 KNOW HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
 To the Editor of The Bee: The Swedish element ins the population of the Church Hill district of Wash ington and the Chestnut Land dis trict of New Milford, now quite nu- merous, has been reinforced this sum- mer by the many visitors of like ex- traction from Brooklyn. The families of Charles Ericson and Oscar John son have been especially favored in
 this way. It has been an inspiring spectacle to see how the children,
 the young Americans of this stock, flourish and grow sturdy by reason Of Uul ethu ShS climbing of our rugged hills. And then on Saturday afternoons when the fathers of the various tiocks, with still other visitors, come up from Brooklyn, the wholesome gaiety and jollity give to older residents a much | needed lesson on how to enjoy life. An instance of this was afforded on Saturday, September 4, when nine members of the Lyran band came to Charles Ericson's. These musicians furnished music for a barn dance at Oscar Johnson's on that night and again on the night of September 6. On the latter occasion there were present more than 80, an interested spectator being one of our oldest resi- dents, Mrs Daniel Clark, aged TT.
 The barn was illuminated by Chinese lanterns and by other means. On MT Johnson's lawn, similarly illumi- mated, cake and coffee were served.
 The dance ended at a. m., Tuesday
 morning. .r

Directly in front of the Newtown cemetery is a little triangular piece Of ground, which is in a disgraeeful con dition. When the late Henry San ford was alive he was instrumental in having the present hitching posts set out. Now the plot is grown up to a rank growth of weeds and golden rod. A gentleman from out of town who visited the cemetery with the Editor, Sunday, said it could be made into a pretty little park. Isn't there enough public spirit in our midst to have this cleared up and not made dumping ground for old rub bish. The venerable sexton, Hiram Merrill, says that at one time there was a house on the plot; at least he was so informed by the late Peter Nash when he was an old man. We respectfully call the attention of the directors of the Cemetery Association to this plot of ground. It probably belongs to the town, but as the Ceme' tery Association is so vitally inter- ested we would suggest they lead in this matter. The expense of clearing it would be trifing.
