FROM MY WINDOW.

Above the water from my window shines
The crescent moon, soft holding its sway,
feecy cloud just left from parting day.
Round either horned side it intertwineS,
And falling, forms in dropping lines
bridal veil around the queen of night;
Within the folds half hid, the quivering
light
OF stars, like jeweled pins in quaint design
To catch and hold the veil in place.
AS in the water dips the gauzy trail.
Wave follows wave in glittering crystals
Strewn
And silver rings go widening into space
Then 10! It's gone, this crescent crown and
veil,
And ] am in the darkening world alone

Preservin" Fruit in Lime.

A correspondent states that one of the
most effective ways of preserving fruits
and roots for length of time is to bury
them in powdered quicklime. A member

Gently exhibited some grapes which had
been embedded in lime for seven months
They were as round and plump as on the
day they were gathered, and the only diff

that he had been in the habit OF pre-
serving fruit through the entire winter by
this method. By about the middle of

SHOT RYAN Ex-coSvIor.


 Shocking Crime in south windsor-The
 Victims Wound Mortai-Arrest of the Mutderer.
 Hartford, July 5.-Alva Alexander, A5 years old, market gardener of South Windsor, was shot in the groin at about II:a5 last night, by John Cronan of South Windsor, GO years old, an ex- convict. Alexander will probably die.
 The motive is supposed to have been revenge stimulated by drunkenness. Six or seven years ago Cronan worked for Alexander and stole $500 from him. For this he served five years in state prison. Since his release he has worked Ut odd jobs around the neighborhood. Last fall he attemptedto commit suicide by taking paris green. He has been heard to threaten Alexander's life, when drunk.
 Cronan was seen around East Hart ford yesterday practicing with the gun. Just before retiring last night Alexan- der went to the rear of his house to turn his horse into the pasture and was met by Cronan, who, when they were twenty feet apart, shot him.
 Alexander's son John heard the shot, ran out of the house and was threaten ed by Cronan with the same treatment. As he ran for help Cronan fired two charges at him. A neighbor, Andrew Bidwell, and the boy with Mrs. Alexan- der carried the wounded man into the house, and afterwards the son, Bidwell, Deputy Sheriff Foley and his brother Andrew went in search of Cronan with lantern.
 While passing through piece of woods, a charge of shot was fired at them. Some of the shot took effect in Bidwell's hand. Cronan was found at daylight in the woods sitting on a log with the gun resting on his knees. He was soon overpowered and brought to this city. He will be taken to South Windsor for hearing.
 Dr. E. H. Griswold of East Hartford, who is attending Alexander. says that the wound is a mortal one.
 Cronan, when brought here, was drunk and had evidently been on de- bauch. He pretended not to know that he had shot Alexander. Cronan is not related to "Jack" Cronan, who will be hanged August "A for the murder of Albert J. Skinner of South Windsor.
 Cronan was this afternoon remanded to the Hartford jail to await the result of Alexander's injuries,

The Day in Litchfield-New Milford's Fir' Sad Affair in Woodbury.
 In Litchf1eld Independence day began promptly at midnight, and for three hours pandemonium reigned in this gen
 erally quiet old town. Young America had gathered material for the largest bonfire in the history of the town. At the stroke of 12 8 match was applied and in a few moments the whole town was lighted up. Bells were rung, can- nons were fired, and tin horns galore added to the din. At about 3 o'clock in sthe morning affairs ,quieted down.
 Gala day came again at 1:3O in the af. ternoon, when the Star band and the Rowe drum corps gave joint concert in the center. Following. the music were. patriotic Addresses by the Rev. Charles Symington of the Congrega- tional church. Athletic games and old fashioned sports, including wheel bar row races, greased pig chases, etc., formed part of the program. The Uni formed Rank Knights of Pythias of Tor rington gave an exhibition drill.
 Early on the morning of the Fourth in New Milford fire destroyed barn and several sheds owned by c. B. Camp of that place. The property is situated in
 the rear of the town hall, and at one time the building was threatened. In the barn and sheds was a horse, two wagons, forty bushels of oats and sev- eral tons of hay. All were consumed causing a loss of about $2,50O. The in- surance was about $500. The fire waA caused fby a falling sky rocket.
 In Woodbury sad accident marred the Fourth of July celebration at the outset. Preparations had been made for an elaborate parade to start at 10 o'clock. Shortly before that hour, while the line was in process of forma- tion, in front, of the Curtis house, the horse ridden by Ashael W. Mitchell one of the marshals, became uneasy and gave several violent lunges from one side to the other. Mitchell at length was thrown to the ground, strik- ing on his head. He was picked up unconscious. Dr. H. s. Karrman of North Woodbury was summoned and found that Mitchell was suffering from concussion of the brain. Mitchell is about twenty-five years of age and is we'll known there. The chances for his recovery are about even.
 The general store of W. P. Tripp in Durham was totally destroyed July 4. The fire started in g. chimney and was caused by 8 defective flue. The build ing was a small two story affair and everything in the store was ruined. Tripp lived upstairs over the store and nearly all his household belongings were lost. He estimates his loss at $2,500; partially covered by insurance
 In Putnam the three story dwelling owned by George Tettis on Providence street was damaged by fire Fourth of July afternoon to the, extent of $25OO. The fire was caused by a. defective fue. The stock of teas and spices be- longing to Albert Jason on the ground floor was damaged by the water.
