How frees Pump water.

Some idea of the necessity for preserv-
ing our forests, in order to protect the
valleys from disastrous foundations, may
be gathered from the fact that Dr. j. NJ
Anders, in the Official report of the geo
logical survey of Wisconsin, says that the
average amount of water pumped from
the earth and exhaled by soft, thin-leaved
plants in clear weather amounts to about
one and one fourth ounces Troy per day
of twelve hours for every square foot of
surface. "Hence. " says the doctor, "a

A FEW JOTTINGS

By a New Haven Gentleman Regard ing one of C0nnecticat's Most Noted Summer Resorts-Wealth, Fash1 on
 and Beauty.
 L1TcHTIELD, May 13.-Not house here is now to be had, as every one is rented and rented at figures which astonish the den1- zens as well as the average householder of the village. Some of the prices are as fol- lows: MT. Robinson rents his house "Bric- a-Brac'' to Mr. Maison of Charleston, s. O., for $1 200; Prof. Hoppin, of your city, has rented his place "1768" to Madame De Ferry, of New York, rents the Bishop cottage for $1 ,000; W. Braman rents his house to MT. Hart, of New York, for $900; Deacon Fred McNeif has rented his com fortable mansion to New York family for $1 ,000; the same figure is paid by MT. Brainerd, of Hartford, to MT. Starr for his remodeled house in South street, and MT. Atwood Collins, of the same city, has pur- chased Mr. Fuller's new house in South street for summer residence for about $10 000. Dr. George B. Farnam, of New Haven, has hired the Webster house. Prof. Dwight rents the Wadhams house at $1, 000 Large offers have been made for houses Tn NOrtn street In case Gn6lr owners do not open them.
 Many improvements are noticed in the village, among them MT. Fitzgerald's beau tiful f'The Naples" upon which he has expended some $50, 900, making it the most attractive summer residence in the county. Mr. Goddard, of New York, will occupy 8 portion of his palatial house this season. The material used in the construction of both mansion and stable is the Roxbury granite, similar to the Westerly stone. The stable, which is one of the sights of the village, has cost over $30, 900 and is une- qualled in New England.
 Miss Wolcott has improved her ancestral home by placing on the north side Nor man base window the first of it's kind in the village. Governor Andrews has in common with several others painted their spacious hcmes in the latest style of artistic coloring in fact we have all gone earnestly to work to make this charming village the banner town of the State as regards neatness and taste. Over two miles of asphalt walks have been laid and more are to be put down this summer. One good thing is to be done at once, many of the ugly division fences are to be removed-thus throwing together the beautiful lawns of the principal streets. The new stores are finished and the little rear room newly furnished so welcome to those passing up the village on hot and dusty day.
 The Vienna bakery is success as it was last summer. Delicious rolls can be had for breakfast and Vienna rolls for supper. As usual the 'fEcho farm wagon delivers at the houses the Alderney butter, cream and milk at a. m. and p. m.-so the Ltchfeldians are blessed with the prime luxuries of life.
 From the present outlook we look for 8 .'great season" this coming summer. I shall drop you line once a month till December when the season ends and the houses are closed. Yours truly,
 IITCHEIEID..

GOING TO GRISWOLD.

Woman and Six Children Tramp
 From Massaehusetts to this City.
 Yesterday afternoon 8 woman and six children, the oldest about nine years of age and the youngest babe, brought up at the Town Agents office and asked for lodging and something to eat. The woman, who was apparently about forty years of age, said her name was Lorena Whitman and that she had come from Massachusetts, walking the entire distance carrying her babe in her arms. She said her husband, who was charcoal burn CT, had gone off and left her and she was try ing to get to Griswold in this State, where she belonged. While the family were in front of the City hall kind-hearted attorney came along and on hearing the story handed :he poor woman, who looked tired and hun gry, two dollars to help her on her way. MT. 9eary, clerk of the Town Agent, sent the family to the Board of Associated Charities with an order for supper, lodging and break fast, and this morning they will be sent on their way toward Griswold as far as New London, where it is expected the authorities of that town will pass them along to their destination.

CABS AND HERDICs.

Fast Becoming Popular For Their Cheap Rates of Carrying Passengers ~The Rapid Increase in Their Num- bers.
 About two years ago some Boston parties introduced four "cabs," or "Herdics, into
 this city, and began the carrying of passen- gers within mile and half circle, starting from the City Hall, for twenty-five cents, at
 any time during the day or night. In these 'cabs'' the hack drivers saw an enemy and they predicted that the "cabs" would not be success, for the reason that they would cut down the prices too low. They did succeed, however, and forced many of those who be-
 fore charged fifty cents to come down to the same price as the ''cabs," and at the present
 time there are nearly fifty of these ''cabs" in
 the city, ,and they are in almost constant use for parties, balls or other business. These "cabs'' are mostly one-horse affairs and take two sets of drivers and two horses to each ''cab," one for the day and one for night. Their great stand has been on Church street near Chapel, Center street near Church and Union
 street in front of the Florence House, but the chief of police drove them off of Church street recently at the request of the Church street merchants, and they now have to keep moving, except that the Standard company
 has number in front of it's own office. Among the men who at present own these I ''eabs' are:

This parish is now in more prosperous condition than it has been for several years past, notwithstanding the many false and exaggerated reports that have been circulated. The pledges this year are $1 ,000 more than they were last year and several more seats have been assigned. The growth of this parish seems to be of the right kind; it is slow, and those who come, not being drawn by any excitement, come to stay.
