ACADEMY PUPILS SC0EE A SUCCESS.
All who were at the Academy enter
tainment on Monday night will be sure
to go again whenever the Academy gets
up anything. It was a celebration of
Longfellow's birthday and was one of
the brightest and best, entertainments that
has been given in the town for a long
time. I lie evening w as a pleasant one
and the Academy was tilled with specta
tors. 1 lie declamations, recitations and
essays were short and spicy and well ren
dered ; and the choruee hy the school
and the tableaux scenes would do credit,
to anj' school in the country.
Among the features ot the evening were
the tableaux repie-enlaUons from "The
Courtship of Mites Staodish" and "Evan
gelim'.'' In the former Miss Nellie llub-
Ut II took if pa 1 1 of "'PrUciilH," the spin
nrr, ai d .1. Marry Taylor characterized
John A Men.' "Prim-ilia" looked very
pretty st-ated beside her spinning wheel
with the trim "John Alden" standing be-
ide her, mid the plea-ing picture drew
forth a round of .ipplxu-e. The "Evan
geline'" representations were equally well
taken. Miss Florence Warner represent
ed Kvangeline," w hile Harry (J. Beers
impersonated "Gabriel," her lover, Stan
ley lilaciman, the fanner of Grand Pre
and Willi, Haw lev, "Basil," the black
smith. There were three different repre
sentations portraying Acadian home life.
and each was heartily encored. These
were followed hy a tableau repre
ser.tntg "Lvangeline. ' oft.er her years of
weary wandering in the search of her
lover, going towards the almshou-e wilh
flowers in her hand, to care for Ihe s-ick
ami nymg. I his was very prettily taken
by Mis Helen Beers.
A taking tea' ure of the entertainment
wa-1 the chorus rendering fit ' Pilgrim
Father-," w itli cornet and. piano accom
paniment, u hich appropriately followed
The Courtship of Miles Stand ish. ' The
cornet music was furnished by a member
of the sc hool, Palph Betts. Other fea
ture of the evening were the piano duet
by M is- Grace Godsell and Mi-8 Nellie
lltihht ll: vocal solo, "Beware," by Miss
Florence Warner;. "Longfellow's First
Poem," by Agnt" Piatt. The songs
"Exei l-ior" and "Psalm of Life"' are al
so deserving of m rnion. A life-size por
traii of Longfellow hung over the plat
form and a colored picture of the "Old
Cra'gie House.'- Longfellow s Cambridge
home, hurg over the piano. The piano
accompiuimeiirs were played by Miss
Good-ell and Mis lluhbell. From the
rime the exercises began until they clos
ed there seemed to be scarcely a minute
lost and the program of about 30 pieces
was gone through within an hour and a

A CASE FOE POSTMASTER C EMRAL EISEEL
. It is doubtful if there is another post-
office In Uncle Hani's domain where so
much work has to be done for so small
pay as at the' Hawleyville office. This
of lice is rated as a fourth class office and
is dependent upon the cancellations for
it sunnort. which averages about, tin
I cents a day, -vt For this large salary PoBt
"; master r aucpur i : pDtigea to send out
B-ven. -mails per day and take in for dis-
1 tmbttnorrlU pouches, lift has applied to
i nc. e .-in m several timea ro naif nia ram

cure a -favorable response. If all govern
ment olticiuls v. ere obliged to do as much
worfi for so small a remuneration, there
would be far less scrambling for the of
fices The Hawleyville officer should re
ceive more pay.
A NEW BANKING FIEM.
A new bank has been started on Main
street in Bridgeport. But it is not a new
tlroi, for Alessrs Burr & Knapp have been
known more or less, for the past 10 years,
both in and outof Bridgeport. About 17
years ago Mr Burr, who was a lawyer,
and Mr Knapp, who held the position of
teller in the L'equonnoek ba ik, started in
during their leisure hours to establish an
investment business. They were remark
ably successful and for several years had
their offices at 13 Franklin block. The
business grew so that latterly they have
both devoted their whole time to this
particular business. Mr Burr is the sen
ior member of the firm and Mr Knapp
the junior partner. Both are gentlemen
of high standing, both in the city and
where they are known. The . Georgia
Loan & Tt ust Co. and the Missouri Trust
Co. are companies of their creation and it
is with pride that they point to the fact
that customers of these companies have
never lost money or had to wait for their
interest. Their business outgrew their
old quarters and wishing to add a bank
ing business in connection with what was
already established,they have handsome
ly fitted up a counting room in the store
formerly occupied by Tomliuson & Cox
eter, the jewelers, at 303 Main street. At
the front of the room is a private oilU-e,
followed by the banking room. In the
rear are the prlvatt offices of Messrs
Burr & Knapp, and also a room for their
customers, where can be found the finan
cial papers. The wood work Is ash,
handsomely grained and the side walls
and ceilings arcs blended harmoniously,
making very handsome and comfortable
quarters for doing business. They are
now prepared to do a general banking
and brokerage business and will no doubt
continue to merit the confidence of tliir
many friends and patron".
MORE ROOM FOE THE BEE.
The composing, editorial and business
office of The Bee, which have long been
cramped in one small room, will hereaf
ter have more comfortable quarters. The
entire second floor of the postofllce block
has been secured, and the composing
loom enlarged one half. The business
and editorial departments will be com
fortably located in a room in the front of
the building.
LOOK OUT FOB MAO D0G3.
Dogs belonging to George Banks,
Frank .Johnson, Mrs Frances Hall, Miss
Julia Warner and William l'yan have
been bitten. Mr Banks has been obliged
to kill his dog and Mrs Frances Hall's
dog is at large, ft is not considered safe
for pedestrians to travel.
ONE MORE NEW ES GLAND WRECK
Another wreck occurred on the New
England railroad on Tuesday afternoon.

into the rear cars, making sad havoc.
Fortunately there was no loss of life and

tures and are mostly of those who will
nave no use ror the cars. It is interest
ing to note that of the ot jectors, one
spends two months of each year in the
town and several others are here for on
ly three months iu the summer. The
principal argument against the cars is
that the eiuiet of the town will be dis
turbed and a rough element be brought
iu each pleasant Sunday. This is cer
tainly a decided objection which all can
feci, but it is so overcome by the strong
er reasons of the great advantages to be
derived from them, that the people of the
town demand them, by a large majority.
Another objection is the scaring of hors
es. Experience in towns where they
have been run, show that horses soon
get med to them and there is no trouble
in this respect. Thus far the Bridgeport
company is the leading horse. As they
now have permission to lay their tracks
as far as the Black Rock bridge, and will
probably do so as soon a3 the season per
mits, we do not see how another com
pany can get in very well.
