INsTfTUTEs.-A writer in the Farm
ers' Friend, speaking of farmers in
stitutes says: "Many of the old states
of the union are holding what are
called farmers institutes, where the
farmers meet, under competent in
structor, for the purpose Of discussing
all questions which relate to agrlcul-
ture and its kindred branches. From
what we have been able to gather
from reports of these institutes in the
agricultural papers they are of pract:-
cal utility, AMI lasting benefit to those
farmers who are enterprising enough to
attend them. In most of the states
they are supported by state spproprla-
tion." The state agricultural college
of this city has held series of four of
these Institutes during this school
year, one at Corvallis, one at Salem, at
Hillsboro, and at Roseburg, and each
one was quite well attended, and they
have been the means of promoting
and accomplishing great coed.

The Celebrated Boston Doctor,

Last Tuesday closed the fourth day of the professional visits of Dr w. Fletcher Hall from the justly celebrated Poly pathic Medical Institute of Boston, Mass, at the branch which has been established in Bridgeport but two weeks. The greatest excitement has been produced, the only one who ever visited our section who from a scientific knowledge of the structure of man, could without ques- tions or looking at the tongue, or feel ing the pulse, describe to his patient in a moment of time, without any previous knowledge of the case or any informa- tion from the patient, every ache and pain even better than the patients could themselves.
 This to the intelligent mind, is ample evidence that he is better qualified to cure disease than one who has to be told all the symptoms and then guess at the remedy. His past record proves this to be true. During these visits many have called at his office at 291 State street, Bridgeport, Conn, and to all alike have been given free consultation, free ad- vice, and no one asked to take treatment unless they desired to do so.
 Certainly this should convince anyone that Dr Hall and his colleagues have confidence in their treatment, which has made for them the largest institution in the country, at Boston. They will con= tinue to g i've the same free consultation to all who may call at 291 State street, every Monday from 10 a. m. to s p. m., and every Tuesday from 10 a. m. to

BOARD OF FINANCE.

Refuse an Extra Appropriation for
 Fire Purposes and Recommend a
 Tax of Eighteen MilIs.
 The adjourned meeting of the board of finance was held last night, with Mayor Boughton, Messrs Rametti, Webster and Munson present. A re- commendation from the board of fire commissioners that an additional appro- priation of S2,OOO be granted for the pur- pose of introducing the ''call' system into the fire department was lost. Al derman Ramettl vigorously opposed the measure, declaring that 1t was part of the scheme to disorganize the Phoenix Fire company.
 The estimates partly agreed upon left the amount to be raised by taxation $150, ,04O, which would require 16.7 mills tax. Mayor Boughton and Alder man Rametti were in favor of reducing the appropriations and ordering a 16 mills tax. Messrs Munson and Webster favored an IS mills tax and carried their point. Mayor Boughton announced his intention of voting for a Is mills tax when the matter reaches the court of common council.

 NEW HAVEN, December 7.-Accord- ing to the editor of the Weekly Record real estate and banking business has been particularly light during the week ending Thursday. This is accounted for by the fact that it was holidayIweek, and that many business men not only left town on Thanksgiving day but did not return to the world of finance until Monday so the business week to them contained only three days. New build ing operations were practically sus- pended and new projects temporarily shelved until after Thanksgiving. This week, business and building are going with a boom in the state. The clear frosty weather has made retail mer. chants happy, their trade is excellent and promises well for the holidays. The report next Friday is expected to make an interesting and creditable showing for Connecticut.
