STATE NEWS.

Norwalk scores a point over Bridgeport in the fight for the location of the proposed new county court house by offering to give
 to the county the $1, ,200,O ,O00 estate of the late LeGrand Lockwood. The buildings are palatial, and the marble mansion on the es- tate is famed for it's magnifcence.
 Willimantic has a sensational trial on hand ! in the suit of Mrs. Anna Wilbur, described as "a fascinating widow" of thirty, against prominent citizen of the town. The suit is to recover $7,000 which the plaintiff claims to have given Lathrop for investment and on which he has made no returns. The defendant denies ever having received any money from Mrs. Wilbur and claims it is a case of attempted extortion or blackmail. The big apple crop and consequent over flow of cider enables the Wilmington farmers to pass an unusually gleeful winter, and correspondent relates these 'scider anec- dotes:' Uncle Enos after round of calls on a recent frosty day brought up at night at the house of relative and asked in an un- steady voice for glass of cider to help him up the hill. ''No, Uncle Enos," said the woman of the house, 'tyou have had enough cider to-day, but anything that l
 have that you would like to "Wen, E,liza,'' said the old man,
 ''I know you won't go back on your word and I'll take bowl of bread and cider" An other old farmer took to visiting the cellar so often that domestic wrapped herself in 8 sheet and stationed herself near the long row of cider barrels in the cellar. The old man, with cider mug and tallow dip in hand
 started at first sight of the ghostly visitor,
 but, gathering himself together, he ejaculat-
 ed incoherently: 'I aint afraid on ye, you
 can't hurt me; I've got son in the legisla- ture"

As has already been announced in these columns the ladies of our Women's Chris tian association propose giving grand choc- olate party at Carlls Opera House the latter part of this month. But perhaps it is not generally known that this entertainment is to continue for two nights and one after noon, namely, Thursday evening, February %, and Friday afternoon and evening, Feb ruary 26.
 For Thursday evening the Wheeler & Wilson full band of twenty pieces has been engaged, and will play from 6:30 to II o'clock
 Mr. Rosenberg, the leader, has written that the band will play their choicest selec- tions, and the concert will be of the finest and most pleasing character. Friday after noon is to be the 'children's day" A Punch and Judy show, fan drill, grab-bag and other attractions will be specially en- gagged for the amusement of the little ones. On Friday evening the ladies have arranged to give very fine concert, and the first musical talent of the. city have cheerfully promised their services. Full particulars of this concert will be given later.
 In anticipation of the great throng which will undoubtedly be present some thousands of tickets have already been printed and kindly donated to the association by Mrs. O. A. Dorman, for which timely gift the ladies desire to return thanks.

Judge York Of New Haven Endorses
 Dr. Hen1On, the Magnetic Physician
 at 1O9 Orange Street.
 When Dr. Henion was in New Haven twelve years ago Samuel A. York, who is judge of the Probate court of New Haven, had been great sufferer from sciatic rheu- matism for over year. His limb had be- come very sore and painful; it was also par tially stiffened at the hip joint. Judge York had been under various kinds of treatment and numerous applications had been made to the limb, but he gradually grew worse as all such cases do under all kinds of medical treatment. When he ap- piled to Dr. Henion it was very painful to handle the limb, but in one month under Dr. Henion's magnetic treatment the rheu- matism was cured and the limb restored to use and Judge York stated in Dr. Henion's rooms, a short time since, that he was still perfectly we'll and had not had a return of the rheumatism since Dr. Henion treated him 12 years ago. This tells whether Dr. Henion's treatment is permanent or not. If a person goes twelve years without turn of the disease it is very conclusive evil dence that the treatment is permanent, and statement coming from Judge York, who, through his honorable and square dealing both in his social and official relations, has kept the confidence of the people throsgh his entire life, ought to convince the most skepti- cal that he would not allow such a statement to be published unless it was strictly correct. Dr. Henion's rooms at 109 Orange street are filled from morning until night with people who are suffering from all forms of disease, and they leave to become unimpeachable evidence of Dr. Hen ions magnetic power to cure disease. He consults free of charge from 9:30 a. m until 6p. m. f16 If
