A fact worth noticing and of interest ia
some of our people, Is that in the neighbour

The pug dog belonging to Angelo Gov
bonio flew out last night upon Geo. Spring,
with his mother at j. X. Parkers, as he was
going down Grove street on his

Luck is one thing, and comes to few {;
wisdom, or common sense in an uncommon
degree" is another, and this may be acquired
by the many. The New London Business
College, New London, Conn.,, has the reputa-
ton of imparting wisdom in common-sensee
way, and if making good business men and
women of its pupils is the object, then the
management has good reason to believe that
it succeeds, for its graduates have been uni
formly successful. Copy of catalogue of this
school will be sent free to any address on APP
plcation to r. A. Brubeck, principal.
There was considerable disturbance at
the show in the town hall Monday evening,
which went practically unchecked, as there
was no officer present, owing to some misun-
following the action of the bail
ifs noted elsewhere. 1t was generally sup
posed to be the work of the militia men, al
though some who ought to know say town
boys were chiefly ut fault. Since then there
have been policemen present and Maj. Cotiey,
upon request, very cheerfully sent detail of
six men for each evening. He has also
placed guards upon the streets. whenever de-
sired, so that the town has absolutely nothing
20 complain of from the militia. The peace
md sobriety that have reigned all through the
week have afforded another wonderful tri-
)ute to the character and influence of the
place.
There has been considerable talk during
he week and some misunderstanding of it,
,ver the action of the bailffs with reference to
furnishing police for the entertainments at
he town hall. They decided at meeting
Friday evening that they would furnish such
police as were called for, but that inasmuch

own got all the income from its rental, if
my policemen were detailed for duty at the
lall. either the town should pay for the time
II the show or its management. This is
precursor of similar action with regard to po-
ice on the fair grounds during the Valley
'air;, The bailitis think that the association
hould pay this, though the village did pay
asst year. And the Wheel club for its meet
will do the same and are making provision by
avng men specially deputized.
The improvements to the interior of the
