 Stories have been plenty during the past six months, about @ new depot to be erected here. Last Friday several railroad officials met some of the more prominent of the local leaders in the office of Edmund Brown and looked over some plans submitted by promi- nent New York architect. Several thousand dollars will be invested and the building will be made of stone, probably Lakeville marble, and will have large covered platform. It is hoped that the building will be finished by the first of June. but like all things of that kind it will probably take quite a little longer. This should give Nor folk the best depot in Litchfeld county which by the way is not noted for it's handsome structures of this kind.

The month of March 1898 bids fair to go on record as remarkably mild one. In fact already 23 very mild days have passed. There IS no snow in the high ways and fields, and no frost in the ground, but there is still one week left for March to show his natural tempera- ment. During the past ten years 1t has been customary to compare March with March 1888-the time of the great blizzard. But it may be interesting by way of comparison to turn back to March 1875. The files of the News record the fact that on the 18th of March 1875 there was four feet of snow on level in Canaan with the prospect of another storm. and the residents were borrowing trouble lest the snow should melt and cause 8 most destructive flood.

The Trout Law.

Fishermen should remember that the trout law will not be off until April 15, according to the action taken by the General Assembly during the last ses- sion.-Norwalk Gazette.
 The foregoing is not correct as &C., cording to the amended trout law fishing may begin on April l. as usual, but ends on June 15, two weeks earlier than heretofore. A number of people are under the same impression as the Gazette, but we have the statutes as authority and also the benefit of legal advice.

"Why should we have war with Spain?"
 We quote the above question because it is asked by many, and excellent req sons are put forth why we should not war with Spain. On the other hand there are 25O dead sailors whose death must be avenged and if Spain is shown to be responsible, shall we allow the mothers of those dead heroes to say that their boys entered Uncle Sam's navy and were blown into eternity by Spanish sreachery and that there is no vengeance for them? "The Right of Search" is no comparison as griev- ance. Shall we place upon the pages of history that we allow our marines to be sacrificed as they were at Havana, and that we meet out no punishment? If we do. where are tue young Ameri- cans who will volunteer for the navy?

Beware of Ointnle nts for Cata rrh that
 Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole sys- tenn when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phy- sians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to tho good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, O., contains no mercury !, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Go.
 srSold by Druggists 75 cents.
 Halls Family Pills are the best.

FEAST.

AT THE BOYS CLUB.
Hungry Youngsters Gorge
Themselves With Sweets.

Boys, boys, hundreds of boys. Laugh
ing, shouting, boys fun of fun and life
and spirits, gorging themselves with
eatables, stuffing themselves with dam
ties, and attempting in one short night
Of high living to fortify themselves
against a year Of palmer fare. That
was the condition ofrthings last night
at the Worcester Boys Club, when the
boy members sat down to their annual
Christmas feast.
1t was a typical boys supper. No
bread or meat or potatoes. or any of the
other things that boys have to eat ev-

troublesome accoutrements that elder

have pleased a member of one of the
more expensive clubs of Worcester.

, diners-out did not seem to notice the
gaps in the bill of fare.
Then, too, there was a delightful I'M
conventionality about the service well
calculated to please any boy who has
been compelled at home to leave pie
and cake till the last course, and refrain
from touching all the good things UNI
til the appetite is dulled with coarse1
diet
But last evening the boys had things
all their own way. They began on can
dy cake or pie, as their wish directed
usually on all three at once. For the
second course they took more of the
same, and for the third course still
more! The whole dinner was a perpetual
dessert, not served out grudgingly in
homeopathic doses, but in large, bounti-
full helpings, such as would have brought
terror to the hearts of the mothers had
they been present. Luckily for the
boys, they We're not, and the gastron-
onic portion of the program was limit
ed only by the supply of eatables.
The dinner was furnished by the pu-
pills of the Chandler street school
Each pupil who could afford it was
asked to make some contribution from
his pantry. Nearly every one brought
either cookies, pies, cakes or fruits
The Chandler street school has provid-
ed two other similar feasts in the last
two years, and the Christmas feed
is looked upon by the boys as an es-
tabished institution
Regarding the table manners of his
charges, superintendent Edwin N
Northrop expressed himself as more
than satisfied. "Of course you can
not expect them to sit down to table
with the decorum of old people,
But all things considered, they did
very well. Their romps We're mostly
stopped when they sat down to the
table, and they gave themselves en-
tirely UP to the serious occupation OF
eating. The fourteen members OF
the Boys Drum Corps acted as walters
to the rest, but SO far as could be
learned they failed to realize for
tune in tips
After the supper came music. The
colored members of the Venus Mando-
lin and Guitar Club played some live
ly coon" songs that put everybody in
good spirits. Then the boys broke up
into little groups and resumed their
customary games and sports until it
was time to go home
