 We hear much complaint of the drunken ness in this village on Sundays. It IS gen. erally believed that people come in from out side, from Thomaston aud Torrington and other places, to get liquor which they could not get at home. Many go down to the lake, also, where they can mix their town whiskey with lager, and then come back and prome- made the streets of the village, singing and haloing and making themselves generally disagreeable. This nuisance is on the in- crease and will continue to increase so long as the free sale of liquor on Sunday is allowed

 The Winsted Herald has most wonder ful story from a Litchfeld contributor, abou a girl of sixteen whose eyes were so affected by exposure to the glare of the sun, one day last winter, that she was threatened with blind ness, and was confined to dark room for six months. Then the miracle comes in. 4 portion of each eye ran out. What was lief of her right eye became . sort of telescope. the rest of her left eye, microscope eacl of very high plaguifying, pewer.s Used to gether, the microscopic power of the one an, the telescopic power of the other combine t produce the effect of two natural eyes. Shut ting her left eye she can see from the villag to the lake, and can tell three miles ava, whether boy in boat pullsup bull-head o pumpkin-seed. Shutting her right eye needles seem like crow bats gnats, like can els. Opening both. things assume their natu ral aspect. E9sfafa U<A sIstla.s .ta .3g t4
