cent discovery Of an ancient city, buried
beneath the forest, about $50 milts from

to the priests the secrets they disclose.

Sentence Of FOote.-Henry L. Foote,
Of Branford, was last week tried before
the Superior Court in New Haven, for the
murder of his niece, girl of twelve
years. He was convicted Of murder in
the first degree and on Friday morning,
Sentence of Death was passed upon him
by Chief Justice Church, in a most SOL
emn and impressive address, which had,
however, more effect upon the auditors
than upon the criminal, who maintained
a stoical Indifference. The third Wed
nesday of June next, between the hours
of nine in the forenoon and three in the
afternoon, is the time appointed for his
execution.

Serious Accident.

As Mr.. Frederick Sedgwick, the Prin-
cipal of the Academy at Stratford, Conn,
was making some experiments with an
explosive gas, before a few friends on
Thursday evening last, by some unfor-
seen accident, the gas in the gasometer
exploded, breaking Mr.. sedgwick's leg
in two places, one of his fingers, and
badly injuring his face The expl sion
was so violent that the lights were all
extinguished, and he was found lying on
rhe floor completely insensible. He was
taken up and carried to his room, where
the best medical attention was given him,
Dr.. Knight of New Haven, was called,
and gave his opinion that although he
had sustained most serious injury, still
there was hope that no amputation
might be necessary.

two are fast recovering from their Iameness.

LITCHFIELD ENQUIRER
LTTCHFTELD, October Is, 1919.

n-The New York City and State
Election takes place next Tuesday The
result may depend mainly upon the sue
cess or non-success of the attempt to
unite the hunkers and barn burners. II
an entire union Of these factions is effect
ed at the polls, the wings will hardly be
successful-though we hope to record
their triumph even then.
In the city, the Mayor and Recorder
hold over. Among the nominations made
by the wings, we notice that Lewis B.
Woodruff, Esq, (son ofthe late Gen. NJ.
Woodruff, of this village,) is the candid
ate for Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas and Col. Heman w. Childs, also
from this town, is the candidate for Com
missioner of Streets and Lamps.
We are grati6ed to notice, also, the
nomination Of H nry J. Raymond, ESQ.,,
of the 9th ward, as member of the AS
sembly. Mr.. R. was for some years an
editor of the Tribune, and is now one of
the editors and proprietors of the Courier
& Enquirer gentleman of fine talents
and attainments, an able public speaker,
and sound wing. We trust he will be
elected.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Mr.. Allow me place in your
columns, to remind the Teachers of this
section of the State, that the Institute or
Convention appointed by Mr.. BEERS
opens at Bridgeport on Monday evening,
November 5th. Mr.. BARNARD, the pres
ent Superintendent of Common Schools,
will deliver an Introductory address on
Monday evening, and will conduct the
exercises through the week, assisted by
Prof. DAWES, Mr.. RUSSELL, and other
practical Teachers. Arrangements have
been made by the citizens of Bridgeport,
to entertain all who may attend the Con-
vention. Return tickets will be given to
all who may pass over the Naugatuck
and Housatonic Railroads. We hope
there will be general attendance Of the
Teachers Of the county. District Com
mittees should give their Teachers every
facility to be present, for it will be to
their schools the most profitable week Of
the winter session.

Toronto once more the Capital Of Cam
ado.-At the last session of the Legis-
lature, the House of Assembly, and, we
think, the Legislative Council, also, ad-
dressed the Governor General, request
ing that the public business might be
transacted two years at Toronto and two
at Quebec-the Parliament sitting half
the time in each of these cities. Lord
Hgin has complied with this request and
the public Offices and their occupants
are by this time on their way to Upper
Canada. The people of Montreal are
vexed at this change, but their riotous,
violent conduct last winter proved them
undeserving of the peculiar advantage
they possessed.

Fires in New HGven.-On Monday
night of last week, the extensive brick

wooden building on the corner of State

building was owned by Samuel Scovill,
Esq, of W. Cornwall, in this county.
