factories will have to make them SIX
sizes larger and that isn't all. How in
the world are the chickens going to

the farmers that will have insomnia.
They say the corn grows SO fast at night
that it cracks like a cannon and the
farmers can't sleep.
Il remember back in '58 that the corn
grew so large that the cobs were used
for posts. Why the corn cob pipe fac

If they make pipes out of such big cobs
it will take five cents worth of black
jack to fill them and that will break the
farmers who smoke a dozen pipes full

Lots of people make their living sell
ing cobs for kindling but if they have to
stop and split them up before they will
go in a kitchen stove they won't be able
to make a living. The jug factories will
either have to make a new sized jug
or they will have to furnish corks with

Concerning the Rumored Erection OF a
New Theater.
Rumors continued rife about town
that new opera house is soon to De
built on the site of the old New Ha-
ven opera house. Mr.. Proctor, the well
known proprietor of several theaters'
and who also was formerly proprietor
of the old New Haven opera house, was
in town last week, and various reports
say that his object was to form syn
dictate, Horace Wall acting with him in
the matter, to purchase the old opera
house property of DR.. Skiff. The i'm
preston gains ground that new opera
house will be built if upon a full sur
vey of the situation it is thought that
a new one will pay. DR.. Skiff said last
evening that he had no knowledge of
anything of the kind, as far as he was
concerned He had set no price upon
the property, but if there were parties
who wanted to buy the opera house
property of him they could have it at
his figure. Horace Wall has been in
town quire frequently of late, and said
Saturday that he was quite confident
that the new opera house in question
would be an accomplished fact before
many months.
