At meeting of the legislative special committee on the Buckingham statue held on Tuesday afternoon there were present General Dickinson, Colonel Bissell, Cap tain Berry, Representative Hubbard, Speak CT Harrison and others. The contract was read, showing an agreement with Ohn l.. Warner for bronze sitting figure, heroic size. The appropriation by the legislature was $16,2OO. It will be placed in the bat tle-fag hall in the capitol. The report of the commissioners that the statue will be ready in March was accepted.
 Colonel Allen of Milford, representing the army and navy club, favored elaborate ceremonies to be participated in by the veteran soldiers aud sailors of the state, and the Hartford Veterans Association and other similar organizations There should be provided dinner for the veterans and music. The expense need not exceed that of Battle Flag Day, about $7,500. The speaker favored having the affair about the middle of June, taking some date which will not interfere with attendance on the annual gathering of the army of the Potomac ill Brooklyn, June 11th and 18th.
 Colonel Bissell of Hartford suggested that the veterans should have charge of u military display, and should set apart to them portion of the funds. There should be no collation. served as on Battle Flag Day-better give each visiting veter- an half d. dllar or dollar to buy his own rations for the day. Colonel Bissell be. lieves that from 5000 to 1000 veterans could be got in line that day. The total military expense could be brought within $5,OOO.
 Captain Berry, representing the G. A. R., believed the day can be made great occasion in Hartford, even if not quite equal to Battle Flag day.
 Captain Rathbun of the Hartford Veter- an city guard, said its members were ready to give every possible aid. The best time would be about the middle of June any day in the week excepting Saturday, Sun day or Monday. It had been proposed to unite this affair with Hartfords centennial celebration, May 18th, but the latter has probably been abandoned.

 Peter Becker, German residing with his wife-both feeble infrm old people on the Burbank road, some two miles from the Street, met with serious accident on Friday afternoon last. They went to the barn to water their two COWS, and on re- turning to the house he fell down and was unable to get up. His wife being too fee ble to lift him, he told her to go to the house and get rope and tie around him and drag him. This she did as far as the doorstep, when she was unable to get him any further, and could not arouse neigh bor who lived nearest. There on the steps the poor man lay, the bitter blasts of Fri day nights blizzard chilling his blood; ii could not have been long before the numb ness and lethargy induced by the cold re ieved him of his sutferings. He lay there all night, until Saturday afternoon, before any help appeared, when he was taken ip- to the house. It is said he was out about B hours. It does seem as though it was not right for such old people to live by themselves, especially when so far from neighbors.
 The fair and entertainment of the M. E. church at the town hall was emlnently successful, and the pecuniary results are quite satisfa otory.

They told us that it was well rendered. The generous offrr of Mr. Aaron Wolf of Rockville to bring over free H. l.

The supper table was liberally supplied and we'll patronized, and the numerous articles contributt to the fair were mostly useful and helped bring up the net receipts to about $1OO, it IS estimated,

A very mean, fashionably attired young man did very contemptible thing in the station in New London. Calling news boy, he took paper, handed him dollar, and cried "Come, hurry up, the ears will start in half minute.'' The little fel- low counted out 89 cents into the extend ed hand of the young man, and second later off went the train. The dollar proved to be counterfeit of the plainest kind. Good-natured employees at the station con- bined and made good the small hoy's loss. Who will make good the self-respeot of the young man has not yet been discovered.
