 Two weeks ago, Mir. Albert Burr, Bris- tol butcher, while driving through this place with heavy load of meat, was thrown from his seat by the wheels of his wagon settlino into frost hole, and the wheels passed over his legs Owing to the softness of the ground no bones were crushed, but the fragments were broken. Being unable to make any one hear his cries, he lay for some time almost uncon. scious. He finally succeeded in crawling up on his wagon, he scarcely knows how, and started for home. The Dr. says that his in. jury is more serious than if his leg had been broken. LITTLE CONNIE.

PEN DRAGON.

Last Friday night we had shooting affair. It seems that two choppers Pat Lockwood and Peet Horn, after filling themselves pretty full of ''tangle grass" at Millers, started up the railroad track. They stopped at Henry Roots, who lives about mile from West Cornwall and asked for cider. Getting none there, they went into the other part of the house, occu- pied by Arthur Gibbs who refused to give them cider They were very angry at this and after striking and kicking him several times, they went back to Roots part of the house. He turned them out of doors, and just as the door closed lockwood fired a re- volver, the ball lodging in the door. He then fired second time, the ball passing through the window over the left shoulder of Root through his vest, and lodging in the wall with out weunding him. He says 'it just burnt little". Horn and Lockwood were arrested at once, and, on Saturday, were tried before T. s: Gold Esq. who bound them over to Litchfield where they were carried the same day by Sheriff Cochrane J.

showed conclusively that the chief enemy of the church is the dram shop. The Christian church is the strongest, largest, most earnest and most permanent organization known to modern civilization inthe interest of morality the liquor business is an even stron- ger, more wealthy and more earnest combl- nation in the interest Of immortality. The church cannot afford to be neutral in such g contest. It must be the determined and effec- tive enemy of intemperance, or it must be held captive by it. Neutrality is paralysis.

The Murder of Mrs. Hull.

The New York Herald has been for
some time engaged in exposing the bru-
tally and incompetence of the police
force OF that city. Leaving out of the
question the many sins Of omission and
commission the Herald has brought up
against the New York police, the recent
murder Of Mrs DR.. Hull alone iustifes
all that has been said of the laundering,
and worse, OF the "buc- coated guardians
Of the peace" Every theory they had
formed with regard to the Hull murder
has proved to be unfounded, and but for
keen Witted Boston reporter they would
no doubt have bounded an innocent man,
the husband Of the murdered woman, to
bis death, If not to the gal0WS The
time OF the murder was ascertained by
friend of the family making enquiries,
which the police failed to do, Of neighbors
who had heard the screams of the victim.
y portion of Mrs. Hul's iewelry was in a
New York pawn shop, and other costly
ornaments were III the possession Of a
grl to whom Cox, the murderer, had given
them, and who wore them publicly. But
Tor the murdtrer'S confession the New
York police might even now be ignorant
Of these facts They were too busly en-
gagged in lnyenting theories and weaving

sending out a list Of the jeWery they
Numbered by emitting the watch, which
bore Mrs. IIulls name, nor did they state
whether the iewelry HAD been lost or
stolen or to whom it belonged. The news
papers supplied the Information which lcl
to the detection OF the murderer, and It
| newspaper man discovered him and Sc
cured his arrest The police decided at
the outset that the murderer was 4 med

As a locomotive was rapidly passing
through Passaic, \. j., the other day, the
engineer saw seven years old girl sud
denly rush upon the track directly in
front of him. The engine was reversed
and the brakes applied, but the train
could not be stopped at once, and the
girls death seemed imminent: but just
as escape seemed impossible, she lifted a
baby from between the ties, where it had
heretofore been invisible to the men on
the locomotive, threw it upon the soft
ground outside the track, and bounded
after it, the heavy machine grazing her
dress as she leaped away. The young
heroine refused to give her name or resi-
dence.
