noyance WAS experienced by the noise at the
entrance to the hall. 1t is to be hoped that
those doors can be 80 muff1ed as to open and
close noiseessy, and that the following caution
on the programme will be carefully observed:
" Late arrivals cause much annoyance disturb
ing and marriDg the entertainment; IL Is due
to those who attend in proper season that the

tween the numbers only"

residence of his son, c. F. Clough, Esq.,, Wednes-

| forty-five years had owned and lived upon a
| farm on the old stage road, a short distance
above the Center. He married Carissa Morse,
a daughter OF William Morse, who moved from
Greenfield, Mass, and settled on Barnes hill, in
| the northern part of Waterbury, when this
town was a wilderness. Mrs. Clough died
September 20, 1876, at the age Of eighty-four.
| They had four children-Storrs s the eldest,
who died in April, 1882, at ,xbury Ann jean

Columbus F. Of Waterbury and Oscar c. of

citizen. For twelve consecutive years he was
seectman and held in turn all the town
offices. For three years he represented the
town in the legislature He WAS all his life an
active man. having vigorous health, and had
retained his physical and mental powers in q

| The uncertainties of arbitration have been
| illustrated In two cases in this village during
the past season. In the matter between the
village and Davis & Crossett, relating to dam
ages for strip of land about rod front and
some eight or ten rods deep, there was differ
ence Of opinion between the village officials
ranging from zero to $780, The other parties
| indicated their willingness to take 5000 Being
unable to focus their widely -diverging apprsis.
ais, all parties agreed to refer the matter to a
single individual and to be bound by his award.
The referee, having duly weighed the matter,
decided that the village should pay $415 and
the scales OF justice would then bear an even
beam. Subsequently the village took from
| Thaddeus Crossett two rods front with a depth
two or three times greater than in the above
| case. In connection with six adjoining rods
this land made two good building lots. An
adjacent lot of similar quality and depth sold
this summer for 1928 front rod. The village
awarded Mr.. Crossett 5000 damages for the
two rods 1t had taken. Mr.. Crossett sued fol
n commission Three outside persons, pre-
sumably impartial, say that the village shall
pay Mr.. Crossett only 1888, and that he shall
pay one-half the commissioner expenses
amounting to about SIT. Each party is also
directed to pay his own lawyers and other ex
penses. Mr. Crossett feels that scant Justice
has been done him. and he is not entirely slon,
in this view Of the matter.

Mr. Kennedy comedies that he knows person
