AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
 The date of graduating the senior class of the Ansonia high school has not been fully determined, but it is evident there is to be one in the near future. as the several young ladies and two gentlemen who are about to sever their relations with the institution have intimated to their most intimate friends their hopes and ambitions for the future. The class colors are blue and white. The rings, 8 plain band, with the figures ss.93n carved on the outside, 'Vincit qui Vuit''-s.He conquers who tries," the class motto, ar ranged very prettily in script, inside, are now on the fingers of the would be grad uates. Prof Angleton has announced the award of honor to Miss Stores as val edictorian, and Miss Healey will deliver the salutatory. Miss Mann will be phrophetess and Miss Tompkin historian. THE FOOT BRIDGE GOES DOWN STREAM,
 The foot bridge across the Naugatuck, built only few weeks ago and in which the people of West Ansonia justly took so much pride, not on account of it's ar chitectural beauty, but on account of it's great convenience, has taken it's depart ure. The storm of Thursday is credited with the mischief. About o'clock the river began to rise rapidly and the ice on the banks of the river at Birmingham dam came floating down. The cakes were large, some 30 feet long and a foot thick. Did these monsters hit the bridge We'll, no; Charles B. Wooster was on the bridge with assistants armed with bikes, who warded off some, broke in pieces others, letting them between the piles. About 6. 15 MT Wooster lashed thn h piI Ioo yuith ct tn ho ahn~ so that the shop hands could cross in safety. The liver continued to rise till II o'clock when two oil barrels came down, dove under the bridge, one in the middle and the other at the west end, up- setting it, at the same time breaking the guy ropes, and the pride of Ansonia sailed down the river. A part lodged against the spiles of the railroad bridge and the remainder on the island below. Selectman Wooster will collect the wreck age and rebuild the bridge.
