 -S. Taylor has been laid up with cry. sipelas for a week or so. He is some bet ter. ~~
 John 0. Miller, for long time dyer at the thread factory, died on Monday, af- ter long and distressing illness, of chron- ic cystitis. The funeral wassheld this fore noon from his home, the interment being in the new cemetery. MT. Miller leaves wife and two daughters, one of whom is Miss Mary O., the teacher at South Will lington.
 Here in Wilmington we are not wholly disinterested as to the proposed disinte- grafton of the county, the entering wedge being the cession of Mansfield to Windham county. There is hardly any doubt of the success of this initiating step, and the final parcefng out of the remaining towns is only question of time. We have been at some pains in ascertaining the feeling of the inhabitants of Willington in following Mansfield county wise, and we have yet to know of dissentient voice in the premises. It has really been pitiful spectacle for years to see litigants and witnesses plod- ding over these hills and through the sands of Skunkmug to the courts in Holland, there to dance attendance upon the oaprices of both lawyers and judges as to ''recess- es," .contin1ances, adjonrnments, and so forth, and then to plod back and forth again on the weary way during the term. "Tolland has lived long enough on the rest of the county" said 8 prominent citi- zen lately, ''and now let the shift for the convenience of the people take place as soon as possible" That is looking back wards somewhat, but the chief reasons for the change are the greater facility in at- tending courts at Willimantic and the in- creasing intercourse between that city (soon one de jure, if only yet de facto) and South Wilmington and Wilmington proper. Some forty minutes on the rail road and 40 cents fare would be the ex- penditure of time and money for parties who would go thither to indulge in the luxury of litigation. The present mail communication between us and Williman- tic is greatly improved. Letters thither and answers thereto are now only matter of few hours the same day, whereas it takes from three to four days for the like matter as to Holland. Another thing :: Were the county abolished, or the Holland courts, at least, they would no longer be pensioners on the state. Personally, we have no painful qualms as to our want of loyalty to Holland County in this matter. Sentiment doesn't enter into the premises at all as a factor; in fact, sentiment has become back number in commercial and corporate matters. In a word, were Will lington annexed to Windham county, it would be saving of money to the state, and saving of both time and money to 1ipook1v iYforoakod
