AMONG THE TOBACCO PACKERS.

H. Schoverling 6 Co. have now force Kent asserting tobacco, James Connors being in charge. In their New Milford shop they are now asserting the spotted leaf raised in the Connecticut valley.
 At Sterling's warehouse 84 900 pounds of tobacco was received, last week. One crop taken in was that of J. Stuart Hal pine, which weighed 10,400 pounds and netted him over 8, 100. It Is no wonder MT Halpine smiled with this check in his inside pocket.
 K. A. Wildman opened his tobacco warehouse on Monday with force of 25 assorters. After Thanksgiving he will work forward in his usual energetic man. ner.
 Government Tobacco Expert Marcus B. Floyd of the Department of Agricul- ture was in town, last week, and called on Vincent B. Sterling. In coversation with Mr Sterling he stated that sufficient progress has been made at the tobacco experiment station to warrant the belief that the Sumatra tobacco raised under cover will bring from $2 to g 8 pound according to quality. The condition of the Havana seed is not so far advanced as to justify the making of an opinion, but there is every reason to believe that this. too, will bring very high prices. der cover is that of expense, according to Expert Floyd, who believes that while this method can be used successfully in the south, where labor is plentiful, it is not SO certain that enough help can be obtained by the farmers of this Connecti- cut region to perform tho work required in this kind of tobacco growing.

CORNWALL BRIDGE.

A CLOSE SHAVE FROM A BAD ACCIDENT.
 Mrs W. c. Benedict and Miss Patter- son had very narrow escape, Friday evening, from what might have been a very serious accident. They were driv- Ing near the track by MT Sturges place, when they saw the head light to the 5.19 express coming. There was nothing to do, but to try and make the corner near MT Sturges' house. They thought they were just going to do so, when the light from the engine struck the horse and it shied out of the road. The carriage struck the wall to Ar Sturges' yard, up- setting the carriage and throwing them both out. Mrs Benedict's head lay with in foot of stonewall opposite. Mrs Benedict was very cool and got up and started to catch the horse. The horse found 1t hard work to drag the carriage on the side up hill and after going few rods stopped and by that time Miss Pat terson had come to her senses and saw Mrs Benedict ranning and got up and went to her aid, in picking up the con- tents of the carriage. MT Sturges and son very kindly helped right up the wag- on and cool down the horss. They vera soon driving up the hill. Miss Patterson's face was badly bruised and her shoulder lamed, but fortunately no bones were broken. The horse's knees were badly bruised and 1t sustained scratches, but was not hurt seriously.
 The tobacco shop started, Monday, which will give work to goodly num- Der of men.
 Invitations are out for 8 s'Birthd ay so- ciable'' to be held at the Methodist par sonage, Wednesday evening. Your cor respondent hopes to give report, mex. week.
