 John Pagan of Staffordville on Tues day appeared before Judge Chandler of the borough court, charged with non- support, abuse of family and drunken ness; sentence, 130 days in jail. On Satur- day Patrick Ford, of the borough, for drunkenness and breach of peace, was sentenced (including working of costs) to 66 days in jail, and on Tuesday John Me Guane, the we'll known Rockville tough, was sent to serve out 1S4 days for breach of peace, drunkenness, etc.
 Work has begun upon the Ives mansion grounds, the ultimate purpose being the creation of a two tenement house and the adaptation of the present house for the use of two or more tene- ments. This has been an ideally beauti- ful place and a prominent landmark of the village, but practical utility seems to demand it's conversion into property for revenue rather than unproftable disuse. The plans for the new house are of fine structure in external appearance, and in- side model tenement in all respects, at least equal to if not beyond any tenement structure in town. The plans for the re- modelling of the old mansion also show we'll. P. B. Johnson is the architect and builder in charge.
 Augustus Spelman has been appoint ed receiver in the matter of the suddenly ruptured partnership of Messrs. Weeden and Kempton, bakers. It will be remem- bered that MT.

King of Stafford Springs and Hunter of Williman- tic, Weeden employing J. H. Reed. Judge Hall decided that MT. Spelman be ap- pointed as above stated.

 W. G. Ellis and son went to Block Island the day tho small pox scare broke out, and are there yet. Those who have ''sand'' to withstand the attempted panic are doing we'll there. The landlords are wonderfully polite in view of the dimin- ished custom, and bow a very low vel come to the few coming guests. It is the ideal time for an outing at Block Island.
 The Wardrobe Club" of Warren, Mass, went through on the boat train Tuesday evening, bound for three days fishing cruise around Block Island. Their wardrobe was long linen duster and white plug hat. During their five min- utes stop at the station here they gave lively performances on fish horns a species of music no doubt better favored in Warren than in Stafford. The platform of car standing under the savings bank window was suddenly vacated when a clerk appeared at the window with wa ter sprinkler. The movement saved the "wardrobes."
 The past week has been unusually prolific of drunken disturbance. Resi- dents on Main-st., especially complain that when the liquor saloons are closed at night those turned in the stleets are bois- terous and noisy for the next hour or two. On the whole, people are scolding over the effects of license as surpassing in ob- iectionable features those of the last pre- vious year of license-'89 90

 Summer vacations and hot weather combined are responsible for light church attendance on Sundays, especially in the evening,
 Speaking of the Stafford Springs elec- tric light plant, the Hartford Times is led to say: "It has often been remarked that this borough does not seem to grow as rapidly as some places. It is true per haps that 1t does not have spasmodic growths like some towns; but one thing is certain, it has steady and healthy growth, and has as much enterprise with in its limits as many places of much larger growth. It is doubtful if any borough
