 -Benj. J. Weinberg, who, with his fam fly, came here some 20 years ago and bought the Gen. Holt farm on the hill near Ashford, died in New York City last week at the Hotel Belvedere. His disease was pneumonia, the same that carried off Mrs. Julia Weinberg and her daughter, Mrs. Porteorr,. MT. Weinberg was much liked in this vicinity, where he made it his home at intervals, when on from New York. Of late years, however, his visits here had entirely ceased. The N. Y. Her. ald gives an extended notice of his death and that of his brother who died at nearly the same time of consumption. They were buried in the same grave. MT. Weinberg, it seems by that paper, was raised in Maine, and has long been en- engaged in the shipping business i'll New York.
 Complaint was made to Selectman Holman, Holland, last week concerning the fact that Harriet Ladd, girl of B years of age, whose parents now live in this town, but who belong to Tolland had gone to keeping house for one Sylvester -, Square Pond. MT. Holman told the girl she must leave that domicile or else be sent to the reform school. We have been requested by leading citizens many times during the last year or two to call atten- f/, o1l o4e C.. from the center of the town, and known as the Bee Hive" where this girl has her home. There are some things ill this world as bad as rum and tobacco. if not much worse. The hideous and unspeak-- able evils which result therefrom have been the bane of the ages. Why this law abiding, quiet and moral old town should be pitched upon as location for alleged nuisances of the sort hlnted at is past finding out. It's rather tough, for in stance, for families, where dwell innocent young girls and susceptible boys, to be reused in the dead of the night to be en- qulred of where such and such resort is to be found, by young sports from the sur rounding towns Now shall these places, Ii such places exist, as Is averred by par ties all over the county be suppressed and, if suppressed, how i? The latter query is solved by the general statutes, pp. 51i. 512, sections 6, z, 8. The last section re- lates to the penalty for renting such tene- ments. It will be noticed that there is a reputation clause in the statute, and that somebody must make complaint Does it not seem as if those who are more directly annoyed in the premises are the ones to make complaint?
