Lydia DourMs married Stephen Langdon and 'vras the mother of Ezra, Ira and Ana Landou. Ana Donalds never married. She was familiarly known Aunt Ann. She always lived on the old place and died there not. many yean ago.

James Partridge had a large family but they were so much older than I that I do not remember the daughters' names. The eons were William, SUphen.and John Partridge. One of the daughters was the wife of Moses Benedict. As I have said, my father's family consisted of nine children. My three older brothers went to Iowa in the early fifties Sauford, the oldest lived and died a bachelor, dying lat April, aged 88.

My second brother Manning, of whom I have spoken died in January 1908, aged 84. My third brother, Noyea, died in December, 1863, aged 38, leaving three daughters, one of whom. Belle Suyeas, was drowned in the DesMoines River, while trying to cross on the ice one of the others is now Mrs. Amelia Hornung, who has a family of six children the other is Mrs. Emeline Bird, with a family of four children.

My two sisters and youngest brother went to Iowa I think in the fall of 1861. My oldest sister is now Mrs. Elvira Hathaway aud has one daughter, Miss Nettie Hathaway, and is 82 years of age. My youngest sister died in January 1864, aged 38. My fourth brother, who came between my older sister and myself died at the age of one year, My brother Abel, whom every one knows, is now living on the old place at Canaan Valley.

My youngest brother, John Stevens, whose, wife was Mary Spaulintr. of North Norfolk, is now living at Atlantic, Iowa, and I think is 70 years of age. Harmon Rockwell had a family of six children, the oldest Auren Rockwell, who married Mary Benedict; Lyman, Horace, Emily, who died quite young, and Helen and Hattie Rockwell. Edward Rockwell had a fnmily of three children, namely Miles, Seymour and Mary Rockwell. Mary Rockwell became the wife of Charles Smith and was mother of Miss May Smith of this village.

Alexander Roraback had no children. I have already spoken of the Langdon family in connection with the Donalds family. The place occupied by Uncle Edward and Aunt Betsey Stevens was later occupied by Roswell Day, who had a family of seven children, samely Eliza, Mary, who married Thomas Richards, who wrote letters for The News from New Jersey a few years ago Jane who was the wife of Jay Underwood and Maria, Owen, Harrison and John The children of Palmer Stevens were Ichabod, who married Susan Stevens who is still living and was ninety years old the second of this January Smith Stevens who married Eliza Day, and Mary Stevens who married Hiram Bart-lett, whose son is now living on the old Parmer Stevens place. I will not occupy space to tell of several families who occupied some of these old places later, but wilt speak of two that Icau but vaguely remember, one by the name of Sheffield, who lived in a house on the so-called, a distance from the Li wis place. I remember only two of them, one named Hiram Sheffield who was the father of Mrs.

Salmon Barlow and a sister whom I will mention lalsr. The other fauily named Hines, the father known as "old Doctor Hines," who had several children. I do not remember the names of the daughters, bnt the sons were named Hall. Joel and Bennett Hines. Hall Hines' wife was a sister of Hiram Sheffield and at one time lived ou the Sheffield place, and I think the wife died there.

They had six children named Andrew, Henry, Abel, Minerva, Alvira aud Lenoy. The latter is now Mrs. Hiram Robey, of East Canaan and'jast here I call to mmd another man whose unite I will not mention, who was an "Vd rounder," a grdkt cider beggar aud drinker, who my father used to say thought would get outside a pitch or of cider a little quicker than it could be nptied by turning tin pitcher up side down. And now I will correct tw errors made in my first letter. First tun Webster place between the times it was oc cupied by Be ard ley and Webster was occupied by Uncle John and Aunt Hitty Emmon.

Ann Emmons bocamo thn wife of Everardm Ives, and is the mother of Henry B. Ives, of this village, and of Mrs. (J. K. Goodwin, of nt Canaan, and is now living with her daughter at the ripe old age of 80 years.

Now I will say these to inn arn very pleasant reminisceuoes of my earlier lir and I hvye traced the lives of thosn with whom I was associated aud notwd tht iu fluence their lives have had in tniuldiu the charaoter of the people iu the in which tiny have lived.

read, but to love to read. Every tale should have a center of interact, and the teacher herself should supply that interest. The best way to teach reading, I believe, is by the "see and say," or Chinese method. The mental association between the souud of a word and its meaning and its written symbol, may be made best when the memory is most active. Hence I believe that children should be taught early to read.

Very often this ii done successfully at the age of lour or five. Next to reading in importance comes writing, the power of expression of one's thoughts in good English, and language. The best way to teach numbers is out loud, as yon learn names. A great aud important economizer of time, then, is organization, organized preparation of the lesson, organized speed in teaching it, and organized drill upon it afterward. In the trade school at Nw Britain a boy has in two years nearly aa many hours of instruction as we now give in eight grades.

By organization and drill, by recognition of speed and quality as the two essential factors in workmanship, the boys have increased their efficiency both in the shop and in sohool. Out of 800 drills made reoently, only one was imperfect. In arithmetic, boys hardly out of the sixth grade aro now doing difficult examples in compound proportion. May we not hope by similarly re ducing waste in all our schools to increase the efficiency of the output Miss Katherine T. Harty, of the State Normal School, at Daubory, next spoke on teaching reading and literature.

Reading should be taught as literature said Miss Harty, and not as oral expression, or as grammar. 1 Give to reading the full play. 6f the emotions. Select the books to be read with the greatest care, for we have enough classio litera ture, enough material that is worth while, for every stage of the child' life. The best stofies of persons aud places, good poems, speeohes, aud editorials.

All should be used to broaden aud deepen the child's experience. Arouse intvrest iu the work, and develop appreciation of it always. Luncheon was served to 73. From a-teacher's standpoint, one of the valuable talks of the convention was given in the afternoon when Miss Hansiue Wiedl, of the State model rural school, Miry Brook, Danbury, spoke on "Management in a Rural School." Miss Wiedl gave details of the time-saving program which she uses in Danbury. Visiting teachers were supplied with copies of this program.

Mrs. Bieroe's paper oil "Music in a Rural School," which is given in an-other column was read last and was listened to with high appreciation. Supt. Warren, ot Salisbury, then moved a vote of thauks to. the ladies of Canaan for the bountiful lunoheon which they had provided.

We are sure that all the visitors went lysine with a good opinion of Canaan hospitality. Entitled to Them. After the new arrival had registered the hotel clerk looked down the page-and read "Jeremiah Great Chap, XXXX, Kxeczlxvllle."

The fleur-de-lis, the well known emblem of France, is said to have been brought from heaven by an angel to King Clovis, he having made a vow that if he proved victorious In an impending battle with the Alcmanni near Cologne he would embrace Christianity. It was the national emblem until the revolution of 1780, when the tricolor (white, red and blue) was adopted. The royalists in 1871 tried to restore the old emblem to the flng, but, without success.
