WASHINGTON.
OUR ENEltGETIC REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr Kingman Is one of the few members
of the Legislature who have not been ah
jent a slogle time yet, but be says the
business there Is just like his mill at the
Depot. He gets everything ready for
grinding a large grist, stones are sharp,
water plenty, wheel la splendid order
and everything starts off finely but soon
nothing comes out of the hopper, and he
finds the elevator belt is slipping, the
buckets are clogged up and while the mill
Is grinding away there ia no grist coming
out, just like the legislature. We see
the major is on the committee for Litch
field county to see to adopting a state
flag, and a better one for the purpose
could not be found. The Hartford Times
says he is one of the youngest and ener
getic members of the House, although he
is ou the list at C4 years.
A REASONABLE REQUEST FROM ROMFORD
It is getting to be an every day occur
rence to hear of safes beiDg blown to
pieces, stores snd private bouses entered
by burglars who carry away all th
money they can find and the best the
bouse furnishes to eat. This quiet little
place was not forgotten. Last Friday
night they entered D. Gillett's store lo
cated in the depot, by prying the door
open with some tools: gotten from the
car house. They went away with about
$5.50 in money which was unfortunately
left in the draw, and a bundle consisting
of canned goods, bread, cake, pie, soda
water, cheese, etc. S. A. Anderson's
cellar has also been ruminated by some
unprincipled wretch, since which time
four cans of fruit, one of mince meat
and a quantity of corned beef cannot bt
found. Mr Anderson thinks he wil
have no reason to find fault, considering
the hard time?, if the light fingered
gentleman will be so good as to return
the empty cans.
A VILLAGE TRANSFORMED.
The new store of W. A. Watts ia near
ing completion and will be an immense
Improvement upon the old one. The
Masonic lodge, Rising Sun,, will have a
much larger and better ventilated ball
and ante rooms. The new depot will be
pushed along and visitors who come up
by Saturday will be surprised at the new
aspect of our "city in the vale." Mayor
S. F. Seeley will soon see that water
works are furnished to the community
for theii water s upply, atd as to coal he
has a large and fine supply on hand a
ready which he will sell.

weeping fuchsia and it stands upon a ped

are over four feet long. It has now been

great profusion of blossoms that are very
large and charm the eye.

CHILDREN S
DAY AT
CHURCH.
THE VILLAGE
Children's day was fully observed at
the Village church, last Sunday. In the
morning the children of the several
classes of the Sunday school were placed
in the rront pews, and ltev Mr Jivana
preached a beautiful sermon to them and
all the other children present. It was
simple in language, but quite affecting
in narration of stories suitaole for little
folks and others and very impressive.
We hope all of them will retain the les
sons intended from the entire sermon
and remember how great is their influ
ence on older people in many ways.
IMPROVEMENT AT THE LAKE.
J. Burr Wilson has iust completed the
improvements about the Wilson house at
the lake, and is naturally pleased that the
work is finished. The changes give him
a hotel with a lw-loot front. The di
mensiona or the entire buildings are
something like 100x72. The hotel
throughout will be lighted by gas. Mr
Wilson has continued the transformation
throughout the entire hotel, and this pop
ular place is bound to be more attractive
than ever. Mr Wilson began the hotel
business here in 186, and his patronage
has grovn with the passing years.
MISS HUMPHREY MR HOPKINS.
The wedding of William C. Hopkins
and Miss Alice Humphrey, at the home
of the bride's parents here on Wednes
day evening of this week, passed off
very nicely and satisfactory to all inter
ested parties and guests. The gifts to
bride and groom were mott numerous
and elegant. About 100 were present
The ceremony was performed by Rev
Mr Evana in appropriate manner and
the congratulations offered to bridal
couple were unanimously sincere for
their future life and comforts. Ms.v
prosperity and contentment ever attend
them through all these coming years.
THE CHILDREN COVERED THEMSELVES
WITH GLORY.
We failed to mention above, the exer
cises in the evening of Children's day at
the Village church. They consisted of
songs and recitations by the Sunday
school entire, with the exception of two
selections by the choir. All the chil
dren performed their tasks well and most
satisfactory. It is needless to mention
any names in particular for we failed to
see or hear one which was not seemingly
imbued with the spirit of trying to do
his or her best. The service lasted for
one and one half hours, but seemed much
shorter because the renderings were so
well done. Many thanks are due to Rev
Mr Evans for his hearty co-operation in
all the children's efforts, also to the su
perintendent, Burton G. Humphrey, and
Miss Laura Burnbam, who bag for weeks
had tbe children in training and rehears
al and accompanied them at the organ
throughout the services of Sunday even
ing. ve wish Children's day came
much oftener.
