We understand that there was quite lit
tie fracas on Saturday night between two
of our liverymen on the steps of the Addi-
son House. One of the parties asserted
that the other party had assumed his name
in order to obtain customer, and the other
denied doing so, whereupon the man max
ing the assertion struck the other several
times with his fist The accused finally
rallied ana laid his assailant sprawling upon
the floor. Outside parties interfering put
stop to the quarrel, and the moon sails on
as usual.
We predicted about Il year ago that F.
A. Bond. by advertising literally, would
increase his trade in ready-made clothing.
| The prediction has been more than fulfill
ed and the rush is larger than ever before,
Notwithstanding the times are hard and
money is scarce.
A few evenings since, while on an official
inspection of men and things in the street,
we overheard in knot of boys complaint
by one party that former light was not
fair, and that it must be tried over again,
in order to have the thing fairly under
stood 1t would seem that the time and
terms were agreed upon and the duel came
off. ard one of the boys comes ont ''weak
and wounded, sick and sore, his face look
ing like the map of Mexico. The sheriif's
force was dispatched to bring in the boy
that didn't have his face scratched. They
surrounded the house on one side, sup
posed to contain the object of their pur-
suit. The criminal seeing that all their
vigilance was one-sided, took leg bail and
euded their grasp The next day. how
ever, by adding to their force the boy was
captured and brought before Justice Slade
and fined $50 or 90 to Waterbury. He
went to Jail and laid over Sunday in order
to decide which horn of the dilemma he
would take We have some specimens of
boys that if they keep on III the way they
are tending, and have no pull-back, will
make pretty mean cusses.
Speaking of cusSeS, makes me think of
an incident that occurred in our town a
few years ago. An old Baptist brother
had several sons-not of the most amiable
breed. AT last the old gentleman fell sick,
and the youngest and LATEST son approach
ed his bedside and the following dialogue

son." "Father, do you feel that all your
sins are washed away, and that you arc
prepared to meet just God?' This was
a little too much for the old man, as sick
as he was, and he raised up, and with great
emphasis, said, "Judson, go away from me-
YOU are too mean a cuss to talk with me
upon that subject Judson left and the
old man died.
The railroad authorities are now at WORK
running their gravel train for the purpose
of grading up the cattle yards. This il
is as it should be. the animals have to sui
fer enough not to be obliged to stand il
clay mud up to their knees all night before
being cared. When this improvement i
completed we know of no better yard upol
the whole route.
The rush to the depot grounds will

We understand that Mr.. Dodge of thi
place intends to car 5, 200 bushels which h
puts into barrels.
In our immediate vicinity the apple crol
is scant. We understand that several par
