SPRING-TINIE.

Spring is coming, and with the
warmth will come restless days when
the boys and girls will long for the
fresh air of the meadows, the freedom
of the outdoor world, the fasclnations

teachers do to rewaken the interests so
strong in the fall and winter? How
can we keep the interest from tagging?

full of vigor and happiness?

Western School Journal.
We have received from the state
committee nearly one hundred copies
of the rules governing the preparation
OF school work for the educational
exhibit at the Columbian Exposition.
and have mailed a copy to each teacher
whose school has not closed, so far as
we know. While this work will not
need to be prepared until next fall, 1t
was thought that to have the teachers
know what kind of work Is expected of
the schools would add to the interest
in the matter and facilitate the raising
of funds. The important thing just
now is to raise the money. Several
schools have already responded to the
request for aid and we know of others
the Medicine Lodge school for one
that expect to hold an entertainment
soon to raise money for this purpose.
We will receipt for and forward to
Pres. Geo. T. Fairchild, of the state
agricultural college, all moneys turned
over to us and list of all contribu-
lions will be published. We believe
every school in the county should have
hand in this good work. Small
amounts will be thankfully received:
larger ones in proportion.

The innocent purchaser" racket has
been worked long enough. A man has
no more right to purchase illegal bonds
than he has to buy counterfeit money
or a stolen horse. There are no limo
cent purchasers Of illegal bonds. Men
who know that bonds are illegal buy
them because they are cheap, and then
play the innocent" game. The law
ought to let them whistle. and not pro-
tect scoundrels at the expense of Inno-

There will be submitted for the approval of the stockholders lease of the railroad and property of the Housatonic Railroad company to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for the term of ninety-nine years from July ], 1899; lease of the railroad and property of the New Haven and Derby Railroad com pany to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for tho same period; 8 lease of the railroad and property of the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad oom- pany to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for the same period; and lease of the railroad and property of the Providence and Worcester Railroad company to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company for the same period; and there will also be submitted for acceptance by the stock holders a certain act of the general assem- bly, of Rhode Island, passed April %, 1892, entitled "An Act to authorize the Now York, Providence and Boston Railroad company to make lease and the NewYork, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany to accept the same."
 Deeds were filed in the town clerks of fee this week transferring property to the Consolidated road. The first piece was To- l cated at the corner of Carlisle and West Water streets, 146 feet on the former and | 57 feet on the latter. This belonged to the Joseph E. Sheffield estate. The road also acquired two and half acres of land on
 the new Shore Line road layout from AL
 fred Hughes. The John w. Bishop estate
 sold to the road piece of land with 50- l foot front on Clinton avenue.
 There is every probability that the Con-
 solidated road will erect 8 new passenger
 station in Danbury in the spring. The
 railway commissioners call attention to
 the present building in their recent report. A railway official while speaking of the
 probability of new station few days
 ago said that he did not think the new sta.
 tion would be built on Main street.
