Within: a short tfme a party came many miles to see and admire the soldiers’ monument. A few months 8go a delegation of textile goods mer- chants ¢ame to Jewett City from Bos- ton and New York in a special car for the express purpose of inspecting the Aspinook bleaching and finlshing plant, which is reckoned among the largest in the country. The borough' grammar school {s one of the fines schools in the state and outside towns are pleased that their children may become its pupils, and now this week a party was here from Boston to ad- mire the unsurpassed beauty of ti lily pond. Every morning at Tldpo'r a mile north of the town, countless thousands of lilies are in bloom. The two ponds on the east and west sides of the railroad cover an area of more than twenty acres, and it is almost a #olid surface of white. When the windows of passing trains are open the delicate perfume is very pro- mounced. A little after noon the show is over and every flower is tightly closed. The main root of the MNly, which lies well embedded in the mud- dy bottom of the pond is as large around as a man's arm and will weigh from five to ten pounds. From this the long, slender stems of both the pads and flowers rise to the surface of the water, ‘Tadpole pond is the habitat of hun- dreds of muskrats, whose princtpal food is these large root stocks. In other | summers quantities of these roots have been dug from the bottom of the pond ; and taken away for transplanting. All that is necessary is to throw them into a pond with a mud bottom and nature does the rest. The flower, which the nymphaea odorata of the botanies is somewhat of & peculiar plant. in that it is difficult to decide where the petals end and the stamens begin. In Gray, we read: Petals numerous, in many rows, the innermost gradually passing into sta- mens. While Mr. Grant Allen say Petals are in all probability enlarged and flatteneqg stamens, Speaking of another season a New York paper sald: One hundred and fifty miles north of this city between the villages of Jewett City and Plal field, the Norwich and Worcester branch of the New Haven rallroad passes through Tadpole pond, the most wonderful lily pond im Connecticut, and perhaps in the country. It is a still sheet of water, one 1\le in di- ameter, among the wild, seciuded hills, and Its surface is a vast bouquet of lovely pong lMlies. So thickly are the lilies tangled together that one cros ing the lake has barely a glimpse of the wate: The lilies are now in full bloom and the lake seems to be a sheet of nod- ding pink and white petals When the wind is strong and the lilies are open the perfume of them is perceptible a quarter of a mile Gom the brink of the pond. The railkad crosses the lake on a low causewa and when a train passes through a hundred windows fly up, and scores of passengers gaze at the novel and beautiful spectacle uttering exciama- tions of wonder and delight. In the season men and boys do a lively bus- iness gathering the liies by the bushel and wagonload and selling them in bunches in the cities. Venders come to the pond from far away towns, even from Worcester and Providence. So thick are the lilles and in such tangled masses that it is almost impossible to propel a boat in the pond and the lily gatherers have to wade for them in hip rubber boots. A dozen men might easily fill_a freight car with them in a foreno\: Not only are the lilies extraordinariy plentiful, but the blossoms are more régal perfect, lustrous and of a deep- er hue than in other ponds. Tadpole is a shallow pond and tadpoles abound in the waters almost as plenteous as the lilies: hence ‘the name. It is .o the home of huge turtles, many fl pounds have been caught in the pmd or on its muddy margin I ArRMY WORMS' HAvVOC. i Oat Crop at Simon Brewster’s Dam- aged—Loss at Least $100.
