Rockville voted last Saturday to lay a tax of six mills on ratable property Voters claim that poll tax is not legal and will refuse to pay it, and it's legality will probably have to be decided by the courts. The action of the city is based on an opinion of ex-Jndge Loomis that, according to the city charter, no property tax can be legally collected without lay ing poll-tax.

WINDHAM's CLOSING DEBAUoH.-The reign of license in this town ended Satur- day night in an extensive carousal, there being large number of drunks not only among adults but boys also, and night was made hideous by the drunken brawls, lasting until broad daylight Sunday. It is earnestly hoped that the no-license law will be enforced with a rigidity that will prevevent any like occurrence during the existence of the new law. Such nights proceedings was disgrace, greatly en- hanced by the alarming number of drunk en bows.

 ened, as no one seemed interested in the work; then MT. and Mrs. Wm. Wallen took the matter in hand and succeeded in raising including the first sum pledged twenty seven dollars and twenty-five cents; the largest sums given were by Mrs. H. F. Dimock and Mir. Wm. A. Bab- cock, who together gave more than two- thirds of the whole. From the state came g check for five dollars, so in the hands of the committee has been thirty-two dol lars and twenty-five cents. A set of out line maps, map of Connecticut, one doz- en erasers, zinc to put under the stove, and new curtains for the windows have been bought. The putting up of the new maps intensifes the dipginess of the walls and overhead, so that whitewashing is to be next in order. Since the opening of the present term of school the black boards have been newly slated, window glass has been set, desks have been mend- ed, and though many things are lacking to make the sehool-room just what a school-room ought to be, yet there has been an advance toward comfort and use. Some money still remains in the hands of the committee, which will be spent for the school-room this week.

Broadcloths are not less worn than usual. There is reason for wearing them more than usual, a double reason. They never were better; they never were lower. We mean a single sort of broadcloth, dollar broadcloth at 75 cents; but in this single sort there are more than twelve colors. These broadcloths are at 75 cents for a purpose; that pur- pose is to concentrate all the trade here. It is a stroke of advertising. $4.5o for a six dollar dress!

 :-Although we see no mention made in the South Coventry items of the progress of the new doctor there, still we hear on good authority that he has entered on a good and successful practice. Dr. Hig- gins, whose departure from here was greatly regretted, is neither crank as a man, nor quack as physician, and can bear little praise and encouragement. Frank Dawley and wife of Westford spent last Saturday with friends on the Hill.
 A new and convenient ell and wood shed have been added to the Pratt dwell ing near the depot.
 -The old and historic Jothathan w eston store, one of the oldest buildings in town, moved many years ago from the Hill to a site some half mile west o9 the turnpike, and used for a dwelling, has been gen. orally improved by it's new owner, Leon ard Roswell, and now in it's new top-coat of clapboards presents very comfortable and tasteful appearance. Farther on, Uriel Hanoyers house has new dress of paint: Thus, sprinkled all over the county, are evident benefits from Uncle Sam's pension money, and as the value oi private property increases, so the town is a gainer.
 We are all hoping to have better roads in the near future. This pat re- mark was lately made: "If you have to haul load over two miles of good road, and half mile of bad, you must load for that half mile ?
