The mountain above the depot will next be cared for picnic grounds, and the tower, and SFinch's Fish Pond" will need some clearing out, although it presents good appearance for place that has been wholly neglected for more than 60 years, E. E. Finch expended more than one thousand dollars on the pond and grounds, went west and never retplned. Spperintend- ent Holbrook expects to build house west of the depot, on the heights overlooking the lake. The proposed tower will overlook the Connecticut river valley from Massachusetts to Long Island Sound.

-Eastford cor. Norwich Bulletin :: Mrs. Arthur Lyon, who died last Saturday, the 2Oth, was reported by her physician to have been literally starved to death. She lived in the outskirts of the village of Alb ingfon and Ter sad and deplorable condi- ton was not known, until few days pre- vious to her death. It appears she had subsisted only on turnips and salt for a while. She was about thirty five years of age and leaves three small children with her husband. She sent her little boy after the physician at Arlington, md when he arrived he found her stomach in such a condition as to resist little rice water, that was proffered her. There were marks of violence found on her body. The boy was whipped by the brutal father for obeying his mother in summoning the physician. The selectmen of this town we're notified and will give her decent burial The children, who will also be kindly cared for, when visited by the se- lectmen, were found in nearly nude state with only bundle of rags for their cloth ing. The father is naturally indolent and incorporate. He has squandered small amount of property, which he inherited from his father.

Rather tedious, this talk about the Storr's school is, but we must remember it's very fresh subject for some folks. It's mighty queer doctrine to come out that state mustn't bank all it's fertility nor call every straight boy and girl to it's centers. It's funny idea, for the state, if it is going to teach economy in farming, that it don't need the fattest land, or many acres, in the first place, to do it on. Some people don't know, yet, that good farming, or good anything, consists in do ing the most with the least-in the best use of materials, and that the widows mite was the boss coin in scripture. .-JB.

A man worth $8, GOO, 900 has just died at New Orleans. He owned $500, ,000 stock in the Louisiana lottery, which paid him an income of $50, 900 year. If the aver age amount of prizes paid to the fools who invest in lotteries equaled the average amount which they paid for their tickets, the proprietors could never make profit and the size of the profits is the measure of the swindle. An indication of the mag nitude of the Louisiana swindle may be gained from the foregoing statement.

 Just as the people were hopeful from the starting anew of one of the mills, their hopes have been suddenly disappointed by Tuesdays fire. The buildings at the further end of the mill from the road, in- ciuding the picker and dye house, were uninjured, or only partly burned. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it may have been due to sparks from the chim- ney of the mill. What prospect there is for rebuilding cannot at present be stated.
