sonal Notes,
Mrs. George d. Allen, an aged and
much respected resident of Pond Hill,
died early Saturday evening" She was
the mother of Il. c. Allen and G. Is,
Allen of this town, and Mrs. l., G.
Brown of Meriden. The funeral win
occur on Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
from the house in Pond Hill. Rev. j.
E. Wildman will officiate. The burial
will be in the Center street cemetery
The flood on Cherry street caused con-
siderable damage to the property own
erS on the street. r. C. Morse's and
Mrs. Hammarth's gardens were badly
washed out and the rear of e. c. Gard
ners property was badly quilted and
damaged to such an extent that it will
take fully $75 to repair the same. Bills
for the same will be presented to the
board of burgesseS for consideration.
The insurance men are busy at work
adjusting the losses on the recent fire
at the Housatonic Manufacturing COM
pany and it is expected that everything
will be amicable arranged in a few
days. 1t is authoritatively stated that
the company will rebuild the factory
and continue business again. This will
be good news to the citizens here who
are interested in the welfare of the
borough and do not want to see any of
our thriving industries leave town.
There was another fire in the rouge
house at r. Wallace & Sons Saturday
The building is small one of brick and
situated some distance away from the
main building and is connected with.
the rouge buff1ng room by blower and
receives all the refuse from the same,
The fire was put out by the company's
hose company after an hours work.
There have now been precautions taker
which it is expected will prevent any
more fires in the building.
The condition of Mrs. M. d. Munsor
of Elm street is considered quite criti-
cal.
There was lively race on Main
street Saturday afternoon between F.
A. Wallace's boy Robert on his pony
ttilu Ildy NOOI oll q Why SiS. 14etSli
won one heat.
James Degnan, employed on Prior's
new block on Center street, mourns the
loss of his overcoat, which was stolen
Saturday morning from the building, it
is supposed, by some tramp.
There is a lively prospect that bicy-
cles will not be rarity on our streets
this spring, as nearly every show win
dow in town that is large enough has
display of wheels and nearly every
kind can be found by making circuit
of the various stores. Every evening
in front of the windows and inside of
the stores can be found scores of bicy-
Gle worshippers who are looking and
in many cases mourning the limited
state of finances as represented in theil
pocketbooks.
The report that has circulated of the
assignment of one of our manufactur-
ing concerns is untrue and without
foundation. There was some misun-
derstanding between two of the mem
bers of the company and it is reported
that one has dropped out of the con-
Germ.
Saturday was one of those kind of
days that have been eagerly looked for
and justly appreciated when it did
come and was a genuine spring day.
May more follow.
The meeting of the board of bur
