 This elegant picture represents young lady standing in beautiful room, near a half-open door, surrounded by all that is luxurious, while the young man, her lover, is seen in an adjoining room asking the con- sent of her parents for their daughter in marriage. The fine interior decorations, to- gether with the graceful position of the beautiful girl is in keeping with the senti- ment of the picture. It must be seen to be

The growth in the Housatonic valley lies between 1S40 and 1860, the gain in popula> tion in the two decades being 2,6S6. The last ten years has seen decline in that secs ton of near 2,O0O, bringing its total down lower than that of 1920.
 The central section of the country, con- sisting of Woodbury, Roxbury, Bethlehem, Washington, Morris, Litch6sld, Warren,
 Goshen and Norfolk, has done but little manufacturing. It's highest population WAS reached in 1910. Since that time it has shown gradual decline amounting in all to

 been, the prosperous section of the county.
 It's first start, between 1920 and 80, indicates
 the time when the Wolcotts began manufac-
 turing in Wolcettville (now Torrington) and
 when the making of clocks started in Ply- mouth. The completion of the Naugatuck railroad afforded the outlet needed for the growing industries of Plymouth, Torrington and Winchester and since that time popula. tion in that section has doubled.
 As whole, however, the local census is
 not a pleasant subject of contemplation for the Litch6eld county patriot. In our center towns the slow decline of previous decades has been accelerated to very rapid pace. In the Housatonic valley, the advance made since 1S40, which was practically maintained till 1880, has completely collapsed in 1890. Nor, barring the magnificent boom in Tor l rington, is the eastern part of the county prospering over much. Plymouth and New l Hartford lose; Thomaston barely holds it's | own, and the gain in Winchester is hardly what one would expect from an old manu- | featuring town, now a railroad center.

BREwER HENRY wEIDEMANN Called Upon to Explain she Fact That l
 she Stamps on Empty Kegs Had Not |
 Been CancelIed-A Prosecution may
 Follow.
 There is probably some trouble ahead for Henry Weidsmann, the brewer, from the fact that discoveries were made yesterday of stamps on empty beer kegs which had not been cancelled according to law. In the morning Deputy Collector Pickett, while down at the Derby depot, had his attention called to this fact while man was loading lot of empty kegs. There proved to be quite number that had stamps practically as good as new. He ordered the driver to take his team up to the postofice, and two of the kegs were taken as evidence.
 MT. Weidemann called at the internal reve- nus office later and gave his version of the matter. He said he had always been careful about cancelling stamps. The kegs com plained of had been shipped to Ansonia for the Fourth of July trade, and in the rush at- tending the shipping of beer at that time he said the cancellation of stamps might have been neglected.
 He assured the collector that there was no intent to defraud the government and that the kegs had been used but once with the present stamp attached.
 Mir. Weideman's explanation was accepted seemingly for the time being, but after MT. Weideman had left Deputy Collectors Pickett and Gaffey determined to make more thor ough investigation and yesterday afternoon they visited several places where Weideman was known to sell his beer. They visited two places on State street, in each of which the game state of affairs exist ed, and when they cane to Hollin- gers saloon on Congress avenue quite number of kegs were found stamped but uncaucelled, and from two kegs l the beer was being drawn. with the stamps l uncancelled or destroyed. In the place the collectors found stamps that were not cans l celled which had become detached from the keg. In fact, nearly all the stamps found in this condition were easily detachable The collectors took one or two kegs from the place as evidence. All this made their sus- plc1ons deepen and report of the case will be made to Collector Hutchinson. MT. | We1demann must make his explanations l cover wide range of deficiencies or else be | prosecuted.
 1 The law requires every manufacturer to
 cancel all stamps on his packages before
 leaving his possession, and the man who
 purchases the package must destroy the
 stamp. The penalty is $100 for each of fense.

Their Decrease In Population as lllus- trated by LitchAeld County Farming Towns.

Their Decrease In Population as lllus-
 trated by LitchAeld County Farming
 Towns.
 The Litch6eld Enquirer, in summing up the census returns for Litchfeld county, after printing the returns for that county, remarks ss folllowa:
 It will be observed that the substantial gains are in Torrington, Winchester and Watertown; the rest of the towns fall of, or show but slight increase in population. This is, for the most part, 8 farming county and, like other purely farming towns through out New England, most of our towns have suffered very serious decline in popula- tion. As an agricultural community our prosperity reached its highest point in 1910. Since then it has been declining, though not very heavily till of late. The largest propor- tional loss is to be found in our smallest towns. In 1910 the population of Bethle- hem was ], ,115, that of Warren 1,O96. The former has fallen to 544, the latter to inhabitanis now that the had eighty years ago. In fact the growth of the county for the past thirty years has been confined to few manufacturing towns on it's eastern side. Taking the four towns of Win chester, Torrington. Plymouth Qncluding Thomaston) and New Hartford by themselves in one column and the rest of the county in another we have the following results:

THE COURT RECORD.

Probate Court-Judge Robertson.
 A large Hamden delegation attended the hearing on the administration account of the estate of the deceased Dallas G. Benham of Hamden yesterday. The administrator is Willis Benham, brother of the deceased, and Charles E. Baldwin is grandfather and guardian of the deceased man's daughter, to whom all the property was left. He alleges that the administrator sold some of the real estate too cheap, also sold the milk route be- low par and charges too much for his ser> vices as administrator. The fuff estate Is valued at $2,4S3 sS and the administrators bill is $2,2S095. Judge Robertson reserved his decision. Benham @ little while ago un- successfully pstitioned the probate court to have Baldwin removed from the office ot guardian because he kept the girl heir, Ella I. Benham, in a house built on spiles in the water.
 Isaac Rosenberg was appointed adminis- istrator of the estate of Mrs. Charles RI. Ball. MT. and Mrs. Ball died within a short time of each other, the husband dying first, and there is some question about the property which each of them owned.

Fancy Prices for Mutton.

In speaking Of the value OF the mutton
breeds, the Western Agriculturist says:
The large mutton breeds of sheep make
profitable lambs that sell at fancy prices
at all seasons of the year, especially at
Christmas and in early spring. F. j..
Vlcery of Dwight sold in Chicago seven
ty-three head of Cotswold sheep, forty
of which were ewes. They averaged l35
pounds and sold for S5.75. The same
day W. Fl. Wynkoop of Avon sold five
choice Christmas lambs at Sc. 40, and
two yearling wethers at So. 40.
The New York City Christmas markets
were supplied with lambs thirty to fifty
days old at $40 to Sl2 each. This all
takes good management, good early
maturing breeds and extra care to feed 4,
shelter and market to the best ad-
vantage. There are great possibilities in
sheep breeding but no scrubs need apply.

FLOODED STOCK.

Texans Beginning to Fully Appreciate 1t as
an Element of Profit in Their Business.
The great difference that now prevails
and has for long time prevailed be-
tween the price per 100 pounds brought
10y good graded beef cattle and the ordi-
nary range steer of Texas of the same
weight, has put Texas stockmen to
thinking. and the grading up fever has
increased in all parts of the cattle-raising
portions of the state. The result of this
is an increased demand for blooded male
cattle for breeding purposes, and the
further result viii be that in a few years
there will be no state in the Union that
can show better cattle than Texas.
Already the grade OF cattle in the state
is greatly improved over what it was ten
years ago, but this is but the beginning
of the grand advance movement. There
is money in it and thas is what CATTLE
