A Clever FOrrerv.

few weeks ago MT. Louis c. Pfaff cashed check for $23, payable to G. w. H. Hughes and signed apparently by 0. F. Moeller, the Grown street liquor dealer. It was cashed by Pfaf at the request of a young man who came into the store dressed like butcher boy, wearing an apron and in his shirt sleeves. MT. Pfaff thought no more about the matter until MT. Moeller went to the New Haven bank few days ago and the check was handed to him, when he at once saw that his name had been forged. The cheek had been placed in one of the banks by MT. Pfaff and the New Haven bank had paid over the money and they will have to bear the loss Neither MT. MoelIer or MT. Pfaff have any idea who the forger was

 If all the expressions of delight of the lit tie ones at viewing the candies and confections purchased at Ryder's, 79s Chapel street, and placed in their stockings could be vooifer- ated in one simultaneous shout. the sound would shake this beautiful city of Films like an earthquake, and the reverberations thereof would even reach Barkhamstead, and cause the lone fisherman there to believe that the French were attacking the town. Yesterday Ryder's store was literally packed with GUS toners and up to midnight the crowd con- hnued to finger there. To-day doubtless there will be another rush, for Ryder's can- dies are tempting. Those choice mixed can- dies, conversation lozenges and chocolate creams at 15 cents a pound or pounds for sixty cents, also French glace fruits, sixty five cents pound, and every variety of con fections will be eagerly sought for to-day.

A New York exchange says of them: Messrs. J. c. Stewart and Wm. Murray are the ''Two Johns" of the comedy company of that name. They appeared last evening at the Mount Morris theatre, and drew large house. The play is a comedy of merit and of many comical situations. The brace of comedians made the most of their opportuni- ties and kept the house in roars. The vocal ists of the company are the best that have appeared here in some time, and they added not inconsiderably. to the enjoyment of the nights entertainment
