the first to arrive and the last to leave. She has rendered her services as caretaker for twenty five years and this without remu- neration of any kind. Surely such true and loyal devotion to the Masters work. deserves some eulogy in this life. for in the life to come it must reap it's own re- ward and in the years to come there will always be in our memory the remem- brance of the women who are working for the cause and standing at the helm of the M. E. Church of Lime Rock.
