Northrop. A petition having been re
ceived from the residents of Pake (ieorge
asking that an appropriation be made
them It was voted that the board pro
vide a way of furnishing the children a
school. The most expedient and eco
nomical was to provide a way of convey
ing the pupils to Land's Knd district
where it was thought they would re
ceive better schooling than they would
to re -open Lake ( ieorge school for only
it short season. Mr Peers was named a
committee to make the necessary ar
rangements. P-nder the new law of last
whiter it is necessary to make, a change
or adopt a new text-book on physiology
and hygiene or else lose the school divi
dend from the state. The necessary no
tice was given and a new book will prob
ably be adopted at a future meeting.
The law requires a book for intei medi
ate and primary pupils that shall give
at least one-fifth of their space, to the
consideration of the nature and efl'ects
of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and
the books used in the higher grades
shall contain at least 20 pages of matter
relating to this subject. It was also
voted to call the attention of the select
men to Chapter 'J(KI, Section 1, of school
laws, relating to flags for school dis
tricts and request that they be forth
coming. Each district is entitled to a
flag and the law plainly states "that it
shall be the duty of the selectmen to
provide on or before the first day of Oc
tober, 1H',.) each school house not already
supplied with a t'ulted States flag of
silk or buuting not less than four feet In
length, and a suitable flag start whereby
such flag may be displayed on the school
house grounds every school day when
the weather will permit, and to renew
such flag and apparatus from time to
time when necessary."

MISS MALLETT Mlt IJEACll.
Wednesday was one of autumn's fairest
days and surely no more fitting day
could have been chosen for a wedding.
This was the appointed day that Miss
Lila F., daughter of A. B. Mallett, was
to be united in the holy bend of matri
mony to Frank II. Beach of Bridgeport.
The ceremony took place at 3 in the af
ternoon at the home of the bride s
father, Rev G. II. Smith tieing the nup
tial knot in an impressive manner. The
parlor, in which the ceremony took
place, was beautifully trimmed with
wild flowers and autumn leaves, and the
bridal couple stood before a large bank
of autumn leaves and ferns while the
ceremony was performed. The bride
was becomingly attired in a dress of
mauve Lansdowne, trimmed with white
lace and wore white gloves, while the
groom wore tne coventionai suit ot
black and white gloves. The maids of
honor were Miss Bessie, sister of the
bride, and her cousin, Miss Tillie Bene
dict of Riegefield. After the ceremony
and the usual congratulations a bounti
ful collation was served with ice cream
and fruit for desert. Some time was
then spent in social chat, during
which time all present inscribed their
names as witnesses in a handsome gift
book. The bride then donned her
traveling suit of navy blue ladies cloth
and the happy couple, amid pouring
showers of rice, and with their carriage
gaily decorated with old shoes, left for
New Milford, where they took the G.22
train for Bridgeport. Several friends
accompanied the party to New Milford
to see them off on the train. The preb"
ents were numerous and valuable.
Among them was a haudsome gold and
silver piano lamp from the Sunday
school teacher and class of which the
bride wa3 a member. Mr and Mrs
Beach will make their future home in
Bridgeport. The bride will be greatly
missed in this place, especially by the
young people, but we feel that the
song bird that leaves us at the summer's
close, perchance she has gone to seek
a more congenial clime and shine in
higher and wider circles. Our best
wishes for the happiness and success of
the young couple follow them. Among
the guests from out of town at the wed
ding were the parents of the groom, Mr
and Luman Beach of Bridgeport, Misses
Ida Jackson and Grace Merwin and A.
Hamlin of Danbury, Mr and Mrs William
Hamlin of Lanesville, Mrs Andrew Ben
edict and daughter, Tillie, of Ridgefield,
Miss Fannie Warner of New Milford,
and Misses Fannie and Amelia Thorn

SOME BRIDGEWATER STORIES.
Your Roxbury correspondent does
very well on the eel question, but the
eel was too small and should not have
been picked quite so early. We had the
pleasure of bagging two, which together
weighed eight pounds and five ounces,
the larger one four and one half pounds,
and the smaller three pounds and 13
ounces. The larger one was 45 1-2
iaches in length and nearly 11 inches in
circumference. Next! Enclosed please

TAKE HOLD AND HELP.
We are glad to hear that the sewer
spoken of in these columns a few weeks
ago, is likely to be built, everybody, or al
most everybody, falling in with the idea.
As usual there are some who do not see
the need of it, but probably the day will
come when they, too, may be glad to use
it, which we have no doubt they will be
permitted to do by paying well for it.
The time to help is when help is needed.
We hope every one will have enough vil
lage pride to take hold now and not
wait until their help is not needed.

AT THE FALLS.
Down at the Falls, Jay Tyrrell is tending to
all the cider apples that comehis way in a
press of his own get up. It consists of a cross
beam and two twin screws and with it he can
make cider as fast as the best of them and get
as much juice from the apples. The shingle
mill has been vsy this fall and he has already
cut np over 100,000 shingles. The prospects
are for a busy season at the saw mill, as there
are many who have already spoken for the
sawing of their timber.
Four eels were recently caught at the Falls
that weighed 18 pounds. The eels are said to
be larger than usual, this season.
Who can beat this? Jay Tyrrell had in his
front yard a limb on one of his apple trees, not
over 12 inches in length, that' bore 11 apples
that weighed in all three and a half pounds

BUY T0TJE STOCK NOW.
FIIOM Oi l! SPECIAL COHRESCOSOKNT.
Don't wait if you want to buy good
stock at cheap prices, reader. We give
below some of the advantages of buying
birds in the fall. Here they are: The
breeder has a larger stock on hand from
which to select. He has more birds
than he can accommodate and will "thin
out" at a sacrifice. As business is dull
at this season, he can do a better part
for you. If he is compelled to keep his
stock over until spring he will add the
extra expense, and if eggs are in demand
he will not sell at all. In the spring the
yards are made up and the breeder will
not break his mating?, nena and pul
lets of any breed are seldom to be had in
the spring. By buying young birds
now you may get the best, as the best
birds cannot be well selected until they
are matured. Cockerels are in excess
now, you cannot appoint a better time
than tne present to secure one. D. T.
