Harry Budworth, the manager of a
cheap show at Odd Fellows Hall, sud-
denly and unexpectedly disappeared early
last Saturday morning. A week of bad
business had loaded him with burden of
debts and the presumption is he left the
city to escape his creditors. His people
lose their salary by his flight and are in
arrears for board. The fiighty manager
and Nellie Brimmer, his wife, went away
at the same time, and il is believed, took
enough money away TO have met all
claims against him and to have paid
| salaries.

Bridge.tender Morrison is said to OWE
a remarkably sagaciousd dog. The canine,
it is stated, sits on Market street bridge
every morning until a newsboy comet
along, receives paper and carries it to
his master. When boat whistles for the
draw to be turned, it is alleged, the
dog, if his master is asleep, will
awaken him by barking. When
Mr.. Morrison leaves his hat upstairs the
canine goes and gets it, and if that gentle
man, when uptown, discovers that he has
left something Mt homo that he desires
all that he has to do is to write note
direct it to his wife, give it to the dog
and the faithful beast will run home and
soon return with the article wanted.

Peaches I'm Kent county, Md.

The peaoh-growers of Chestertown,
Md, and vicinity held another meeting
at the courthouse Tuesday week in re.
gard to the the Peach Exchange. At the
last meeting the majority of the peach.
growers were in favor of uniting with the
Wyoming, DEL, exchange by the estab.
lishment of branch exchange at Ohes.
tertown. By this method Kent county
peaches would be sold together with
Delaware peaches at Wyoming, where the
buyers would concentrate, but now the
general sentiment inclines towards the
establishment of separate exchange al

to this point.

LIToHFIELD's WORST FIRE.
The COurt-HHOuse and Over a Dozen
Places of business burned.


WATERBURY,, Conn.,, June 1.-THE
worst fire ever experienced in Litchfield
occurred this morning. At about 1.30
o'clock flames were discovered breaking
out of the rear end of the store of Moore
& Madden, next to the Mansion House.
There were no proper appliances on
hand to stop the fire, and it soon became
evident that all efforts to save the build
ing would be in vain. The fire spread
rapidly to the Mansion House ON one
side and to Lords building on the other.
From the latter the courthouse took fire
and is now entirely burned down.
The following places of business were
destroyed: DIR. Cooks. Vessels & Smith,
Mrs. McDonalds. F. A. Shepard's, H. B.
Graves, E. e. Phelps, Cooley's Hotel,
Fred Kochler's, Moore & Madden's, ID. O.
Kilbourn's, @. b. Bishops, e. b. Peck's,
Coe Il Marsh's, II. Halls, G. A. Hickox's,
the Enquirer printing office and j. D.
Mcneil a. Co.'S. A lawyer named Preston
came near being suffocated and was re-
suscitated with much difficulty. The
origin of the fire is unknown. The losi
is estimated at 5000, 900, which is vel
covered by insurance.
