FOR THE GAME WARDEN TO INvES TIGATE.
 Miles o, Camp, who lives near the mouth of Walker or Trout brook, reports having seen, during the recent hot wealth CT, ill the river at the entrance of the stream 50 or more trout, but last week he heard the sound of ali explosion there since which time he has not seen but a few trout. The crime is charged to Washington boys, who were seen by a party, who says they gathered up the fish and went up the railroad track. If Major Kingman is game warden, this year, it will pay him to investigate. Those who live near the brook say there has scarcely been Sunday since the law was off that parties have not fished in it.

FINE MONUMENT WORK.


 Anyone passing up and down the Nau gatuck division of the Consolidated road would not think, when the train passes at Reynolds Bridge, that an extensive monument business was being conduct ed from this point. But such Is the fact. Their establishment is located about a mile and half from the Reynolds Bridge depot, and anyone who goes there is assured cordial treatment. The stone used IS mostly Quincy granite, which comes from the great quarries at Quincy, although they use some of the Westerly, R. l., and Vermont granite. Quincy granite is considered the finest Tn the world by all, as it can be brought to the highest possible polish. The granite comes by the car load in the rough and is worked up by MT Leigh and his six sons, William H., George A., Thomas H., Frank E., Lewis ". and Charles E., all of whom are expert workmen and can do any part of the business. Mir Leigh is frank, bluff hearted man, and an interest," ing conversationalist. He does not care for display, but he knows how to sell goods and how to turn out work that cannot be excelled in the market. He buys all his stone for spot cash, and thus gets bottom prices. While many firms in the Naugatuck valley have been idle during the last two years, they have had all the work they could attend to. Some of the most expensive monuments that have been set up in the western part of the state were done there, and they have a good trade in South Britain, Washing ton, Bethlehem, Watertown, Woodbury and Northfield and other nearby towns. The polishing department is of interest to all. The polishing is done first, then the fine cutting. The polishing is done by an ingenious machine that does the work of ten men with none of the heavy manual labor, the person running it only has to guide it. First chilled shot is used in polishing, then emery gives it finer polish, while marble putty puts on the finishing touches and gives that peculiar lustre which is so much admired. After this process theistone goes to the cutters. where it is worked into shape and letter. ed. This concern has many advantages over others. All of the workmen here can do any part from the rough cutting to the finest lettering besides keeping their tools in shape. MT Leigh gets his water power from a lake he created on Gaseeon mountain in the rear of his house, where he flooded six acres. There is fall of 300 feet from the reservoir to his house. giving a splendid power. On the farm Mr Leigh has two acres of straw berries, and notwithstanding the frosts, the prospect is that there will be a big crop.

THE GRANGE MEETING.

The Grange meeting on Tuesday even ing of last week was somewhat out of | the regular order as it was given to N. B. Strong to give an account of Florida, where he spent the winter. One redeem ing character of the climate, making it favorite resort for invalids to spend the winter, is the absence of extremes. The climate is insular or oceanic, rather than continental. The evenings lack the humidity of our northern attitudes. The atmosphere is dry and the dew does not seem to fall until toward morning. While the climate is adopted to the cul.
 ture of sugar, cotton, rice and other
 staple products, nowhere else can the
 choicest tropical fruits be grown in such
 variety and perfection. Oranges and
 lemons, Hines, pineapples, olives and
 grapes are produced in great abundance.
 Along the St Johns river, and through
 out the lake region of Central Florida,
 orange groves are springing up on every
 hand as if by magic. Orange City, 116
 miles below Jacksonville, forms a center,
 within radius of two miles, from which,
 there are 1000 acres of orange groves
 The country is mostly of sand, and 1t is
 not enough to merely plant and cultivate
 the orange tree, 1t must have from 15 to
 30 pounds of commercial fertilizers every
 year or 1t soon dies down. Sand doons
 abound, some of them being 15 or 20 feet
 in height. Grapes grow in profusion.
 From single root or vine, it having q
 wonderful proclivity for spreading, 20
 bushels may be gathered. Streams of
 water do not abound, that is small trans
 parent brooks such as we find in New
 England. St Johns is the largest and
 most important river. It is navigable
 about 100 miles for vessels of moderate draught and empties into the Atlantic after northerly course of 300 miles.
 Lake Okeechobee in the Everglades con-
 tains about 1900 square miles or 30 by 40
 miles in dimensions. In speaking of the
 soil one writer designates it as High
 Hummuck, Low Hummuck, Swamp, Saranna and pine. The soil is generally
 sandy except in the Hummocks. MT Strong exhibited specimens. of sand. One specimen considerable dark, another
 lighter and third entirely white. The
 Everglades themselves cover about 3600
 square miles or 60 by 60 miles either way.
 There is remarkable spring about l2
 miles from Tallahassee which has been
 sounded with 250 fathoms of line before
 finding the bottom, which would be 1900 feet. The outflow forms beautiful lake, transparent and cold as ice, even in the hottest weather. The state ia one of the healthiest if not the healthiest of the Duibeu Cbatts huu lbs IcsiQent pOpulaGl0n Is largely increased in the winter months by class of visitors who are every year becoming numerous. Jacksonville, St Augustine and Key West are popular places of resort. There are five artesian wells at Orange City and they are found 1 also at New Smyrna, which some say is as old as St Augustine.
