10 the American:
see that the following protest has
been made in the House Of Representa-.
tivcs against the passage Of the bill to
settle the Indebtedness VI the State:
Because it will leave in the Trcdsu-
ry no money to sustain our charitable
Institutions, to provide for the admins
tration Of justice, or even to pay the
salaries Of Legislator. who may hereafter
assemble in this Capitol. The fight will
90 on and the battle will rage more
ferccly than ever. Jesus Christ was
crucifed in Jerusalem; Socrates and
Phocion were put to death in Athens,
and Iibcrus and Caius Gracious were
@, murdered in Rome. These great men
were remembered with gratitude be-
cause they we're the friends Of the PEG,
pie, and we are determined to follow
their example and emulate their dccd'
let the consequences be what they may
We cannot, therefore, behold the com
mission Of what we consider to be a stu
pcndoua crime against the public welfare
without entering our earnest and sol
cmn protest against it.

The ghost came up behind and commenced pulling MT. Tyrrelrs left sleeve. MT.

It was warm throat-not that of ''cold, damp, moist, unpleasant body" nor that of shadow or sprite, but the throat of sturdy six foot fellow who was masqueraded up in ghostly style. His face was masked, with goggle eyes. Upon his head was tall, cone shaped hat, and 8 phosphorescent light Illuminated the object The ghosts legs were to be seen, and had pants on. The ghost. after tussle, got the best of his antagonist, also powerful man, and landed him against a fence, and then with one bound cleared the fence and was of going on all fours like lightning.

The cars and boats in addition to their customary heavy freighting have brought loads of poud- try to the city,.

An Owl Story.

Sylvester c. DunhaIn, farmer living in Maromas society, has brood of six chickens which he keeps in a small breeding coop by themselves. They are large enough to roost on low perch which he fixed for them. The coop is left up on the front side, by being propped up by stick, so that the chicks can go out and in at pleasure. Monday morning Mir Durham went out to feed the chicks and found in the coot one of the largest hoot owls ever seen here The coet was down and it is supposed that in going into it the owl knocked out the prop and shut himself in
 Further investigation showed that as the owl was coming in four of the chicks made their escape and the other two were found under the owl who was breeding them. Mir Dun ham brought the owl to Middletown and sold him to Horace R. Butler Harttord Post
