The ceremonies will be similar to those attending the re-dedication of the church at Canaan last year except that in addi- tion class will be confirmed.
 WOMEN, A RATCHET AND wOoDPILE
 Let this be terrible warning to the women who feel an inclination to chop wood. The other day, Saturday to be exact, Mrs. Nellie Caul, armed with a hatchet, went forth to assault a wood pile. Down came the hatchet and am- putated piece of wood and at the same time the end of one of her fingers. Mrs. Caul shrieked and Mrs. I. P. Horn beck rushed to the scene. Under the cir cumstances some women would have tainted but not so Mrs. Hornbeck. She grabbed the end of that finger, clapped 1t back in place, put on some bandages and fixed up things as they should be and the result is that Mrs. Caul's finger will be as good as new in due time. so MUCH PER SNAP
 It has been suggested that one way in which funds could be raised for the Dur- pose of lighting the streets would be to put a ESQ much per snap" tax on the photographers who "take" the falls ever and anon (oftener during the summer ) It is variously estimated that there are now in existence from 1000 to 100000 pictures of this now famous tumbling place for the waters of the Housatonic. The owners of new cameras in this section do not consider that the capabil- itiss of the machines have been suf- ficiently tested until negative of the falls has been made.
