 Amateur journalism has taken live ly start in this village. ''The Litchfeld Monitor, a monthly edited by McLaugh- lin $ Woodruff. has reached its second volume, while s'The Semi Weekly Bulle- tin," by Bostwick & Roberts came to us for the first time last week. The ssMoni- tor" starts off with excellent views of the power of the press, gathers good list of "local," and takes Prohibition squarely by the horns. The second number opens with an original Tale of a Cat. A fickle young wife has transferred her affections to Gan innocent old animal belonging to the feline race" Remonstrance is una- vailing. Separation follows. when rail- road accident kills the cat and mites the estranged couple. We submit. however, that s.Let the Old Cat Die" is hardly a dignifed closing sentance for domestic tragedy of this aggravated nature. The Bulletin begins a serial story of Ancient Rome, in which the hero is for Pompey and the heroine for Cesar and much trouble ahead. Then follows crown Talk" and two or three we'll selected col umns of clippings, poetry and puzzles. The juvenile proof reader must look sharp for such errors as principle" for 'sprincipal'' in the Bulletin, and 'sWould thou" for 'Would'st thou" in the Moni- tor.
