ssThe Last Sunner.n

A pure line steel engraving from Leonardo da Vinei's world-renowned painting of the Last Supper is now on exhibition and for sale at Cutters art store. It is six inches in length, and perfect in every respect. It was engraved at a great cost by Charles H. Smith, who has no superior in such work. AS in dicative of MT. Smith's..skill it may be noted that he counterfeited some government bonds so perfectly that the counterfeits could only be detected by the corresponding numbers He was engaged with Broadway and Doyle, and when they were arrested turned States evidence and saved himself from prison. The engraving is owned and published by MT. D. F. Brown of Brooklyn, who will be located at Cutters for short time and will furnish copies of it. An inspection of it will please all lovers of art, and the price of the engraving is very reasonable.

If MT. Seymour, of the South Norwalk nursery, takes the banner on raspberries, Editor Lyon of the Republican beats the rec ord on pears. During recent call at the residence of Mir.

There are several varit &ies of pears, including some of the large Ri nds such as gave him the premium at the two last annual fairs of the County society, and C1app's Favorite, Bartlett, Seckel and sevea al early varieties.

 Miss Nettie Johnson denies that she has been guilty of any conduct which would jus tify Captain Hunter in taking the action he did in suspending her from the Salvation Army. She says the charges against her cannot be proven. They grew out of mali cious talk, chiefly made by man named White, who has given the Army money and collected for them. In explanation of the affair with Sergeant Allen, Miss Johnson says that she, on one night some weeks ago, when she was not expected at home. re- turned about 10 o'clock and found that her mother had locked the door. She went down to see her friend Mrs. Allen. the mother of the sergeant, and Mrs. Allen made her stay there all night, the sergeant volunteering to go up to the barracks and sleep with the lieutenant. This arrange ment was agreed upon and carried out. These events were commented upon and ex- aggerated. Mir. White will be sued.
 Miss Gordon, the other woman whom Captain Hunter suspended, says she was advised not to participate in the meetings by Captain Hunter because the character of the Army was to be investigated She de- fends Miss Johnson and backs up her story Both women still attend the meetings
