ANOTHER MEAN ACT.

On the night of the dance at tho schoolhouse in the Glen, last week, some one was mean enough to take trace from the harness of MT. Edgar F. Haw' ley, and another from Mir. Henry c. Hawley, ticket agent at Hawleyville, and when these gentlemen started for home they were put to great inconvenience, and were detained, until they could pro cure conveyance home The traces were found few days after, where they had been thrown, into the ravine.
 This sort of conduct is noi the work of thief, nor yet of gentleman, but of some one sadly in want of brains and good manners.

A RUNAWAY.

Last Friday, while the funeral process sion of Mrs. Bridget Costello was pas sing the residence of Mir. Judd, near Gays carriage factory, pair of horses, attached to hack belonging to Platt Osborne, of Danbury became frightened by the breaking of 8 trace, and started on a run. They ran across the road, and striking telegraph pole, broke off the pole of of the hack, and freed themselves from it. The driver held on, and al- though assisted by another man.. both -sen were drawn over the dashboard, the large glass front broken, and other damage done. No one was hurt. Considerable excitement was occasion ed by the frightened horses.

ATTRIBUTE,

It is long since our community was so sadly shocked as on Saturday last, at the announcement of the death of Louis H. Peck, by drowning in the Housatonic River. He was born with a slender frame and delicate constitution, but the untiring devotion of affectionate parents brought him to early manhood, well de veloped in body and mind. At an early age he showed strong desire for know ledge and this grew with his growth. His chief pleasure, to the last day of his life, was in the perusal of books of utili- ty and science He had little love for fiction. but was particularly fond of his tory, and aa he had an uncommonly re- teDtive memory, he possessed mass of information of which man of mature years might well be proud. About two years ago he was engaged as principal of one of our public schools, but did not enter upon his duties owing to an attack of acute disease. Not long since he en- tered Eastman's Business College at Poughkeepsie, but the air of that place produced bronchial affection which compelled him to leave He returned tp the hills he loved so we'll, and their bal my breezes soon restored him to his usual health. He was good comboser, and often wrote humorous and merry articles on men and things, but he preferred to keep these essays in his private drawers, so that his intimate friends knew but little of his talent in this direction. He was correct in his habits and gentleman ly in his manner. The haunts of vice had no charms for him. and though sur rounded with temptations, he kept him self unspotted He was a consistent member of the 'Good Templars, and a regular attendant upon their meetings. He was respected and loved by all, but most by those who knew him best. His last days were particularly bright and babpy With light step and lighter hesrh he rambled over our hills and mouRtains and by tbe side of our mur- muring streams But he has crossed that other river, and found that better country from which there is no return.
 There let us meet him,
 When life's struggles over,
 The pure in love and thought their faith re-

LECTURES.

Dr. Miller, who has been in town for several days, closed his lectures on last Monday night, and went to Bethel on Tuesday, and gave his first free lecture Wednesday evening, in Fishers Hall. Our citizens who were fortunate enough to hear the doctor, speak in the highest terms of him, and his mode of instruction and regret tbat he did not have more successful hearing We heard the doc tor twice, and are sincere in, what we say. that he is without doubt, the most entertaining and instructive medical lec- turer we ever heard, and it will pay the people of this town to have him come again.
 To those of our readers in Bethel, we would say go hear him by all means Every young man should hear, without fail, The doctor has the finest anatomi- cal cabinet that we have ever seen. He is man of fine personal presence, and a christian gentleman; it will pay any man or woman, young or old, to attend his lectures.

A SUDDEN DEATH

Last Saturday afternoon man named Francisco was found laying across the railroad track, few steps. beyond the depot. in this town, soon after the arrival of the 5.65 train, and as he was suppos. ed to be drunk, some of the train hands drew him away from the rails, and the cars passed on for Bridgeport. Atten- tion was called to the man by persons around the depot, and some went to see him, and upon examination he Was found to be dead. The report isoon cir culated, and persons who knew the man said that he was one of the workmen employed upon the residence or Dr Wilcoxson, and that his intention was to visit his home in New Haven. He evidently reached the spot where he was found by croOssing lots, and could not have been there very long before the arrival of the down train. The man has worked here for several weeks, and boarded at the house of MT. Hezekiah Peck Very little could be learned con corning the man, except that he had a family somewhere in New Haven. A telegram, was sent, announcing his death, but no answer came until Monday, which requested the body to be sent on. This was rendered impossible by the rapid decomposition of the remains, which laid in tie depot until Monday morning, in plain pine box The corpse was taken in charge by the un- dertaker, Mr. Prindle, and taken to the cemetery for interment. Upon the per son of the deceased were few dollars We heard that the man remarked on the day of his death. in the morning, that he wished he was dead, He had been complaining several days, and it. is be lieved that he died of heart disease. He was apparently about 60 years of age

 MAnegs M p,c. 2; HAwLES' u,,,,.,,n m EDWIN CLARK,
 DEAR SIRs:--I see no difficulty in constructing a portion of your works this Fall,' if sufficient means can be ob- tained to do SO, which l have no doubt can be done when properly understood by the citizens, A survey will have to be made as. to elevation and distance from village, to determine the cost, also location of reservoir. As to land dana. ges for said reservoir, there is not the least need of any charter al present, as the Company can purchase the land and construct the reservoir a: once, and lay pipes in the Spring, and have the works ready for use in the Summer. There is not in my mind the least doubt about the supply, but what it is abundant, duality excellent, at such a short dis tance from the village. You can get the lowest figures for the pipe, say 5x4 inch 3.S 9 1.2 inch thick delivered at Bridge port. It is not customary for any dam age in laying pipe through lands, only for actual damage if there should be any occur. There are but few villages in New England at such an elevation as the village of Newtown that are able to ob- tain such ap abundant suprly of pure water for domestic and fire purposes as your own, at such a small cost It is a well-kpow fact that all waters are not equally adapted to domestic use, and those which are so adapted are rarely found in the localities where they are to be used, go that in many cases it be- comes necessary to bring the supply from distance. All villages or towns that have good supply of water for all purposes, are favored with one of the luxuries as well as the necessities of life. According to the history of the past in regard to introducing water into any vil- lage, I do not think there is one person who would be willing that it should be discontinued after having been. intro duced into the village. The; saving of one dwelling alone would pay the en- tire cost of the work. This one point has been well demonstrated in New En- gland. I simply throw out these few thoughts for your consideration.
 Very truly yours,
 B. H. HULL,
 Hydraulic Engineer.

THE DEDICATION OF TAUNTON CHAPEL

A large number of persons were gath cred together on Sunday, to witness the dedication services.
 Bethel, Newtown, and the immediate neighborhood, were well represented.
 The chapel was densely packed. Chairs and settees were brought in, and still many people were obliged to stand, and many were unable to get in at all.
 At 215P. NJ. the prayer of invocation was offered by Rev MT. Hoyt, of New town. This was followed by singing, conducted by Rev. G. F. Waters, of Bethel, and reading of scripture, by Rev Mir. Riddle. The reading was followed by prayer and singing, after which the sermon was delivered by Rev. A. P. Chapman, of Bethel.
 Next followed the dedicatory prayer, by Rev Mir, Waters, historical state ments, by Rev. MT. Hoyt, singing, etc., closing with the benediction, by Rev. Mr. Riddle.
 The chapel is commodious edifice, with seating capacity of about two hundred. It was erected by the liberal ity of Miss Beers, and designed to be a free chapel, for the use of the neighbor hood.
 The chapel is the handiwork of Gil- bert Bros, of Bethel, and is neat and substantial in appearance.

The party given by the Misses Gately, at the Glen schoolhouse, last Thursday evening, was very creditable and en- ioyable occasion n
 The building has been recently en- arged and remodeled, making two large looms, which were very handsomely de. orated with flags and evergreens, mak- ng it look quite like fairy bower.
 Although an unpleasant evening. there were about fifty persons present, and we noticed many of our. friends from out of town, which we were very glad to zee. The music, by Bradley's Band, vas splendid, as usual.

TOO MANY SMALL HORSES.

Perhaps 1t would be DeCCef expressed anu
more to the point to say heavier horses are
the need of the times. Trotting horses,
PAGERS, runners, or any other gait, are all
right in their places, but the majority OF
horses are for labor and not for show; they
are on duty as producers, and are valuable
in proportion as they can do work; they
are the motive power on the farm, the high
way, and in the large towns and cities-as
indispensable as bread and butter. Prices
of large horses of all breeds, that are COM
pactly built and constructed on good rules
Of proportion, rule high and pay well the
handling. plugs" and scrub stock are
cheap. and will be even less in price than
heretofore, as all who employ teams are
fast learning that a heavy, strong team costs
no more to keep than a light, poor one, but
even less, and can do much more service. A
farmer should have, anyway, one heavy
strong team. He may own a small, light
span, but for blowing and general use, the
heavy team, that seldom is urged be-
yond a fast walk or the road, and will take
u fourteen or sixteen inch pillow and go all
day without evidence Of WEAKNESS, is the
one to depend on. The market is full of
semi-fast stock they do not command a sta
pie price, but depend wholly on circum-
stances for the margin of profit, if any that
they yield. P~ure-blooded Norman or ely
desdales may not be the best in their exclu-
sive nature, but by crossing them with good
native western stock there can be produced
a superior grade Of horses that will com
mand good prices and be in demand at all
times.
Farmers should not be Indifferent to this
fact, and when they propose to raise a colt,
select from that stock wich will insure a
heavy horse it may cost more in the begin.
ming but will net larger returns in the end,
Good horses, good cattle, good sheep and
hogs, are a good deal the cheapest.-Factor3
and Farm.

fact that ninety-six per cent. OF the cores
pondents report that cotton canno be rails
ed at a profit on bought supplies. Eighty
four per cent. say that cotton can be raised
at a profit at present prices on supplies
made at home. This is readily understood,
in view of the fact, that bought corn and
oats cost from two to three times as much
as homemade, that, as reported by cores
pondents, only forty-seven per cent. OF a
home supply of pork is raised in the State,
and that, while it costs an average of sixty
dollars per head to raise a mule or
horse on the farm, S1,000.O00 were expen-
ded last season in their purchase from
droves, at an average cost per head of more
than twice the cost of raising them. Not
w~ithstanding this annual outlay
in horses and mules, and the fact that it
cost only sixty dollars to raise them to three
year old, only six thoursand and thirty
three are reported annually foaled in the
State.

OATS VS.. CORN FOR LIVE STOCK.

Concerning this subject, DIR. James, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, of Georgia,
writes as follows: "Taking into consider
alton the cost Of production, the chemical
analysis and the comparative freedom from
stealage, oats are cheaper as stock food than
corn. One bnshel or fffty-six pounds of
corn costs fifty-eight cents, while one BUSH
el or thirty-two pounds of oats coststwenty-
nine cents, making a difference of thirteen
cents In the cost of one hundred pounds of
the two. Chemical analysis shows that oats
contain twelve per cent. of albuminoids, or
flesh and muscle producing principle, while
corr contains ten per cent. 1t will thus be
seen that for work animals oats are more
valuable than corn as food when equal
weights are used. Consider, now, that one
hundred pounds of oats cost thirteen cents
less than one hundred pounds of corn, and
the case stands decidedly in favor Of oats
Tor work stock.
In ~fat-producing properties, corn has sew
en- per cent, oat six per cent. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that when equal weights
only are compared. corn has the advantage
us a fat-producer. But taking the cost also
In consideration, there is no choice in this
respect. Another decided advantage of oats
for our climate, and especially for summer
use, is, that while they supply more muscle
they are less heating and more invsgorating
TO the work animal consuming them. Still
another advantage is freedom from rotten
grain and weeyil, which frequently cause
corn to injure stock. Still another item in
favor of oats is that freedmen do not eat
them, nor can they so rapidly sell them
when stolen. This corresponds with the
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1877-02-15
