THE USUAL EFFECT UF DIVISION.
J. b. Wright, Of Cald veil, which is
in the new Canyon county. recently
divided from Ada. writes the Boise
Sentinel letter in which he says:
1--WE were told, when struggling
for oouoty division, that taxes would
not be increased, and those Who 6e.

said it could be done for twen,,

ment roll. it 10 olsimed. shows valu
alton Of two millions. The taxes Of.
this for Sssse a"d county purpose,

A CRIMINAL TRICK.

A dastardly attempt was made, one night last week, by some unknown party 10 place George E. Ackley's life in jeop- ardy while riding on his road cart, by cutting. both the reins attached to his horses bridle about 10 inches from bit, while Aekley was at Kenny & Hosford's 's office and the horse was hitched in front Of J. B. StAlson's market. Mir Ackley, when ready to start for home, unhitched the horse and mounted his cart, but the tightening of the reins severed one and Mir Ackley found himself on his back in the road. The horse continued his way quite fast and across the bridge, past the postoffice and up the hill towards home. Mir Aekley followed the horse quickly and overlook him in front of Sherman Cogswell, Jr's. where the horse had come nearly to a standstlll by stepping Oh the other rein. After tying the broken rein into bit Mir Ackley was able to mount the cart again and proceed to the top of New Preston hill. On going down the other
 side toward John Hatch's, the other rein severed and with difficulty George pulled the horse with one rein into the woods on side of highway and was tipped over there, but managed to restrain the horse. Then George found both reins had been cut but found nothing else injured and getting matters together and tying both reins into the bit, was enabled to reach home with no further accident Several similar incidents have taken place here, during the past two years. It Is becom- ing serious question as to the perpe

While passing over the Shepaug rail- road the other day, we were quite forci- bly struck with the well arranged plans, private siding etc, of Messers Seeley < Bryan at Washington Depot, for hand ling coal and lumber, two very heavy articles of merchandise, that in order to compete with the world must be hand led economically and well. Their coal sheds are directly under and below their private siding and so arranged that coal ia dumped right into them from the car, Main strength and ignorance" not be- Ing factor in the handling of their coal they ought to be able to handle it to the satisfaction of the. large section of coun- try that naturally gravtates towards Washington Depot. This wide awake little borough has, somewhat after the fashion of che "wild and woody West" :" forged ahead since the advent of the Shepaug railroad from nothing to one of the most lively business centers in Litch- field county. Mcssrs Seelcy & Bryan are right in 1t" on lumber, hardware and coal.a That Is, if well arranged yards and convenience of location has any thing to do with handling q class of goods that weigh 22iO pounds to the ton.

George Bunnell took quite a party to Saugatuck, one day last week, with a four horse team, but neglected to hitch them. The poor horses did not deem it wise to stand and shiver with the ther- mometer below zero and, after waiting a respectful time, they took advantage of their masters implicit faith in them, started for home. One pair reached home. The other, with sleigh, was found near Westport with but little dam age ; the drivers seat broken. They re- turned for the party and all reached home happy at last.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

the Consolidated, has bought the I. w. Ives property in Canal street, just of from White street, near the New Eng land depot. The amount of the purchase is in the neighborhood of $l00,000. The company will probably purchase other properties there and eventually put up a new depot, freight houses, etc. Business men, and others, are pleased with the prospect of better railroad buildings and increased railroad facilities.
 There is little anxiety about the wat. CT supply. The reserve reservoirs are being drawn from. Small streams are frozen and there is but little, if anything to feed the lessening reservoir.

THIS REMINDS ONE OF A STORY

Danbury ice men probably never gath cred in better ice than this winter. They have filled up to the full capacity of their ice houses, which means cheaper cooling drinks to the consumer next summer, possibly. Shallow ponds and streams are frozen nearly solid, so that the cur rent in the lesser streams stands still or what was a current. None, except the very negative man, remembers colder weather hereabouts. There was one adopted Danbury man who would never be beaten. When people talked of cold weather he used to say he once knew it so cold in Canada that in milking the milk froze as it left the COW and rattled like hail into the milk pail. His story would be in order this winter.
