DANBURY's AERIAL ExTENSION FIRE TRUCK
 FAD SHAPE.

Danbury's extension ladder was not at the recent fire there. The News' explains the reason as follows: The ladder. to commence with, he said, Is warped badly, and on &C., count of its length Is left of the truck in or der that said truck can get in the house. The fire chief has instructions, however, that in the case of @ big fire, orswhen he thinks the extsnsion-ladder necessary, to strip the truck and bring out the extension. ladder. When the ladder was wanted at the time of the fire, it was found that the truck horses were not ct the truck, although the department have winter blankets for the horses. This was Q mistake, perhaps, and 1t was because the horses were not there that the ladder was not at the fire. The member of the fire commit- tee further stated that the purchase of the heavy truck for Danbury was Q mistake to begin with. It was either condemned or dis carded by theS6re department in New York city, and was probably purchased because they thought they had secured a bargain. It is both too clumsy and heavy for the depart ment. He intimated that probably the com- mittee would recommend to the next annual city meeting the purchase of an aerial truck and the selling of the present one.

QUEER OLD NurxEa LAWS.

Judge o. Fl. Cowell of Waterbury, says The Waterbury Republican, has 6 rare old book, entitled ''The Acts and Laws of His Msjesty's English Colony of Connections published in 1750 and which contains many unique and queer laws. For instance g sec. tion of one of tho sets provides: That the sslectmen, from time to time, shall make diligent inquiry of all houssholders, within their respective towns, how they are fur. uished with Bibles, and if upon inquiry any householder be found without one Bible at least, then the selectmen shall warn said householder forthwith to procure one Bible at least for the use and benefit of their families" The selectmen are also required to "have a vigilsnt eye and inspection over their brethren and neighbors." A person having been educated in, or having made profession of, the Christian religion, who shall turn atheist or infidel, for the first offense ''shall be incapable to have or enjoy any offices or employment, ecclesiastical, civil or military" and for the second offense civil disabilities are required to cause their children "at least to learn some short ortho- dox catechism without book" All per- sons are "required on the Lords day
 carefully to apply themselves to the duties of
 religion and piety, both publicly and private ly." Absence from church, except by reason of sickness or necessity, renders the offender liable to fine of three shillings for the first offense. No person is permitted to leave his home on Saturday except to attend church, unless upon matter of necessity or mercy, under penalty of five shillings. A person who ia convicted of "profane swearing" and who fails to pay up his fine of six shillings, shall be set in the stocks not exceeding three hours and not lees than one hour.
