Keéech of the Quinebaug Lake Ice company, which supplies Danielson, said Friday morning that there is ice 7 inches thick covering Quinebaug lake. Two or three days more of cold weather will make the ice from 8 to 9 inches thick, and har- vesting will begin. Quinbeuag lake is fed by springs and withstands very low temperature for long periods before freezing over heavily enough to allow of ice cut- ting. No ice was obtained there last year, but a few more days of cold weather right at this time will insure Danielson of an ample supply of ice for next summer. A. H.

Inci- lentally t change from a hot cii- mate to the cold of the north caused him to contract a cold .and he is staying indoors for a few days.

Aside fi ob- m the cold he has | conrtacted he is in good health, and glad to be homeé again.

A Thompsonville, Conn., paper Christmas day contained a special ar- ticle pertaining to the observance in that town of the 43rd anniversary of the ordination of Rev. Thomas J. Preston and the 24th anni ry of his pastorate in St. Patrick’s parish of that place. Father Preston form- was pastor of St. James' parish, elson, and is held in loving r membrance here by the older mem- bers of the church, Father Preston was ordained to the priesthood on December 23, 1876, and is his earnest prayer that he may be spared to round out fifty years in teh priesthood. Father Preston is a native of New Hayen, where he was born in 1850, and spent his early days, attending the public school and later the Peter Smith classical school of that city. After graduation from the Peter Smith school he entered. Holy Cross college at Worcester and later at- tended Nlagara university, where he | bursued a two years' course in philos- ophy. His theological training was received at the Grand seminary in Montreal. After serving as a curate in Dan- ielson and Meriden he was returned to Cenielson as rector of St. James par- ish and he remained here until his as- signment to St. Patrick’s church in Thompsenville in December, 1895, suc- ceeding the late Rev. Joseph M. Glea- son, who died several months ago in aterbury and who also at one timae was pastor of St. James church. Although Father Preston's health during the past few years has not been of the best, he has fully recov- ered from a serious illness of two years ago and is now able to perform his priestly duties and direct the af- fairs of the parish with the same ability that he displayed in earlier years. Father Preston has performed re- markable work in St. Patrick’s parish at Thompsonville. When he began his labors there he was confronted with the task of completing the | handsome brownston, church that had been started duri\ the pastorate of his predecessor, ans within a re- markably brief period he completed the magnéficent edifice at a cost in More than 60 yrs. ago an English chem- ist began to manu- EECHAM' ms A, F.
