Honesty in War.

The French marshal, Turenne, was a great general, and his character bears examination for nobility. He was a great man. Many incidents which are related of him show his modesty, gener- osity and honesty, as well as his cour- ace and military ability. A little story of one of his German campaigns illus trates his rare scrupUlousness even in time of war. The authorities of Frank fort believed. from the movements of his army, that he intended passing through their territory. They sent a deputation to him which offered him a large sum of money if he would alter the direction of his march, and leave Frankfort unmolested. They were surprised in more ways than one by his answer. 'Gentlemen," he said, 'smy conscience will not permit me to accept your money, for 1 have never intended to lead my army through your town. ."-Youth's Com panion.

New Potato Pest Discovered.

A foreign account is given of the appearance in Schleswig- -Holstein last summer of stalk borer of the potato The larvae enters the stalk near the ground, eating its way upward through the stem or downward into the roots, causing the destruction of the plant. The mature butterfly is described as thirtytwo to forty mili- meters across the wings (nearly one and one-half inches), of a clear red dish brown or copper color, with dark border spots The larvae is common on glyceria, atriplex, carex, iris, reeds and the roots of petasites. It is as sumed that it is likely to become de- structive to the potato. No means of repression are suggested.

MYSTERIOUS DISTURBANCES.
Men of Prominence Who Suddenly Drop
 Out of Sight.

Men of Prominence Who Suddenly Drop
 Out of Sight.
 There appears to be singular in- crease. in late years, in the number of people moving in the higher walks of life, occupying civil positions of promi- hence, and enjoying rare social distinc- tion, who suddenly disappear under circumstances that baffie all ordinary efforts to account for. Without known reason or ascertainable cause they van ish from mortal ken and, stranger yet, leave no trace. E. A. Osborne, M. D. writes in the Chautauquan of these mysterious disappearance and the attendant lapses of identity in the missing ones, giving several in- stances that came under his own obser- vation. He says:
 From the more reliable statistics available they seem to be as common, per ratio of population, in one section as in another, as frequent in one sea- son as another, and erratically to avoid anything like rule of procedure be- yond the one prime propelling impulse 
 an undefnable mystery and an un- measurable danger, for until we know just how and why this subtle psycho- logical force arises, there can be no sense of security felt by any individual as a personal immunity from this strange and powerful, all powerful it would seem, propelling force. In the selection of victims the educated and illiterate, the sick and the well, the strong and the infrm, the rich and the poor, the man of brains and the man of brawn, the occupant of the palatial residence and the dweller in the hut are all treated with rare ind.scrimina- tion.
 Let us suppose for the sake of ex- planation that we accept the theory of every persons being actuated by a double consciousness, a twin self, which, when the organizat tion is in a state of normal, healthy equipoise, har- moniously dominates all the acts which characterize us, just as in health and in physiological balance our two eyes see as one, our ears hear as one, or our double brain so nicely conjoined, req sons, receives impressions, transfers them into sensations, and directs the operations of the complex nervous sys- tenn, in all acting, essentially, as one brain.
 We are now ready to believe that circumstances may arise so to influence our CONSCIOUS quality, that the one shall be influenced more than the other and in turn produce such an errantry, such type of vagarious personality, as the individual originally might never be accused of possessing or know himself that he possessed.

THE cRAY's PLAIN SCHOOL TROUBLE.
EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT.

|
 The Gray's Plain school muddle ap-
 pears to be growing more complicated.
 On Monday Messrs Brew and Northrop
 visited the school house, broke in and placed Miss Ryan in possession. Later
 in the day Mir Winton, the committee
 Ryan and put new lock on the school house door.
 But the excitement arose to fever heat on Wednesday, when Messrs Brew and Northrop again broke into the school house, placed Miss Ryan in possession and left Mir Ryan, her father, to see that she was not molested. Committeeman Winton with Munson Clark, H. c. Clark and G. W. Bradley, went to the school house. MT Ryan met them with an up- lifted ak, threatening to "split their heads open" if they entered the school house. MT Winton caught hold of the ax, and there was a struggle for it's pos session. Messrs Munson Clark and G. W. Bradley were slightly cut upon the hand. Miss Ryan was then put out of schoolhouse. The school door was not only locked, this time, but rails were set and nailed against it. The shutters were nailed up and the windows firmly se- cured.
 Reports without number were circula- ted about town about Wednesdays con- fiict. One was that Mir Bradley had struck Miss Ryan in ejecting her from the Schoolhouse, but this he promptly denies.
 The feeling throughout the district is intense and all Thursday lawyers were being consulted and probably some ar re ts are being made as we go to press. Public sentiment is decidedly with the district. It may be the duty of the three members of the school, who have taken the recent action that has brought about the present state of things, to keep the school open, but the public generally seem to think that the district should not have teacher foisted upon it that it 1 has voted to reject, especially when there are good teachers that can be secured. | But the courts will be called upon to de- eide the case.

TRINITY's FLOWER SHOW.

As the generations succeed each other,
 old ways are being improved upon and
 new methods are being adopted to foster
 and cultivate the social element of our community. It matters not what form the effort may take, the material seems to be forthcoming and the cooperation hearty enough to make the movement a success. The chrysanthemum show that came off at the Town hall, last week, was no exception to the rule, but far exceed ed in extent and beauty any thing the most sanguine had anticipated. It was the culmination of a project set forth in the early spring by the rector of Trinity church, who superintended the distri5u- ton of plants among the Sunday school children and others, to be cared for by each recipient through the season, and brought together in early November for exhibition. The wealth of beauty at the hall was almost marvellous. Banked against the wall on each side the main entrance two tiers high were over BOG pots of chrysanthemum plants in full bloom of great variety of form and color. The broad platform at the rear of the hall was u immed with evergreens, while a row of choice potted plants and cut flowers contributed by florists from Dan bury on the front produced a pleasing effect. Crowds of people visited ths show during Thursdsy, and in the even
 ing concert was given, such as New
 town people seldom have an opportunity to enjoy, by out of town talent. Int seating capacity of the hall was wei tested, and the proceeds generous. Th' crowds in attendance on Friday showed nodiminuution of interest and in the earl, evening the settees were removed and al entertainment such as Newtown ladle are famous for, was given. Five tables with seating capacity of 10 for eacl one, were arranged about the room sever ally presided over by Mrs pr Smith, Mir William J. Beecher, Mrs K. F. Hawley Mrs Charles r. Beardsley and Miss Kis cam. The arrangement of the table was beautiful In artistic effect, the sprea

ST ROSES FAIR.
IT WILL CLOSE ON THANKSGIVING NIGH


 A few weeks ago several young ladies from Bridgeport gave an entertainment in St Patrick's hall. The weather being stormy made 1t impossible for many to be present. Those who were fortunate enough to be present thoroughly en- joyed 1t and speak well of the acting . abilities of the young ladies who have so kindly offered to appear again or next Tuesday night, November P, and give another play altogether different, but even more entertaining than the last. It Is unnecessary to say much in favor of the young ladies as they are already fla vorably known. The admission to the hall on Tuesday and Thanksgiving nights will be 20 cents.
 A program Ia also being prepared for Thanksgiving night, when the fair will close Miss Margaret Bu,ke of New Haven will assist the junior choir in the concert which they intend to give.
