John Yard, farmer living eight miles from Trenton, N. J., has been pasturing g number of COWS on a lot on his place. For some time he noticed that one Of the finest of them every morning was as dry as though she had been milked. He was puzzled at this, and as an experiment changed her to another pasture. She im- mediately began to give the usual amount of milk. After few days she was return ed to the old pasture with the other cows, and at once began to come in dry as be- fore. Finally MT. Yard had a boy watch the COW. The mystery was then quickly solved. The boy reported that early in the morning large snake, "the biggest he had ever seen," came and breakfasted from the cows udder, draining it complete ly. The COW did not seem to mind the operation. The facts are vouched for by responsible persons who have seen the snake taking it's matutinal meal.

 The Sunday Republican accuses the democrats of Stafford Springs of rowdyism during the republican fag-raising last week. The charge is baseless. The dem- ocrats behaved like gentlemen. The cheer ing under the Cleveland flag was the act of few boys, judging by the voices, and the writer who was in the republican pro- cession heard no tearing of bystanaers: So far as we saw-the cheering Of the dem ocratic> youth excepted-the democratic spectators were tolerant and orderly, as the republicans invariably are at demo- cratic demonstrations.

 The campaign was very auspiciously opened on Thursday evening last by the Blaine and Logan club with flag raising, and afterwards an address at Central Hall by Col. A. P. Shaw. The day was low cry and threatening, but as the procession moved down to the junction of Main and as-Main-sts. the moon unveiled in honor of the occasion, revealing great throng of people standing in the vicinity, from which many voices came to reinforce the hearty cheers given as the flag rose to its place bearing the names of the republican candidates. As the procession turned back to the hall the current instantly turn ed that way, and the room was quickly filled to overfowing, many being unable to get admission. Col. Shaws address got the closest attention. It was review of the republican policy of protection. it's advantages and of the deplorable results to business of free trade agitation. Col. Shaw is an excellent speaker, and in the few places where he speaks in Connecti- cut the republican party must get consid- erable benefit.
