The tragic death last week of Mrs. Parmelie Duhaime merits more than a passing notice. Few women whose life was so quiet and unobtrusive have left s0 many friends and neighbevs to so truly mourn her departure from a world which was brighter and better for her living in it. Her first thought seemed always to be for others—either in Kkindly attentions during sickness or at the time of death, in the cheering words of sympathy in sorrow or loss, helpful acts in a hundred ways which showed that her mind and heart were filled with genuine love fot those about her. If it be true that all we can offer when life is ended and we ap- pear before the judgement seat will be, not earthly wealth or honors or posses- sions, but the good deeds done through life which we carry in our hands, thic kind and charitable woman must in truth have had to offer hands overflowing with acts of love and charity pleasing to the Lord, Whom she had always served so faithfully and so consistently, and it may be added, in that humility which He al- ways praised as a characteristic of His real followers.

The audience was uuusullly large despite the unfavorable weather. The devotiénal part of the service was led by Rev. David A. Pitt, D. D., pastor of the chureh. Dr. Pitt introduced the lecturer; who spoke for a little over an hour. A wonderful collection of stereop- ticon slides, about half a hundred number, picturing famed Bible ~scenes and the remarkable architecture found in Jerusalem, were thrown on the screen. Mr. Lal gave detailed descriptions of each slide and told & number of stories touching on the beliefs of the people found in that land. Among the slides shown were scenes of Jerusalem faken from the Mount of Olives, several of the gates to the city, pictures of the old and new Jerusalem, the religious buildings and other houses of worship, street scenes, etc. Scenes of Bethlehem were also showed.

CLARK WRITEUI Knott Knotes, a publication in the in terest of the Knott chain of botels, of which the Wauregan House in this ei. is one, gives John T. Clark of this cily, writeup with his picture in the February issue of the paper calling particular at- tention to Mr. Clark’s record of 59 years of residence at the Waurezan. This is the way the hotel paper sketch- ed Mr. Clark: We firmly belleve that the world's re- cord for the longest residence in a hotel should go to Mr, John T. Clark, a guest of ours at The Wauyregan, Norw)h, Conn. Mr. Clark has retained his apart- ment at the fo-se for fifty-nine years. This is a remarkable record, and Wwe would ke to hear from anyone who can cite a similar case of such a long term of residence in a hotel Mr. Clark celebrated his eighty-second birthday on December 12th last. He en- joys the best of health, is a menta¥iy alert as ever, and during the last thirty years has not been confined to the house a ddx on account of any ifness. There's an- other record for you. That we, as hotel jprozrietors, are proud of having such a guest on our books goes without saying. Just think of the favor- able light in which his patronage places our hotel. We can casually remark ‘There's Mr. Clark who has lived in our hotel at Norwich for 59 years. Great food and air up there. Mr. Clark hasn't been sick a da-w Curing the past 30 years.

This system has been tried in other cities and having been foind satifetory to subserib- ers and to the telephions company, has been applied to the telephone service in this city. The change from the old method of sig- nal ring to ‘“amdible ringing,” as the telashone folks c1q' it, removes all doubt on the part of the calling arty that the numirer desired is being rung. By an in- genuous arrangement within the ewitch- boards at ¢he Centrals office, the ringing signal s returned to the caller, softly, of cdarse, but clearly. There is then no gocd reason for the caller to bellev that the cpgrator is asteep at the switchboard or otherwise nbzlecttnl of her duty. There is an ap®reclable saving of time for operators under the audfble ringinz system too, which should be reflected in better telerhone service. Much time has been given, in the past, to the supervision of cafls to which there were not promipt answars. It took time to superyise' these “Don’t Answer” cal's But audible ringing practically eliminates the necessity for sunervising calls now the operators recelves the call and rings the number desired. The calling panty knows she is Tinging becamse the ringing siznal is_heard. The calling signal 1s continued st reg- ular intervails for approximately ywo min- utes, unless, of course, Men called party answers pefore the lapse of that time. If, however. there is no answer at the endy of two minutes. the overator gives a “Don’t Answer” report and everybody is satisfied that she has dome her best. SECOND HONORABLE MENTION ESSAY BY NORWICH BOY Daniel Grieco of Norwich received the second honorable mention in the prize essay contest conducted by the Chelsea Savings bank in which boys and girls wrote essays on “Why Boys and Girls Should Have Bank Accounts and Save Money.” His egsay was as follows: Boys and girls should save so that they may have more money to use When they grow older. If they save part of the money they get and take it to the bank, later it Will increaso when interest is added. When they grow olé=r and wish tc go away to school, it # 'l help t2 vay tuitivn or pay for anything else that may be needed. 1 am starting to save 8o I can go te coliege. 1 think all boys and girls should to help them to be able to accomplish fheir ambition when they grow older.

Captajn Knapp 1s one of the few sur- vivors of Company L 1Sth regiment, Con- necticut volunteers. He was mustered into service in Norwich Aug. 8, 1862. The 18th regiment left this state Aug. 22; few changes transpired for the first four months, while in Baltimore and vieinity. Jan. 1, 1863, found the regiment in com- fortable quarters with but few excep- tions, one of these was Company I, with Captain Knapp in charge. A rt hav. ing galned credence that Stuart's famous cavalry was contemplating a descént on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Dec. 30, 1862, Companies C, G and I, with a de- tachment from other regiments, number- ing in all about 1,500 men, were placed under command of Col. W. G. Ely and ordered up the railroad toward Frederick City. After preparations for three days' light marching orders, the companies in a driving storm marched through the city to the station of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, were packéd Into old freight cars and hurried off in the direction where the trouble was expected. About 3 o'clock next morning the cars halted at a place called Mt Alry and Company I was left on guard, while the other two companies were taken to a station 10 miles further, which was a dis- tance of 60 miles from Baltimore. At Mt. Airy Company I had various experi- ences, being left about a half mile above the depot, near a high embankment, in a strange country, and so intensely dark that there was nothing to do but wait for daylight. Captain Knapp rolled himself up In his blankets, and after an hour's sleep awoke nearly frozen and found his men trying to make themselves comfortable by a large fire. Ed Spalding handed him a cupof hot coffee which, with the fire out- side, finally warmed him up. Some of the company struck off in the dark, found farmhouses, galned admission, and took comfortable possession. Almost every famlly in the place were rebels, but Cap- tain Knapp discovered one Union man who fully acquainted him with the sit- uation and pointed out a large barn near by which the command could confiscate for military purposes. The owner was interviewed and the inquiry made if he v LEBANON M DISCUSS EGG MARKETING At a meeting at Chestnut Hill held n Thursday evening a good sized crowd Jf poultrymen turned out to listen to what Professor Davis of Storrs college had to say in regard to the egg market- ing situation here in Connecticut. Thi: meeting was arranged for by the Tolland county and New London county farm counties, Following Professor Davis’ talk, a sur- vey was made of the poultrymen present to discover what markets these men had for their eggs and what prices were be- ing received and also the kind of hens kept." The majority of men with large flocks were selling to the wholesale trade going to Providence and Hartford. A few were shipping to New York. Prices ranging all the way from 45c to 60c were given by the men during the past week. This survey showed that there were around 6,500 hens represented by the poultrymen attending this meeting and practically all of the ilarger producers are keeping White Leghorns. The interesting part of this survey was that a large number of white eggs are being shipped to Providence market, which is essentially a brown egg market. The survey made in another part of the county showefl that a .majority of th hens were Rhode Island Reds, which pro- duce a brown egg, and that a large num- ber of these men were shipping to the Providence market.
