excellent teacher in Canterbury, in Pennington, Conn. and Florence, Mass. and was regarded as an ideal educator.
 Judge Bond was married in Canter- bury May 20, 1863, to Miss Susan J. Dyer. daughter of Harvey R. Dyer and niece of Elijah Dyer, for more than fifty years an accomplished physician of Norwich, Conn. Four children were born to them, one daughter and three sons. all of whom survive except one son who died in early youth.
 The grandfather of Judge Bond on his maternal side was George s. White, a retired Episcopal clergyman who resided in Canterbury. This gen. tleman entered with great zeal into the temperance movement in Windham county which was inaugurated about 1926, making speeches of great power and e1oquence and working most off, cientIy. At lecture he was to deliver in the old Red Westinghouse he once cowed number of bullies who were gathered on purpose to molest him, around A table on which there was in- toxicating liquor, by going straight to the desk and opening on them in this manner: Tt is said that we ought not to engage in any act upon which we cannot ask the blessing of God o Lord, thou knowest that thy servant IldS Dtch III d1l p1TLS OI lIIS NOIlU, among Indians, cannibals, Jews and Turks. but never has he seen such miserable, God-forsaken wretches as those now before him." and then going on and praying earnestly for them, he so thoroughly subdued them that they dared not disturb him but quietly heard him through.
 Descended from such anc estry, it is not strange that Judge Bond sought constantly to promote temperance, jus tice and righteousness. Men well ac- auainted with his work as attorney and judge eulogized 1t most highly. He was especially interested in probation work in efforts to keep youthful wrong : doers out of jail and to care for them and because he saw the great need of it, during twelve years experience as district attorney. took a very active part In it's advancement. All matters committed to him he considered cara- fully and spared neither labor nor hardship in attending to them. Of him it can be aptly said
 Generous as brave Affection, kindness and the sweet
 offices
 Of love and duty were to him as need

IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN.

It is suggested that a worthy me morial to Abraham Lincoln would be a broad, smooth. permanent highway from Washington to Get.ysburg. and the Boston Globe amends this by af- firming that it might be better to have tbs highway extend from Wash ingfop to Richmond. thus including not only one battlefield, but several. A permanent stretch of good roads over any considerable section of the United States, connecting population centers between which there is a great deal of natural business traffic, would be fitting tribute to any of this country's forefathers, and it would also serve as a practical utility.
 -Ansonia Sentinel
 This is a fine suggestion. well amend ed. A Lincoln road from Gettysburg to Richmond would be a most fitting me moria1 of the country's greatest pres- ident. In these days great men are being memorialized less and less in marble and granite statues and more and more in the things which are of continuous use to man.
 Just now England is considering the setting up of a memorial to King Ed ward. and attention is being called to the fact that no thought is given to the erection of d great sculptured column for we have reached an age which rec osnizes that thousaTsds put in cold stone are not to be compared with thousands put i1to some living. hu- nanity beneifing purpose. It is thought a great hospital may be en- dowed at 1.ondon in King Edwards name.
 A good Lincoln road of national in1- portAnce between these centers of great st1ffe should be one of the finest things eo perpetuate peace between the north and the south.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
csnterbury's Successful Sons.

MT. Editor: The town of Canterbury Conn, has ill the course of it's history sent forth goodly number of men who influence for good in other parts Of the world, and among these is the Hon. Daniel White Bond. who died last Sum- day evening at his home in Waltham, Mass. <He was born in this town April 29. 1888, and like the great Webster who said he made his early home in the wilds of New Hampshire an annual visit. often returned to it and looked upon the scenes of his childhood and youth. He was the son of Daniel H. and Deborah (White) Bond and was descended from William Bond, who settled in this state in 1880. Other descendants of William were Nathaniel William. John and Lydia. who were members of the First Congregational church of Canterbury Green. Still others were Lester Bond, who was a member of congress from Illinois in 1887, and Emmons F. and Julius Bond who graduated from Brown university and became Baptist ministers, and these three were cousins of Daniel.
 Like many other young men who rose to distinction he did not obtain his education easily, but had to strug- gle fer it. and largely met his expenses by teaching and shorthand reporting. He. attended the district schools of the town. Plainfield academy and the New Britain Normal school, and after read ing law while at home studied at the law school of Columbia college, New York. where he received $200 prize, the highest offered his class. When he was admitted to the bar he pursued his profession first q short time, in Provi- dence, R. l.. and then for 8 long period at Northampton, Mass. being regarded there as one of the ablest lawyers in all that region. In 1877 he was elected district attorney for the northwestern district of Massachusetts and in 1S90 was appointed by Governor Bracket a judge of the superior court.
 His brother. Henry H. Bond, attend ed the same law school in New York and took 8 similar prize, and when that was handed to him was asked: Are there any more Bonds in Canter- bury to come to New York and carry off the s200 prizes?" Henry became a partner of Daniel and had not his career been cut short by death at the age of 34 years would probably have attained great success.
