Police Notes,

| Yesterday morning at about ten o'clock, Detective Brewer arrested on Howard avenue 8 woman and two men, evidently swindlers, who have been operating in the outskirts of the city. At the police station they gave the names of John Smith, his sister, Ann Smith, and James F. Williams They attempted to sw1ndle John H. Dillon, grocer at 333 Con- gress avenue, and at other places. After purchasing small articles and paying for them, they would become dissatisfied and demand their money back and without thinking the grocer would return the dollar they had offered in payment for fifteen cent article. forgetting to demand the S5 cents change. Thisis on old game.
 Lewis Lucy, of 155 Congress avenue, had a can of ice cream stolen from his wagon, corner of Greene and Hamilton streets, last evening while he went into house to deliv- CT some of his cream.
 Timothy O'Connor was found in Thomas Carr's store, corner of Congress avenue and Daggett street, last night about 12 o'clock. He is about IT years of age. Mir. Carr heard noise in his store, and, going down stairs, found the young man under the counter in his stocking feet. He says he came to this city from New York last night, on the boat. He is apparently bright lad. In reply to Lieutenant Sheridan he said his fathers name was Patrick O'Connor, and that he lived in South Boston. He entered the store over the transom window, and the question will probably be raised whether, the transom being open, he actually committed a burglary.

Connecticut Peachss.

MT. Varnum Simmons, of Killingly, has been bringing into market his crop of native peaches. From 700 peach trees he expects to take over 200 bushels. The entire crop has been engaged by one man. Lovers of peaches hail with delight the prospect that New England peaches are once more to be raised and sold in the markets. The peaches of years ago grown in New England have never been exceIled, if equaled. Salmon and peaches of native growth disappeared from the markets about the same time. There were more peaches raised in the State last year than the year before, and there will probably be more this year than the two years previous put together. Since the peach tree has begun again to bear in New Eng land, especially in this State, many farmers have turned their attention to the growing of the fruit, and some fine peach orchards are now to be seen. aa
 Connecticut peaches of excellent quality are coming into the Hartford market Mr. B. P. Thrasher, of Somers, who has an or- chard of fifty trees, has been picking ripe peaches for two weeks past.
 Last year very fine peaches were raised in Hamden, In this county.

The Very Latest Test by pr. Love.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The contract for supplying the United States government with 75,0o0 pounds of Baking Powder during the ensuing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. E. G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recommended by him for. it's excellence, and because it contained Mgher percentage of gas (which means that it will make lighter. bread and biscuitl than either the ..Royas'' or any of the other cream-tartar baking pow ders which he examined. The samples ana- lyzed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government commissioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to an inpartia1 test, its superiority is acknowl- edged, and the popular verdict so emphaii- cally expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

 Fishing steamer Josephine B., of New York, commanded by MT. Edgar Willis, of Block Island, was at Block Island Sunday morning. Captain Willis reports that in coming down the Sound he saw peculiar object at distance. As usual at sea, specu- lation was rife among his men. On approach ing nearer, glass showed that the object was an overturned boat, to which four men were clinging. As quickly as possible they were taken from their uncomfortable posi- ton. They were almost tsxhausted, the waves having buffeted their boat most se- verely, making it a matter of considerable difficulty for them to hold on when first cap-s sized, and as they grew weaker, they expect cd each new wave would sweep them into Q watery grave. They could not have held ont half an hour longer. Captain Willis carried them back to this port and took the boat to Block Island.
