 The case of Milo Willard, who on pe- tition of cl editors was declared bankrupt by probate court and again on appeal from findings of superior court to supreme court, was heard at Hartford last week, the result of which we have not learned. MT: Millard's opposition to being declared a bankrupt seems to be to save a mort gage of $500 to his daughter on his house and lot. If the supreme, court decides him not bankrupt, then the mortgage natures and the creditors will have to get satisfaction from the balance of his property. Itisisaid that cost of litigaT- tion thus farsa aopnts to oyer $1 ,oOos and the end is not yet.
 Farmers are busy planting potatoes andzgetting ready for planting corn, which should not be put in before the 20th of this month. F. 3,, < Owing to want of rain and cool, dry weather, grass in pastures grows slow. All the, old crop of hay will be used up by the time the new crop is grown. The low price of potatoes will materially les- sen the number of acres planted this sea- son. Corn is a better crop to raise, all things considered. < <
 Several enquiries have been made about the result of wager between MT. Porter of Coventry and G. H. Reynolds, Spring Manor, Mansfield, as to which could raise the most corn on given num- Der of acres of land. The last we heard MT. Porterss corn had not been husked and it was suggested tkatthe coming sea- sons crop be husked in with the old crop, thus enabling MT. Porter to beat MT. Reynolds and get the sugar and foilf:. Perhaps our sister correspondent of Gov entry, who expressed her wish that. MT. Porter might be the winner, can tell all about it. Please let us know, sister, how many bushels of corn per acre MT. Porter did grow, as, if the figures are not too large, we intend to beat the record on our little plot of land.
 R.. W. StOrrs has sold to Norwich parties pair of fat Devon cattle weigh ing 4,000 pounds. MT. John Daggett has purchased pair of young Canadian Ehorses and now drives two in hand. His wife lately became heir to $10,O0O from an uncle lately deceasedg in Ellington, and her three daughters to $5, 900 each. It is sometimes beneficial to have wealthy relatives.
 The Baptist church at Spring Hill has hired Rev. MT. Dunbar of Boston to supply the pulpit for season. The sal ary paid is quite small as compared with village and city churches, but neverthe- less it is more than most laboring men have to support large family uron.

TREFOUSSE KID GLOvE,.


 They are little higher in price, but the difrer- ence is more perceptible in the quality, conse- quently the lady who purchases pair of Ire fousse Gloves could not be persuaded to buy a substitute. For several years we have had to contend with inferior grades of Kid Gloves that were offered at 25 cents less than our Trefousse Glove, and it consequently took us some time to build up the largest trade on an exclusive quality of kid gloves in this vicinity, but such is the result to-day. Ladies whe have used the Trefousse Kid Glove will use no other. Here is the only place to find the Trefousse goods in this city. Yet we do not expect to sell everybody Trefousse Gloves, so we make spec. ial effort, (and judging from our sales we think it is success) that is the five hook Foster lac ing glove, which we sell for $1. Judges of gloves say it has no rival.

THE CITIZEN
NoAh.S ARK.

WHAT'S ANN
n Was Touad Just where the PssriassA
Lsft tt
Hwas some Ave Thousand years ago
whsn Noah landed on the top Of Mount
Ararat in Armenia Although he was
neither q ship-builder by trade, nor did
he use steel plates, but built his vessel
with wooden planks only, the ark was
of such marvellous power tor resistance
that It has withstood the wear and tear
Of wind and weather all this time until
this day. To this effect IL the informa-
tion conveyed to the world by the right
reverend pspal delegate to Malabar,
archdeacon Of Babylon, and Doctor OF
Divinity Joseph Nouri, In his report OF
his travelling adventure published In the
most faithful Roman Catholic paper,
Universe, at Paris The report Is re-
plete with minute circumstantialrevt-
dence of the fact that the learned doc
tor has discovered the ark of Noah on
the top of the Ararat. At distance OF
one thousand feet from the top OF the
mountain, too small distance to allow
OF possibility of mistake, he saw with
his naked eye q spot OF peculiar tint
which, on closer inspection. was found
to look like . large vessel, part Of which
stood out above the snow and was
clearly visible. II was above three hun
dred feet long and one hundred feet
high. In the center was turret- The
sides had openings Like windowa The
central part Of the root had been broken
In by the snow. The doctor was, he
says, in q condition Of wonder 50 inde-
scribable as to entirely overlook the
fact that it would have been we'll to 60
nearer to the vessel and examine II
more thoroughly. He says 1t was on
April 25 last at two p. m. that he first
saw that he stood face TO face with the

WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.

In All the Higher Efforts Of Mind They
Are Far Inpsrtor to Men.
1t might have been thought that II
practice gives perfection women would
have excelled her male counterpart, not
only as an executant, but a. . composer
Of music, declares the London Lancet.
But In instrumental performances she
cannot for q moment compare with
him, while a. composer she y no
where. The repertoire OF music, from
the dawn Of the art to the present day,
owes simply nothing to her. Consider
ing the time she has spent over Ii, her
failure to evolve new harmonies, or
even new melodies, is one of the ex-
traordinary enigmas In the history Of
the fine arts.
Where, in ancient times or in modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chsf-d Duvre
In music? The inference implied by
the negative answer to such question
seems simply this: That in the highsr
efforts Of mind-even In those where
the admixture of an emotional element,
as in music, might be supposed to give
her the advantage-women In inferior
TO her male counterpart, and cannot, by
any educational forcing system, be
made equal to him. deficient as she u In

plastic power.

DEADLY POISON IN ARROWS.

Recent Investigations Go to Show That
1t Contains Marshy Earth.
M. Dantec has examined and expert
mented with the arrow poison used by
the natives of the New Hebrides. He
finds that it contains neither vegetable
poison nor serpent virus, but consists OF
earth impregnated with vegetable mat
ter taken from marshy places and con-
tanning Pasteur's vibrion septique or
bacillus of malignant oedema and also
the bacillus of tetanus-
II the arrows have been kept n long
time, says London Lancet, or have been
much exposed to the sun, the vibrion
septique may have been destroyed. The
danger then is from tetanus. When the
arrows have been freshly prepared and
the vibrion septique Is still active, q
wound from them causes death in q
guinea pig from septicemia in from
twelve to fifteen hours; tetanus, which
takes longer than that period of time to
develop, does not under these ciroum-
stances show itself. 1t is interesting to
remark that the horse Is unknown in
these islands, consequently the theory
Of the equine origin of tetanus would

HOT BATHING.

4 japanese Custom That Other Peoples
Would Do Well to Copy.
In hygienic matters the japanese
have everywhere q habit which may
have lesson for rs. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water Is
never cold, never warm, but always hot
Is 1t can be borne To foreigners this
habit seems very surprising, but the
most inveterate Englishman, II he stays
In the country long enough, abandons
his cold tub In its favor. The cold
taking, says an English exchange,
which it Is suspected must follow Is not
found to occur II the water has been
hot enough. This heat is maintained
by little furnace beneath the bath.
In the bath the bather or bathers take
prolonged soaking, the washing
proper being done on the bathroom
floor; then follows a second and final
soaking, drying with towel, and a
lounge in bathing wrapper. This habit
seems to promote softness and supple
ness Of the skin, and by persons In
clined to rheumatism Is soon found to
be altogether preferable to the cold
bath in every particular. The poorest
of the japanese hear of a cold bath
WITH amazement, and would be sure
the man who used it must be O bar
barian.
