Frank Miner, of East Hartford, was fa- tally shot by two vagrants who were drink ing from bottle and singing under tree about 9.10 last Monday evening. At re- quest of some ladies, MT. Miner requested the roysterers to move on, and got the shot in reply. Miner died on Tuesday evening. The assailants were captured about o'clock Tuesday evening by Officer Ennis of Hartford and Sheriff Moore of East Hartford. They are Hazen Bellware and Thomas Golden, both of Glastonbury At the time of the shooting the men drop ped 8 bundle containing some boots wrap ped in paper from Strong's shoe store in Hartford, and the officers working upon this clue obtained description of the men from the clerk who did up the bun. de. When discovered Bellware attempted to draw 8 revolver on the sheriff, who told him to hold up his hands and then quickly secured him. Both men are married. BelIWare confessed that he did the shoot ing. but to the charge of assault with in- tent to kill, both men pleaded not guilty.
 Three items from the same page of the Hartford Courant, July 22d:
 "E. F. Reilly of Meriden, while walking up the road that leads to the reservoir Sun. day. killed rattlesnake with his cane. When measured the snake was found to be over five feet and had seven rattles
 "Within few days there have been killed near the residence of MT. Levi c Newell, in East-st., Southington, rattle snake with ten rattles, large red adder, and black snake nearly six feet long,"
 ssThe New London Telegraph says: sIt has been the popular belief for some time past that rattlesnakes had disappeared from this part of the state, but last week a farmer living three miles back from the ferry landing in Groton killed snake with eight rattles, in his dooryard, and during the past spring two others were dispatched in that section. It would seem as though rattlers were getting plentiful again. .

The following Boston dispatch, we are happy fo say, is not applicable to this To. cality, where no irreparable damage has as yet been done by drouth 'The dam age in New England by the recent drought is now past recovery, whatever the future weather. Some northern localities have been favored with showers during the past week, but most of the districts have been without rain sufficient for growing sea. son for weeks. Corn and tobacco on low. lands are still in fair condition. Potatoes are much injured except the early plant. ings. Pastures are drying up, rendering early feeding of stock necessary. Streams are low and the beds of shallow creeks and lakes are dry. Grass is the only abund. ant crop, and 8 large yield of excellent hay has been cut and secured. The second crop is of little value and will not be cut except on bottom lands."

TIE first estimates published of populations of leading cities and towns prove to be quite faulty. New York shrinks 15O,OOO, and proves to have but about a million and a half. New Haven will exceed the first esti- mate by 2,OoO, giving it s5,00O, if the last "estimate" is correct.
 TIE failure of the potato crop this year, if it occurs, will be unfortunate. A good yield of early potatoes this year would have been a bonanza to farmers, but up te the middle of July nearly all early potatoes in the borough market were supplied from regions farther south. The early potato crop was failure, and now drouth threatens the later yield.

rreatment for Partial Asphrxla.

In regard to the treatment OF persons
overcome with gas several suggestions
were made by different speakers at the
recent meeting of the American Gaslight
Association at Toronto. The most prac-
tical were those quoted on the authority
of a prominent physician.
l. Take the man at once into the fresh
air. Don't crowd around him.
2. Keep him IN his back. Don't raise
his head or turn him on his side.
8. Loosen his clothing at his neck.
4. Give a little brandy and water, not
more than foul t-ablespoonfuls of brandy.
Give the ammonia mixture tone part in
ell, aromatic ammonia to sixteen parts
water in small quantities at short in
t~eryals, a t~easpoonful every two or three
minutes.
3. Slap the face and chest with the wet
end Of a towel.
O. Apply warmth and friction if the
body or limbs are cold.
Z. If the breathing is feeble or irregular,
artificial respiration should be usea and
kept up until there is no doubt that it can
| no longer be of use.
s. Administer oxygen.-College Record.

The Evils of Elastic Carriers.

Inc EVllS OF ELASTIC G0rterS.
One of the most frequent causes of
obstruction in the circulation is the
elastic garter.
Children should never wear them at
all, as the stockings can be perfectly
kept up by elastic straps to the waist
band. Ii carriers are worn it is impor-
tant to know how to wear them with
the least risk of harm. At the bend
of the knee the superficial veins of
the leg unite, and go deeply into the
under part OF the thigh beneath the
hamstring tendons. Thus a garter
below the knee obstructs all the SUI
perficial veins. but if the garter is
above the knee the hamstring ten
dons keep the pressure off the veins
which return the blood from the legs.
Unfortunately most persons are in
ignorance of the above facts and APP
ply the garter below the knee.-M9S.

A Pretty Formula Tor a Correct walk.
A graceful walk is a rare charm,
and one worth taking a little trouble
to acquire. Someone has given ladies
q pretty formula for walking cor
rectly, as follows:-Fancy a slender
cord about your chest, just beneath
the arms, the ends of which an angel
bears aloft, tluttering just above your
head, and walk so gently and
smoothly and erectly that the frail
cord shall remain taut, yet not be
permitted to break. Remember, too,
to hold yourself firmly at the waist;
step lightly on the ball rather than
the heel OF the foot; do not bend the
knees, except very, very slightly, in
taking a step, and keep the toes in a
straight line rather than turned out
ward.
