incoming teams awaken the echoes, and
the only movement is the silent departure
of the teams laden with household goods,
and by tomorrow afternoon the last one
will have left, and the ground will, 80 to
speak, enter upon it's long repose. The
directors may well be proud of the fact
that the session this year has been the
most successful ever holden. They have a
splendidly arranged ground, and other i'm
provements will take place before next
year.
The presence of Elder E. s. Watson has

D'h''NpaNN, h'uDt.
Some forty years ago Thomas Emerson,
president of the old Windsor bank, was
suspected of rObbing the bank of $50, 900,
the loss Of which failed the institution He
was tried, found guilty and confined in
Windsor Jail many years. Last Monday as
Col. Harlow was removing an old brick
oven in his house, which was formerly oc-
cupied by Cashier Kittridge, be discovered
somewhere between forty and fifty thous-
and dollars of the missing money in
brick vault under the oven. The bills are
quite decayed but yet legible. The opin-
ion IS that the cashier took the money in
stead of Emerson who, though an innocept
man, had to suffer unJustly for another's
crime Both Emerson and Kittridge died
several years since. The affair makes
quite sensation at Windsor.

lectng, paying out and settling with its
customers as rapidly as possible, is in con-
slant receipt of remit'ances from country
