An Interesting Su1t-Tne ScarletFeSer
 General News of the Town.
 The much quoted suit of the town of Southington against the town of Walling- ford for remuneration for the support of Alexander Sharpe, pauper, who since July 20, 1888, has been cared for at the Southington poorhouse, has at last been amicably settled. Sharpe for period of seven years resided in YalesViile' with the exception of few months when he boarded in Meriden, and afterwards went to Southington l where for nearly four years he has been cared for by that town, and bill of S3 week, which aggregates about s6oO, was charged up to the town of Wallingford. Selectman Jones looked up the matter, and thought the town was not liable for the bill, as Sharpe had not resided here for four consecutive years, which is neces- liable, Mir. Jones figuring that the few months Sharpe bearded in Meriden relieved the town of the responsibility and declined to settle the bill, hence the suit.
