infringement On a Patent.

ROCKVILLE, November 15.-Gotleib Reuter-, a well-known shoe dealer of this city, was served with papers yesterday, charging him with an Infringement on certain clasp patents which are the property of the Judson l.. Thompson manufacturing company. A bill has been filed in the United States court at Hartford summoning Reuter-, to appear at Hartford, the first Monday in De- cember. Reuter- bought three dozen heavy brogans of Boston jobber, and the clasps of the shoes were clever immitation of the well-known Judson buckle, now in general use throughout the country.

WhIMS OF FASHION.
Hints and Suggestions Regarding FoPeig
 and American Styles.

Hints and Suggestions Regarding Foreign
 and American Styles.
 Festooned strings of cut jet beads make almost entire bonnets in quo shapes.
 Uncut velvet in the piece and in rib bons is especially fashionable for black bonnets
 Steel passementerie on black dresses is in alliance with black and white de- signs that are so prevalent, and will be a great deal used.
 Among late millinery important ns are b. ack velvet sailor hats, with a. Prince of Wales cluster of black ostrich plumes set up in front. ,''
 The skirts, as worn at present, have, most of them, very deep gathers in back, with oIly a few plaits at the sides, and some slight drapery on the front.
 Velvet slee '-&, :n silk and wool gowns are still fashionable, but the velvet half-sleeve, that is. the close lower part of velvet, while tho full upper part is of the dress material, is more novel than tho entire sleeve of velvet
 Black hats will be worn with almost any of the new gowns, as most of them have black trimmings. Black with gold is the combination of the season, and black with orange and Spanish yellow velvet is most generally becoming.
 The pretty little coachman or Carrick capes will be worn this season, only made deeper with shoulder forms and usually Medici's collars which are as universally becoming for slim figures.
 Plaids should be made up on the bias as thus the rather stiff effect is avoided. Slender figures look well in them and stouter ones look more slender with the plaid cut crosswise.
 The exceedingly fiat appearance of the skirts as natural reaction from the enormous bustles, is, in it's place, giv- ing way to a very small bouffante effect in the back made by one ten-inch reed run in under the gathers. This is really great improvement in the hang of the skirt and probably will be maintained throughout fall and winter. There are a few small crinoline bustles for those who prefer them to reeds.-Home.

SEASON RAILROAD TICKETS.
New System to Go Into Effect on the
 New England.

New System to Go Into Effect on the
 New England.
 For some time past the passengers on the New York and New England rail road have had the choice of riding on package tickets, upon d mileage ticket, 60 or 100 ride ticket or ''season" ticket, running three months. For this season or quarterly ticket, card with dated squares for punching has hitherto been used. In lieu of this card ticket in book form will be substituted, and instead of being good only for a given calendar three months, the quarter of this new ticket begins on any day at the option of the purchaser, and though, like any season ticket, it expires in three months from date, it can be ridden out in much shorter period, as the holder desires. The price of the ticket, how ever, remains unchanged. Heretofore, to obtain a season ticket, the purchaser must wait until the beginning of the quarter now he can buy any day. This ticket comes cheaper than the sixty or one hundred ride ticket. and it's ad- vantage over the old arrangement is an important one to the passenger.

Report Received From tn
 AsSayers.

FnvOrable Report Received From the
 AsSayerS.
 The ore recently sent to New York from the Sandy Hook gold mine has undergone thorough scientific exami- nation, and the experts unhesitatingly say that gold in large quantities is to be found in the quartz. These specimens have been taken from different parts of the mine, and all of them, the experts say, seem to show large deposits of gold. The more enthusiastic capitalists who now own the mine are said to be pre- pairing to form an extensive joint stock corporation with a capital of S1 ,OO0, ,O0O. Some of those interested in the scheme are, however, inclined toward another assay before complete arrangements are made, and another examination of the quartz will be made during the coming month.

 ssAs a general thing, I think that no travellers abroad are so kindly treated by the people of countries visited as are Americans" remarked an acquaintance of mine who recently returned from be- yond the seas. stIt is true that they do not obtain any specially reduced rates from the hotels or shopkeepers, but they always are given the beet of everything, and receive first rate treatment in ex- change for the liberal prices they pay and for their usual generosity to those who render them services. But among the people at large they continually re- ceive kindnesses that are not accorded the general travellers of other nationali- ties. In Ireland, especially, where ex- pected to find hearts bowed down by weight of woe, my surprise was most complete. True, evidences of suffering can be seen on every hand, and yet in the face of it all the people are brave, ,pa- tient and hopeful, and would share their last crust with an American. Not until had spent days in Ireland did fully ap- preciate the touching lines of O'Reilly: No treason we bring from Erin, nor bring we
 shame or guilt.
 The sword we hold may be broken, but we have
 not dropped the hilt.
 The wreath we bring to Columbia is twisted of thorns not bays,e
 And the songs we sing are saddened by the
 thought of desolate days.
 But the hearts we bring for freedom are washed in the surge of tears, And we claim our right by a peoples fight outIiving thousand years.

would suggest that should to-mor- row prove a fair day the members of the common council after first attending to their religious duties, could spend a couple of hours to good advantage by taking a stroll along the Woodtick road below which the Mad river rushes in all it's glory. Probably two-thirds of the councilmen, who voted in favor of the Quassapaug water supply at the recent meeting know nothing whatever of the Mad river or its supply. Speaking of Quassapaug the Examiner says: If we take Quassapaug we must pay for ten or twelve water privileges, including the paper mill at Southford, which will grow to be very valuable when wanted for this purpose. In fact, aS the paper mill is an elephant on the hands of it's present owners there is a strong sus- picion that the whole thing is a scheme to get rid of it. This may be all right for the owners, but we protest against the public being saddled with the dead elephant. $400, ,000 is a big load for this city to carry in addition to it's present burdens. Give the people chance to vote on the Quassapaug scheme and it would be killed beyond resurrection.

He was fol- lowed by pretty girl across the aisle, and then nearly every passenger in the car repeated the performance.

George Thatcher, the burnt cork artist, who was here the other night, is regarded as a business man who draws the lines pretty straight, and it is his boast that he can size up beat many yards off. Not long ago, however,
 while they were playing in a small town, Thatcher admits that he was taken in in an artistic manner. The manager was on the door as usual look ing out for people who might try to
 crowd their way in without going through the formality of buying a ticket. Thatcher stood with him, as he is not obliged to appear until some time after the curtain goes up. A very gen. teel, bald headed man who had bought a "heaven" ticket came down and said to the manager: Excuse me, sir, but like to run in and speak to them a moment" He was allowed to pass in, but did not come out again. t'Go in and see if you can find him George, 5 said the manager. Thatcher went in, remarking, "rd know that bald head in thousand" but after a search he failed to find his man. He hurried back, blacked up and went on the end. While there he looked for the bald headed interloper but he was nowhere to be seen. After the show was over Thatcher hurried out to the door. "Find him yetT' he asked. "No," replied the manager, disconsolately, "he's the first one who has beaten me this season" Then the two watched tho audience as they filed out. Suddenly Thatcher nudged the other and said: ''There he is," pointing to curly haired individual with two ladies, "He's got a wig on.' And sure enough he had. The wig gag was a new one to the minstrels and they allowed the old fraud to depart in peace.
