 If it was not for the thought that The Bulletin must still keen on its mission, we might think up here that with the passing away of A. Walt, Fearson The Bulletin itself was gone.
 l recall with pleasure my long walks on the railroads on both sides of the Thames after butterflies. when In return for my hints about birds Pearson would help me determine the insects eaten by several species of birds we met.
 It was at his request that the ouai, Trap notes were printed and his sus- gestions about the notes and his Ione letters to me concerning fiction ana courses in reading were helnful ir more ways than one.
 Christmas will not seem like Christ mas without the bird calendars and local pictures exquisitely selected anl framed by Mir. and Mrs. Pearson ana sent annually to me and many others
 His great private activities in thi, respect were on a par with his con stant work in all departments of hi, beloved public journal. The snecia kindness of the Man Who Talks" f, the Quail Trap man will be an in effsceable record.

In the effort to save the service of the Norwich and Westerly trolley line to Norwich and the territory through which the trolley travels a mass meet ing of the citiens has been called for this Tuesday, afternoon at the town hall at 2 o'clock, largely through the interest that residents and the town authorities of North Stonington have in keeping the road running through their territory, if possible.
 What form the meeting will take could not be learned Monday night by anyone who could be reached at all connected with the meeting. It Is un- derstood that. the initial move to see what could be done to keep the Nor wich and Westerly trolley running took place in the meeting of Norwich grange, No. 172. a week ago last Wed nesday, when on motion of John E. Tanning it was voted to ask Receiver Robert W. Perkins to defer immediate discontinuance of service and a grange committee was appointed to notify North Stonington grange and Ledyard
 grange of the danger of losing the
 trolley service. Mir. Tanning, Charles A. Hagberg and Edward Cook were named on the committee which noti- fled the other granges.
 North Stonington people immediate ly took steps to do something and en-
 gagged Attorney Frank L. Mcclure oi New London to appear before the su perior court last Friday in New Lon don and also to confer with Receiver Perkins, who agreed to withdraw hi, | petition which was before the cour'
