Before the Lucifer Matches-A Notable
 Celestial Phenomenon Recalled
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 An article copied from the Waterbury American respecting the habits of man who used to carry coals of fire from house to house reminded me of the manner of keeping fire before matches were invented. A bed of coals were covered over with ashes upon the hearth and sometimes they would go out and then it became necessary to resort to the peighbors to borrow fire. I am writing of country life. One morning in the year, think, of '32, I was awakened just before dawn by my mother exclaiming, ''Oh, the world has come to an end; the stars are fall ing" I immediately covered my head with the bedclothes after getting one glimpse of the r-to-be- forgotten failing stars" After the panic that ensued in our orderly household had subsided it was discovered that our fire had gone out and a small girl, was despatched on- that frosty November morning to borrow fire of 8 neighbor who lived quarter of mile distant and tried in my child way to inform them of what had happened.

Regarding the use of fruit is undoubtedly the correct one. Our ancestors gorged them selves with apples, walnuts and cider in the evening, and those of them who did not die of dyspepsia lived with it. They had not learned that what was gold in the morning and silver at noon was lead at night.

It is probable that the new automatic draw signals in Bridgeport, Westport and Norwalk will be in working order at about the same time, and that very soon. Then certain trains will make the trip between New York and New Haven without single stop, saving, according to estimate, at least twenty minutes and bringing the possible daily time betveen the two cities down to near one and a half hours.

A Slight Increase lin Dwellings Dur1n.
 the Past Year.
 In Whitneyville during the past year several new houses have been built The growth of this suburb of New Haven in the last twenty five years has been slight and the old landmarks are unchanged except that they are older, and the traveller emerg- ing from the busy city soon finds himself in the serene rural quiet that Whitneyvilie possessed twenty-five years ago. The new houses erected in the past year are the fol- lowing: One by Truman Moulton, son of Horace Mouiton. This is above the Whit neville church, this side of the Sherman place. MT. John Smith, an old Whit neville resident who lives Ion the hill' near the main road and just this side of Rev. MT Putnam's grounds, has erected a house on the road west from the main Centerville road and about one hundred rods from the Whitneyville church. Linus Kirk has built house on the main road near the "old red house," not far from the Rev. MT. Putnam's Also the coachnan for MT. Crane of Whitney avenue has built new house a few rods above the ice houses, next to one already owned by him. These new places in Whitneyviile add little to Hamden's grand list.

Court Notes.

The Un1ted SUdteS court at dartIoFu yes terday was occupied with the suit of the United States vs. the Diamond Match compa- ny. The company had given bond to se- cure the government against loss in keeping three months supply of stamps on hand. The tax being taken of the sale of matches declined in expectation of lower prices and 43, GOO, ,O0O of these stamps were left unused. They were destroyed by the government, which then claimed that the cost of printing and paper should be paid by the company. The defense set out to show that if the stamps had been definitely ordered and then returned there would have been such charge and that there should on the same principle be none in the present circum- stances.
 Referring to the suit brought against him for libel by Louis c. Richards, Judge Dem ing yesterday said: "The suit is not worth the paper it is written on, and of course gives me no concern except the publicity of the affair, which is distasteful. He has failed to show any cause for action"
 Yesterday the case of William A. Birnie of New York vs The Connecticut Granite company of Branford was entered for trial at the January term of the Superior court. It is brought to recover damages of $25, 900. The case is singular one apparently, and on it's face would seem to be an attempt on the
 part of certain New Workers to get control of valuable granite quarry property in Bran ford from certain other New Workers. The second case of embezzlement brought against Attorney S. W. F. Andrews came up on continuance before the City court yester- day. Ex-Judge Blydenburgh, his attorney, demurred. Judge Deming overruled the de-
 murrer and bound the accused over to the Superior court under a bond of $150, which was furnished by Attorney Blydenburgh. In the City court yesterday morning Frank L. Smith and Frederick A. Benplank, two Yale students, were fined $10.50 each for making bonfire on the campus. John Sullivan, who did not appear in the City court when wanted as witness, was
 fined s5 for contempt by Judge Deming yesterday morning.
 Giuseppe Vincho, Antonio Gaodro and
 Bridget Mcdonald were all charged with | lasciyious carriage in the City court yester-
 day morning. They pleaded not guilty, but were all fined $7 and costs.
