called "rhe Oil Ponds" by the captains
Of the small crafts which ply In that vi

Dan LockwoOd's Great Effort.

Congressman-elect Lockwood away back in his school days at Hamburg was an orator of such note that he was chosen valedictorian of his class. He prepared for the event by ordering a new pair of shoes. Late in the after noon of the great day the shoes came But, good heavens! they wouldn't go on. Dan hadn't another pair fit for use. He summoned the shoemaker to a conference, and, while the perspira tion rolled off his face, he explained the situation.
 That's nothing" said Crispin; ''get a couple of eggs and break one into each shoe"
 Dan did so, and the result was charm ing. He went into those shoes like a ducks foot in the mud His vale dictory was the greatest effort of Lock woods career up to that date. The words were honeyed and the gestures as graceful as a snake swallowing a frog. All his friends and relatives were spellbound. But right in the midst o1 it the author stopped. Agony was in carnate in his features. His hair rose on end. He became pale and red in turns.
 What was the matter2 Had he for gotten his speech? No; he had just thought of those two egg omelets, and would have given all he had or ever hoped to have for a chance to laugh Buffalo Express.

A Rubber Sidewalk.

There is length of rubber sidewalk in Edinburgh, and I want to tell you it is the finest sidewalk in the world It is only about 9 feet long, and the side walk is about feet wide. The rubber is fluted so as to allow the water to run off quickly. and the surface is the most comfortable to walk on that can well be imagined. You can't slip if you try, and there is a spring and 'give'' that is most restful to the tired man.
 It was laid as an advertisement by a shopkeeper who sells 'macintoshes" and ''goloshes, as he calls rubber coats and rubbers, and although the expense must have been heavy I imagine it must have yielded good results. He told me the rubber was two inches thick and was laid on four inch bed of concrete. In four years it has shown no appreciable signs of wear, but mis- chievous boys have cut it in places Interview St. Louis Globe Democrat

A steam saw mill will soon be in opera tion upon the lot. B. w. Spur, of Falls Village and Lakeville, will take the lumber and timber, but the cord wood goes to Peirce & Freeman's lime kilna. A force of choppers and several yoke 't cattle are already at work upon the lot. Five large sleigh loads of scholars of the high school and intermediate de- partment left town Friday afternoon with flags flying and horns blowing, in- tent on having a good time while off on their sleigh ride The route taken by them was from this village to Clayton. thence through Canaan Valley to East Canaan and then home again. They un- loaded here in the street shortly before 4 o'clock, and everyone reported jolly time. It is to be regretted, however, that the primary department were not also taken, as the day was perfect and the sleighing extra, and we think that children old enough to be educated are old enough to enjoy sleigh ride. l A collision occurred on the Derby road near the station at Ansonia last Thursday morning, which delayed travel for about an hour.
