There is quite legal contest over three cows now in the possession of Henry Zimmerman, who runs Bridgeport lunch wagon. Two of the cows former ly belonged to Butcher Frank Squinobal, who sold them to the man who afterward stole grain of Hanford Williams and cleared out. MT Sduinobal had not been paid for the cows, but they were taken during his sickness and found their way into MT Zimmerman's hands. The two cows strayed home to MT Squinobal, bringing mate with them and MT Squin- obal asked poundage and damages for the third COW. These were refused. Sheriff Fenelon replevined the cows for MT Zimmerman, also attaching yoke of MT Squinobars oxen. All the cattle were placed in the hands of Selectman Orville s. Mallett, but the cows were subsequent ly returned to MT Zimmerman and the merits of the case are to come before Jus tice Nobbs, this week Thursday.

LONG HILL, HUNTINGTON.

The Long Hill celebration, July 4, passed off pleasantly and safely. The program commenced with music and so- los and choruses were interspersed among the addresses. Rev A. J. Park gave patriotic address. Selectman S.. T. Palmer followed in lighter vein. Rev W. A. Beard spoke of the might of our nation and Col s. G. Blakeman held the attention of the audience while relating personal incidents of the late war. The fireworks were far better than last year and, owing to the high ground, were seen for miles around; 250 were afterward re- freshed with ice cream and cake. The committee appointed to arrange for next year are O. G. Beard, s. T. Palmer, Col s. G. Blakeman, Wellington Wilkinson, Misses Una Blakeman, Alice Wakelee and Ruth Platt.
 One of o. c. Boards Polanders, Joe, while in swimming with the boys of the neighborhood, was suddenly taken with some sort of shock and, while only in about four feet of water, was drowned. It was about 8 o'clock and quite dark. The man was on the further side of the channel from the rest of the party and, after he went down, they were unable to find him. The whole neighborhood was at once aroused and soon the river was covered with search lights and drags. The body was found about 10 40, about five rods below the spot where he was last seen. On advice of Selectman Pal mer, the body was sent at once to Dr Shelton's office, the coroner. The unfor- tunate has wife and child in Russian Poland.

 Remarks are made that real estate is at standstill in the city, but such is not the case. If any one doubts it, let him take drive about the city. At each turn, new building can be seen in course of erection. The trouble is that there is no marked boom in any fixed To- cality, but it is widespread over the whole city. Were it grouped together, the pulp lie would be surprised and real estate dealers would have their hands full. Scattered as it is, every one is doing a neat little business and should feel we'll pleased that their neighbors are not get ting the cream of all. Mechanics are busy and, if one wants extra carpenters, painters and other workmen, it seems ut terly impossible to get them, which ought to be ample proof that business in real estate and building never was better.

Aft CT riding three or four hours, we crossed the watershed separating the North sea and Mediterranean, passing through several tunnels and along some fine mountain scenery.

 Out of this again grew as natural se- quence the need of training schools for Kindergarten teachers, and also the need of a sch9ol for nursing. The experience of the war of.1866 shad proved that the existingstnursing agencies of Germany were inadequate to it's needs, and the princess earnestly desired to see an ef- ficient training school established, where educated women might gain a thorough knowledge of the science of nursing, earning "a competent livelihood while following noble calling. With this end in view, she herself penned two impor ant memoranda.
 ssWithout doubt,'' she wrote, ssthe best nurses would prove to be those who com terhoods with that more progressive training which has not yet been obtained by any sister belonging to orders. Ex- perience teaches us that without careful attention to apparently trivial matters great ends are seldom attained"
 The war of 1870 delayed the execution of this plan, but the princess's personal experience of that terrible Winter con firmed her conviction that nursing agen- cies were more needed than ever. When peace was restored, she wrote longer and yet more exhaustive memorandum on the subject which occupied her thoughts so anxiously, inviting cu1ti- vated gentlewomen to join in the work, for she considered this to be one of the great requisites for it's success. After. enlarging on the details of her schemes, she concluded
