The Guide and the Grizzlies.

While believe that grizzly bear will, in a majority of cases, wait for fight with q man, and take pains to get in the way of one, there are times when it will seem to thinl; better of it and back out. A remarkable in. stance of this kind heard of once where q famous Manitoba guide courageously ad. vanced upon three grizzlies, an old she one and two half grown young bears, and by a series of ridiculous monkey shines and aero battle maneuvers on the ground within q rod or two of the bears filled them with such astonishment and apparent fear that the three retreated into the woods with all rapid. ity. The guides gun had snapped in both barrels, he having drawn on the old bear be- fore the young ones appeared. He afterward said that it was fit of desperation that he tried the turning of a handspring, and jump. ing up and down, Hopping his hands, and re sorting to other unhunterlike measures. He had been told once that a hunter had fright. ened mountain lion away by similar ab- surd movements, and he found that it worked to perfection in the case of the bears, al though he did not encourage any one to ge hunting grizzlies armed with nothing mora than capacity to turn somersaults.

She Leads Meriden In Everything Except
 Slugging Polo.
 The Meriden papers are mad because Waterbury is going to ask congress for $15O, 900 for public building before Mer- iden has taken the initiative The Repub- lican, under the caption ''Waterbury leads Merider," knows of no reason why Meri- den should not go and do likewise. We'll, suppose Meriden does it will not be the first time that she has profted by Water bury's example. The Journal does not concede quite as much to the Brass City. It springs Waterbury's plans on it's readers under the caption, "Waterbury beats Mer- iden ill the matter of asking congress for a S150,00O appropriation. Is it possible that prominent citizens of Meriden were making move ill this direction and the Meriden papers doing nothing to boom the scheme? But it must be so for the Journal says:
 ''The fun of this business is that num- Der of we'll known citizens of Meriden were also quietly at work getting ready to ask for similar appropriation for just such a purpose, and now Waterbury spells every thing by getting in it's claim first; of course both cities could not expect an appropria- tion with New London and Bridgeport also clamoring for one. How what was on foot here came to leak out is not known, but at any rate the Waterbury people were not slow in taking lively action and in leeping dark about it. As the Journal has lad occasion to remark before, there is lothing slow about Waterbury,"

TALKATIVE JURORS.
An Important Case Which May be Re-
 opened for Trial.

Some two weeks ago the jury in the case brought by William Roberts to recover damage for injuries received while at work on power press at the works of the Wa terbury Manufacturing company awarded the plaintiff $500 and costs. This morn ing before Judge Bradstreet in the district court Attorney O'Neil, counsel for the Wa terbury Manufacturing company, made 8 motion to set aside the verdict on account of improper conduct of jurors in ta- king about the case. MT O'Neil introduced a number of witnesses who swore that four or five of the jurors immediately after an adjournment, while the case was pending, permitted the plaintiff in the case to show them how to operato tf the press which was i standing in the court room. MT O'Neil claimed that when the oath is administer- ed to iurymen they are admonished to not talk about the case to any one or let any one talk about it to them. The Court ad- mitted that the facts as claimed by the de- fendants were established by evidence, but reserved his opinion: A number of the legal fraternity are of the opinion that a new trial will be granted.

Picking up in Drill and Practicing Guar
 

The local companies had their third bat talion drill of the season at the armory last evening" Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Doher- ty was in command of the battalion and the companies were under Captains Bur pee and Wolf, and Lieutenants Stocking and Halpin. Lieutenant Fitzpatrick of Company G acted as adjutant general and Corporal Carter of Company A as sergeant major. The battalion drill, like the others this season, was highly satisfactory and brought out a large attendance. Besides a battalion drill there was guard mounting, Captain Wolf acting as old officer of the day, Captain Burpee as officer of the day, and Lieutenants Stocking and Halpin as officers of the guard. There was also 8 dress parade at the conclusion of the bat talion drill. The local companies are do- ing some good work and will go to camp next season in good trim. Company G is picking up wonderfully under Captain Wolf and Company A is holding it's own under Captain Burpee, while Colonel Doherty's presence has a salutary effect over officers and men.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The rivalry between Jersey City and Newark will be just as strong as ever dur ing the season of 'S8, with the odds in favor of Jersey City.
 "Mull' Smith has been signed by the Meridens. He played with the Silver City team last season. John Barney, ball player, of New Haven, who was arrested a few weeks ago at the request of officials in Westchester county, N. Y., was rearrested yesterday and taken to New York on requisition papers charg- ing him with wholesale robbery of hen roosts near Albany. He and Gentle Willie Murphy would form a great henroost bat tery.
 At Meriden last night the home team de feated the New Ravens by the score of 8 to 4,
 George Moolio, the ex-Meriden player, made a catch in center field at New Or leans Feb 15, that was pronounced the fin est ever seen in the park. In the first in- ming Corkhill hit the ball in the nose and sent 1t flying to center. Mobile started af- ter it, and, by hard run and high jump, pulled the ball down with one hand. He received tremendous applause, and was made to dof his cap.
 Morris Quirk of last seasons Water burys, has applied for the position of catcher upon the Ansonia amateur base ball nine.

THE STATE BRIGADE.
The First Regiment Notwithstanding O
 the Waterbury Companies.


 the Waterbury Companies.
 The figures of merit of the Connecticut National Guard for the month of January have just been issued by the adjutant gen eral. The First regiment for the first time this drill season leads the brigade and its closest rival-the Second regiment-ex- ceeding the rating of that organization by 1.09. The regimental figures are First, 93. 49; Second, 92. 40; Fourth, SS 39; Third, 81.83 The Fifth battalion is 1881, and the Battery 71.75. Company G leads the First regiment and the 37 companies of the brigade with the handsome rating 9S.53, which is exceptionally high, has been rarely excelled, and is particularly creditable to a country company. Compa- ny D leads the Second regiment with 98. .O4 to its credit. Company A comes next with 95.99, and the marks of the other compa- nies are as follows: B, 91.O7; c, sS.77: E, 94. .G1; F, S7.19; G, 91 ,6S; H, 87.57; I, 93.54: K, 91 63.
 The highest and lowest companies in the other regiments are as follows: Third regi ment: E, (Willimantic), SS 16; F, Daniel sonville), 75.18. Fourth regiment: F Nor walk), 91 GA; E, (Bridgeport, 1924 Com pany c, Bridgeport, leads the Fifth bat talion with 79.77; the Hartford company B) is 7S.3O. The Branford platoon of the battery is highest, 72.22. Machine-gun platoons are rated in order of merit: 4th, 99.O7; End, 93.3O; 1st, 92.59 3rd, 72,55.
 The monthly order announcing figures of merit is due about the 18th of the sue. ceeding month, and the reason for the de lay this month, is apparently explained by the adjutant-general in the following para graph:-
 The publication of this order has been delayed | by reason of the neglect of some commanding officers to forward drill reports promptly to reg l mental headquarters. Company and platoon commanders are reminded that drill report. should always be forwarded within the first three days of the month succeeding that for which re port is made.
 According to the order the companies whose reports were not forwarded to regi. mental headquarters within the required time, ,are B, First regiment; D and H Second | repiment

Some time after the plaintiff sent Mrs Cameron a bill for the picture and as she refused to pay for it he brought suit to recover S3O. Judge 'Cowell reserved his decision.
 Immediately after the adjournment of the case Deputy Sheriff Sweeney arrested Hill on the charge of committing breach of the peace, in attempting to force all en. trance into Mrs Cameron's house against her wishes, and took Hill to NaugatucB for trial this afternoon.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
COLORED TWINS JOINED TOGEIH'

A Macon (Ga.) special says: One
of the most remarkable cases OF
twins on record Is at present in this
city. Yesterday afternoon, col
ored woman on the place of Judge
Chas. Harris. gave birth to a child
or children, the like of which has
never been seen here before. The
following description will give the
reader some idea of it:
The two children were attached
together at the breast bone, facing
each other. II veritable pair OF
Siamese twins. From the breast
up they were two perfectly formed
hnman beings. Each had a head
covered with hair, a perfect lace
with eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and
every part and feature OF the
countenance. Each had two arms
and abdomen. They had three
legs, two legs beng perfectly
natural, and the third leg seemed
to be Joined at the left bip OF one
and the right hip of the other
This third leg was only natural
from the knee down. On the foot
of this leg were eight toes IN a
row. and a ninth toe on top of the
foot. The third leg rested liat
against the body. There were
double hip joints.
There seems to have been only
one heart and the child in whose
breast it was situated lived about
one hour. The second child lived
four and a half hours, and while 1t
breathed the heart in the dead
child continued to beat, and 1t ala
not cease to beat until the child
ceased to breathe.

born and one of them cried a little

woman in her trouble, and after

and later on at Lamar Ramklins

to put the bodies in alcohol, that

II is believed that the following
anecdote of Brigham Young has
never before been published. Inc
high priest Of the Mormons often
had to exert the whole OF his won
derfully quick wit in order to pre-
serve the faith that his followers had
in him, but he was generally equal
to the occasion. A certain elder,
while chopping wood, had cuthis leg
so badly that it had to be amputa'
ted. AS soon as he was able he
came to Young and stated his case
TO him somewhat as follows: "l
have always been a good Mormon; ;
| have several wives and a good
many children, and in my present
manned condition | do not know
how | am to provide for them. |
believe truly that you are Christs
representative on earth, and that
you have all the power that he had,
If you like you can give me a new
leg. aud now | ask you to do It,"
Young assented to all the flat.
tering propositions as they we're
laid down, and when the elder had
finished speaking he said; 81 can
give you a new leg, and | will, but
l want you to think about 1t a little
at first. When the day ofJudgment
comes, wherever you are buried,
your old leg will find you out and
loln itself to you, but il | give you
a new one that will rise with you,
too, and the question is whether you
you would rather suffer the lncon'
venience of getting along with one
for few years here or go through
all eternity with three legs"
The choice was quickly made,

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER

To the home of his father returning
The Prodigal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with JOY and thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn;
A "robe" and a "ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent vow.
But, ah for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from her home-'
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam
Alone on the bleak. barren mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
No hand is ontstretchcd in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep though they stray
The weakest, and cen the forsaken,
He bears in his bosom Away;
And in the bright mansions of glory.
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There Is room for the Prodigal Daughter
As well as the Prodigal Son.
