The trial of the 12 young men, who were arrested by State Detective Pease and Deputy Sheriff Langdon, with the aid of several police, at Housatonic last week, will come before the District court in this village tomorrow. It will be remembered that on the evening of January 14th two Frenchmen, who had taken the place of two striking weavers in the Wawbeek mill, were assaulted by party of ruffians and pounded almost to death The young men, who are called "White Caps" by some of the papers, are accused of the assault with intent to kill, but it is probable that not all of them are guilty, and it is certainly to be hoped that the innocent will escape and the guilty receive just punishment.

down the hill, Health said: This district can fool away, in experimenting, as much money as the tax payers will snb- init to, but they never can get Q better or more healthful invention than large wood stove to heat a school room with. Comfort said: That Is true, but it may require experience to teach them that fact. Economy said: I have been figuring on tho cost of heating school houses, and I will invest in wood stoves every time. I find they would need & wood fire only .! hours day (from S:30 a. m. to p. m. in each of the four rooms, equivalent to 30 hours, and only five days in week, or grand total of 15O hours per week. As they now pre- tend to heat the High School building it requires four coal stoves and each burning coal 24 hours per day and seven days in week, CT total of 672 hours of coal fire each week, against 15O hours of wood fire, which latter certain ly would be cheaper, healthier and more comfortable than the former. The ink might freeze over night unless placed in box alongside a soapstone, but far better that the ink freeze than allow the children and teachers to half freeze all day. The cost of hot air fur mace will be between S20O and $500. A steam heater will cost from S4OO to $500. Both will wear out in few years and then both principal and interest are gone. The first cost of wood stoves IS nominal and the fuel will cost less than the fuel for hot air furnace or steam heater But never mind, even if wood fuel costs more than coal, 8 district that can stand an $500 tax without twinge or even uttering word of protest, cer- tainly ought to be willing to use wood fuel, and remark; ''darn the expense" We will use 1t on the score of health and comfort. But I will say I am amused when I consider the makeup and avo- cations of the committe appointed to investigate the merits of new-fangled heating apparatus. l wonder if the aNopathic doctor will recommend stean,, with it's constant danger of explosion; if the merchant intends embarking in the coal trade if the lawyer and judge elect will exercise the same good judg- ment in this case that he does in questions of law Coop HEALTH.

ADVICE TO CROAKERS.

"Facts are stubborn things, meet them as we may" The following ex- cellent advice to croakers the en- couraging report concerning Connecti- cut farming. and the hint to money lenders form an editorial in the New Hartford Tribune of March 15
 We are always sorry to hear any per son depreciate and run down his OWL town or section of the country. There IS no surer way to lower the value of property than this sort of talk. The individuals in 8 community make up the aggregate of population, and each has some modicum of influence at home and abroad for the effect of which each Is responsible. It would surprise some of the worthy farmers who are always croaking about high taxes and low values to be told that they are in & measure responsible for the same. But why not :? Who wants to buy property in locality where the owners represent things as so very undesirable Such talk repels new corners, and discourages those on the ground. As long as one's lot is cast in place, his best interest is loyalty to home, to look up its advanta- ges and talk about them. There is not 8 spot in all Connecticut but possesses great natural attractions and greater or lesser advantages of communication with the rest of the world.
 The farmers are the ones who do the most croaking. They forget that farm ing is the biggest interest of the state. The last report of the labor commits sioner shows that Connecticut agricuI- ture instead of retrograding, prospers and advances. Of 693 farms reported only 211 were mortgaged, the mortgages amounting to 10 and frac- tion per cent of the total value of the 693 farms. This showing is specially of interest just now when western farms by the thousands are being abandoned to the mortgage companies. Intelligent farming pays in Connecticut, yes, in Litchheld county. Take heart for the coming season, friends.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

FASHION AND ExrRAvAGANoE rs HEALTH,
 COMFORT AND ECONOMY.
 Editor of Ne,rs
 In this age of new-fangled inventions, lofty style, discomfort and delicate health. will you kindly give an old fogy firm, or firm of old fogies, a little space in your columns. We were once 8 leading and popular firm in this country. and in the good old days of Jefersonian simplicity we were highly esteemed. Then, the firm of Health, Comfort & Economy was recognized and appreciated, and the wood stoves we manufactured were used in the majority of private dwellings and in all public buildings.
 The uproar in regard to the miserable way of heating the school house In your district, awakened us from our Rip Van Wrinkle sleep, and we toiled ID the hill to the school house on Mon day evening, March 11th., but arrived there just as the school meeting adjourned. We were told, however, that . doctor, a lawyer and 8 merchant had been appointed committee to enquire into the new-fangled methods of warm ing up the children, and warming" the taxpayers also. We were also told that during our 20 years nap our healthful, comfortable, durable and economical wood stoves had been thrown aside, and that cold stoves (coal stoves) had been substituted; that the teachers and children shiYer all the forenoon; that in severe weather the mercury in the school rooms does not rise above 400 until noon; that the atmosphere is heavy with coal gas; and the teachers and scholars suffer with headaches and colds and are generally miserable and uncomfortable, and now 1t IS proposed to purchase either 8 hot air furnace or steam heater. We were told that for 20 years past, men have been vainly trying to warm garrets by building fires in cellars. and that when they get control of the wind and can make it blow io whatever direction they choose, and in all directions at the same time, then the hot air furnace will be success, yet an expensive luxury. But until the present day, "the wind bloweth where it list eth, and thou nearest the sound thereof, huk canst not tell whence 1t cometh or whither it goeth" With furnace, your coal hills tell whence the heat cometh, but thou canst not tell whither it goeth
 The steam heater costs more yet. but then it is reliable, that is, you can always depend on 1t, so if the teachers neglect to blow up the children, the sesam heater will eventually attend to tAat duty, and blow up the teachers, the ehilareu, the building and itself, all a1 ooe explosion.
 That evening as we wended our way
