A SMALL BOY AND A BIG FISH.

SMALL BOY AND A BIG FISH.
 Oxford comes to the front with fish story, which the truthful tell. Charlie Andrew, lad some 12 or 14 years of age, was fishing in Towantic brook one day, last week, when his hook was caught by big fish. Charlie might be pardoned for thinking it a small whale, but he really thought it was monster sucker. The water being shallow, he jumped in to se- cure it and by means which small fisher men employ, and the aid of whiplash he chanced to have in his pocket, he sue ceeded in landing it and killing it. It proved to be carp weighing 12 3-4 pounds. The fish is supposed to have escaped from Robert Downs pond ,situa- ted above.

The funeral of Mrs Sturdevant was largely attended at the homestead, Tuesday, the 22d, her pastor, Rev G. Henry Smith. conducting the services. The hymn, II heard the voice of Jesus say," and selection from Elijah were impressively rendered by quartet. New York, Danbury, New Milford, Roxbury and Woodbury were represented in the throng gathered about the quiet sleeper, upon whom that ''peace which passeth understanding" seemed to rest They laid her in the family plot in the upper cemetery, her four sons per forming the last office for their mother. The hymn ssNearer my God to Thee, 5 sung at the grave, seemed to voice the grief and sympathy filling all hearts, the sweetness and power of it's spirit resting like benediction upon them. Mrs Stur- devant leaves husband, four sons and two daughters. The brightness of His presence in which she rejoices to-day can alone comfort the sorrowing hearts. To the friends who sorrow because they see her face no more the cheerful greeting, ready hands and willing heart will ever remain pleasant remembrance.

A RUNAWAY.

Grandson Northrop had an exciting last week, with his horses. He had started for New Milford with his two-horse heavy wagon and near Mrs William Platt's residence he stopped and went in behind one of the horses to fix something to the harness, when they started, throwing him down and drag ging him short distance until he was obliged to let go of the reins. The wheels narrowly escaped him but he was con- siderably bruised. The team ran short distance when some one tried to stop them and they brought up at stone wall, one horse one side of the wall and the other on the opposite side, and still fastened to the wagon. Not much dam age except broken ring in the harness.

by going to London to obtain a social rec
ignition that will secure his entree into
American society. This is about the only
evidence OF sagacity the millionaire exhib-
its. 1t works like charm. After a sea-
son in London in noblemanFs house hired
for the occasion there is no trouble about
getting into whatever house he pleases in
New ork. This short cut to social emf
uence will be barricaded If the court Off
Gals carry out the Queens orders. But
the industry is one certain titled women
cannot we'll live without. The family on
the rise and the family on The decline met
on this landing and agreed upon exchanges
for mutual beneft-each giving what they
had surplus of and receiving what they
most wanted. But the barter, advan-
tageous as il may have been TO the parties
most imm ediately interested, tended TO
cheaper court presentations in the estima-
ton uf those entitled to them.
