 The case of Stafford vs. Ellington in which the former town claimed reimburse ment for the past and relief for the future, in having supported Mrs. L,add, has been decided by Judge Loomis in favor of Staf- ford, requiring the payment by Ellington of $92 and costs of trial The decision carries with it the future support of Mrs. Ladd, also reimbursement for her care during the interval of one year since the action was brought. Mrs. Ladd during most of her life lived in Ellington, where her husband was hard working farmer and taxpayer, but the large family of children reared by him, have none of them made any great success in life, and after a few years of alternate support among these Mrs. Ladd became town charge. Filing ton claimed that by continuous residence in Stafford she had gained residence here, but Stafford showed that she had only been here at intervals of four years, alternating her home with children in Staf- ford, Union and Willimantic, and the court has decided that her last acquired resi- dence was in Ellington, where her husband died. J. Fl. Reed the towns attorney was aided in the case for Stafford by A. P. Hyde of Hartford, and Ellington's case was managed by Lawyers Marcy of Rock vile and Turner of Stafford
 HI. 0. Mclaughlin has resumed the charge of the printing office connected with Fay, Peck & Co.'s straw works in Monson for the winter term. Burt Eaton has also engaged in work at these shops.

deem the best service can render to my patrons is to point out the ways and means by which they can best serve themselves In bringing to knowledge facts which upon in- vestigation prove the existence of opportunities by which they may derive lasting benefits, ,my duty is half performed. It must be apparent that one who associated with and connncted by intimate relations with those who are upon the ground, and whose special business it is to'watch and to know, is best able to judge when opportunities are fairest. There is at present no excitement, no ''boom, ; in fact nothing to disturb the normal condition of things, but on the contrary matters seem to have settled down to stable, old-fashioned basis, but show clearly the clements of success and permanence. While crops have not been 80 superabundant as to flood the country with cheap and unstable surplus, there is plenty everywhere, and especially in the western counties of Kansas there is large surplus for export at tempting prices. assert that the present conditions are conspicuosly favorable for sound, conservative work, and that Se- curities selected now have the crowning ad- vantage of normal basis of values There 8 nothing to create visionary or inflated values, and land can be bought for what it is worth; but on the contrary land has sub stanial money value, which is easily ascer- tained, and that is the key 10 the situation.
 Under these conditions the business of in- vesting funds upon farm mortgage securi 'ies, and producing class of paper absolutely beyond question in every point of safety and convenience, becomes an exact science, and the only condition of perfect work is mastery of the science. may be permitted to say, without vanity, the immense success attend ing the sale of mortgage securities has carried me to the rare and enviable position from which can point to the work done, and let it tell the story. Let the hundreds of invest ors, great or small, for whom have dis charged great and responsible trusts, one and all come forth and testify, and will abide the verdict.
 Any list of loans I might furnish could only serve as a temporary guide. But as- sure old friends and new that all orders shall be filled with my best judgement. And in all the years of my business have never ask ed a man to take security that was not ab- solutely frst-class and satisfactory in every detail

(FROM "RETsEL.r)
 It frequently happens that folks get married aud live together happily five years or more, and then their friends like to remind them of the anniversary. Such was the case here Wednesday evening last, when about 30 of the friends aud neigh bors of Mir. and Mrs. Louis B. Price gath cred at their new house and home to re- mind them it was the fifth anniversary of their marriage. After a short time spent in social chat Mir. and Mrs. P. were con- fronted by MT. E. O. Dimock, who con- graduated them on tbis happy occasion, and voiced the sentiment of all in thanking them for their cheerful assistance in any and all matters of social entertainment. And, as slight token of the appreciation and regard of their friends, and in their behalf, presented them anice and well ex- ecuted painting of ''Falls near Minneapo- lis, Minn.," (which was all the more valu- able as being the work of one of the friends present., also sum of money, for which Mir. Price expressed his thanks in words and manner. Then congratulations were in order, and refreshments served, and the evening passed rapidly away.
 -On the same evening State Master Hale of the F. of H. explained the objects of the order, and organized a grange at the town hall. The following is the list of officers as near as memory serves us :: Master, Geo. w. Adams overseer, James H. Clough; lecturer, Erwin o. Dimock secretary, Vim. D. Holman; steward, Dr. Wm. H.

The Young Men Of the south.

The idea prevails largely In our current
literature That the young men Of the "new
SOUTH are full Of force and energy, eager to
grapple the difficulties of their situation, and
quite prepared to wringsuccess from unwilling
fortune. The picture is not wholly one of
fancy. There are such young men among us,
and they are illustrating what may be done
in the new order of things amid which they
ARE thrown. But they are not very numerous
ARE, in fact, painfully exceptional The
Grcat bulk of our young men are of the oppo-
site type They go about business il they go
ut it at all, in a balf-heaIted way, as il they
regarded failure as foregone conclusion. A
great many do not engage in any steady voca-
ton, but accept any little job by which they
can earn few dollars
Perhaps there never were so many men who
cannot be said TO be pursuing any regular
calling. An ambition to get behind counter,
or to secure a travelling agency for some bust
ness house, is that which generally takes pos
session of the minds Of our young men. There
is a turning away from agriculture as If 1t
wero not calling which promises to patience,
energy and industry the very best rewards.
We must own it, that the bold, ambitious
young man, who is willing to forego present
case and display, and who viii not be content
with any expedient that may meet the present
emergency, is an exception among u.s. There
is as good chance to lay the foundations of a
fortune now as there ever was, II young men
viii only exercise the proper industry and
economy. Atlanta Sunny South.

She pIsappearod for Good.

At private parties in Paris q little trick is
now very commonly performed which CON
juror has lately brought into vogue. A lady
in the company is requested TO seat herself on
Q bamboo chdir, when she is covered with a
large shawl, under which the general out
line of her figure is distinctly visible Tho
performer then claps his hands thrice, lifts
up the shawl and the lady has disappeared.
A few days Viscount r., who had learned
the trick, invited numerous company
TO his house in order TO experiment ON his
wife. Everything passed Off successfully
The beautiful countess sat down ON the chair;
fhe disappeared at the third clap. Cries of
"Bravop resounded through the room, and
the noble host, after reveling awhile in the
general establishment, said TO his guests:
Nov, ladies and gentlemen, shall have the
honor to bring the vanished one back to tho
company He then retired into the next
apartment, but as he did not come back for
long time search was made and the poor Wis
count was found lying in his bedroom, in
swoon. Her ladyship had disappeared for
good and all In letter which was found
she stated she could not live with him any
longer, and had taken that opportunity to
leave his house and return to her friends

Diseases Of mountainous srexIoo.

In that section known as the TERRA colorado
very curious but harmless cutaneous afRec-
ton prevails, here known as quiricara, which
causes people to appear spotted, as if painted
all over the face and body in huge polka
dots, and hence the natives are dubbed
Pintos, or painted people" That much
dreaded mental disease, known to the world
as cretinism, is as alarmingly prevalent in
the mountain valleys of Guerrero as in some
portions Of Switzerland. IN Europe the dis
ease is rarely encountered at higher altitude
than 5000 feet, and chiefly haunts those val
leys that are surrounded by high, steep walls
OF rock, that exclude the light and limit free
circulation of air; but in Guerrero it appears
to be confined to no fixed elevation or especial
conhguration Of soil. Goitre is often found
IN connection with it here, as in the lower
Alpine valleys, not only Of Switzerland and
Italy, but Of the Pyrenees Syria, India and
China.-Fannie b. Ward in Boston Tran
