 Charles Cogswell, a well known and sub- stantial citizen of this place, who had been ailng some time, passed to that invisible country from which no traveller rcturns last week Wednesday at the ripe old age of S5 years. He was eighty-five last Fourth of Ju- ly and always took pride in stating that he was born on Independence Day.

 There was most enjoyable affair at the Loomarwick House, near the lake. last Friday night. Members of the string band were pres ent and furnished the music for the dancers, and the Warren cornet band who had been serenading Dea. Hopkins, came around and gave Frank some excellent music. We hope the New Preston band will not feel bad if we remark that the Warren band can beat them all to pieces.

 Your devil compelled us to say last week that the escaped Royal fox devcured an old hen for ''L. Schonigan" Now we don't SUD- pose the fox cared particularly whose hen he captured so long as he secured a geod meal but we don't like to have the good and indus trious people of this village worrying them selves into brain fever wondering who IL Schonigan" can be, and if he has an unregister ed dog, or has paid his taxes; rich or poor Gentle or Jew; desirable acquisition to secie ty or not &c., and so on. So, we here dis tinctly state that not knowing any one names ''L. Schonigan," we are unprepared to sa whether he's democrat, republican, a green packer, or communist: but it was l.. .Schmei gers old hen that met death at the claws c the Royal fox.
