CORNWALL

At the 46th annual meeting of the Cornwall Library Association last week, the old officers were reelected according to custom. The volumes in the library were reported above $500 besides many pamphlets, pictures, coins and curios. Mrs. W. c. Bennett has presented fine and handsomely-f framed pol trait of Captain Edward F. Gold, Company G, Second Heavy A.. c. V., the Litchfield County regiment. Mrs. Edward M. Foote has completed the collection of Cornwall ferns begun by Miss Faye Benedict, which includes two thirds of all that grow in the United States. Mrs. Foote also has given considerable number of volumes. The books drawn in the past year are nearly 2000; cash on hand about $106
 On the 4th two of our most popular young people, Walter E. Carlson and Mabel T.. Swanson, were married by Rev. B. 0. Starr, their former pastor, at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. John Swanson. The ceremony was very simple and Only the families of the two parties were present. Both were members of the First church in which they have been very usefully active, Miss Swanson in the charge of the music and MT. Carlson ill all social functions. The presents were excep, tionally many and handsome.
 The Rumsev Hall school began the year with an. increased attendance, as it has grown from year to year in the past.
 Miss Mabel Starr returned to New York on Monday after three weeks of vacation here.
 ~ A. c. Borland is now able to be about the street, though on crutches. It is not strange that he was elected again as tax collector, as he had gath cred in the sums due from all but nine whose names are on the tax list-all but about $150 of the taxes--whilC confined to his house.
 The Hill and Whipple families re. turned to the city last week and there are hardly any summer guests left.
 MT. and Mrs. T. c. Bate moved oI Friday last to the house near his shop.
 On Monday new mail schedule went into effect, the morning mai leaving at 7:l5, which is great i'm provement though abundantly early iol most people,.
