 Davis. Baker is getting along very l well under the care of Dr. Newton. We are under obligations for this years catalog of Harvard University. Every inhabitant ought to be proud that the town is able to get up musical entertainment of the high order promised tonight.
 The spring is rather cold of the two. Ice formed nearly an inch in thickness Tuesday night. But its good weather for grass, they say.
 We were told by an intelligent woman (and she spelled the word for us) that the party who recently bought the old Fuller place is named Rife. In last weeks Press somebody says the name is Wright. Which is right?.
 Mondays Courant contained the fol- lowing Wilmington item: "George Smith, a promising young man, employed by G. Hall x Co.,, thread manufacturers, disappeared from his boarding place Thursday night. He left note relating to some business matters, but gave no clue to his plans. No reason 1 c m be given for his departure in such a way It is feared that he has committed suicide. He was bright young man who l spent his evenings and leisure in study and was active in the Christian Endeavor Society,""
 The young man was in Brattleboro, Vt., at last accounts. He has many warm friends here who look upon his sudden departure as vagary, and are in clined to consider the act with charity. Mrs. L. Preston is visiting friends in Willimantic and Providence, R. I. | Ward Cortis has built bay window on the southeast corner of his house, changed the arrangements of the rooms, and made many repairs. An amusing feature of the concert tonight will be a comb quartette.
 The case of Noble vs. Taylor, an ac. tion of assumpsit for money lent, has again been postponed. It was done at the instance of the counsel of the plain tiff's conservator, c. c. Essex, who had another case to try in another county and, as the defendant is at present con- I fined to his house with illness, and would have been unable to go to Holland, the final arrangement for continuance was mutual.
 Geo. B. Robbins, the new sexton oi the old town burying ground, is fitting ur various lots belonging to absent owners The work already done by the town is g great improvement, and it is hoped that the coming summer will see the yard beautified by upright headstones, drives walks, shrubs and flowers.

 From another Correspondent.) We read. in the Charles City News of Iowa, the death of Amy F. Heath. O that city, from heart disease, aged 65 She was the second wife of John Heath formerly of Willington. His first wift was Amanda Niles, of Willington, whe died some years ago. MT. Heath's busi ness is in Charles City, where he lives.
 Waterbury Republican: The presen ballot act is an example of how not to dt it. It is bad in theory and great dea
 worse in practice. When it was enacted four years ago it wasn't what the peopl
 wanted; and the more familiar they be come with it the less respect they hav
 for it. It bristles with opportunities fo technical errors which annul the will o
 the voter and beget political complica tions. The legislative deadlock whicl
 humiliated Connecticut at home and dis
 graced her abroad was a fit product of tn
 misf1t ballot law. Moreover, it promote
 corruption and encourages trickery b,
 enabling corruption and trickery securel
 to intrench themselves. In short, it pos
 sesses none of the benefits and more thai
 all the defects of genuine secret ballo
 law.
