WILLIAM B. SEWARD.

The people of this place mourn the loss of one of the most esteemed citi- zens, William B. Seward, who after a short illness of three days died on April 12. MT Seward was of the old school class, who was always ready to give helping hand to those that were in need or in distress. He was of genial disposition and made many friends wherever he travelled. FoI many years he served as constable of this town and also justice of the peace and for the past four years he held the position of grand juror. He was beloved by all the school children of the district as he was always ready to hitch up his team to go after the young ones when it was stormy. For the past 20 years he had conducted what is known as the Seward hotel. besides being engaged in the sale o1 pianos in Litchfield and Fairfield counties. He made many sales through his ability as musician. He held a position as deputy sheriff several years ago and was often mistaken for Grover Cleveland. Mrs Seward, the widow, will continue to conduct the hostelry for the present. There are no chil. dren.

OUR NEIGHBORS.
BETHEL.
BETHEL's INCENDIARY FIRES.

Bethel certainly seems to be having it's share of fires and things were kept lively, last Monday night, when there two quite bad fires. About o'clock, belonging to A. H. Senior, the carpen- ter and contractor, which is located on Taylor avenue, near the railroad, was found to be on fire. The barn, which was used for StorehouSe for timber in which were about 10000 shingles, besides other lumber, was burned to the ground. The fire had gained such headway, the fireman were unable to save the building or anything in it, but assisted greatly in keeping the fire from the lumber yard and other barns of MT Senior. The wind being south it blew the sparks that way, but fortunately no other fire of any conse- quence was started. Some thought the fire was caused by spark from the engine, but the fire seemed to be all inside and looked as If it was of in- y cendiary origin; It was & about l sounded. This time the shop occupi- ed by s. B. Kyle and l.. M. Olmstead as wagon shop was found to be on fire and the central and top part of the building were all ablaze. The tiremen did good work here. Although the fire burned fercely, they were able to save the north and south ends of George D. Durant. Friends of MT Olmstead got out of the building nearly all the tools and stock he had. He lost few hundred feet. of plank and some completed work. s. B. Kyle $ part was not badly damaged by fire. His tools being iron were not badly damaged, but all thrown about the room and badly soaked with water. His loss will not be large, but his buSi- ness was greatly hindered for few days. L1veryman w. J. Nichols had four sleighs and wagon, which were destroyed and he was the heaviest loser. Expressman E. D.. Treadwell also had an express wagon totally de- strOyed. There were few other car rtageS and wagons stored in that part of the burned building which was used overhead for a paint shop and storage. The part of the building occupied by MT Kyle and MT Olmstead was not badly damaged by fire, but everything had an insurance of about $500 on the whether he will repair the building or let it stand as it is. The fire, which seemed to start from the center of the when the firemen arrived, is mystery. There had not been any fire in that part of the building for months and some ne1ghbors who passed the build ing about midnight did not see any fire there. If there is a frebug in town, it is time to make strenuous eff
 forts to put the party where they can not do any more damage.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

A SUCCESSF UL ENIERIAlNME MENI.
 The musical and literary entertain ment in Hadley's hall on Thursday evening was decided success, the hall being packed to the doors. The entire program was finely rendered. To Mrs Edith Turney Clarke great praise is due for the careful training of twenty or more children, and in fact the ar rangement of the whole affair. Special mention should be made of the clear ennunciatiOn of the children, every word being distinctly heard in all parts of the house, and also Of the per feet time in which they sang. "How Grandma Danced the Minuet'' was re- cited and most gracefully acted by. lit tie Beatrice Clark, who displayed re- markable talent for one so young. She was obliged to respond to an encore, and gave 1.-The Grille and the Cow. J The vocal solos by Mrs Grace Camp
 Jennings, Mrs Kate Flartey and Hen fine. The violin solo "Scene de Ballet de .Beriot, '' was beautifully rendered by w. Stilson, who was most ably and sympathetically accompanied by Mrs Edith Turney Clark, who proved her self thoroughly adequate to the diffi- | cult piano score. The mandolin club 1 from Bridgeport was greatly enjoyed.
 The entertainment closed with the
 Imaginable farce, 1.-The Old Maids
 Club," very we'll acted by all taking
 part. Without showing partiality we 1 might mention the fine acting of the one lone man, w. N. Hurd, who was | the typical Frenchman. America was then sung and none present will ever | forget the picture made by the chil- dren, each holding a flag, surrounding 'tLiberty.' Ice cream and cake was then sold. About S15O was made, | which will be added to the sum already 1 in the treasury for the purpose of re- decorating the interior of Grace church.
