 A very unpleasant notoriety was given to young lady of this village last week by incorrect newspaper reports, growing out of the indiscreet action of her mother. who lives in Bridgeport, while the young lady in question has long had her home with her grandparents in this borough. Miss Sibley has always demeaned herself properly and been highly esteemed here, and all of her many connections here are eminently respectable people. She left her home last week with the full knowl- edge of her grandparents, who were fully aware of her purpose to visit another grandmother in Providence, and all of her intentions as carried out were known to and approved by her friends here. While she was away her. mother called for her by telephone, and was informed by Miss Russell, in whose millinery shop she was employed, that she had left home. Furth- CT inquiries as to her destination and the train taken were answered, and thereupon the mother took the train for Willimantic, having first sent word to have the daugh- ter detained there by the police while on her way home from Providence. Injurious stories of a contemplated elopement, with highly sensational colorings, were sent out to the various newspapers. The po- lice of Willimantic, on learning the cir eumstances, refused to detain the young lady, but gave her permission to go home with her grandfather (who had been sent for), as she desired, rather than to obey the mothers commands to come with her. The mother has before made herself un- pleasantly notorious by cratic conduct, and is considered by the girls friends to be an unfit custodian for her daughter, who wisely prefers to remain with her grandparents, It is to be hoped for the best good of all concerned that her wishes may be met.

 The sale of the Foxville mill proper ty on the 25th inst. must attract much at tention among those interested in woolen manufacturing or other industry, and needing good site for business. Such properties seldom come under the ham, mer; being part of thriving village, with railroad, telegraph and all adjuncts to make a convenient place for business and pleasant homes for workers. The water power alone is exceptionally valu- able property, When combined with it's own good development, good mill build ings and tenements, all so we'll located, it's desirability is much enhanced.
