GREENS FARMS.

An example of the light in which many people regard the Consolidated road is shown by the statement that, in the con- demnation of land proceedings against Austin and Erwin Jennings, all witness es for the defence came willingly, while those for the railroad could be obtained only by subpoena and were then but in- different witnesses for the road. The hearing on this case, which began last week Monday, was continued on Friday and Engineer Curtis, the chief surveyor of the road, was the first witness. He told why the land was wanted and said that it would be necessary to take strip wider than at first proposed, because the embankment would require considerable slope and there must be room at the bot tom for fences. He was followed by John Elwood, who thought that the property was damaged about $3500, but became quite confused under the incisive cross-questioning of Judge Glover of Fairfield, counsel for the Jenningses. Francis Whitehead placed the damage at $3500, but could hardly tell the reason ing by which he reached this conclusion. Selectman Rufus Wakeman of Westport estimated the value of the Jennings prop erty at $11 ,000; the damage at $4OOO. Judge Silas Burr Sherwood of Westport probate district was inclined to place the damage rather over $4OOO. This finished the testimony for the railroad and Erwin M. Jennings, whose land near by is also condemned, was put on the stand by the defence and examined at great length. He was followed by Burr Curtis of Bridgeport, who, as an expert mover of buildings, thought that the cost of mov- ing the Jennings homestead would be fully 5000. The hearing then adjourned to Tuesday, April 28.

 It was received with much applause and considered by many as being better than ssBox and Cox" In the "Skewl,o H. Fairchild read an original composit- ion in verse, which was the hit of the evening. During it's reading, the audi ence were kept in continual laughter, for it was very witty, being hits on different individuals of this village, though it did not contain anything that should give of fense. We hope Mir Fairchild may be in- duced to have it published ill the BEE, as it is well worth reading. Mrs Booth de- serves credit for the pretty manner in which she arranged the stage for the 'sPuddifoots.
