The tea party and New England kitchen
conducted by the ladies Of the Episcopal
church on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
of last week proved financial success.
Arrived from New York Jan. 9Th schooner
Wave Captain John Seward, with merchan-
disc for B. Monroe and Landon & Davis.
The cold wave of Monday and Tuesday
are ready to cut eight-inch ice.
The gratitude of many people who cumber
this earth is fittingly illustrated by the fol-
lowing incident, VIZ: About year since a
young lady in family not thousand miles
from Guilford was sick and became a raving
maniac and the attendant pronounced her
hopelessly insane and proposed her removal
to the insane hospital at Middletown, when a
Guilford physician employed, and i'm
portuned by the family with tears in their
eyes and the promise of liberal pay and val
liable presents to cure their daughter and
sister. The patient was. cured, has since pc
come a loving wife and is in her right mind,
and that physicians bill of $50 has been
partly paid and he finds it necessary to insti-
tute a suit to collect the balance. Oh, con-
sistency thou art jewel.
Guilford possesses perfect wonder in a
miss of twelve OF thirteen summers. She
has charmed influence over the animal and
insect tribes. She dresses her cats like a
baby, nuts them into her baby carriage and
takes them around to the neighbors with the
unmistaken assurance that grimalkin will
maintain the attitudes in which she places
her. The same is true of her hens and
chickens, and all insects are harmless in her
hands

However, it appears that Connecticut trout

wriggling minnow. Mr.. Warren Rowley, of
North Main street, tried ice fishing on Mon
day at the Mapping pond, and among his
captures was speckled brook trout weigh

After this a german will follow.
when Crime Is Less Common.

In speaking of the universal quiet which
now prevails among police circles yesterday
Detective Brewer remarked: 81 have noticed
that when the Superior court is in session it
is always quiet in our business. Why it is
can't say, but it is fact that during SEES
sions of the Superior court there is less
crime committed in the city than at other
times"
A bystander limited that it might be well
to keep the Superior court going all the
time, but the obvious difficulty of getting
any criminals for the court to try in that
case led the bystander to Withdraw his sug-
gsstion.
