The Willimantic Fair Association clos ed on Friday last the most successful of its series of annual fairs. Successful in at- tendance and consequent good financial results, and in the rare attractiveness of the exhibits and good displays on the track. Tuesday brought fair attendance for tho first day. Wednesday was rainy, causing postponement until Thursday, when was carried out the program assigned to the second day, including the balloon ascen- sion. The attendance was very great the largest ever seen on the grounds. Sl5,- 900 was taken at the gates, and estimates as to numbers on the ground range from 5000 to 12,000. Fridays attendance was considerable less than half as large, though the program was quite as good as on any other day.
 There were many attractions in the main building worthy of extended notice. The Natchaug silk company had machinery running on productions. The Wallingford l Grange made a fine show of a steamboat modelled in grains, and floating on a sea of cabbages. The Storrs school and Mans field creamery helped out the fair won derfully. Poultry, carriage and stock ex- hibits were first class. A secret of the success of the WillImantic fair is the inter est felt in it's success by every resident of the borough and surrounding country. Each man regards it as an institution to be fostered and built up, not as a machine to disburse money to every one who may find crevice in its treasury. Expenses are kept down by an interested lot of workers, and receipts increased in every fair way. Aside from this it has in Messrs. Risley, Jilson, and an energetic corps of colaborers, those who started in with the society, learned all that they could during It's growth to it's present condition, and have not been afraid to work for good results.
 There was a considerable attendance from Stafford last Thursday at the cattle show at Somers. The -four towns socie- ty" had magnificent weather, and on this, it's fftieth anniversary year, gave one of those same genuine old fashioned cattle shows that pleased everybody and did ev- erybody good fifty years ago. and that arc | just as good now as then. The Stafford society aims to keep up the same old feat ures, while it also supplements them with the best novelties of the later day fairs.
 The New England Farmer says that ''sound seed corn must be very scarce next spring and the few farmers who have fields that were not injured by the recent frost should take special pains to thorough ly cure their crop and preserve it safely for next years use. The choice corn will all be wanted"
 The residence of Rev. H. c. Smith at Wales was burned down last Thursday night loss 5000; insurance $1100. The fire caught in the rear of the building and the family barely escaped, not having timo to dress The building was insured for $600, ,and the contents for $500. Rev. MT. Smith had used the place as a summer residence, but retired from active work this summer and intended to spend the winter in Wales.

Most women naturally look forward to mat rimony as their proper sphere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that a fair, rosy face, bright eyes, and healthy, we'll developed form, are the best passports to happy marriage. All those wasting disor- ders, weaknesses, dragging down" sensa- tions, and functional irregularities peculiar to their sex, have an unfailing specific in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under e positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle wrapper, and faith fully carried out for many years.
 "It was severe punishment" said the father, self-reproachfully, 'but it answers the purpose. It kept Johnny from running on the street."
 ssYou did not cripple the boy, did you ?"
 ssNo. I had his mother cut his hair for him. You ought to see the poor boy" And the proud father wept bitterly.

FRED GEBHARDT ARRESTED.
Tries to Wipe Up the Ground with q
Night Watclman.

The whole city of Houston, Texas, is
talking of sensational episode that took
place in that city. The most interesting OBJ
ject in the vicinity was Mrs Langtry's
private car, "Lule." After the performance
she entered carriage and ordered the driver
to proceed to her car. The palace on
wheels, it seems, had been switched
to the northern ends of the yards,
and, as the carriage was dashing up
the tracks, one of the night watchmen ordered
the driver to halt The command was obeyei,
and the Waterman then informed the driver
that he must turn around and go back, as the
rules prob bited the passage of carriages in
that particular territory. A man in the
carriage shouted to the driver to go ahead
and pay no attention to the watchman.
When the jehu attempted to whip his horses
forward the Waterman seized them, and,
with an oath, the man in the carriage
jumped out and then and there proceeded to-
dust off the rails with the watchmans person.
The latter, however, showed that he knew
thing or two about the science of smuggling,
and sent back as good as he received. While
the battle thus hung in the balance another
man leaped out of the carriage, and then the
Waterman succumbed. The Lily viewed
the battle, "as in a looking glass;" and when
the victors returned the carriage drove on to
the car. The Waterman, however, was
not to be SO easily disposed of. He re-
ceived reenforcements, and at daylight the
car was stormed The Lily, in her night
robes, was the first person to appear, and
she cried in piteous tones: ooh, have
nothing, Mr.. Train Robber. Please don't
shoot have no money" This caused a
loud laugh, and, when informed that they
were police, she seemed much relieved.
The two men were captured and taken to
the police station. They gave their names
as Pemberton and Keogh, and were fined S25
each. The former was recognized as Geb-
hardt, and was the man who began the
fight. Mrs. Langtry begged the police to
keep the affair from the reporters.

A Big Price for a Tree.

Curly walnut is highly valued BY
veneer makers, II it contains the right
kind OF figure. A curious story comes
from West Virginia about curly wal
nut log. A woodsman found q tree
somewhere in the region about Kama
wha Falls that he concluded was very
valu able. He secured sample aud
forwarded it to handler of such wood
ia Baltimore. Tho result was that the
discoverer received an offer for the tree
probably amour ting to $4,000. Suisse
quently the Baltimore man sold share
of the chance to an Indianapolis dealer,
who opened negotiations with the
woodsman for possession of the prize, at
length going to West Virginia to prose
cute the enterprise. When the affair
had reached thi, stage tho woodsman
concluded that tho treo was worth
$4,000, and demanded that sum for it OF
he would not yield up his knowledge.
Seeing that tho indianapolis man was
bound to find the tree, If possible, the
discoverer cut it down and buried it in
the earth. A thorough search, has. as
yet, failed to reveal the hiding place of
the log and the man who holds the Sc
cret declares that nothing but $4,000
will bring it to the surface. Il Brooklyn
