Dancing and refreshments lowed. Died at Norwalk November 19th, Mrs. Mary Berry Jones, in the 891h year of her age. The funeral was held \from ‘her late residence on Monday morning, Rev. Chauncey Sturges of New York officiating. Mrs. Jones was born in Brooklyn in June 1807, where she was married and left a widow at a very early age. In 1840 she came to Wilton where she met and married John Jones,'a prominent and respected citi: zen of the town. On the death of her husband some ten years ago she moved to Norwalk to be near her adopted daughter, Mrs. Charles Cooke. Mrs. Jones was of fine English ancestry and joined to her many mental gifts a gen- erous and kindly heart. Her hospital- ity was unbounded and many of the » younger as well as the older members of the town cherish pleasant remember- ances of the old homestead at Wilton, where the “great fires up the chimney, roared and the stranger feasted at the board.” Her hand was always out- stretched to assist the poor and needy and those she thought were downtrod- den or oppressed. Until the last she retained the brightness and vivacity of youth which won for her a large circle of friends. Her last sickness was but a breaking up of the earthly tenement that 'had held her soul for so long a term- of years. She was a life-long member of the Episcopal church to which she was strongly attached. Mrs. Jones was a sister of the late Captain Berry and the late Mrs. Ellen WnoIsey of Brooklyn. The body was taken to Brooklyn and interred besides these relatives in the family plot at Green- wood. HURLBUTT STREET. The cider mill is still kept busy.

Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Van Hoosear have named their boy Harold Nash Van Hoosear. He is the youngest Van Hoosear living—the only one bearing this surname in his generation. His great grand father David N., is the old- est. '.l‘he difference of their ages is 79 years. Harold N. is the great, great, grandson of Daniel Nash J r., deceased, of Westport, Conn. Cemetery Hill in Weston has been cut down several feet and carried into hollows relieving the pull on this grade very much. The hill was a long hard one and the work will be appreciated by all who travel it. We understand the work was given by the people of the neighborhood. The" inspiration may have been caught from Hurlbutt street, for when the lowering of the hills near the Herman Gelbal place this fall, the Amblers, J acksons, Kuapps, Van Hoosears, Abbotts, Bennett-s, Geopplers, etc., gave a day’s or more work which made quite a change. It is a good example to follow—and a good way to get the hills put into the hol- lows. CHESTNUT HILL. Mrs. 'John Gorham has returned fiom the hospital in New York city where she has undergone a serious, but it is thought a verv successful opperation. She was gone but ten days. Some lit- tle time ago she discovered a small en- largement on her side near her arm she decided to have it removed. It proved to be two sma ‘1 tumors. Mrs. G. is happy she has passed throught the worst of the, trouble. N. Bradley Gorham has greatly im- proved the roadway in front of his res- idence. adding a good layer of gravel for several rods.

Fun for the Youngsters, Theie never was a child w he did not love to blow soap bubo1es, and what. sport it is trying to see which girl or boy can blow the largest bubble! Here is a soap bubble game which is great sport: Prepare a long table by cover- ing it with a strip of felt and at one end place an arch, then, when the suds are ready you may begin. If but two persons are to play, each player makes his own bubble at the end of the table opposite the wicket and en deavors to send it down to the other end through the wicket without break- ing. Every time a bubble goes through the wicket the successful person may count one or five, as has been decided before the game commenced, and he may continue to make them until un- successful, whcn the other player may take his turn.
