 It is pleasant to write that Mrs. Hutchins is able to sit up, walk about the pleasant home and have tea on the porch. Really great gain.
 In response to the item regarding the old beaver dam and pond and peat deposit there comes a letter saying that such bog could be made very valuable if cleared for the rais- ing of truck crops, celery, lettuce, onions, etc., which thrive on peat or muck soils. Crops selling as high as $500 per acre have been grown on such lands in one season."
 Miss Terhune of Holland street and guests calling at Hillside Saturday afternoon brought a welcome gift of books to the Memory library. Since her return to Elizabeth Mrs. Pitzer Miller has sent a half dozen boy scout stories, and copies of the favorite Little Men and Little Women by ! Louise Alcott. The library is growing in favor with the young and the older people like to know where to go when ' IuCy SOt caught up W1Lu W1ldL lS cur rent.
 Mrs. Kate Bugbee Wright of Deep River, daughter of Jason Bugbee, is visiting her brother, Judge George P. Bugbee. The family of four gener- ations made a visit at the old home farm at Moose Meadow where MT. and Mrs. Jason Bugbee brought up their large and useful family and were ! among those who made the Moose Meadow church power for good in that part of the town, that holds a large place in the early history of ! WillingtOn.
 The Boy Scouts had a wide-awake meeting for the tests on the common Saturday afternoon and made a fine showing in sprinting around the green which by actual measure is one fourth of a mile around and three feet to spare. Thus if any one desires to walk mile a day they may go four times around the common and have four yards to the good for another mile. We fancy it will encourage walking. Messrs Henry Amidon and Leon o. Woodwork were the officers of the day. Rev. MT. Allen showing his interest by his presence until other duties called.
 There are many visitors from a distance to the old cemetery and so lmuch interest is expressed regarding permanent care of family plots in this historical Gods Acre that it seems quite fitting to say, here, and now, that the president of the incor- porated Wilmington Cemetery associa- tion is Judge George P. Bugbee, West ! Wilmington, the treasurer Col. w. H. Hall, South WillingtOn;- and the care taker Leon O. WOOdworth, Wilmington Hill. The improvements on the Green suggest possibilities of the wonderful slightly, green hill not faT away. The $2000 left by the late SAaj. Preston Ii renovation of the most needed work possible. The whole corner opposite MT. Ruby's residence should belong to the association, the wall of the his tOric old town pound enclosing the wonderful old primeval oak restored, a roadway made to the cemetery and the grove cleaned up Tor a pleasure park. A bee, of men and scouts, if well directed, could make great head way in an autumn day, and with a picnic dinner be enjoyable.
 On Sunday Pastor Allen gave a helpful evangelistic discourse saying truly that the evangelical spirit must be entertained by the people as well as given out from the pulpit if it were to be controlling factor of commu- nity life, a forceful gospel sermon, listened to by all with close attention. The singing, Miss Durham at the or gan, was inspiring and the solo by the Pastor, Somebody cares for yOu," effective voiced, by one who said to the writer, ''It seemed to meet my need for it is one of my lonesome days" The decorations of wild flow CTS were supplemented by a large and beautiful bunch of asters, memorial to a much loved former member and teacher, Miss Lillian Gertrude Mat theWs, that had marked the anniver- sary of her departure from this life of varied usefulness at Memorial church, at the morning service. It was sent by Mrs. Allen to be given as it is each year to Mrs Preston with whom Miss Matthews boarded when she first came as teacher of the Cen ter school.
 Much sympathy is felt for MT. and Mrs. w. o. Eldredge in the death of their only child, who has won the ad- miration of all for his brave struggle to regain his impaired health through years of suffering.
