SHAyINGS ABLAZE.

The Flames Quickly Ex,inGuished by the
Chemical Engine.
The alarm at II 80 o'clock last night from
Box 81 was for a small fire in the rear of 10

was discovered by Special Officer Watson.
Nothing was burned but a lot of refuse in
the rear of the store. The fire is supposed
to have been caused BY some one careessly
throwing cigar or cigarette out of the
back window, which set in blaze a lot of
shavings, with which the yard is full. The
flames were quickly extinguished by the
chamical engine.

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of a
locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent
scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in
their very midst, is decidedly startling.
Such discoveries are made at every season,
in every part Of the Union. Subsequently,
when il is ascertained, as it invariably is at
such times, through the valuable expert
ence of some one who has been benefited
and cured, that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is thoroughly efficacious eradicator
of the malarial poison and a means of
terrifying the system against it, a feeling of
more security and tranquility reigns
throughout the whole neighborhood. Be-
sides the febrile forms of malarial disease,
dumb ague and ague cake are removed by
the potent action of the bitters, 10 which
science also gives its sanction as remedy
for rheumatism, dyspepsia, constipation,
liver complaint, debility, kidney troubles.
and all diseases impairing the organs of
digestion and assimilation.

A COUNTRY CoURrsHIP.l

Driving the COWS from the upper meadow
Beauty and Brindle and Bess-
Now in the sunlight, now in the shadow,
And now in the winds caress;
With song as sweet as at morn the Startling
Is wont to the skies to trill;
Moliie, the farmers daughter and darling,
Comes tripping adown the hill.
Purple and black are the braided tresses
Her dainty temples that crown;
Light is her step on the sward it presses,
AS fall of the thistle down.
The squirrels peek from the wayside hedges,
As the maiden moves along,
And count it chief of their privileges
To list to her iocund song.
Down where the alders and slender rushes
Border the rivulets banks,
And the widened sweep of the water gushes
Under bridges broad planks;
Whstling love-song, in broken snatches-
His hat pushed back from his brows-
Robin, the miller, awaits and watches
For the coming of the cows.
Up to their knees in the stream, the cattle
Drink deep of its crystal flow;
Little they care for the lovers prattle
Or the bliss the twain may know;
Their heaving sides with their draughts dis
tended,
They enter the path again.
And CROP the grasses, with heads low Bonded,
On either side of the lane.
The shadows deepen; the due is sparkling
With diamonds all the meads;
And faint and far, in the distance tinkliBg,
The sound of the bells recedes.
Still on the bridge where the water glistens,
As the moonlight ON it falls,
The miller talks, and the maiden listens,
But the COWS are in their stalls.

The Tunnel Through the Mountain.

The preliminary surveys for the connection
with the Gilbert tunnel scheme are not yet
completed by Engineer He'll of Bridgeport,
who returned home on Wednesday with the
intention of coming here next Monday. The
work is being done with great care In order
that when fully completed the location of the
dam on Mad river, the canal thence across to
Rugg brook, and other features of the work
will be so wisely selected and laid out that no
revision will be required.
When the survey maps and pro6les are
finished they will be accompanied with the
engineers estimate of cost, and then the peo-
pie of the borough will be made acquainted
with the amount OF money they will be
asked to vote out OF their pockets to furnish
Winsted with an abundant supply of water
for all time-not only for fire and domestic
purposes, but for the use of manufacturers
and for supplying water motors also.
Mr.. Gilbert's proposition is to pay the cost
of tunneling the mountain "A 1000 feeD pro-
vided others will pay for the other features
etc. The cost of the tunnel will be about
$4,000, and we hear that reliable con-
tracting engineers can be named who will
guarantee to bore the mountain for that fig
ure.
1t is conceded by every observant resident
of Winsted that in consequence of the in
creased building of residences around High
land lake. and with more general use of it's
waters for boating, fishing, etc., that the
time fast approaches when the water main
will necessarily have to extend to Little pond
in order to obtain water fit for domestic pur-
poses. The water shed of that pond, how
ever, is SO limited that Engineer Hull shows
by a careful estimate that Winsted's water
demand through the street mains could not
be supplied from it, so that the tunnel
scheme seems as much of necessity to the
people of the borough generally as for the
| improvement of Winsted's water supply for
manufacturing purposes.-Winsted Herald.

THROUGH LAW TO JUSTICE.

A man in England gave another an "un-
divided quarter of horse. The animal re-
NAMED in the possession of his trainer, who
was duly notified of the gift. The man who
made the gift afterward sold the whole
horse. Legal proceedings were begun to
find out whether the gift amounted to any,
thing or not. It was decided that an owner
of chattel can convey it to another by bar
ter, or by sale, or by will, or by gift, and in
no other way. He may give it verbally or
by deed, but even in case of the most solemn
writing 1t is necessary to deliver the gift, to
hand 1t over. Until that be done there is no
gift, but only a promise of gift, which at
law is not enforceable. The delivery is
essential, not as proof of the gift, but as part
of it. something being uEdone and the act re-
naming incomplete 30 long as delivery be
withheld. Case after case was cited
deciding in almost every form of words that
given thing must be delivered, or it was
not effectually given, az 20 verbal gift of
chattels passes no property to the donee"
But did the man to whon the quarter of
the horse was given finally get its He did.
The judges awarded the disputed gift to the
man to whom it was given, not because the
gift was legal one, but because there was
fraud In the bill of sale, the eircumstan ces
making the buyer trustee for the benefit of
the donee as regards the proceeds of one
fourth of the undivided horse. And so all
is as right as 1t can be.
