WATERBURY. Methodist socable at ]. X.
Fullerton's Wednesday evening" was largely at
tended by our people, without regard to church
lines. 1t was a very enjoyable affair and quite
successful financially. Sidney Wolcott was,
until recently, the manager at the town poor
farm. Reports OF maltreatment OF the towns
poor having been made to the overseer at various
times, Mr.. Woleott on hint from that official,
resigned his position just prior to the March cleo
ton. Although evidence of the truthfulness OF
the charges has frequently been asked from the
paupers themselves, they have never complained
of the treatment they have received Mr. VOL
colt claims that the stories OF i'll treatment are
libelous and charges +. c. Marshall with their
authorship. He now calls upon the latter gentle
man to rise and explain, or take the legal conse-
quences in case he fails to give the satisfaction
demanded. W. p Dillingham;, Esq, is Mr. VOL
colts legal representative in the matter, IA
four-y ear-od son OF Francis Collins, on the Dux-
bury side, backed into pail OF hot water, recev-
ing severe scald. II. B, Chittenden, former
| teacher of our high school, has sued school dis
trict No. /, which embraces the village, for breach
of contract, claiming $500 damages. Mr.. Chitten-
den was engaged in the fall OF 1873. At that
time the school committee was composed Of three
members the terms of two expiring in the spring
of 1879, the third holding over till the spring Of
| 1880. Mr.. Chittenden claims that his contract
| with this committee was to teach three terms Of
school o1tweve weeks each, divided into fall win
ter and spring. Under this alleged contract he
taught the fall and winter terms. Before the
| spring term commenced, the annual school meet
| ing for 1879 was held, and the two vacancies in
the committee were filled The third committee
man thereupon resigned, and thus an entirely
new committee was elected. The meeting also
voted to have thirty weeks school for the ensuing
year, instead OF thirty-six as formerly. To avoid
trouble, the new committee proifered the spring
| term Of ten weeks to Mr., Chittenden at $50 per
week, which he declined, claiming $40 for the
term, however much the committee might shorten
| its duration. Further offers to compromise were
unsuccessful and the committee finally hired
another teacher Mr., Chittenden seems to base
his claim on the alleged assurance Of the third
member OF the committee, that he should have
the school for thirty-six weeks at $50 per week
in which he was not joined by his two colleagues
| whose term Of Office would expire before such q
contract could be completed
