Rabbits Versus Sheen Raising

Americans have dual reason for con ,ern in the treatment of the rabbit pest ir Australia Upon the abatement of the pest depends in very great degree the sheep raising industry of that south sea continent which plays such an important part in the wool market of the world, and what is the pest of Australia today may threaten large agricultural area in the United States tomorrow.
 Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus .ralia has been interrupted by the plague of English rabbits may be gained from the following facts: At one station in Victoria, which under skillful management pas. tured 11O,O sheep, the incursion of rab bits reduced the stock to 1,200 sheep found by the visitor "dying in a paddock at the homestead" The rabbits had to account for the deficiency. All that good manage ment, backed by abundant capital, could do had been intellectual to stay the progress of the rabbits They had eaten up anf destroyed all the grass and herbage; they had parked all the edible shrubs ant bushes. and bad "latterly themselves be gun to perish in thousands.

THE Colorado river is natural north and south road and no one can stand upon the bridge at Yuma and realize that the stream is navigable for hundreds of miles, without predict ing a great future for the town of Yuma and the rich country to the north of it. In speaking of the navi- gation of the river, the Yuma Times says: "Although not as great an enter prise as in early days the navigation of the Colorado is yet followed with much success and profit. A look ahead at the great valley of the Colo rado, with it's thousands of acres of fertile land and it's miles of rich lodges of valuable minerals. gives strong hope that in the near future the present Colorado Steam Navigation Company will have to build several more steam boats to meet the demands of the in creasing travel and trade.

It looks as though Cochise had got tired of Mark Smith. Seven months ago he lead MT. Cheyney by several hundred votes and on Tuesday lost by ten or twelve votes.-Phenix Herald.
 The above from the Herald is such a distance from the truth that resi- dent of Cochise would wonder whether the Herald man had not become mix cd up in some other county. Mir. Smith will lead MT. Cheyney by 100 votes. Last year he beat him by 195 votes when the vote was double what it is this year. It does not take much of a mathematician to see that MT. Smith will all the artillery of the op- position directed at him, did better this year than he did last fall when he ran for congress.

 Another landmark gone in Elm street. Wednesday morning, 9th, Therza, widow of the late Levi Curtis, died, aged 91 years, months. Mrs Curtis was daugh- ter of Robert and Ruth Turney of Long Hill, Trumbull, and was born in the house now owned and occupied by Fred erick l.. Turney. She had three sisters and three brothers; Ephraim of Moticel- To, N. Y. and Agur, who lives in Iowa, alone survive her. She was an estimable lady, naturally modest and unassuming, but of sterling worth. Her husband died in 1870. Three daughters survive, Polly, Susan and Mrs Albert Wiicoxson of Stratford and one son, Eli. Three gen. erations of Curtisses have died in the home of Mrs Curtiss and it is now occu- pied by the fourth, Misses Polly and Susan Curtiss. The first house, built by the great grandfather, stood just south of the present and near the road. The cellar is seen now. When this was built, it was the second house this side of Strat- ford, the Hiram Hurd place being the first. The Curtisses found their way here by means of marked trees.

 William II. White, who built a tasty Summer home here, last season, intend ing it for his own use, has been unable as yet to rent it, though applications have been plenty. He could easily rent it for the Summer months at the price he asks, SIS per month, but declines to rent unless by the year. Tenements to rent for from S5 to SIP month are what Trumbull needs and several applications for rents and also for building lots have been received. It is evident that some of the Trumbnll money now in savings banks and invested in other ways might be used to advantage in putting up mod est homes which wOrkingmen could rent. With commuters fare only 1Oc daily to Bridgeport, many city people would be glad to live here were homes provided and rents or building lots as low as they should be.
 Historian Orcut and party of friends, including Mir Burton of the D. M. Read Co. and Lawyer Middlebrook of Bridge port, were in town, last week, looking up the history of the Burton family. MT Orcutt has been spending some time on the work and has the book nearly ready for publication. It embraces complete history of the family from the time that it left England for the Burmudas, early in the 10th century. The Burtons re- mained there but short time and settled in New England. The work is to be complete in detail, the result of careful research in various sections of the United States.
 Cloverhurst is looking bright and fresh. "Farmer" Moves has had his lawn now ed and drives and walks put in order.

Armed to the teeth, two men are constantly on guard, so that it would be impossible for anyone to interfere with the flowers that adorn the grave. But, as many of his intimate friends often express it, "Poor Barnum is gone; still his name lives on, as it will for many years to come." And already his familiar face is being put before the public on sign boards and other available places throughout the country, announcing the coming of the Greatest Show on Earth to gladden. the hearts of young and old.
