HORSEMEN, ATTENTION.
Tbe object of this article is to bring
all lovers of that noble animal, tne
horse, together and form a gentlemen's
driving association. This is a beautiful
little town and the surroundings are
beautiful. There are several fine
animals owned in our midst, and where
is there a place in New England where
they have better advantages than in
this town to bring our young stock to
the front with the proper interest taken
by the owners? The success of C. W
Williams and C. J. Hamlin and others,
was the result 01 anoDitious puu uu
earnest love, accompanied with proper
facilities. We have plenty of good
material to work on and all that is nec
essary, is interest, harmony, etc. Let's
all pull together and in a very short
time Newtown will stand in the front
ranks. Now the first thinz to do is to
form a gentlemen's driving association
Make the membership fee light to start
with, to get as many as possible inter
ested, and meet two nights per week in
some aDnroDriate Dlace to consult and
talk on horse matters. Have a com
mittee, a president, vice president, sec
retary, and treasurer, and it will be sur
prising to you to see how soon the horse
interest will increase. The first step
taken to form the above association will
be to call a meeting of all lovers of the
trottins horse, to be held at tbe home of
Dr Spring, at the Bennett Blackman
place, Wednesday evening, November
22, at 7.30 p. m. Let all lovers of the
noble trotting horse be present. A

the Seventh Day Baptists as a place of
public worship, under the care of Rev
Stephen Curtis. The society erected a
small meeting house in iJa, out it was
used only a few years, the society being
small, and the building was finally turn
ed into a dwelling house.

out his plans. He had, however, a large
experience in teacning, naving taught in
the high school at Merrick, L. I., and be
ing a nne penman, later taught penman
ship for a year ; he assisted in the busi
ness college in New Haven, and after
ward taught in Darien, Fairfield Woods
Deerfield and Holland Hill. At the lat
ter place he continued to teach to within
eight days of tbe close of tbe last spring
term, when 111 health compelled him to
resign bis position. It is a sad coinci
dence that scarcely a year ago, namely
on November 14, a brother passed away
with the same complaint. The family
have the deep sympathy of the commu
nity in their keen bereavement. Funer
al services were conducted at his late
residence by Rev Dr Plumley, assisted by
Rev J. F. Duinkerke, on Wednesday, No
vember , and his remains interred
Oaklawn cemetery. The bearers were
two cousins, Messrs William and Maurice
Wilson, and Messrs Edwin Banks and
Hezekiah Elwood. The floral offering
were handsome and numerous, bearing
inscriptions, as "Peace," " "Finis,
"Brother," "Charlie," "Kest."

Your correspondent is in error. Of
course tbe grange at Trumbull does very
well, but when it comes to being the
most progressive society In town, Parlor
Rock council, O. U. A. M., claims tbe
honor. In the little more than two
years since its institution it has placed
three American fUgs over as many
school houes in town, Increased the
numerical strength . from 25 charter
applicants to 49 members at present.
It celebrated its second anniversary in a
way which the visiting brothers
acknowledged eclipsed anything at
tempted by any council of the same
strength In the state. It carried off the
first prize, of a handsome parade flag
aud silver mounted staff against nil com
petitors at the state "field day." It de
vised by-laws which the state ollicers
in their leports advised be adopted by all
councils in the state. It has paid all its
bills and accumulated In the neighbor
hood of $500 beside. That is what we
call "the most progressive society in
town." Within a few day 8 a council of
"Daughters of liberty" will be instituted
and then Long Hill will have two of
the most progressive societies in town.
