 Agents of the humane society visited Lucius Wheeler at the Centre few days since and found his stock of seven horses, four oxen and several head of other cattle in pitiable condition from want of care and food. One horse was dead and an- other so far gone that it was ordered to be killed. One of the neat cattle was also dead and the rest in famishing condition. The agents had visited MT. Wheeler before and obtained promise of better care of his stock, which promise he failed to keep. This time the stock was taken from him and placed where it would receive comfort able care and feed. Why any person should neglect their cattle or horses so that they can be of no profit or gain to them, to say nothing of cruelty, is hard to imagine.
 Deputy Sheriff Levalley arrested a young man named Farnum one day last week, and brought him b fore Justice Sumner, charged with being too intimate with the fourteen year-old daughter of Chas. T. Crane As the law forbids mak- ing love to young lady unless she be at least the pleasing age of sixteen or more, rvif hn Of %o ba law in this case seems to have been broken and the parents feelings wounded The case was adjourned over for day and in the interval the broken law was mended and wounded feelings healed, so it is said, by the young man paying $300. Thus he was allowed to go free and sin, or not sip, no more, according to circumstances.
 Those having money deposited in the | Willimantic Savings Institute (and there are many in town) are not very pleasant over the prospect of being kept from draw ing their money for an indefinite length of time, by Judge Carpenters injunction re- straining the officers of the bank from paying out any of the principal to deposit ors. When they deposited their money they entered into-a contract with the insti- tuition, the specifications of which were contained in the book given each deposit or as an evidence of the amount deposited and by which the depositors agreed to be governed, and which was supposed to be equally binding on the other party. The constitution of the United States says that s'No state shall pass a law impairing the obligation of contracts" The depositor having loaned the institute his money as per contract as printed ill the bylaws to which he has agreed, and, having com. piled with the agreement to give four months notice of intention to withdraw their money, we fail to see how the state can pass law to annul the written con- tract. If such an. act is legal, then the de- positor is at the mercy of the powers that be and can be kept out of his just dues for all time. This kind of snap law will hard ] ly stand the test with written obligations.
