The Bridgeport Eagle intimates that Coup, the circus manager, is liar, who doesn't show one;half of what he advertses. Of course nobody will credit Cheney's prepos. terous aggregation of ridiculous accusations.
 The Winsted correspondent of the Hart Times, says: "The locking up of Mrs Cowdrey's millinery store withdraws some twenty-five hats from circulation, belonging to ladies in town, and there is general con- sternation in Israel as the Sabbath draws nigh"
 Another murder is added to the list that keeps the Gland of steady habits" before the world in an unenviable light. Last Sunday evening Thomas Murphy of Stamford struck Edward Marshall on the head with stone, rnhioting injuries from which he died in l5 minutes. The only provocation was Mar. shall's refusal to drink with Murphy. The murderer immediately escaped ona south telegraphed, and he was arrested on alighting from the cars in the Grand Central depot. N. Ulrich of the Young America clothing house in Winsted announces this week that he is going to change his business, and offers
 to close out his entire stock of spring and
 summer clothing, etc. This. is perhaps the
 best opportunity ever offered, to secure bar
 gains at nominal figures, and there can be no
 doubt that it will be eagerly taken advantage of, as Mir. Ulrich's reputation for stating | things just as they are, is we'll known and
 has made for him host of friends and pat rons.
 We understand that the liquor dealers are
 getting so desperate for signers to their ap- plIcatons that they are already offering from s25 to $35 for names, while those who have
 names to sell demand $50, and some say they
 will noe sell their names till the prices reach $100.. The fact that all these names have to
 be published in the newspapers deters many from signing at any price. 4 few of the , liquor men have been wide awake enough to secure all the names they require, and they can afford to sit back and laugh at their less fortunate brethren. We have heard of sev.
 eral who have completed their lists already. although they will not be needed until next October Bridgeport 8tanaard.
 Tuesday, business Oh Bank street was dull {; so the boys got together and ohipped in enough to pay for the cutting of the hair of the one whose head needed clipping the most. As it happened youth to fortune and to tame unknown who had arrived on the stage that morning, stood with the group and it was lated that he should be the chosen one, although he did not chip in. His hair of a delicate sand color, hung down to his shoul. ders giving him very Buffalo Bill appear. ance A little persuasion induced him to consent to. the sacrifice of his locks and he
 was escorted over to Planz's barber shop
 where, under Charlle's skillful manipulation, the clipping machine cut of every bit of hair on the young mans head which looked as naked as could be. "By goshl he exclaimed
 as he caught a glimpse of the naked poll in
 the glass, "you can't cut my hair agin, you don't know how to cut hair" The trans.
 formation from hair foot long to that less | than a sixteenth of an inch in length was l certainly an abrupt one. As the young mans
 hat would not fit. he was takkn over to Leon- ards store and presented by Leonard with a nice, hobby, brand-new secondhand hat.
 Pixley tried to get the victim to return for
 the hair saying that Planz would sell it for $l.75, <. but the unknown young man was
 afraid the clipping maohne would get around
 the neck if he went near there again, and he
 started of. The last heard from him he was inquiring how long it would take it to grow out again.-NeW lfi!ford Gazette.
