SEAL SKIN SAooUEs.-In another column may be found the advertisement of Alfred Williams & Son, Al, 43 and 45 Pratt-st., Hart ford, Conn. This we'll known fur house is prepared to sell garments of their own manu- fracture, which out lasts goods that are made in large quantities by rule in the dull season. This old reliable fur house has now on hand a very large stock of seal skins, also garments made up ready for market.
 The New York Herald's London edition has been discontinued. It has been pub- lished at heavy loss, and the amusement proved, after awhile, to be worth less than it cost, even to Mir. Bennett. He contin- ues the London Sunday edition; and the Paris daily edition seems to be fourishing. Somehow, the Herald is better adapted to the Parisians than to the Londoners.
 How they cheated on the census up in Minneapolis is set forth in the revised count, which shows population of only 164, 736, or 26,000 less than by the first count. In St. Paul the revised count, not yet finished, has already unearthed the fact that 1900 too many persons were returned from four buildings in the first counts

BAD weather last week was bar to com plete success of the Rockville fair, yet the managers struggled through the adverse con. ditions of weather, and during intervals of sunshine accorded to patrons a good show. The days on which it was attempted to carry on the fair were Tuesday, Thursday and Sat day, and on each of these days rain fell. Those present were satisfied with the fair as managed in the best possible manner under circumstances, though it can hardly be other wise than that the expenditures were above the receipts The Southbridge fair, also held last week, shared in the misfortune of poor weather. It is fortunate that the Stafford Springs Society has in preparation good fair to console the disappointed fair goers oi Holland, Hampden, Worcester and Windham counties, as this week fairs are also in pro gress in Brooklyn and Meriden, Conn.,, and Palmer, Mass, and the weather is no better than last week.
