A correspondent of New Haven paper
writes: The biggest agricultural story of
Connecticut thus far this year comes from
Waterbury. Charles Fogg, merchant lives
on his father-in-law's farm this summer
couple of miles out. There is 20 acre
cornfield on the place, which has been fairly
covered by hungry crows for some weeks
The field is so large that by the time a gun
ner scares the birds off one end the other is
well covered.
Mr. Fogg's father-in-law had about given
up the crop, when the hired boy came to the
rescue. He had read that crows or any
bird, could be Supplied by the use of alcohol.
He had no alcohol, but he stepped peck Of
corn in a gallon of the hardest cider in the
cellar. To this he added two-ounce bottle
OF laudanum, and then he scattered the corn
in the cornneld.
The crows held aloof from the free lunch
for several days, and the boy forgot all about
it. But yesterday morning as Mr.. Fogg
was driving to town he noticed crowd Of
crows over the field, trying to fly and keep
ing up deafening cawing. He called the
help, and they rushed into the field and cap
tured and killed 275 crows, which were lying
on the ground help,essly drunk. The others
managed to fly away

''The worst time was just before they
broke in, Gerry. i thought the earth must
fall again, or something happen to prevent
them reaching me-" confided Bob to her
when she visited him next day in his room
The whole matter was to master Bob one for
pure congratulation, and he spent his time
in rehearsing graphic account of the ad-
venture for the benefit of his DANES house
But that fellowLosford is no end of trump.
He's been up to say goodbye, and l told
him what an ass I'd made myself about him.
That's comfort. heard his voice first of
all, do you know, and Mrs. Goodwin says
they wouldn't have got me out if it wasn't

Thd likligood of this alternative appeared
to give him unmixed satisfaction.
II don't think they would,'' murmured
Gertrude, eagerly presenting him with a
large bunch of grapes from a side-table,
''1'll get you some more, Bob.'
''You bet your boots they wouldn't, It's
a pity he can't climb. Fancy fellow like
that with what the doctor calls s'constitution-

And Bob fellinto brown study, which
passed into a doze; and thus refreshed he
was enabled to chatter without ceasing all
dinner time.
Gertrude stole out of the room, and rum

had mislaid favorise stick

no answer
Rather, should not have hurt me- he
replied gravely; ''yet it did cruelty, Miss
Goodwin. But for the chance occurrence of
last night you would be thinking SO still. 1t

man exhibited Professor Adams His

Greece, and pointing out the various

Professor Curme gave an admirably
appropriate and lucid map exercise upon
the various physical causes combining
TO develop the Greeks as a great, grand
people, impressing themselves upon all
subsequent civilization. Their country,
though but $50 miles in width and $50
IN length, projected into the Medlterra-
to catch all passers-by. They were re-
ceptiye-ever ready TO hear any new
thing from any source. Their climate
was saIubrious, vet varied and exhiler
ating by its mountain heights and its
proximity to the sea. Their land was
indented and easily approached from
the sea on all sides. The lecture was
thoroughly systematic, vet So easily ex-
pressed as TO be very entertaining.
A half hour was spent IN discussing
"Why We speak English"
DIR. Sundberg gave some valuable
points on comparative phllology.
The society meets on tbs third Tues
day evening for its first lesson. Pro

savage editorial article upon John Sher-
mans bloody shirt resolutions by the an
nounccment, in effect, that though the
Democrats should elect their President

of the United States would not submit to
his Inauguration. Our esteemed contem-

party, which so greatly outnumbers its
opponents, might have something TO say
as to whether or no Democratic Presi-

Agriculture and Mining.

These industries have produced the
past year not less than $50, 000, 900. All
this wealth has been taken directly or
indirectly from the ground. We have
first the gold product, which amounts to
about SIS, 100000. Then we have the
annual crops-the cereals, sheep and
cattle husbandry, dairying, fruit and
wine, the aggregate product of the latter
industries viii notfall short OF Sl30, 900, :.
600. This is not all the industrial gain
by any means. To this must be added
the earnings of the manufacturers and
mechanics and of the thousand and one
minor sources of wealth. These hun.
dred and thirty millions are not all
profit, but ii a careful account were
