ness to COntinue-ur. Merriam's
Statement.
The firm of Quintard & Merriam, dealers
in fancy groceries, made an assignment
Wednesday to Warren L. Hall, the whole
sale fruit dealer. The firm consisted of E.
S.Quintard, E. P. Merriam and Fred Quin-
tard, all formerly of New Haven and well
known and popular here The Waterbury
Republican says:
The Messrs. Quintard are father and son
and were formerly railroad men, Els. hay
ing been superintendent of the Derby road
and Fred freight agent until its recent sale
to the Housatonic. Mr.. Merriam said last
night: "Ihe assignment was voluntary
one, and the reason for our taking such an
action was that we wanted to BEE just how we
stood. We have considerable money on
our books and it was not coming in very
fast so we thought it best to stop and have
thorough examination made. Neither of
the Messrs. Quintard had any previous
knowledge of the business and so far as
practical experience is concerned, 1 ran it.
Young Mr.. Quintard had charge of the
books, and during his recent illness had
to keep the accounts along with my former
WOrk. saw GnaG we were nOI SeCIluS
along as well as we should, and after q
conference with my partners it was deem
ed best to make an assignment. It is
probable that the Messrs. Quintard will
retire, but the business will be continued.
I had at one time an idea of assuming the
liabilities and taking the business,
but as I did not know just how we
| stood I changed my mind. I
consider it as good business IS there is
in Waterbury, and one that it would not
| pay to drop. We came here as strangers
and had to build up our business and buck
| against the established trade, but we
| knew that our store was something Water
| bury needed and we have done well, but
under large expenses, as we had three
partners to support. Besides our local
| business we have a thriving trade with
| outside towns which formerly used to
deal with Park & Tilford and with New
Haven firms. Probably the business will
be continued by a stock company with
| which shall most likely be connected.
cannot give any opinion as to how ou1
liabilities will be met until matters are
| settled. We shall be closed part of to-day
to take an exhaustive inventory, but will
| be open in the evening""

Care of Lambs.

from the American Dairyman.]
Lambs which are designed for the butch
er should be supplied with grain every
day, and be protected from cold storms
If their dams are large, are good mixers,
and are we'll fed, the lambs will make
pretty fair growth, even if they receive no
grain ration. But this gain will be decep-
tive. 1t will be directed almost wholly to
an increase in size, and but comparatively
little flesh will be laid on. Thus it will
come to pass that when the lambs are
large enough to be sold to the butcher
they will not be well fattened. This
means great deal of shrinkage when
they are dressed, and poor quality of
meat, which must be sold for low price
per pound, and even then it will not give
satisfaction. On some farms where sheep
are kept the case is even worse than this.
The ewes are not well fed, and sometimes
for this reason alone they do not yield suf-
fcient milk to keep the lambs doing well.
Coarse hay, with little or no grain or
roots, will keep sheep alive, but it will not
enable them to supply anything like the
quantity of nourishment which the lambs
should receive. The ewes which have
lambs should receive liberal quantities of
fine hay-we have found rowen the best for
this purpose-and either a ANAL quantity
of grain or some roots each day. This in
order to keep the sheep in vigorous health
and increase their yield of milk. In ad-
dition to this the lambs which are to be
fattened should be regularly grained. A
small pen should be fenced off from the
large one in which the flock is confined,
and there should be an opening large
enough to admit the lambs, but too small
to admit the sheep. In this small pen
troughs should be placed, from which the
meal is to be fed. Probably the old pro-
cess, oil-meal, is the best kind of grain for
lambs; but if this is not to be had, Indian
meal, if well ground, answers very we'll.
The quantity given should be small at first,
but is to be increased as the lambs become
larger and get accustomed to the grain.
This course of grain feeding should be
continued till the animals are ready for
the butcher. There are few, if any, other
kinds of farm stock which give such
prompt and large returns for liberal feed
ing as is made by lambs which are proper
ly fattened for market

LftchfieId Soldiers In New York Pr1s.
Ons in 1776.

Andersonville, Salisbury and the Libby
prisons were places of ease compared with
the British prisons in New York in the
revolution. Colonel (then Captain) Beebe
took company of thirty-six picked men
from this county to aid in the defense of
Fort Washington in the fall of 1776.
They were captured on the 10th of No
vember and taken to the Sugar House and
other prisons in New York. They were
exchanged within less than six weeks, on
December 81, 1776. Eleven of Colonel
Beebe's company started on their return,
six of whom died before reaching home.
One more returned afterwards, making q
total of but six out of thirty-six who sur
vived that short, though terrible ordeal.
All the rest died of smallpox, dysentery,
cold, hunger, thirst md bsrbarous treat
ment in prison.-Litchfeld Enquirer.

Wesley or WESLEYAN.

Many favorable replies are being reached
by the faculty of Wesleyan university at
Middletown from the alumni throughout
the country from whom they have asked
opinions on the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
the name to that of "Wesley" on the
ground that the present name has became
known as purely UNCONVENTIONAL which is
not SO as regards the regular collegiate
course afforded by the institute as well as
the theological. Besides there are many
other colleges and academies in the country
of the same name. 1t is thought that the
old form of the name by simply striking
off the two last letters will be adopted and
in the end tend to make the institute more
popular.

THE COURT RECORD.
Superior Court-Crimfnal Side-J Judge
Sanford.

Five of the accused in the Meramble case for
n1anslaughter felt considerably relieved when
the jury came in with verdict of acquittal yes
terday afternoon at $40 O'Clock after an hour
and ten minutes absence. The jury failed to
agree in the case of Roderick Atwood, the man
who has had charge of the town poor of Wood
bury, and were excused by the judge for over
night and will try again this morning to arrive at
a verdict. The five acquitted are Willis II.
Strong, Horace q. Minor and Charles E. Trow-
bridge, the selectmen of the town, and Mr.. and
Mrs Harvey Warner, who kept Mrs. Meramble at
their house for twenty one weeks for the sum Of
$3.50 per week.
The arguments were begun soon after 10
o'clock in the morning by the one from the state
attorneys son. John Doolittle, who has been as
slstlng him in the trial
The greater part of his argument WAS given
over to the quoting of the statutes concerning
negligence in taking care of aged and helpless
persons. He also described the journey of Mrs
miles of country roads, and said that her thigh
was broken on the way.
made the first reply for the defendants. He
made some facetious remarks at the expense of
DE- White. 81 am afraid, said the attorney,
wings Of his imagination to grow little in order
to vindicate his first report He said that he had
never read more horrible picture than the one
penned by the state attorney in his Indictment,
but it was not upon this information that the ac-
cused were to be tried but by the evidence the
state had utterly failed to prove the charges it
had made.
He reviewed the testimony of the defendants
witnesses to disprove the statements of the wit
nesses of the state that the woman was filthy and
her body covered with sores caused by ill treat
ment and frostbite. He closed with an eulogy to
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner, who took care of Mrs. Mer
amble for twenty one weeks.
Judge Blydenburgh, another of the counsel for
the defendants, came next. He made some hui
morous illusions to the states attorney which
caused the twelve faces of the jurymen to relax,
as well as the others in the court room In clos
ing his address he most eloquently contrasted
beautiful Woodbury. and cold prison walls, amid
GREATNESS silence in the court room, broken
only by the sobbing of Mrs. Warner and Mrs. At
wood, while Mr.. Atwood looked on with suspi-
cious moisture in his eyes.
The states attorney took up about an hour and
half of the afternoon with the closing effort
for the state. He made strong effort to carry
the minds of the jury beyond the realms Of rea-
sonable doubt as to the guilt of the parties. He
relied much on the testimony which had been
given to Coroner Mix in his investigation last
winter.
The judges charge to the jury took up little
less than half an hour and clearly set forth the
facts of the case, which, if anything, was slight
ly advantageous for the accused.
