of . Day In the Valley Bs.O~
 This City.

NAUGATUCK, September 5.-Yesterday was another big day for the Naugatuck firemen. and they apparently improved every working hour of it after the arri- val of the American band of Waterbury at $40 a. m. Both the Town hall and Fire department buildings, with a large number of business places and private dwellings, were neatly decorated in their honor. The band not only gave a fine concert at the department building in the morning, but serenaded J. H. Whit temore and also Commissioners Murphy and Morse, president and clerk of the board, after the parade. At II o'clock Citizens Engine company of Seymour, fine body of men. with the Seymour band, arrived, which enlivened things upon the street, their truck and carriage being sent up with horses. At the hose house lunch was prepared for all visitors and large numbers were assembling on l the streets, waiting for the parade that came for review by town and bor- ough officiats at l2 m. At 1 D. m. Chief | Crampton and Assistant Fuller escorted | the board of fire commissioners for an | inspection of the house, apparatus and men. Then the companies marched
 into line with their trimmed apparatus l for review on Church street, the most | fancy being the Union City cart, not
 only in decorations, but carrying two children, to the delight of many. After parading the principal streets the com panies and band formed in solid column
 and marched to the opera house, where | a good dinner was served tp over 21O. The last of the guests were sent off with
 a hurrah at 616 p. m. Among the in
 vited guests we noticed Editor Sharp of
 the Seymour Record, who together with

Mantle Looks Desolste.

NEW LONDON, Sept 5.-As result of the two fierce storms experienced within the last ten days the foliage in the vicinity of Mantle, has been destroyed as completely as though a hard frost had been at work. By the wind great quantities of salt were distributed over the trees and shrubs. The second blow was not accompanied by sufficient rain to wash it off. It will be recalled by some of the older inhabitants that the famous gale of 1915 created havoc in much the same manner at Colchester.

A Remarkable Iocomntire.

On one of the Kentucky railways is a re markable little locomotive having eight wheels, all drivers, but the length of the wheel base or distance between front and rear axle is only l6 feet. It weighs but eight tons being designed to work on steep grades and curves, and has hauled train of four empty cars weighing 16,OO0 pounds up grade of GOO feet to the mile and around curves of 50 feet radius, where the grade was 45O feet to the mile at a speed of l2 miles an hour.
 It has but one pair of cylinders, which are rigidly attached 10 the middle of the frame, and the wheels are carried under two trucks, one at each end and both able to turn about T center pin like the trucks under passenger coaches. The front and rear axles-that is, the frs taxle on the front truck and the last axle on the second truck-are hollow, the diameter of the in side being sufficiently large to permit a second axle to run through, the connecting rods driving these interior axles by means of crank pins, and the motion is communi- cated to the tubular axles by universal joints at their center point.
 In this manner the inner and outer axles are not always parallel, but the rotation of the former forces the latter to revolve with crank from which the other wheels on the truck are driven. As the cylinder is mid way between the trucks, there is piston rod on each face of the piston, and the for ward stroke for the wheels under the front of the engine is the back stroke for those in the rear.-New York Sun.

Old Puxzle

Having the letters properly arranged, ask the person whose name is to be revealed to tell you which upright column or columns contains the first letter of his name.
 If it be in only one column, it will be the top letter; if in more than one, you find it by adding the alphabetical numbers of the top letters of these columns, the sum of which will be the alphabetical num- Der of the letter sought. In the alphabet ical numbering \ k l, B is 2, and so on through the list.
 By taking one letter at time in this way the whole name can soon be ascertained.
 Take the name John, for illustration J is found in the two columns commencing with B and II, the second and eighth letters of the alphabet Add ? and :, and you have 10, and the tenth letter of the alphabet is T.
 The second letter of the name, O, is found in the four columns commencing with A., B, D and II, or the letters that number l., ,, i and $. Add thCsc numbers, and we have l5, and the fifteenth letter is O.
