In 1857 Mr. Colby carae to Waterbury and wltu ma urotnor i'.awin en saced in a modest way in manufacturing. Thiw hpirftn ln tlio localltv now known as Colbyville, to mako chlldren's carrlnges of wil lnws, a businesa whlch ultlmately developod Into large proportlons. Mr. Colby invented and norfectcd the flrst practioable clothes wringer whlch, knownnsthe "Colby wringer, mith lmnrnvnmnnts. atlll malntains its nscend- Ita numerous rlvnls. The Colby brothers manufactured the wringer ln connec tion with cblldren'g carriagoa, nnd through vatlous fortunes their buslness lncreased tlll thcy formod the stock company known as Colby Brothers & Company, bullt extenslve RhntH. imi)loved a larce force of workmen and sold their goods nll over the world. Thelr ware3 were of concedcd merlt, and the brothers dlsplayed skill and enterprlse. ln oevlsing, matiufacturine nnd tradlne.

Tliev have not decrenerated Into fox tlmber, yet, if some ono may tblnk he dlscovers, now and agaln, streaks of foxiness in them. When that item started on lts tele phonic journey to the WATCiiaiANofHce, itwas " turkeys," and not "churches" that were the vlctlms of the foxes. Mns. Ada E. Maktin has finished her elghth term of teaching ln the Jacob Fllnt dlstrlct, and one of her most succcsaf ul and pleasant ones. Lit tle Mlssea Nora M. Norila, Clara B. Norris and Masters Henry M. Slack, Bort B. Slack, Arthur G. Smlth and Bertle C. Norris, passed the term wlth nelther absent nor tarrtv marka. I.ntirx. E. Lasell waa absent but two days, and A. Wal- lace noDinson absent but tliree days, and had uut iwo taroy marKs, It has before been itemized that ono of our townsmen willed hls farm and somo other property to the church and society to whlch he Deiongea. iney wore to come into possesslon of lt upon the death of bls wlfe, and by the wiujo ui mb mn, nru vu uuiu iue larm per petually for the benefit of the society. It la supposed tbnt these conditlona were"lmposed after mature deliberation on the part of the donor. It is now currently reorted liere that our probate judge, now that the wife ls dead, inslsta that the farm can be sold, and the money therefor be investod for the society'a use, wlthout any violation of the tpirit of the will, and tbat lt ought to be done for the !ei! Interests of tho society. Of course, the only justlficatlon for such proceedlng wonld be that the donor had at least the hlghest good of tho society, but failed to cboose the wisest way In whlch to mlnlster to it. It Is eald that the con sent of our supreme court to such a course would make lt duly valid, ln law. There may be a suggestion ln all this to persona thlnking of similar wllls. when much wlsdom surely ls ueeuvu. iu uua t.isu iuo aonor was a llberal glver ln hla lifetlme. But are there not too f ew who are givlng as they ought whilo livlng, and who better ba the "executors" of their own wllls, lt they are cherlahlng generous purposes ln the llne of givlng somctime? Oun Episcopal brethren wlll surely cnjoy the followlng genulne occurrence, with tho reat of ua. Amoug our acquaintancea is a Congrega tlonal widow, the mother of a fair slzed lamily of chlldren, the oldest of whom was marrled to the Eplecopal clergyman of the place. Rather naturally, perhaps, the young rector's wlfe was deslrous of gettlng a brother, n lad of twelve or fourteen years, Into the Episcopal fold. Johnnte nad been persuaded Into the Sunday-school, and waB gettlng Bomewliat famlllar with a term not heard ln the Congrogatlonnl servlco, but conBtantly In the Episcopal sorvlces, vlz., the collect," whlch the dlctionary deflues as ' a ehort prayer; a prayer adaptod to n partic ular day or occaslon, and read together with other parts of the church service." Now it happened one day, In tho boy's school of whlch Johnnle waa a pupll, that the word "collc" was glven hls Bpelllng class, every boy of whlch fallod to Bnell It correctlv. AHtonUhnil. the teacher exclulmed, " Why, boys, not ono of youable to spell 'collo'l I)o you know whatitis?" Theroupon Johnnle'H arni waa extended nnd BOt to wagglng vlgorously, and at the samo tlme he begau to wiilsper loudly, "knowwhatit Is, teacher, I know what lt Ib." "Well, Johnnle," sald the teacher, " what ls it?" to whlch he repllod, "lt la what the Eplscopals have," of course oonfoundlng the words "collect" and "collo." Tnr. use of oil stoves has greatly dimluishod the consumptlon of coal among the poorer claBses ln New York, Before they becamo common the cornor grocers got at the rato of $10 per ton for coal, Tbat cheating haa largely been Btopped.

Fosteh has finally concluded to remain here and practice hls profession. The nge of his father makes lt seem neceasary that one of tho chlldren should remain at nome. and tho doctor has consented to defer hls return to the West, and will stay witn hla father. Tho doctor ls n skillful pliyslcian of the homeopathlc school, and a gentleman whom all will be glad to retain among us. " I wnoTK my nephew ln New nampshlre," said farmer Hoezood, " that he better come and attend tho Green Mountain semlnary next lall. 1 told hlm tliat tne mstitution naa ueen struck by a cyclone, whlch knocked a great 11010 ln the ground, and a tnree-story Doaraing house sprang rlght up out of the hole." It waa suggested that he meant a boom instead of a cyclone. " Well," replied lloegood, "mebbe it was a boom, I know itwaa some thing powerful, and they say that a cyclone haa n lieap of power," lt is a fnct that the Green Mountain semlnary at Waterbury Cen ter Is begianing to experlence the effects of a genulne boom. Sometimes a boom comes with the beginning of an enterprlse, sometimes not at all, but more f requently after yeara of walt lng. The latter is tho case with the semlnary. The new boardlng house ls not by any means the boom; it is only one of tho many effccta of tho boom. The boom la manlfest in the largely increased deniand for accommodations, and the prospect la that all the rooms In the new boardlng house will bo occupied the com ing term. As further evidence of the boom lt Is gratlfying to chronlcle a gift from Uon. W. S. Hobart of San Franciaco, a uative of Wa terbury, who haa just sent his check for S1000 towards the completion of the boardlng hoaae. Thls generous gift is highly appreclated by Miss Colley, the prlncip.il, and by the citizeus at large. lt Is refreshlng to nnd a man of wealth like Mr. Hobart who has the disposl tlon to bonor hls natlve town in thls manner. The corpa of instructors has been augmented. and In addition to the usual college prepara tory course, tborough instructlon will be given In vocal and instrumental music, also in palnt lng. The commercial depnrtment is a special fcattire. and is recardea wltu lncreaslne lavor. That lts Instructlon is thorough and practical is atteated by the succesB wltu wmcii lts cradu ates meet in procuring sltaatlons.
