 WATERBURY METHODS. There is no chance for Olerkinism in the selectmen's office in Waterbury as an entire~ ly different system of conducting the outside poor account prevails. Only small per- centage of the orders are cash orders. When ever a cash order is issued receipt is uni- formly required of the party in whose favor it is drawn. A large majority of the orders are what is called sstore orders;" that is, parties for whom they are drawn can pur- chase at the expense of the town goods to the specified amount from the dealer named in the orders The orders are all numbered and payable in trade only by the merchant named. At the expiration of the month the merchant returns to the selectmen the slips received during the month and gets them Republican.
 THE sToRRs SCHOOL.
 The feeling with regard to the Storrs school is very strong among the farmers. Says the Hartford Courant: ''The resolutions printed elsewhere show how a large body of them from Hartford and Litch6eld counties feel and what they want Naturally the resolution that has passed the house is taken as direct hit at the trustees, who are such men as T. s. Gold of Cornwall, Congress man W. E. Simonds of this city, Professor Johnson of Yale, J. H. Hale of South Glas- tonbury, and others, who have given and are ready to give intelligent work to the school in which they are interested. It is not be- lieved that the senate will pass the house bill nor that the house would pass it now, If it had a chance at it. The feeling is too strong and has too good basis." The reso- lutions referred to denounoe the action of the house in passing resolution providing for special paid commission to erect build ings at the Storrs school in accordance with plans four years old, and entirely unsatisfac- tory to the trustees and friends of the school, and not in keeping with the demands of the times.
