The hotel has been conducted mainly by
Mr.. futile since it was opened, about two
years ago. 1t has been much altered and
improved and was popular with travelling
men and theatrical companies. The house
has been doing good business. Its billiard
room and bar were much patronized by stu
dents.
The hotel property is owned by DR.. F. II.
Whittemore and some of his relatives. It
will accommodate about seventy guests. Mr..
futile, before he came to New Haven, two
or three years ago, carried on hotel in Nau-
gatuck, and previous to that one in Armenia,
N. Y. Mr.. Post came here from Walling-
ford. He has lately been out West selling
a lubricating oil which he manufactures.
Mr.. Tuttle was heard of in Springfield yes
terday and efforts were started to find him.
Those who know him well say that he has
shown signs of mental arrangement and they
have no doubt that he is wandering about in
that condition. If he were here he could
settle up all claims in a short time, they aver.
Mr. Post will be in town soon. He is a
wealthy manufacturer.
-.-s GOOD Cattle.
The Milford correspondent of the Manga
tuck Sentinel says: The enormous prices that
have been received here for Jersey cattle
this season have led to many inquiries as to
how it should be that the Milford men were
SO fortunate. Like other movements that
have kept progress with the age there had to
be pioneers, as it We're, who could see the adj
vantages of improving the breed of cattle and
who had the courage to act on that impulse
and then wait patiently for the results. The
st. Heller family of Jerseys which have
brought such high prices was first imported
and bred by Mr.. O. S. Hubbell, of Rivercliff
farm, on the bank of the Housatonic river in
this place By studying carefully the excel
lent points in this breed of cattle, and by ju-
dicious management he was able
to bring before the public animals
of unusual merit, those that would
produce three pounds of butter per
day at their best; those that would not come
up to his standard were rejected Having an
ample fortune to live on, this commendable
work was not done for the sake OF the dollars
and cents that could be derived from it but
that others might be benefited thereby, hence
many of his cattle were given away to different
Individuals here, and those who wish had /
them registered, and kept the stock in its
purity, and have been reaping harvest in
deed. Mr.. Nathan G. Pond has done also
very efficient work in the same direction by
urging the farmers here to avail themselves of
great opportunities and breed these register
ed cattle SO that it would make an object for
buyers to come here Mr. Ponds own herd
of Jerseys, and in years previous his magnif-
cent herd of Short Horns, was the means of
improving the breed of cattle in this place.
1t is great advantage to have men, like
those above mentioned, in a community who
have the time, inclination and the capital to |
make such improvements as the people there
by always share in its benefits
Mr.. William Jepson is going to take short
vacation in Troy, N. Y.
Mrs. Arthur Mix is going on visit to her
sister, Mrs. Charles Davis, in Rochester, N.
Y, who left here about one year ago.
