Loiselle, Marcel Quenette, Arthur La- vigne, Henry Lsrose, Arthur Robit- aille and Frank H. Cordier. Burial was in St. Mary's cemetery.
 In looking back over the life of the deceased we cannot but be impressed with the true Christian spirit dis played all through her life. Her sufferings of her later years borne with patience and resignation told of the confidence and goodwill she reposed in her MakeS. How often she did ,admonish us to be loyal to our country, to church and to Almighty God, is now most m anifest to us. But she is gone, she has boarded that good ship of fate des- tined to that glorious land from whence no traveller returns.
 Her words of consolation and afiec- tion often cheered the home. Of re- tiring disposition she had endesred herself ts the family beyond expres. sion. Her exemplary life, always full of sunshine, her strength of character, her almost superhuman courage in times of trial, cannot go amiss. To us these traits will ever remsin a beacon of light, guiding star, to illumine our footsteps on life's highway.
 In anyone's life there are always some phases more than all others worthy of mention. can now recall an incident in her last illness before she larsed into inconsistencies, that deserves more than passing ,notice---in her agony she remarked "that she would be better in the morning. ThAt morning inevitably followed let us hope and pray that her wish was greated.
 Now her life work Is ended, she has left this vale of tears, far and away beyond the river of doubt in her Heavenly Mansion her crown Is se- cure. For the goodness and for the | everlasting inspiration that her life gave us, let us feel contented that her part in life's short allotted span has been nobly and creditably done, She has left us, yes, little while, gone be- fore to prepare .the way. And as last prayer deep Tn the hearts of those who knew her best; Be 1t pleasing and accertable unto Him who doeth all things we'll: May perpetual bliss ever shine upon her. H. N. B.

Q.,,of humble percentage, and being one of the oldest of a large family, gathered the rudiments of an elementary French education,at very early age and gave up school to help her parents at eleven years of age.
 At fifteen she emigrated to this country with her parents and lived for several years in Sutton, Millbury and Webster, Mass.
 Al eighteen, in Stafford Springs, she was married to Louis Benoit. In the Spring of 1877 they removed to to Putnam, in (which place they re- sided until 1884. They then lived in the town of Pomfret, until the Fall of 1895, when they returned to this city

Thompson April School Report

The Intermediate room at North Grosvenordale Is the banner school this month having 9S per cent in at tendance. The Grammar room stood second and the primary room at Me. chanicsyilie stood third. Those schools had 97 and 96 per cent respectively. We are glad to note that the attend. ance has been much better tkis month, no school falling below 80 per cent.
 A report upon the words learned by the first grade pupils shows an average of $50 words. The Fest Thompson school stood first with 9l9 words, and the New Boston primary stood second with 800 words. These are fine rec ords.
 So far this year 105 first certificates have been awarded and "A second cer- tificates. Those obtaining the certifi- cstes have done high standard work and we may we'll be proud of them.

 Memorial Day
 Many years ago there was a terrible war between the North and the South called .the Civil War. Many brave men left their homes to go and fight so they might keep our country one big United States.
 Every year on Memorial Day we march to the cemetery and put flowers and flags on the soldiers graves be- cause they fought and died for our country.
 Many of our pupils are doing work as fine as this and are growing very rapidly in their use of the English Ian guage. +. w. BARBER.

Woodstock April School Report

The banner this month goes to the Chandler school which made the proud record of lo0 percent. The Skinner school stood second with 96.S percent and the East school third making 95 percent. The attendance has been much better this month with the exception of enc or two schools where there has bten much illness. Eleven schools stood above 90 percent.
 A report upon the number Of words learned by the first grade pupils this year shows an average of S6S words. The best record was made by Edna Lewis of the skinner school who has learned TOO words since September. The school making second best record was the South school which had an average of SS8 words.
 Thus far this year 50 first and Is sec- ond certificates have been granted for excellent work. The two schools re ceiving the largest percentage are Skinner and East.
 Evening sessions were held on April 18th in the Valley and Skinner schools. These extra sessions are much appre- ciated by the people if we may judge by the splendid attendance.
 We are glad to note the thoughtful. ness of the children of the Chandler school in isending 8 worth of flowers to MT. Jordan to cheer him in his ill., ness.
 Following is language paper writ ten by Mildred Barrett, girl in the third grade in the West Woodstock school:
 The Robins Breast
 Long long ago in Nortnland there were a man and boy who kept fire burning night and day. After while the man became i'll and then the boy was left to keep the fire all alone.
 The chipmonks and rabbits came to warm their feet while the boy sat down and fell asleep.
 After the boy fell asleep white bear came and put the fire all out but one spark. When the bear had gone a robin came down from a tree and when she saw what the bear had done she famed the one little spark with her wings until the blaze became so not | that it burned her breast. After that all robins had bright red breasts. This development method which is being used gives the pupils very early splendid power in the use of English. Signed,
 F. W. Barber.
