 The case of state vs Thomas Luton, charged with illegal liquor selling by the Ellington Law and Order League, was on trial in the superior court at Holland on Friday. The principal evidence for the state was given by the professional liquor spotters. They told of buying liquor at his place. The defense was an alibi, Lut- ton claiming that he was in Manchester on the day in question. The jury ren- dered verdict of not guilty.
 Edward O'Neil, who has been serving as town agent for Ellington, has resigned that position MT. O'Neil has just been convicted of selling liquor illegally and his vacating the office was a necessity. Crystal Lake Correspondence) -E. A. Aborn, Esq, and his brother, companied by their cousin, M.

 On the southeast shore of Crystal Lake, meath an overhanging ledge is a beautiful grove. This grove is situated on the old farm of l.. A. Aborn, and is reached by a romantic drive past the ruins of the old homestead. In this se- cluded place, away from the hurry and hustle of Crystal Lake, MT. Aborn has erected 8 commodious cottage, not unlike score of others around this popular re- sort. An invitation from Miss Mattie c. Aborn brought the following guests to this cottage for a two weeks "rest ::'' Misses Clara L. Van Heynigen, New York; Alice s. Wardwell, Somers; Flor ence M. Essex, Tolland Messrs. M. Arthur Richardson, c. Walton Aborn, Everett A. Aborn, Chicago; Walter H, Skinner, Rockville.
 I chanced to fall in with couple of the campers when they were in a talkative mood, and this is what 1 was told: "I you wish to enjoy yourself thoroughly just spend a couple of weeks at "Wild wood Camp" Crystal Lake. The cot tage is convenient and delightfully."- situ ated. We have one of the finest wells il this vicinity. The water is clear anc very cold. It is no trouble at all to gel water, for two campers are always ready to get quart pail full.
 Then there is one of the finest beaches around the lake. Of course the young men are all expert swimmers, that is ex cepting one, and he expects to pull tht nails out of his swimming plank and bt an expert by next season.
 Some of the young ladies can really dive and swim, but, to be frank with you they prefer to walk along the white sane on the beach. 1 would not be mear enough to say they wished to displa. their costumes, but some of their bathing suits are as pretty as have ever seen a the sea-shore.
 We have an organ, violin, a banjo 10 ant a tin horn at the camp. We are extreme ly fortunate in having an artist on eacf of these instruments. I play the horn.
 "Have we caught any fish?" should say we had. We have made the oldes followers of Sir Isaac Walton turn greer with envy. We got three fish that weigh ed eleven pounds-actual weight-on MT Bowler's scales.
 Almost every evening we have bon fire that lights up the shore for rod around. By help of this fire you can se four or five hammocks, convenient, hung so as not to interfere with eacl other.
 would not like to throw an apple o discord into our camp, but, to tell tn truth, we have two bell(e)s there. Hay you seen our tin-types taken in pairs Well, look! Those illustrate better thai words the spirit that has pervaded ''Wild wood Camp" I repeat, if you wish t have delightful time, spend couple o weeks at Wildwood Camp"
