 J. NJ. Harrington and Miss Hariett Randolph did not make a long stay in town. They intended to spend a week here and give instructions in music. They gave their opening concert in the Methodist church last Friday evening. Owing to the weather the attendance was small and the couple left Saturday.
 Paul Bennett has asked the Hartford Courant to retract, but no retraction has yet been published. The Courant, in it's news columns, referred to Bennett as an aecompliee of Henry Dimlow, and report ed his capture by Sheriff Dickinson. Dimlow has not yet been found, but if a careful watch is kept of Dorsey's place, in Willington, he may be found, as he re- gently married the Dorsey girl. No eff fort should be spared to capture such an active and progressive criminal as Dim- low.
 Mrs Mary Ann Hall, wife of Eli Hall the we'll known cornet player, died Mon day after an illness of about one week of erysipelas in the head. A sad feature of the case is the fact that Mrs. Hall was but 39 years of age and Tn the natural order of events should have lived many more years This added to the fact that seven children are left without the living guidance of a mother has excited much sympathy among all who know of the circumstances. The neighbors and friends of Mrs. Hall speak in the highest terms of her Christian character and sterling qualities. The funeral was held from her late home yesterday afternoon, Rev. J. 1. Bartholomew officiating.
 The next term of superior court, which promised to be short term with but little business, will be a busy term ot some length if cases continue to come up. Several of the cases will prove interest ing. The case of John Kleborn of Gov entry who is suspected of burning the barn in which 29 head of cattle were burned is set for this term. If the case is proved against him he will in all pro- bability get the full penalty that the statute allows Smith of Union charged with horse stealing will have chance to explain the peculiar circumstances con. nected with his case. The man giving his name as James Riley who was the ac. complice of Henry Dimlow in the recent wild west round up at Bolton is also booked for next term and it is hoped that before the court assemblies DimloW will be captured. The case of Stark. weather against Himmelar for $200O dam. ages will undoubtedly bring out some startling testimony and it is possible that a criminal case may grow out of the affair.
