 TRAPPER. the wild west boasts of it's Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack-marks- men and trappers-we in the west are not entirely eclipped. We refer, with becom- ing pride, to our adopted citizen, MT. R. Needham, who has, during the summer, succeeded in entrapping the almost incred- ible number of one hundred and ten wood chucks, captured upon the fields of H. R. Kibbe. As a price was placed upon the head of each animal caught, the sum thus realized may form nucleus for the estab- lishment of fur trading station here, the results of which may prove, in time, as sat- isfactory as the one opened years ago by the famous John Jacob Astor.
 FooT BA11.-The beautiful park in front of Eye ancient house" has, during much of the summer, been a scene of many exciting games of foot ball-a formidable rival, now, of our national game. A match game has been recently played between two teams, composed of the decorators, carpenters, landscape gardeners, and oth- CTS employed in the construction of the house of Hon. H. R. Kibbe, now in pro- cess of erection in our town. The game was very exciting, and the interest kept up until its conclusion. Some very excel lent plays were made by both sides. H. R. Kibbe, one of the half backs, received the ball from quarter back, broke through the rush line, and succeeded in making a "touch down." which was esteemed bril- liant play. Elijah Sackett of Springfield, one of the full backs, attracted much at tention by the dexterity displayed in stop ping one of the opposing half backs, and making him cry 'down" just before he reached the goal line.
 T. D. Johnson of Stafford Springs re- ceived great applause by making won- derful drop kick, landing the ball between the goal posts-a performance only excell- ed by Motfat of Princeton college. R. Needham of Stafford Springs, the we'll known trapper, was vociferously applauded when he scientifically "dribbled" the ball. H. R. Kibbe, while attempting to stop one of the half backs from making n safety touch down, received a severe sprain in the ankle. Elijah Sackett, who has been for long time a sufferer from rheuma- tism, claims that foot ball did not act as a panacea, but rather aggravated the con- plaint, still the wounded point to their Sears and bruises with as much pride as if obtained on the field of battle in defence off their country. Both sides were under gdod captains, as the referee was called upon only once or twice to tell them that they were off side." The game resulted in tie-score 10 to 10.
