he judge, and by O'Clock almost any s.
pleasant morning when the conditions for r
following are good he and his dog Rover Z.
are liable to bs found in Mansfield or 81
trailing the sly thief of hen s
Yards and turkey roosts, and 1t is rarely e
The case that before noon he isn't seen
plodding homeward with a handsome
brush swung over his shoulder. Already
this season four of the nimble-footed fell
lows have succumbed to the keen scent (
and unerring aim of Rover and the judge. Il
Before the spring comes again the score e
will be nothing less than round dozsn. | ii
Rover is hound to be proud of. He is
only five years old and the past four years
will cover his entire professional life, yet 2
in that brief time he has succeeded in trail a
ing fifty of the yellow chicken thieves to +
their doom. Ii

TO RING BELL ON THE COMET.
The good people of Bridgeport, being
somewhat fearful of the present comet,
have arranged to have the fire alarm strike
three strokes in the night if 1t appears to
be coming uncomfortably near. The at
tention of the police will for time be
transferred from earthly things in favor of
sharp scrutiny of the starry heavens.

A o. U. W.
The Winsted Herald this week says:
"Winsted will shortly have another object |
lesson as to the value OF membership in
the Ancient Order of United Workmen. |
The late Edward D. Gardner joined the |
order in 1888, and had paid into its benefit |
fund $119 in assessments of one dollar |
each, the asseesmen 8, as rule, being 81 |
per month. Within thirty days from the |
| time of his death, and possibly within |
| twenty days, Mrs. Gardner will receive
| from the treasurer of this jurisdiction 8
draft for $4,000. No amount Of money
| could make good the grievous loss which
| has come upon her, but che will not have
| the added trial of pecuniary embarrass-
ment and dilemma. There are many men
| in Winsted whose homes, were they to be
| taken away suddenly as Deacon Gardner
| was, would not receive the fraternal and
pecuniary protection which surrounds his
home. The membership of Winsted lodge
is no."
HARD TO DIGEST.
The following from the Norwalk Hour
refers to a couple of gentlemen we'll known
in Winsted: sIn 1888, when Harrison de-
feated Cleveland, E ]. Hill invited o. E.
Wilson to what he called disappointment
dinner, and the invitation was accepted.
Last evening Mr.. Wilson returned the
compliment and Mr.. Hill, as result, will
probably have fit of indigestion that will
make him a hard man to deal with for
day Or two"
