TBISITZ'S IXOWER SHOW. At the generations succeed each other, old ways are being Improved upon and new methods are being adopted to foster and cultivate the social element of our community. It matter not what form the effort may take,the material seems to be forth-corning and the co-operation hearty enough to make tbe movement a success. The chrysanthemum show that came off at the Town hall, last week, was no exception to the rule, but far exceed ed In extent and beauty any thing the most sanguine had anticipated. It was the culmination of a project set forth in tbe early spring by the rector of Trinity church, who superintended the distribu tion of plant among the Sunday school children and others, to be cared for by each recipient through tbe season, and brought together in early November for exhibition. The wealth of beauty at the hall was almost marvelous. Banked against the wall on each side the main entrance two tier high were over 300 not of chrysanthemum plants in full bloom of great variety of form and color. Tbe broad platform at tbe rear of tbe hall was tilmmed with evergreens, while a row of choice potted plants and cut flower contributed by florists from Dan bury on the front produced a pleasing effect. Crowd of people visited the show daring Thursday, and in the even ing a concert was given, such as New town people seldom bave an opportunity to enjoy, by out of town , talent. The seating capacity of tbe hall was well tested, and tbe proceeds generous. Tbe crowds In attendance on Friday showed nodimlnuution of interest and in tbe early evening the settee were removed and an entertainment such as Newtown lad es are famous for, was given. Five tables, with a seating capacity of 10 for each one, were arranged about tbe room sever ally presided over by Mrs Dr Smith, Mrs William J. Beecher, Mrs E. F. Hawley, Mrs Charles F. Beardsley and Miss Kls- aatn. The arrangement of tbe tables was beautiful In artistic effect, the spread bountiful, and the service so deftly rend ered by tbe three waitresses who served at each table was complete.

THE GEAY'S PLUS SCHOOL TROUBLE. EXCITEMENT AT FHVER HEAT. , in u rays nam school muddle ap pears to be growing more complicated. On Monday Messrs Brew and Northrop visited the school house, broke In and placed Miss Ryan in possession. Later in tbe day Mr Winton, the committee man, again took charge, discharged Miss Ryan and put a new lock on the school bouse door. , But the excitement arose to fever heat on Wednesday, when Messrs Brew and Northrop again broke Into the school house, placed Miss Ryan In possession and left Mr Ryan, her father, to see that she was not molested. Committeeman Winton with Munson Clark, H. G. Clark and G. W. Bradley, went to the school S- a -v ... uic. Mr ityan met tnem witn an up lifted ax, threatening to "split their heads open" If they entered the school house. Mr Winton caught hold of the ax, and there was a struggle for its pos sesion. Messrs Munson Clark and G W . Bradley were slightly cut upon the hand. Miss Ryan was then put out of schoolhouse. The school door was not only locked, this time, but rails were set and nailed against it. The shutters were nailed up and the windows firmly se cured. Reports without number were circula ted about town about Wednesday's con flict. One wbs that Mr Bradley bad struck Miss Ryan in fjecting her from tbe schoolhouse, but this he promptly denies. The feeling throughout the district is ntense and all Thursday lawyers were it; consulted and probably some ar- re ti are being made as we g? to press. Public sentiment U decidedly with the di t Her. It may be the duty of the three meuibc-rs of tbe school, who have taken tbe recent action that has brought about the present state of things, to keep the school open, but the public generally se ru to think that the district should not have a teacher foisted upon it that it has voted to reject, especially when there are good teachers that can be secured. But the courta will be called upon to de li le the case. MISS NELLIE T. CARROLL. The death of Miss Nellie T. Carroll oc curred, last week Thursday night.
