MANsFIELD,

Winter Is half gone before we are scarcely aware of 1t, so swiftly does time pass. Thus far we have had but little snow, and but little cold weather for early winter months. Two short cold spells made ice which is being housed for future use. The Eatons, who have a building large enough to hold six thousand tons of Ice, say that their twelve acre pond will yield ice enough to All 1t, which they in- tend to do If the weather remains suit able. For several days they have had thirty hands on the average, and have the job we'll in hand.
 The new road from Eagleville Is com pleted and open for public travel. The town voted to appropriate not to exceed three thousand dollars to build the road, and the petitioners claimed that 1t could be built for much less, and if it cost more they would make 1t up, and now that 1t has cost several hundred dollars more they fail to remember their promise.
 All the roads in town have been let by contract to different parties to be kept in repair for three years from the first of April next.
 Mrs. Sarah F. Barrows, postmistress at Spring Hill, Is confined to her bed, with her health gradually failing owing to old age, and she Is not expected to re- cover. She Is s3 years old.
 Rev. Leonard Smith has purchased a small farm of Mrs. Mary A. Jones, and expects to occcupy 1t the first of April next.
 Farmers are feeding their apples to cat tie and making them into cider, as there Is no sale for them. One man at least has thousand bushels.

 Rev. Cullen Foote, president of the Connecticut Sunday School Association, pr reached at the Congregational church Sunday.
 The subject of the following six etch was the son of Frederick and Fanny Arnold Manning, former residents of this town. His mother, who taught select school in the academy on the hill, before her mar riage, is remembered by her pupils as a lady of excellent scholarship, and lovely disposition. Mrs. Manning died when her son was an infant, and he was cared for for some years by his aunt, the late Miss Emily Manning, at the Manning homestead:
 Dr. Frederick Arnold Manning, who died on December 3d, in Denver, was a | physician of exceptional attainments. He | was born at Eddyville. Iowa, in May, 1859 | He was fitted for college at the Polytech- | mic Institute in Brooklyn, and graduated | in the arts at Yale, in the class of 1881. Three years later he gl aduated in medi- cine at the College of Physicians and Sur geons. He served for eighteen months on the surgical house staff of the New York Hospital. He then entered upon practice in New York, succeeding in es- | tablishing an enviable reputation as a physician and surgeon, and was appointed \ to various hospitals in positions of trust. In the summer of 1894 he was attacked by pulmonary tuberculosis, and in 1895 he went to Colorado in search of health. The form of disease was, however, active l from the start, and the climate advanta- ges were unable to check its progress. | DT. Manning was a brave. kind-harted, unselfsn man, and will be missed and sincerely mourned by all who knew him He was member of the leading medical societies of New York. He leaves a wife and child. He was buried in South Cov- entry, Conn.-Neoo Y0rk Medical Journal.

Power Over Animals.

It is a curious thing the power which some human beings have over animals, There is in Lowell boy, differing in no respect from his companions, who has this power in a marked degree. Every stray dog or cat in the neighborhood knows him and loves to be in his com- pany. A vicious horse which the stable man can with difficulty handle will stand like a lamb while he harnesses and unharnesses him. The doves fly around him, and ill the woods the wild birds apparen ly regard him as friend and ally.
 The most remarkable exhibition of his power, which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vi. cious rat W as captured in the stable in one of those traps which permit of easy ingress and no egress. The men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap. the animal shpwed such terror. but the boy, when hs be. held the imprisoned creature, fearlessly put out his finger and stroked its head. the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or dog.

The republican senators at Washington, were greatly delighted by the news yester- day of the reelection of Senator Pritchard of North Carolina. While he is classed as a silver man he Is at the same time a strong protectionist, and will assist in pushing the new tarif bill. The election of Mir. Kenney in Deleware to-day, com pllcates the political situation in the sen- ate somewhat, but 1t must be remembered that at the opening of the extra session there will be no democratic senator from Florida, as that Legislature does not elect a senator until April, and Mir. Pritoh- ards vote with that of the republican senator from Kentucky, confidently ex- pected, will give the republicans in the senate, with the casting vote of the vice president, a majority. It Is also asserted on what seems to be good authority, that Senator Jones of Nevada will act with the republicans on tariff questions. This would seem to insure the passage next spring of what will be known as the Ding ley bill.

Slipped In His English.

Many funny stories are told about the famous maestro, Signor Arditti, and his efforts at expression in the not too familiar English tongue. The best, perhaps, relates his impromptu speech some years ago at~the promenade con- cert, when Mile. de Lido had been de. tained by railway breakdown. and, having no time to put on evening at- tire, she sat for the moment in a private box while the conductor begged the in- dulgence of the audience. who naturally would have been astonished to see her Fin travelling costume. Signor Arditti boldly took the plunge. "Ladies and gentlemen, he said, "Mlle. de lido is undressed in box. But she will sing if you weesh.' And the wicked prone. naders laughingly shouted an immediate affirmative. Tit-Bits.

James Smith, one of the authors of the celebrated Rejected Addresses" was better paid for trifiing exertion of his versatile muse than any poet since the world began. One day he met the late MT. Strachan, the kings printer, at dinner party and found him suffer ing from gout and old age, though his intellectual faculties remained unim. paired. The next morning he transmit ted to him the following jeu d'esprit:
 Your lower limbs seemed far from stout
 When Last saw you walk.
 The cause presently found out
 When you began to talk.
 The power that props the body's length.
 In due proportion spread.
 In you mounts upward, and the strength
 All settles in the head.
 This compliment proved so highly ao- ceptable to the old gentleman that he made an immediate codicil to his will, by which he bequeathed to the writer the sum of $3,000, being at the rate of e375 for each line. .-Pearson's Weekly.
