almost impossible to describe the dam

in the state of Connecticut by Mon

places the losses Of the telegraph and

poles have been reported down, most
of them having been torn out of the

miles of wire are said to be down.
There is yet no eastern communication
in the state. Hartford has but two
wires and Middletown single test

Long Lost Bible.

Harry Weaver of Uniontown, called
at our office while on his way to the
Hanover fair and related war time
incident in connection with small
testament which he was re turning to
Mrs. Smith, of Hanover, who was
formerly Miss Louisa Vandersloot.
At certain time during the war,
while a number of soldiers were quar-
tered in and around u niontown, Mr..
Weaver who was then a boy, in pass
ing through his ia theirs garden one
day discovered a soldier lying there
who was weary, footsore and in dis
tress generally. He invited the
soldier to the house, where he
was given something to eat and gem
orally rejuvenatsd, who, in order to
show his gratitude, presented young
Harry with testament which con-
tanned the following inscription:
Samuel Vandersloot, Gettysburg,
Adams County, Pa, 1861" and on the
title page the name, Louisa Wander
sloot" in pencil. Some time ago in
turning over the contents of trunk
the book was brought to light, and
Mr.. Weaver started an investigation,
which resulted in the information
that the relic was presented to Samuel
Vandersloot, who was killed during
the war, by his sister Louisa, who is
now the wife of Mr.. Smith of Hano-
yer. Mr.. Weaver returned the book
to Mrs. Smith, who prizes 1t highly
for it's assoc iations. Carroll (Ga,)

There are very few of our favoritc
authors who have not at some time or
other of their lives uttered burning
protest against the injustice, the in

ism of our modern society. 1t is
point worth noting in considering the
influence of literature, that, as rule,
these protests are very little read.

Surely, he had no protest to utter. But

It is not generally known that the
high state of efficiency to which the Jap
anese navy has attained is mainly due to
two Irish gentlemen, Messrs. Cornelius
and John Collins, who are twin brothers.
The Messrs. Collins were engaged for IF
teen years as instructors in gunnery and
nautical maneuvers in the Naval School
at Toxic and the d ckyards at Yokoha-
ma, and have both been decorated by the
Mikado in recognition of Their services
with the Order of the Rising Sun. Al
