Mr.. Stephens was Enthusiastically sad
at leaving home. The people we're
much sadder to see him leave. For
two hours before the car left it was
filed with whites and blacks bidding
him good bye. When he left the
house old Mr.. O'Neill, who has been
with him for thirty years and is now
ninety-two years old, said, as he
shook hands with him: MAKE a good

his room, An old negro Of seventy

 Special Agent Smith, of the Postofice de- partment, was in the city yesterday, and with Postmaster sperry visited the Westville post office A petition has been sent to Washing ton asking that the Westville office be made a station and that letter carrier be appoint ed for the same. Postmaster Finney, of Westville, has recently fitted up his office with private letter boxes in fine shape, and if the proposed arrangements are made it will be fine adjunct station to New Haven. It is thought that there is quite much need of 8 carrier in Westville as there is in that portion of the town known as the Annex. If the arrangement is carried into effect there are plenty of ''old veterans" in West. vile who would honor the position of car. Tier, and from their number the selection viii probably be made.
