GREENFIELD HILL.

A horse belonging to George Banks
was taken from the yard at Hattie
Gould's, last week Thursday morning,
by George Jacox, who, with his wife
and child, lived in the little house near
Uriah Perry's, owned by John Kealey.
Jacox was seen leading the horse about
O'Clock in the morning, by Simon Burr,
who was on his way to DR. Dunham's.
AS soon as the theft was discovered,
search was made and it was found that
Jacox-had left, bag and baggage. He
had an old wagon given him by Mr. Per-
ry and had picked up bits of harness suf-
ticient to hold horse and wagon togeth-
err. He had for some time talked of
going to New York State, whence he
came, last Fall and had also tried to Dor
row horse to drive to Danbury. He
had of late been working on the David
Parsons house in Weston. His wife took
in washing and he sometimes worked in
the fields as day laborers. Much of the
time, however, he was to be found on
the streets, doing nothing. The stolen
horse had been driven to Parlor Rock,
the day before it was taken and was not
in condition to travel far. Mr. Banks Sc
cured horse of John 2. Morehouse and
began search, Saturday morning, going
first to Easton. There Jacox had swap
ped the horse with r. c.. Wheeler, who
drove the Banks horse to Bridgeport,
Friday, got soaked with Park City rum
and left the team in West End stable.
while he was pulled in by the police and
lodged at North avenue. Mr. Banks re-
covered his horse, Saturday. Jacox, af-
ter leaving Wheeler's, di owe on to SYM
paug in the outskirts of Bethel, where
he took good horse of Michael Waters
and left Wheeler's old plug, escaping in
to New York State.
Mrs George Banks denies that she was
in debt to the horse stealing parties.

Miss Tones is spending the week at
Miss Harris's.
The fair, of which an announcement
has appeared in these columns, was car
xied to successful conclusion, last week.
1t was a social success. On the first
night, the crowd was very dense; teams
arrived from Westport, Southport, Green
field Hill and Fairfield and thronged the
new lecture room with visitors. In point
of attractions, the fair, this year, was
not behind its predecessors. The enter
tainments, given in a separate tent by the
young people, were up to those Of past
years in moral tone and also in attactiye-
ness. The art gallery, under the efficient
management of Misses Taylor and FL
wood, was a source of great amusement.
On the first night, Snowman Bunnell was
busy beating up visitors to these attract
ions, which he enjoyed himself and wish
ed to enjoy with others. AS far as re-
suits are concerned, the ladies' aid soci-
ETY. have every reason to congratulate
themselves. The profits of the fair are

Apple Frees Alcng Roadsidss.

Much of the droppings from horses
or other animals driven aloug the street
finds its way to roadsides, which are,
good places to grow apple
trees. Possibly when they come into
bearing some of the fruit will be taken
by passersby, but its owner can sfford
to give toll to the public for his use OF
land that is devoted to public service.
When the road is macadamized
the apple tree roots will run under
1t, taking that part Of the excrement
that is filtered through the stones
and is become the best possible plant
food. Some years ago we saw mac
adam road taken up for repairs, and a
complete network OF apple tree roots
was found under the stones, coming
from trees more than two rods distant,
as they were inside the fence in the LOT
adjoining the road. Each tree seemed
to have found this rich deposit Of fer
tility, and sent its feeding rootlets to
secure It's share. The owner said this
row of trees next the road had always
borne better than any others, and when
he saw the mass Of roots under the mac.
adam he knew the reason for the fact.

politics or from any sort of office-holding
or profit-shsfing in government. The
presence Of corruption in politics is greatly
overestimated. There are very few men
who want to violste the honor Of the re-
public or dishonor the record of their party.
No man who would debsuch the American

honest. The rirslries of politics, quarrels

politicians over office, are many and offer
shocking. But so in this poor world are
