 afternoon. The young friends and &C.,

The sky flung aside it's mantle of clouds, and "Old Prob" conspired in royal good fashion with the young folks to make them thoroughly happy. At o'clock the guests began to arrive, and as Master Edward Lloyd received them at the door, their meeting was filled with all the enthusiasm and exuberance of youth. Some games fol- toric parsonage resound. Then came the chief event of the occasion, which each eager heart knew was ceming-the circle about the dining table. It was pretty sight, this merry group of chil- dren, their heads reverently bowed we can say while the Congregational pastor asked Gods blessing upon them. The birthday cake at one end of the table with it's three candles burning and the mystic legend written upon it with sugar figures, lS94-lS97, was the exposure of all eyes. After all, innocence Is the most attractive of qualities, and 1t is found nowhere so purely as in the little people who are coming up into the real of. life though asking continually "WhyT The following lads and misses were present: Anna Hamburger, Paul Wolcott, Glover Beecher, Florence Beecher,.

 ING THE GUYS ON HIS LAND.
 Newtown people have long ceased to be surprised over sensational articles in Bridgeport papers about various happen ings within our town, which as rule are highly colored and overdrawn. This ap- pears to be the case, as touching the trouble between Superintendent Sloane and Matthew Leavey, which was aired at some length In Bridgeport paper on Monday.
 The plain facts In the case are substan- tially as follows: It appears that for some time past negotiations have been going on between Superintendent Sloane of the New York Betting & Packing Go. and Matthew Leavey of Walnut Tree Hill for the right on the part of the company to attach guys to his land to support the large iron smoke stack of the factory. The negotiations were not proceeding as rapidly as MT Leavey thought they ought to, so on Saturday last he brought them to an end by cutting the guys which for year and half have supported and Kept In position the stack. It. has been reported that at the time the guys were fastened it was done with the consent of MT I.eavey. Some time ago MT Leavey's son, employed in the factory, was dt1- charged. It appears that about January Mir Leavey notified Mir Sloane that the company must pay for the right of fas- tenlng the guys to his land. He demand ed the sum of $lO per year, which the company accepted, but later MT Leavey raised his price to $50. This the com pany refused to pay, and the action of Mir Leavey in loosoning the guys follow ed. What the New York Betting & Pack Ing 70. will do in the premises Is un- known, but It is said they will not accede to the demands of Mir Leavey, which they regard as unreasonable.
