of Mr. Grosvenor's was slightly to the north of the present home of Dr. Olmsted, and was burned to the ground something like twenty-five years ago.) Mir. Marsh was very famous engraver. and close friend of the artist John La Farge, who frescoed thiz house referred to here. Some decorations in the shape of medallions in an aleove in the dining room are still to be seen, though the house has fallen much into disrepair
 This article goes on to speak of Mir. Bowditch's beautifying of the rail road station, and the grassy con course maintained before Pomfrei Hall, and then launches out into the following fancy:
 The Elevated Railroad
 But these are all matters of individ- ual enterprise, which sink into com parative insignificance compared with other projects now on foot for the improvement of Pomfret. Chief among these is the Elevated Railway. The stock of this great enterprise has been quietly taken up and will not be allowed to get on the market. Tine line has been surveyed, and it's con struction will be pushed forward as soon as the engineers make their oiii- cial report. Its general route will start from the postoiiice, thence past | the rear of Pomfret Hall, to Ben Grosvenor's, where it will cross the road and pass through Mir. Charles Grosvenor's place, spanning from Prospect Hill to Hamlet Hill. The report that Mir. Vanderbilt is to lease the Pomfret Elevated Railway, and connect it with his main trunk lines, is positively contradicted by the di- reetors.
 The next paragraph deals with cleo trie lighting, and states that Pomfret has long felt chagrined that, in this respect, the Boulevards of Paris have placed themselves in advance of Pom fret,-the one remaining adverse comparison with the French capital
 Finally-capping these improve ments-the Messrs. Grosvenor, always among the foremost in Pomfret i'm proyements, are 10 install an ics creamery, the ice cream to be made without flavor on the Charles Gros. venor farm and delivered to patron. by a system of piping. with meters or

the faucets. This is to be done under the personal attention of Mir and Mrs. oleo-M Margarine. The flavoring is to be supplied to each family and added according 10 taste.
 So, with pleasantly and gravity in about equal parts, these columns con reading in them selves, and. to those in n position to survey the past thirty years, of great reminiscent interest.
 S-h, 'H-oppin-ions"
 There is poem to Mir. Augustus Hoppin's dog. Harry, still wei known character in Pomfret. There is n complete list of all the summer visitors in 1882. There is column marked "H -oppin-ions," from which we quote-''inference is the bane of politics, the sting of society, the mar plot of the family, and the busybody of the world" There are satirical, jo- cose and serious contributions on many subjects.
 Fortunately for Pomfrettians, Miss Louise Hoppin has found among her effects complete file of The Pomfret Prattler, which she proposes to have bound and placed in the Pomfret Ii. brary.
 Putnam merchants were induced to advertise in The Prattler. In the copy before us the column reads from top to bottom: George E. Shaw; Fred erick Sawtelle, Physician and Sur geon, (Pomfret); Benj. Warner, At
Putnam patriot., 1923-03-09

When the glory holes of an ancient town are turned out, there is no know ing what will come to light. Recently old copies of The Pomfret Prattler, a paper published during the years lsso- 1884, have been handed about among interested readers. It was not daily nor weekly nor a monthly. but an annual. Only three of the four issues have as yet been found. It has been learned that this historical sheet was published by The Patriot Press. The fact that no files of 1t are found is undoubtedly due to the fact that The Patriots plant once burned, destroy ing most of its records.
 The Pomfret Prattler was edited by different ones, chief among whom. perhaps, was one Mir. Weeks, at that time editor of one of Philadelphia s newspapers. The late Dr. Vinton and the late Augustus Hoppin were among others concerned. Its contributors were drawn from the merry and tall ented social group that represented Pomfret's long summer season at that time. Many were permanent resi- dents, more were visitors from Phils- delphis. New York, and Boston.
 Contributors were, evidently, shy. for practically nothing Is signed in the papers, but many of the writers names have been remembered. Mir. Augustus Hoppin. artist and writer, was a frequent contributor. The Cor ner-the Hoppin residence-was a famous rendezvous, generous in hos pitality for body and mind. We have heard it said that Mrs Hoppin never knew how many she might expect for any meal; also that there was always an abundance of the most excellent cheer.

The old Pomfret

It is difficult to choose for quota ton from the columns of The Prat- tier, so much clamors to be republish- ed. Pomfret Hall had it's prominence then, as now, in hopes and dreams. In the second number, there is History of Pomfret Hall (continued) that should delight the souls of those who during the past year have still been struggling for the betterment of this edifice. It rehearses the object of the hall, the improvements made over a period of two years, the money col leeted and put at interest, and ends, "There is saying going round among the wicked and malicious to the effect that Pomfret Hall will never be fin- ished, and that we are always begging. We know that we are working for the general good. for what would you all do without Pomfret Hall?
 What, indeed How natural it ali sounds.
 Sh-"The Widow Bedott'
 This same number has an amusing letter, reprinted here in part, written by the Widow Bedott. This was the pseudonym of Miss Ellen Bowers, an interesting figure in the history of Pomfret (and incidentally sister of the companion of Whistler in many 8 prank).
 Dear Sister Mcguire: I'm going to move to Ragged Hill. can't stand Pomfret any longer. It did very well as long as the city folks just came for the summer, but now they are building houses and settling down for good it's dreadful. Mis- Hoppin began it. You remember she used to live in the house at the corner in the summer, and go down h the city in winter. But one day she says to Mir. 'Gustus, (Mr. 'Gustus is her brother in-law.) I'm tired of toting these young ones up and down twice every year. am going to put my traps all together and settle right down here in Pomfret." l"
 Settle down to Pomfretw says Mr. 'Gustus, "Why. what'll you do when it comes winter, There won't be nc society,"
 "Therell be society when I get there" says Mis- Hoppin.
 There followed the question of freezing to death in the winter, to which the intrepid Mrs. Hoppin pro claimed that she coul dand would put in a furnace. When she was estab. lished. to quote again from the letter
 Well, neverw says I. "It look. just as if you's picked up a house ir Fifth Avenue and sot it down here or the corner"
 "Well, when the Harrises see how Mis- Hoppin had done they set up 6 furnace so they could stay all win. ter. Mir. Harris tore the inside of the house all out, and such going on a. you never see~
