 The Willimantic correspondent of the Hartford Times writes that Judge John M. Hall has just rendered decision in a case that is of great importance from the legal question involved. Joseph Mullen, manufacturer at Stafford, some years ago took out life insurance policy of $5,000, payable to his theirs at law Mir. Mullen died in 1891, leaving a widow; and his heirs claimed that the entire $5,000 belonged to them, as the widow could not be regarded as included in the words heirs at law. The insurance company took the same view, and refused to pay any part of the money to the widow. The latter through her counsel, William A. King of Willimantic, brought suit, claiming that as widow she was entitled to a portion of the money. Judge Halls decision sustains her claim. No similar case, 1t Is said, has ever been decided in Connecticut. Both sides quoted numerous authorities to sus- tain their respective views of the princi- ples involved"

The room, which he occupies with his store, had received some repairs and some changes had been made, with additionssto the shelf room, which not only aceommo- dates the P. o. boxes, but also gives more room and a better appearance to the store.
 The dwelling house and buildings, for so many years owned and occupied by Loren Bugbee, now the residence of Mrs. Brathwaite, have peen receiving some re- pairs. The outbuildings have been ex. tensiyeiy repaired and painted. Modern windows have been put in the house, re. placing the old fashioned small sash and small lights, which, of course, much i'm proves it's appearance.
