As deficient as are our laws in releren to the care ot the roads, we are way ahead ofVir- ginla anyway. A. R. Jones in writing to the American Farmer says; If you could see the wretched roads that we now have, I am sure you would pity and then do what you can to relieve us. They are disgrace to civilization. and the system of working them is shame to white men. Every man between q and 50 is compelled to work two days, and must go when warned He may be planting, having or harvesting; no matter what, he must go, and as he goes under protest he does not ex- pect to hurt himself. l have seen men with garden hoes pulling the dirt in the ruts. One time the writer was on the road with 13 others, there was not an axe around, and the road master gave his pocket knife to the writer and told him to cut some pine bushes to fill up a hole. We had a team and blow, and I know that three men with the same team and Q cheap road scraper Boosting perhaps $5) could have done more work and have done it better than the l4 men did.

ANOTHER REPORT OF THE CONCERT.

The annual entertainment of St Thom- as parish on Friday evening est Patrick's daY) was grand success and the hall was packed. Miss Lizzie Gaffney of New Haven was as lovely at ever, and all know what that means. It is rare treat to hear such a voice in Fairfield. Mir Hotchkiss received his usual ovation and was listened to with delight. He was presented with a fine gold-headed cane in appreciation of services rendered on several occasions. The most interest ing part of the program, however, came last, and the little ones acquitted them selves with great credit. The receipts of the evening were large.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.


 A special town meeting has been call ed for next Monday afternoon at the Town hall. The consideration of the electric trolley question will come before this meeting and large n1mbnr of the citizens of the town should be pres- ent, that the question may have due con sideration and be disposed of as soon as possible. As we have said before it is doubtful if the question meets with much opposition, as the general leaning of the public, is in favor of the trolley system. It would be a great mistake to undertake to block the project in any way, as the most radical can not fail to see, that the adoption of the system by the street railway company would be a great improvement over the present means of locomotion, and any thing that is in the line of improvement is what this town must encourage.
