THE BETTER WAY,

Or How The Connecticut Western
 News Gives ifs Subscribers Value
 Received for their Money.
 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News itsef worth the subscription price.
 They furthermore know that we can- not directly club The News with other papers and periodicals wi,hout robbing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to it and which is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Eglestons subscription agencyThe News Is clubbed with every desirable periodi- cal published, for it will readily be seen that 1t is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers.
 Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals.
 Mir Eglestons advertisement, "Choice Reading at Club Rates" in another col umn enumerates only fraction of the periodicals that may be clubbed with The News

GREAT HARRINGTON.

Mat Conner of Water street in this village, for an assault on Wilber Mat toon, young fellow of Housatonic, was brought before the district court Friday and was ordered to pay costs of prose- cution amounting to $10. It appears from the evidence that MI.toon came to town Sunday evening for the purpose of waiting upou Miss McCue, and while walking out with her was met by Con- ner, who struck Mattoon three times on the head with his fist. The young fel- low drew q loaded revolver for the pur- pose of defending himself, but Conner took this from him. Miss McCue saw some one strike Mattoon, but the even- ing being dark could not positively say whether it was Conner or not. Conner claimed he did not strike NIattoon but only took the revolver from him. Oth- CTS, however, heard Ma toon's cry for help when some one had him backed against the fence, and iu compliance with all the evidence Judge Shores found Conner guilty and in addition to the costs put him under $50 bonds for good behavior one month.
