Last Saturday night the second raid was attempted, by Sheriff Glover and deputies, on the Taunton houses of ill repute, but the first raid was so success ful that there were no arrests. Ut really looks now as if we might expect to see them plotted out of existence. More eyes than one are watching these places. that for so long have cursed Newtown, and should they dare show signs of re- suming business, the cry of alarm will be raised so loud and strong that it will take gross neglect of duty on the part of our officials (wbo state that they are equally in earnest in this matter of breaking them up), to allow them again to be open for business. Another very effectual point is that the owners of the property, man by the name of B. kleiner of New Haven, who owns the house bordering on the lake, and Mrs Lucien Alger, who owns the hat shop house, have both been served with notices, not to rent the pla- ces for immoral purposes. Let the good work go on and let us know for certain that they are no more among us.

THE LIBRARY BENEFIT.

That our townspeople still have live interest and appreciation of the Newtown library was attested on last Tuesday evening, when the library benefit took place at the Town hall, and was very largely attended. The entertainment opened with farce entitled, 'sAn Elec- trical Episode,'' Mrs Charles H. North rop, Miss Florence Warner, Harry Beers and Homer Baldwin assuming the char acters, for which small admission fee of 10c was charged. It had also been planned to have additional stage attrac- tions, but at the last moment it was found necessary to give them up because some of the leading characters declined to act. The ladies had literally provided refreshments of ice cream and cake and the tables were largely patronized. The young people concluded the evening with dancing, good music being furnished by Prof Platt and Danbury parties. Taken altogether the library benefit was so- cial and financial success. To Mrs Charles H. Northrop is due much praise, for she worked unceasing- ly to make the affair success.
