GREEN'S FARMS.
$500 VOTED FOR A NEW HIGHWAY.


A week ago Sunday, October I'll, the
Green's Farms station was moved some
1000 feet east of its old location to the
Charles Meeker crossing. This was large
ly due, it is said, to the difficulty that the
railroad had in securing land of Messrs
Bedford, Austin Jennings and Stuart.
The change was highly distasteful to the
majority Of Green's Farms people, who
petitioned the railroad officials to bring
it back further west President Clark
offered to do this, if the town would build
a new road and town meeting was held,
last week Thursday, which appropriated
$500 for this purpose, residents of the
Farms who desire the change pledging
themselves to meet the surplus by SUBJ
scrfption if it should cost more than that.
ID. B. Bradley, Jr, was chairman of the
meeting and Silas B. Sherwood offered
the motion which brought the matter up
for discussion. William j. Jennings put
the ground of those desiring the removal
in its elearest light. A north and south
line drawn through the present location
of the station at Meeker's crossing show
ed seven eighths of the stations patrons
living west of that line and be assured
the town that, if it cost more than the
$500 asked for, the Green's Farms people
were so bent on the removal of the sta
ton that they would meet the extra cost
of the highway asked for out of their
own pockets. George Jennings, the ex-
haI 10
ting out voters to favor removal. John
III. Jennings, who is accommodated by
the station at the Meeker crossing, de-
MED that seven-eighths of the railroads
Green's Farms patrons lived west and
northwest of the present location and
said that he had found % of these fami
lies willing that it should remain where
it is. Ebenezer Beers took the same
ground, but the appropriation, not to eX
: coed $500, was voted by an oyerwhelm
, ing majority. The location now propos
, ed for the station is about half way from
I Meeker's crossing to the old site, nea
= the Almon Alvord place, where the nortl
= and south road provided for is to 60 un
q der the tracks. The highway voted is t.
: be so feet in width and, starting near tn
: residence of the late Almon Alvord, is t.
I run south across the east side of land o
. James Stuart, to and under the railroad
\ thence south across land of William c
= Stuart, land belonging to the estate o
n the late Edward j. Taylor and land O
f Mrs Phipps to the Shore road at poin
e just west of the bridge on that roaC
q There has been talk of station at Dis
h brow's crossing, west of the old site tow
r ard Westport station, but the removal c
e the Green's Farms station west will prof
t. ably kill the proposition.

Notes From the Cauital,

ONE effect of the anti-lottery act,
passed at the last session of Congress-
it is stated at the Post-oflice Depart
ment, is shown by the falling OFF in the
volume of money-order, postal-note and
egistered-letter business at the New
Orleans post-otlice. A statement of
money-orders paid during twelve weeks
of last year, as compared with the same
period this year, shows decrease in
number of 1868, and in amount of $50
900. During the same period the num-
ber of postal notes paid fell from 50, ,593
to S,S76, and the amount paid decreased
$4,000.
THE Treasury Department has decid-
ed that merchandise imported and en-
tered for warehouse prior to October /,
1890, and which still remains in bond,
should be re-liquidated by assessing
duty ON the merchandise covered there
by which may still be in warehouses.
TuE House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds has ordered n
favorable report on substitute for the
bill introduced in the House by Mr..
Flower, of New York, for the erection
of new $4,000, 900 Custom-house in
New York City.
THE Census office has issued bulletin
in regard to the changes in floating
equipment on the great lakes since 1856.
In 1856 the net tonnage of vessels used
for transportation on the great lakes
was 634, G52; in 1890 it had reached
S26, 500, an increase of l9l, ,7OS tons. The
estimated value of these vessels in 1856
was $50, 597, ,450, and in 1890 the aggre-
gate valuation was S5s,12s,5 500 an in
crease compared with 1856 of S27, ,53l, ,O5O.

An officer of the United States army,
who was all through the campaign

of fighting n Montana and Dakota,

and their qualities as soldiers in the
light of extensive experience;
The Sioux Indian, said he, when

firing becomes very wild. When he has

his firing is very deadly,
When corncrcd the Sioux will tight

fectivc in many respects, and on an
open prairie, when not overwhelmed
they are no mean foes. They ride up
ON their ponies to an easy firing dis
tancc dismount and fire with an uncr-
ring aim, holding their ponies in the
meantime with long lariat. AS soon

RUSSIAN OPPRESSION.


The Holy synod Is a New Agency Brought
Into flay-The Expulsion of jews From
Novgorod.
Adviccs from Russia state that no
such scenes have been witnessed in Eu-
rope since the days of the Inquisition as
are now going on there. The agents OF
the Holy Synod are inquiring every.
where into charges of hercsy against
scctarics aud the latter are
being arrested and imprisoned and
subjected to brutal treatment, to
compel them to retract and
join the orthodox faith. The Roman
Catholics are spared from actual pun
ishment, hut even in Poland the Roman
Catholic churches have, with few cX-
ceptions, been closed. The expulsion
of the Jews from Novgorod involves tho
ruin of Il number of eminent Hebrew
families, that have lived for centuries
in that famous capital. The police
made an attempt to fix on the Jews the
burning of the Novgorod Cathedral, and
thus excite prejudice against them
among the more ignorant.
