HE GOT THERE.

The Papers Went OG L1ke Mot Cakes
 ATweIve Hai1e Jaunt In the Suburbs
 How Many of the Outsiders Got the
 Papers.
 The people in the suburbs did not have any papers Monday or Tuesday, therefore a representative of the COURIER prieked up his Yankee courage and started out We'd nesday morning to make few shekels and give the outsiders the news. So bright and early on Wednesday morning he started out with over four hundred papers. He was bound for the southwestern part of the city. The route he took was out Congress avenue, where he sold the first paper for five cents, to Washington street, down Howard avenue, where people rushed to the door or window as they heard the cry morning papers" in their eager haste to obtain the latest news about the great storm; thence down to Oyster Point. where the honest seafaring people live. They were so eager for papers that they readily gave ten cents each for morning paper; thence back up to Kimberly avenue trudged the earnest worker and down that avenue across West river into the snow bound town of West Haven, where papers twenty-five cents each; thence on down to Savin Rock, where the few people who stayed there during the winter were very anxious to get news from the outside world, as they were completely snow bound. Some of these paid as high as q dollar for paper, others twenty five and fifty cents
 At last all the papers were sold and the now thoroughly tired out man returned to this city, arriving here at about o'clock in the afternoon nearer dead than alive. It is estimated flat he traversed over twelve miles. and sorae of the way he had to beat his own ysakh

The Hartford Courant says: In this free country lots of us complain of the telephone, and we think it both right and privilege, but yesterday covers multitude Of sins. Yesterday, in the binding snow and the driving gale, the telephone carried all over the city and from town to town the messages that put an end to a vast amount of anxiety. that saved no end of risk and exposure that otherwise would have been necessary, and that made it possible to do business even when no one could go out about it. Those who did not have telephones in their houses wished they had them. There's no doubt of that, and every telephone in town that worked paid for itself yesterday from the time it was put in up to date and for some time to come It's great century that can produce both the telephone and such sterm as yesterdays to try it.
