FAMOUS HUNTER.
His Record is One Hundred and
 Thirty seven Foxes.

His Record is One Hundred and
 Thirty seven Foxes.
 The Boston Herald recently publish ed an illustrated article calling atten- ton to the prowess of a Maine hunter, who has killed seventy-one foxes
 This record is far exceeded by J. O.. Brainerd of Haddam, one of the best known trappers, hunters and fishermen in this county. During the past four years he has made wonderful record. MT. Brainerd went to sea at twelve years of age and followed the water all most continuously until 1862, when he entered the navy to fight in defense of his country He remained in the navy until the close of the war in 1865 and was a brave and jolly jack tar.
 Since that time he has devoted the greater part of his time to hunting, fishing and trapping, until now that has become his business. In woodcraft he was unexcelled, and he has followed the business successfully. Eight years ago he bought a famous coon dog, and during the first four years that he own- ed the animal, he captured 1S7 coons. The old dog died a year ago last fall, and he has been unable to get one to take his place since.
 During the past four years MT. Brain erd has done much trapping, and dur ing that time he has gathered in the belts of 137 foxes. In the first year he got twelve, in the second thirty-eight, the third forty-eight and this year, up to date, he has taken forty nine, beat ing all previous records. From the town of Haddam he receives $2 for each pelt. The skins are then sold in New York, He has taken many muskrats and skunks and an occasional otter Mir Brainerd is 3. famous shot, and nothing ever gets away from him if he is given a fair show at it.
 In the spring he is on the river fish ing for shad. After the season closes he takes his boat and starts out blue fishing. He keeps at that occupation until fall, when he returns home and goes to trapping and hunting, occupy ing himself in this manner until spring -Middletbwn Press.

Native New London Hound Chases
 Reynard Across the Ice
 Royce Bailey, well known hunter of Middlefield, came to Portland, Satur- day, says the Middletown Penny Press, with well trained fox hound, to spend the day fox hunting. Mir Bailey after a time spent in the Portland forests without any results, continued his jour- ney to Cobalt. The hound soon got on the trail of the game his master was after The trail extended in an almost straight direction from Cobalt over to Bodkin Rock, where hound and hunter caught sight of a very large fox The dog started in hot pursuit of the ami nal, who ran out on to the ice of the river The dog rapidly gained until he was within three feet of the game when, without a moments warning, the ice broke, and precipitated both anil mals into the water, and they were carried under the ice and drowned
 This very peculiar and unusual acci- dent was witnessed by a number of sec ton men at work on the Valley railroad tracks. MT. Bailey highly prized the dog, as it was gift from New Lon don dog breeder and was valued at $200.

LIVING RENT FREE.

A Philadelphia man has lived ten years in a house for which he paid no rent and no taxes. It belooned to the gas company, and he had paid rent regularly until the property of the com- pany was transferred to the city. He says himself: T don't remember how long it is since I stopped paying rent. It was when the gas office was on Seventh street. I went there one day with my rent, and offered it to MT. White who had charge of the gas company's real estate, but he refused to take it, and told me that it was to be paid at the City Treasurer's office in the future. took it up there, and young man there said he could not take it, as he couldn't find record of any such house. He told me that they would notify me when they were ready to take my money. I went back to MT. White, and he advised me to go home and wait until I heard from them. Well, I waited" Nobody came to collect money until recently, when the city discovered it's title and sent g man to collect. The tenant got day to consider, and promptly skipped. But
 his experience with a free rent does not seem to have been satisfactory, if we may trust his wife. Yes" says she resentfully, The thought it was snap, and look where he is now-no money, no business, looking for a job, and a

INSANE CONNECTS.
Four, Whose Terms Have Expired

Four, Whose Terms Have Expired,
 Cannot be Retained.
 The law regarding the confinement of insane convicts at the state prison, in the new insane ward, makes no pro- vision for detaining those whose terms will soon expire, and who are still in- sane. There are four of these who were among the thirty-three recently trans ferred from the asylum in this city when the insane ward was ready for occupancy. Andrew Mehura, an Aus trian; Louis H. Wilcox, who is believed to have a legal residence in Coventry; Frank Ray of Baltimore, and John Me- Intyre of Woodbury.
 John c. Taylor, secretary of the Con- necticut Prison association, has partial ly made arrangements for the case of these men, whose terms will expire this month. He has arranged with Cover nor Cooke to have Mehura committed to the asylum here at the expense of the state. He will go to Baltimore in a few days to endeavor to locate Rays legal residence there, so that the Baltimore authorities may take care of him, and he has notified the selectmen of Coven try to take care of Wilcox and the se- lectmen Of Woodbury to take care of Mcintyre.

LAST OF AN ANCIENT FAMILY.

In Thompson Tuesday afternoon oc- cured the funeral of Deacon Valentine Ballard, the oldest resident of Thomp- son and the last of the old Ballard fam fly which has for nearly century been prominent in this section. Deacon Bal lard would have been ninety-four years old on January 23. He was deacon in the Baptist church, had been prominent in all town affairs and represented Thompson in the general assembly of 1850 as a member of the Free Soil' party of that day,

full mystery called by some affinity, but known to the wise by wisdom rather than by terms, and better thought of by sacred introspection than discussed by the use of words which the idle may appropriate and abuse.
 On Tuesday afternoon, three days af- ter the second fatal meeting of the two young men, a crowd, which had the ad- vantage of the police in point of oppor- tunity, surrounded a grotesque figure mounted upon a small box in the mid dle of a disreputable street which would never have dared clamor for it's thor oughfare rights. Little difference it made to the residents whether the the oreticaI traffic guaranteed by charter and dedication were obstructed or left in unimpaired openness. To have the traffic blocked at all was sensational occurrence, and that it should be blocked by one preaching the immortal doctrine of Him born. crucified and risen for the saving of souls was di- version unspeakably delicious.
 Who was the preacher? An ex-con- vict known to them all, and but re- gently one whom even they regarded as an outcast, too low for their full com panionship. There stood he, arrayed in the dirty, frayed and ill-fitting cast-off raiment of his betters; his face swollen with excess of recent debauches: his hands wandering helplessly at the ends of trembling arms waved in vehement gesticulation; his legs unsteady and apologetic. But though there may have been one here and there ready to gibe at what were deemed the rawlings of an alcoholic maniac, the tremendous earnestness in which his speech was anchored laid stern command upon every soul that listened.
 Never before had these reckless vast CTS of life heard so sweet, so gentle, so earnest an appeal to mend their ways

advanced of the crowds who are now

underIies all their views is that women
are not only different from men physic-
ally. Intellectually and morally, but
that they belong to a different race.

destiny of its own. They write as If the
