the company, when interviewed this
morning, said that oat of a capital of
500, 900 only $4,000 was held by Wa
terbury men. The gentleman said that
the company had not been treated fairly
in this city.
1t was intended to purchase the Car
rington factory from the Scovill COM
pany, but they wanted tho earth. The
rent was very high and several of the
Waterbury stockholders thought that
they ought to receive one hundred per
cent dividend on their Investment.

condition, turning out four machines =

capacity of fifteen machines per day.
Forty men are employed at present.

Several months ago the DEMOCRAT

of the potato crops. In a few days the

Acting upon the advice of the commit

An Old Maids Treasures.

Among the old customs still in vogue
in France that of boarding up linen is
one of the most inveterate. The fol-
lowing is singular example of this
habit: An old maid. seventy-eight years
of age, died recently at Tocqueville.
This person, who possessed rather q
large fortune, lived with extreme parsi-
mony. Her only luxury, her only ex-
penditure, was for linen, which she laid
by in her closets. An inventory made
after her death proves that in fourteen
closets she had in reserve more than
500 pairs of stockings, nearly 600
chemises, the enormous quantity of 100
dozen napkins, twelve dozen sheets, an
innumerable quantity of caps, handlzer-
chiefs, etc.; and, lastly, linen cloth
sufficient to provide for the wants of 500
persons. Spare Moments.

q Few Weeks ago.

SuFFIELp, Jan 6.-One of the two
cattle belonging to S. F. Skies, which, it
was feared, were bitten by his mad dog
about three weeks ago, has run mad.
Both have been killed to avoid further
trouble and exposure. Mr. Skies does
not think that the cattle were bitten,
but that they were infected by the dog
thrusting his nose and muzzle, while
frothing. into the cattle's mouths and
noses. One of the cattle was a valuable
thoroughbred Holstein, purchased last
fall. Mr. Skies Will not consider the loss
il this only proves to be the last of the
mad dog affair, and feels very thankful
that, so far as he knows, none of his
family or himself have been bitten or
infected by the mad animals. His
neighbors also feel that thoy were none
too soon in disposing of their dogs.
