 It had been at Holyoke, Spring field and Hartford, before appearing in New Britain. From New Britain it travelled south to Meriden and Middletown, and visited all other towns and cities in Con- necticut in their turn. When it came to New Britain 1t created considerable excitement and the residents of that city. like every other city and town along it's route became anxious and curi- ous to know who would be next as the testimony from representative citizens was daily published in the local papers Week after week went by and the good people of New Britain settled down to the fact that what their neighbors said must be so: that local testimony and statements from people they knew must be reliable. One whose testimony heip- ed to push the good work along in New Britain is well known in that city. He can be depended upon to answer any comm unicstion mailed to him or to cor roborate personally what he says here. We refer to Mr Henry Rackllff, of 90 Greenwood St., New Britain, Conn, an old employee of the Stanley Rule and Level Go. Read what he says You will then know what Connecticut people waited for and how one of them treated the stranger. Mir Rackliff says: "For over year had kidney complaint, affecting my back, the kidney secretions and causing general depression. tried everything but it still clung to me. My attention was directed to Doan's Kidney Pills and procured box at drug store. Now 1 am 8 watchman in the factory and the tramping up and down stairs nearly killed me. I had to stop and straighten myself on every fl ror As I grew worse had to rise six and seven times after retiring and the kidney secretions became offensive. In fine, I was in presty bad shape. I never got hold of anything that did me half as muoh good as Doan's Kidney Pills. I had not finished the second box when my back ceased aching. The kidney secretions are natural and the tired feel. ing disappeared I continued the treatment until I was satisfied that was cured. You may use my testimony in any way you wish" 5

The Carrigans lived in the Mooney house in "East Indies" last summer but were burnt out in August and moved into F. G. Holt's dilapidat- cd house by the mills But the people of Southfield and vicinity generously contributed to their necessities and made them quite comfortable. They got along very we'll till the first heavy snow storm and for few days they had not alsuficient supply of food; and their old horse fell into the brook, got chill cd and died also their pig died from exposure. In consequence of this, Mir Oarrigsn was arrested by the Humane officers. He was acquitted and the famity are are now comfortably fed and clothed.
 In regard to the statement respecting Alfred Taylor: he has nine children. His mother and married sister with her husband, James Butler, and their two children live in the same cabin. There are two rooms, each with stove, good comfortable rooms, besides the cham Der which has g very steep roof is warm cd by the stove pipes from below. Taylor has worked for W. B. Gibson for several years and the children have been comfortably provided for till quite recently. Work has been slack. times dull, snow and ice plenty and he failed to cloth his children comfortably and the state authorities took four of the children to the Industrial school at Munson. VIM.

ef tts soTt Lad baen in c-1t:u,plation. fdrihsImCIe. 1t haG been asoeTt7 inc l that while this paper contemplated that individuals should donate most of tf:e funds. the Fhoeni1-Tempe road wl1 gravEled entirely at the expan8 of the county. Now the injustice of such scheme is palpable and merits the failure it doubtless will msst. The taxpayers cn Grand avenue are williE g to cooperate in every rational way with the county in improving that thoroughfare, but they naturally eX- psct to he treated with at least some near approximation to justice. If the county will agree, as has baen suggest ed, to deliver the gravel in cars at the avenue provided the people distribute it, the rehabilitation Of this notorious highway that has been hopsd for so long will be an actuality before the end Of the year.
