Houaatonic Dam Quits Roaring.

Ever since the great dam across the
Housatonic river at Birmingham, Conn.
was built. fifteen years ago, the people
on both sides Of the river have been an
moved by the rattle and shake Of their
doors and windows, due TO the trembling
Of the earth from the weight of the fall
ing water.
Recently it has been noticed that the
Earring had ceased entirely. This new
experience WAS Mt first almost as bad AS
the jar. People had become accustomed
to go to sleep by the roar of the dam and
the shaking Of their windows, and they
were wakeful and restless without it.
On top Of the dam have always been
placed in dry weather hashboards about
eighteen inches high to increase the
storage capacity. In the winter these
are taken off to allow the ice 10 float over
without injury TO the dam. These flash
boards are held in place by hundreds OF
upright iron rods. which were this season
left in place by some carelessness. II is
noticed now that the immense volume of
water flowing over the dam does not fall
in solid column to the apron below, hut
is divided and broken up into spray like
sheets. which strike with kissing noise
instead Of roar.

Charles Clark, who lives out eight
miles toward Morrison on ranch,
started in TO Denver Saturday with his
wife in a light buggy to which was
harnessed newly broken colt which
was making his trial trip in single
harness. Near Valverde the colt took
sudden fright at something and made
two or three plnnges, overturning the
rig and precipitating Clark into a patch
of cactus by the side of the road He
was thrown with such force that his leg
was broken below the knee so that the
large bone pierced through the skin. His
face was terribly lacerated by the cacti
and some of it penetrated four thick
nesses of clothing and lodged itself
half an inch into the flesh. His wife
was carried some distance further. when
she, too, was hurled into the cactus and
sustained several severe bruises in the
face and chest Beyond thorough shak-
ing up she was not badly injured.
In the evening Mr.. Clark was called
upon by reporter, who found him

The report in circulation that DR.. J. II.
Hanson, for so long a time principal of
Coburn Classical Institute and the school
which preceded it, has resigned, is incor-
rect. He will continue his labors the COM
ing year as heretofore, but at the last an
nusl meeting of the trustees he suggested
that it would be advisable for them to be
on the lookout for some one to fill the
position, as he might be compelled to resign
next year by reason of i'll health. The
venerable Doctor has been engaged in
teaching for about half century, and is
one of the ablest instructors in the country
The cause Of education will sustain a
great loss when he drop, out of the ranks !;
we hope that he will continue to be actively
connected with the Institute for many years
to come. To those who have been familiar
with Waterville and her institution, in the
years that are past. the idea of the lnsti-
tute without DR.. Hanson seems about as
anomalous as that of the play of Hamlet
