Stoeffel's Gun Found.

The missing link in the A. J. Peck
 murder case, the gun with which he was shot, is said to have been found, Sunday. The Farmer says: The gun, for which a posse of sheriffs had sought in marshes and woods in and about the surrounding country, was found buried deeply in the yard at the rear of Stoeffels house. Dep uty Sheriff Glover, after unearthing it, confronted Mrs Stoeffel with the gun in his hand and the little German woman betrayed that she was not unaware of it's place of ofconcealment. It is asserted that she made full confersion of her hus- bands guilt, relating the circumstances in detail to the deputy sheriff. Stoeffefs s case has been continued until the Oeto-
 Der term of the Superior court, when State Attorney Fessenden expects to be present to conduct the case. The evil dence against Stoeffel is now almost con- elusive, the determination with which Deputy Sheriff Glover has conducted his search for the missing evidence having cleared away the circumstances of the
 murder which heretofore have proved a mystery. The gun is now ill the pos session of Deputy Sheriff Glover, and ! will be turned over to State Attorney
 Fessenden, who is conducting the case, with all possible secrecy. The gun is
 covered with rust, the result of it's long burial in the earth and is now useless.

The Academy and it's New Principa

The Academy and it's New Principal.
 The school sessions of the Newtown Academy will open at 9 o'clock, next Tuesday morning, September 17. The departments which will be Immediately formed will be the academic, intermedi- ate and primary. The services of Prof David Lindsay Lowson, M. A, have been secured as principal Prof Iowson is a teacher of rare qualifications and wide experience, having devoted more than 20 years to teaching, which is his life work. Some idea of his standing as an educator may be had from the follow ing extracts from the many testimonials which he has received from distinguish ed scholars and teachers. Thomas Da- vidson, for 16 years principal of St Louis High school, writes as follows 1T have known MT D. l.. Lowson for about 24 years and in my various relations hold him to be man of most upright and generous character, of large and practi- cal views aud unusual executive ability. His quiet strength, combined with sin gular absence of exaggeration and obtru- siveness, renders him particularly fitted to guide young people in their moral as we'll as intellectual training. His success as q teacher and as principal of q large school is so we'll attested by statistics as hardly to require mention from me. He is devoted in the best sense to the cause of public education, being as deeply versed in it's methods as interested in it's aims.''
 David Munro, distinguished scholar and principal of one of London's High schools, says: s'I have known MrLowson most intimately for 19 years and have had ample opportunities of judging of his capabilities, both as head master ability, gifted alike as classic and a mathematician and possessing d most thorough and practical knowledge of physical science in all it's branches. His powers of organization are exceptional and he has proved himself we'll fitted to rule with prudence and tirmness where large numbers are concerned. He com pines the ripe scholarship and intimate acquaintance with all the best and most modern educational methods, v
 A well known lawyer who had three sons under MT Lowson's care says of him: II know no teacher, and it has been my fortune to know d good many, who in an equal degree combines the en- ergy, the tact, the general requirements, the organizing faculty and the thorough manliness of. character which distinguish Mir Lowson.''
 Another gentleman writes: ''He is one of the very few teachers of thorough competency who are capable of doing justice to the modern side of education" :" The object of the trustees in securing principal for the Academy with these qualifications has been to sustain and further the present high. standard of the institution and so give the youth of the town as good educational advantages as can anywhere be obtained.

The shepaug.

Little has been said Of late about the Saugatuck Valley road, but it Is, rot withstanding, being constantly carried forward. President Chapman of the Shepaug says that there is no doubt whatever, in his mind, of the speedy completion of the road from Hawleyville to Westport, with station ut Newtown Street, either on the main line or branch. The question of the branch appears to be still open, although many declare that the main line can't be run to Hawleyville, if brought to the Street at Redstone river.
 However, the branch to Lake Wara- maug appears to be assured. 4 dozen dump carts and double team with tools passed through Newtown, Wednesday bound, it is confidently said, for tht branch to the lake. As it is but foul miles long and the S20,000 has already been raised, the construction ought not require many months.
