AN OLD COMPLAINT
Sidewalks and Streets Didn't Suit Peo-
 pie go Years Ago.

Criticism of street and sidewalk condi- tion is not new experience for Canaan. It has been perennial topic for years this subject of improving the street and sidewalk conditions, and the street aP- pearance has never been ideal, as it pro- bably never will be- The following com munication appeared in The News of July 30, 1879, indicating the discontent that prevailed in those days, with the condition af things:
 "Editor of The News: In passing through your pleasantly situated village, could not help noticing the different de- grees of taste manifested in the care of yards and sidewalks. Some places were kept we'll trimmed and clear of weeds, while others had all the symptoms of an absent owner. In my humble opinion, q do not charge much for it,) a nicely keep dooryard and street will do more to make,a place attractive than the same amount of time and m oney expended in any other manner.
 al have been informed that you have Village Improvement Association, in your place; I also heard rumors that 1t is going to clean out the underbrush from a neighboring grove, to use as a sort of park.
 "This is all very good, and shows a laudable public spirit, and the 'en- terprise ought to be supported by the citizens. But if a stranger may be all lowed the privilege of criticism, would suggest that the streets and sidewalks receive a little more attention, then if there is any surplus means left, let the park have the benefit.
 "A clean and we'll kept street always makes favorable impression on strang- CTS, and their recommend might be of some service to place in inducing others to locate therein. TRAVELLER"

He was at hls desk as usual, his robust health and vigor- ous style still undiminished, and as he said to a newspaper representative. "I have no intention of handing in my resignation today" He looks and is fit for many years service at the editorial helm of the Courant.
 When MT. Clark, Yale graduate, B years of age, joined the staff of the Courant, newspaper making was a different business than it is today and news gathering was done by a few men. At that time the late General Joseph R. Hawley was the editor in chief and the late Stephen A. Hub bard was practically the managing editor. Charles Dudley Warner, novel ist and author, was the editorial writer
 The first regular work that MT Clark did on the paper was in getting together a story of the Chicago fire of 1871. It was the greatest property loss by fire the country had known, and insurance men of this city work ed with MT. Clark in going over dia grams and maps of the burned dis tricts in getting at the extent of loca. losses.
 From short shift at city reporting MT. Clark went to the telegraph and | state news desk, then to the exchange desk and then to an editorial desk, where he was associated with Mr. Adams and the late Major John o. Kinney.

Twanging the Tyre.

Something of this kind is due at this season, and as the purling brook and rippling-rill editor is on vacation, the subjoined, from a writer i'll a Boston paper is appropriated for Litchfield county consumption:
 "With the waning of the hunter S moon fall may be said to be securely enthroned and summer to be in full retreat, although at times sudden suggestion of summers sultriness is waited upon us. From now on the woodlands will exhibit their grandest glories of gold and bronze, and meadows and pastures will bask in an autumnal sunshine. From now on the song of the bird will seldom sound, the purl of the brook will become sleepy and sub dued, and the voice of the breeze will utter frequently a menacing and mourn ful murmur. A sort of mellowness will reign oyer field and fell, occasionally broken by cloudy, inclement weather and a damp, chilling atmosphere. But a day will come when all the unseason- able discomforts of the year are for gotten and a f1awless sky and golden sunshine will cheer the heart of man. Then man will contentedly go forth to his work and return home at peace with himself and the world. November and the melancholy days" are at hand. But a perfect autumnal day in October causes most of us to contem- plate almost cheerfully the advent of winter, its icy and slippery pavements, its biting winds and air, It's protracted blizzards and snow storms, and its many other hardships and discomforts.
