 At the town meeting on Monday $500 was appropriated to be expended under the direction of the select men to improve the grade of the hills on East Main street in this village. The Granite Mill com- pany also proposes to expend an amount in improving the street in front of their premises, equal to that expended by the town. This village Is largely indebted to that corporation for improved streets, walks, etc.
 Joseph BurIey has bought the five buildings lying on the west side of the pond, next to the iron bridge. The purchase includes the large tenement house, known as ''the arcade, ;" the black smith shop, and the building lately oc- cupied as a refreshment saloon. Mir. Burley proposes starting up business at once in the blacksmith shop, which will be under the superintendence of John Adams, a former occupant of the premises who will be assisted by other good work men.
 J. M. Tappan, who has been agent at the Stafford station for over twelve years, has resigned that position, and J. V. Squier of Palmer has been appointed in his stead. MT. Squier is personally known to most of our business men, who need no assurance that he will be popu- lar and efficient official.

Six young men who will finish their course of instructionain the Connecticut Institute and Industrial Home for the Blind will have acquired the trade of broom makers by the close of this spring term. These young men can maintain themselves by their labor if they can be equipped with broom-making machinery and with broom material enough to make a start. They are without means, and the institution is too poor to give them this start. All who feel inclined to assist in giving these young men start are requested to send in their donations to a fund for this purpose, to Herbert H. White, treasurer of the institution, at the Phoenix National Bank, Hartford. All donations will be most gratefully re- ceived, and duly acknowledged.

1. THE NEW YORK YOUTH.
Story of Promising Boy, 8 Schoolteache1
 and an Escaped Dog.

Story of a Promising Boy, Schoolteacher
 and an Escaped Dog.
 A drawing teacher in the upper re- ginns of the borough of Manhattan tells me of a curious instance of what she calls the crescent freshness of the metro politan youth. Tommy was the most in- corrigible pupil in that particular room, making the half hour spent there daily one of mingled doubt and anguish of spirit to the drawing teacher. The other day Tommy was evidently engaged in some new form of mischief. His draw ing pad lay upon the desk before him and his hands were lowering over it, now sweeping down at one slSe of the paper, now at the other, as if corralling some unwilling ant or other insect seek ing to escape.
 "Tommy,' said the drawing teacher suddenly and sharply, "what are you doing?'
 "Nothin, was Tommy's instant re- ply. Then he added, "Nothin but keep in this 'ere dawg from runnin away"
 "What dog?" queried the drawing teacher. "I see no dog. What do you mean?"
 "Course ye don't see no dawg," said Tommy, ceasing his gymnastics under her sharp glance and strengthening up. "Yer too far away" The other scholars were all attention by this time, which was precisely what Tommy wanted, and he assumed a look of un- smiling innocence as he continued, "I drored a runnin dawg, not standin still one, an I was a-headin i'm off so's he wouldn't run off tn tablet an git on tn floor ''
 The other children laughed uproari- ously at this whereupon Tommy sur veyed them with such an assumption of surprised indignation that their mirth was redoubled. The teacher was now genuinely angry. She was a matter of fact young woman to whom normal school methods were both law and gos- pei, and here was a fragrant case of downright falsehood that must be ex- posed as an awful example to the entire grade of pupils. She walked slowly and firmly down the aisle and picked up Tommy's tablet. The white sheet was unsullied by single mark of any kind.
 Tommy, " she said sternly, exhibit ing the sheet to the pupils, "there isn't a dog or anything else here.''
 "Course there isn't" said the una bashed Tommy. "Wha'd I tell ye? Ye made me set up, an he got away. He was greyhound, he was. Flown Topics

HE HAD HIM THERE,
How 8 Passenger Got Even With Q Stre
 Car Conductor.

How Passenger Got Even With Q Street
 Car Conductor.
 He was intent upon his newspaper when the conductor came along and stopped ill front of him. The conductor stopped down to get a better look at his face and said, "Fare, please.
 The man with the paper paid no at tention, and finally the conductor tap ped him gently on the arm. "Did get your fare?' asked the con- ductor as the man with the paper looked up.
 Now, if there is anything ill this world that has tendency to make a man who has paid his fare get angry it is to have the agent of the corporation to whom such fare was paid come along and ask him if he has paid it. It may be all right, but it always seems as if there was an inference that some one is trying to beat the road. Thus it hap pened that the man with the paper re- piled rather sharply:
 "You ought to know.
 "Oh, it's all right, sir!'' explained the conductor hastily. "No intention to offend, you know. I merely wanted to make sure.''
 Then he returned to the platform, while the man with the paper returned to his reading.
 A few minutes later the man with the paper went out on the platform himself, and just before reaching his corner he gently tapped the conductor on the arm, even as the conductor had tapped him.
 ''Did you ring up my fare?" he asked.
 There were immediate indications that the conductor was getting mad. He tried to say something, but only spluttered.
 "Oh, it's all rightv' the man with the paper hastened to explain. "No in tention to offend, you know. I only wanted to make sure.''
 Then he swung off the car, and when he reached home his wife detected traces of a faint smile on his face. .-Philadel- phia Times.

 It is alleged that the physical examina- tion of volunteers for the army has dis closed that the low handle-bar on bi- cycles Is injurious to those who 1t. The report comes from Washington that a large majority of the militia volunteers rejected because of physical unfitness are wheelmen who have used very low handle bars habitually. It Is said that their doubled-up posture in the saddln has pro- duced abnormal conditions of the heart and spine which disqualify them for the life of soldiers.

In regard to Bro. Preston's article In
last weeks Press, relating to base ball
clubs and soldiers, we would say that in
our opinion Bro. Preston would have
thought the members of the South Will
lington team would make good soldiers,
IL he could have seen them last Saturday
afternoon during the thunder shower.
The team was on Pinney lot practlcing,
and it was nearly time to play when the
shower came up, and everybody ran to
the barn near there, which was very con-
veulent. The Junior League Star players
arrived in town about $50, looking like
a lot Of men who had bet on the wrong
horse at a horse race. It Is expected
that the same teams will play on Pinney
lot next Saturday at $50. There should
be good attendance, as the game Is sure
to be a close one.

The Brimfield ball nine went to Stafford
last Saturday to play ball with nine on
Stafford Street, but on account of the
shower they did not play.
An electric storm last Saturday after
noon cooled the air, but caused serious
loss Of property in this section. On high
some places crops were destroyed. Fruit
also suffered severely, and many trees
were uprooted. The barn of Porter
Plympton, near Fentonville. was struck
by lightning and burned. Mr.. Plympton
and George Adams were sitting In the
barn, and were both affected by the shock.
Adams was so severely injured that med
ical attendance was necessary. DIR. L. III.
Hendee was called, and remained with
Adams until he was more comfortable.
His injuries will not have serious results.
The barn burned very quickly, with all
it's contents, except two wagon loads OF
hay, which were run out. The barn was
filed with hay and tools, and calf
was also burned. Fortunately the stock
was in the pasture. Mr.. Plympton had
the building and contents insured for
about $1,000, which will nearly cover the
loss, it is hoped.
