CRoWDING OUT THE HORSE.

The electric street car gave hard blow to an important employment of the horse. The bicycle is having so marked an effect in reducing the animals general usefulness that the liverystable men have good cause to complain. There is glut in the horse market and prices have been going down considerably, and are still going down. Less than $100 will now buy very good animal for carriage ser vice. Exports of horses to Europe have increased to noticeable extent. The outlook is worse for the noble creature than people conceived it to be when the railroad began to run out the stage coach.
 But the bicycle and the electric car are not the only innovations which threaten to send the horses out to pasture in grow ing numbers. There is the electric road carriage coming upon the scene, and car
 riages and coaches propelled by steam. Races between horseless carriages are advertises to take place this summer near Paris. A New York firm is beginning the manufacture of coaches for pleasure and street traffic, to be propelled by cleo tricity and to be capable of outrunning g | horse drawn vehicle. Out in Des Moines. Ia., a carriage firm is manufacturing ar electrical wagon or carriage which vii l go lS0 miles without replenishment ol power. Electric vehicles are being bull I weighing less than thousand poundl | which will carry four persons and are
 brought within the perfect control of th' I occupants, so it is made to appear. Th' I main obstacle to be overcome by then
 now seems to be the necessity of estao fishing electric supply stations along tn road. We may yet see them set up alonl 'l the main roads, as watering troughs ar
 now provided.
 The horse will still be in demand 10 work and pleasure after the age of cleo
 tricity has been fully introduced. Bu he promises soon to be cheaper and better animal on the average than eve before. [Springfi Republican.

BETHEL.
THE FAMOUS OWL ROCK.

I
 Owl Rock, high point on the Shelter Rock range, has always been favorite | resort for people of both Danbury anc Bethel. We find cut in solid rock the l name of Otis D. Stewart, 1882, and the | initials of many others cut on rocks bout the place. About 50 feet below the top of this almost perpendicular rock. which drops down about 400 feet to the east branch of the Still river, we find a small cave that can be reached in no oth- CT way than by rope ladder fastened to the rocks above. The young men that
 have accomplished the feat of visiting this cave are few and far between. The cave has the appearance of being scooped
 out of solid rock ages ago. A fine view of Brookfield, Newtown and ReddiDg may be had from this lofty perch, which may have been the roasting place of the owl ages and ages gone by, which prob- ably gives this locality the name of Owl Rock. Not long since party of well known men from Danbury made the at- tempt to reach the cave from the Plum trees side ot the hill. They drove to the foot of the rock but were unsuccessful in their efforts to reach this noted cave in Owl Rock by climbing from the bottom of the hill up. They could get within 100 feet. It was no use to try to go further and they gave it up as bad job. They came out for good time, with plenty to eat and plenty to drink. A camp fire was a comfort and nice thing to broil a
 steak by. They did eat and drink and
 were merry. Later in the day sorry
 looking party came up the lane with only three wheels to their vehicle. One axle
 was broken short off. A neighboring farmer lent them a good strong wagon
 that took them back to Danbury safe and sound. Next time they try to reach the cave we would advise them to take 8 guide and some good strong ropes and not make another attempt to climb to Owls Cave on electricity.

HOW THE CoWsLIPS CAME.

When springtime came laughing up into the
 land. With green leaves in her hair and bright buds
 in her hand, When the robins were singing, "She'S come E she's comel" And the bullfrog was beating his big bass
 drum,
 down To see if the cowslips had come up to town. So over the fields to the brooks messy brink k She stole away softly, and what do you think With their laps piled as high as ever they'd
 hold, There sat the whole family counting thelr
 gold!

THE SPRING BLIZZARD.

There is more solid comfort taken by a good wood fire through cold storm in the month of May than any other month in the year. Last Sunday was one of those stormy days that people needed a fire for comfort. The cold wind on Mon. day killed the tender walnut tree leaves in some exposed places. Tuesday morn ing a white frost covered the earth. The walnut and fruit trees are in full bloom and also the strawberries. The question arises now, will the nut, fruit and berry crop be ruined by the frost. The sudden change in the weather from hot to cold will undoubtedly do some damage and be setback to crops.
