Court NOtes.


 The Superior Court, civil side, Judge Hitchcock, and the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Torrance, will both resume their ses- sions this morning.
 State Attorney Doolittle stated yesterday that he had notified Messrs Blydenburgh and Fox that he should plead an abatement to the writ of error in the Chip Smith case on the ground that the attorneys have joined errors of law with errors in fact, and that the court of errors has no jurisdiction over questions of fact, and that if they choose to amend their writ and strike out the alleged errors in fact he should consent kto the amendment and permit the questions of law to be tried by the Supfeme Court.
 New Drawing Room Cars.
 The two drawing room cars which are being built for the Housatonic railroad by the Wilson Manufacturing company at Bright wood Springfield. Mass.) will be finished early in June, and while some of the details of the interior construction are not fully worked out, are so far along in the works as to give a pretty correct idea of what they will be. They are each 50 feet long, lover the end sills," and as wide and high as they can be and pass over the road with safety. The latter will be furnished with all the mod ern requirements, marble wash stand, pump, towel rack, mirror, the only one in the car, nickel plated ice tank, etc. There will be swinging ventilators at the ends, and deep sashes in the doors, and Creamers patent ex-. haust ventilators will be placed in the eleva- ton of the roof The cars will be handsome ly carpeted throughout and will be fitted up with nickel-plated lamps and trimmings. Nothing tending to enhance the comfort or convenience of the patrons of the Housatonic road would appear to be left out of these new cars and they cannot but prove de- lightful setting in which the lovely scenery of the Housatonic valley will be framed for the summer travellers who pass up and down the road.

A Russian Landscape.


dead fiat, hardly broken at distant inter-
walls by wave of the ground, by some long low
ridge, or small scrubby knoll; interminable,
monotonous woodland; not primaval forest, but
mere young birch and fir, stunted and ragged,
with here and there bit of rough clearing, a
patch of coarse pasture. Anon. great rye fields,
stretching beyond mans ken. checkered here
and there by more or less abortive attempts at
wheat, barley or potato crops; the ground, as a
rule without hedge fence or wall-nobody's or
everybody's ground-open to the inroad of
cattle; sandy, salty, to all appearance ire
clamabe soil; a backward. slovenly cultivation;
the cattle neither weil-bred nor well-fed; every
where sense of loneliness; only at vast dis
tances log houses and barns. mostly untenant-
ed; horses. cows, sheep, turkeys and geese in
focks, unattended; and further off struggling
towns and villages, with high-domed churches
and tall factory chimneys: and near the stations
great piles Of wood, solidly ranged in rows of
logs of different size and various colors. high
as houses, and not without some architectural
pretensions and some artistic attempt at quaint,
tasteful patterns.

self and family Of little ones compelled
to pass the night without the protec-
ton of a man in the house, her hus-
band being in the North. Being a
good shot, she was not alarmed, how
ever, but put her revolver handy when
she retired at night. About midnight
she heard noise as if some one was
trying to get into the house. She went
softly on to the gallery. revolver in
hand, and sure enough there was
a man down at the window, nry-
ing open the shutter with a. long
knife. After watching him for mo-
ment, undecided what to do, knowing
that if she chose she could kill him,
she leaned over the railing and called
out, Shall | shoot you, sir?" The
astounding question caused the man to
stop work. He turned and looked up
at her, but N ade no pretense to run.
She then fred at him, and he retreat
ed to the fence, where he insolently
regarded her in the moonlight The
brave little woman, not a whit dis
couraged, then determined to show
him that she could scare him if she
pleased, so, taking good aim, she put a
tiny bullet through the rim of his hat.
In less time than can be told the
would-be burglar was over the fence
and out of sight.
