While he was located in Montana, a vigiant committee made and executed the laws in that region.

DEATH OF A PHYSICIAN.

A Native of Torringford in This State.
 Doctor Charles R. Bissel died on the 18th of this month at his home in New York city, after a somewhat protracted illness. He retained his faculties until nearly the close of his ife and was able to attend to his large business in- tereSts.

CROPS IN NEW ENGLAND.

Their Condition Chroniced in the
 Weekly Weather Bureau Report
 The weekly crop bulletin issued by the New England section of the climate gives some interesting information, which Is herewith appended.
 The past week was favorable for crops not yet matured. The weather of the week preceding had produced much damage in portions of southern New England, and in south-central Connect icut the drought still prevails. While the heavy rains of the past week have been of inestimabe value to corn, po- tatoes, buckwheat and turnips, they have retarded harvesting in the north ern states. In some instances fields of uncut wheat, oats and barley have lodged badly Under such conditions the prevailing cloudy and wet weather has caused considerable damage Though the straw of early grain was light, and though the hay crop was short. the late fodder will be luxuriant. Millet, Hungarian grass and all crops sown for ensilage are making rapid growth.
 The rains have apparently checked the falling of apples, peaches and plums, and have greatly increased the blackberry yield in northern localities. No agricultural interest has been inn proved more during the week than dai- rying. Pastures everywhere are great ly improved; streams that were dry ten days ago are now running and there has been marked increase in the supply of the milk. While harvesting has been hlndered, other farm operations have been helped by the rainfall, Fall plow- ing has now begun, and fields will at once be prepared for fall seeding.
 Grass.-Northern New England will secure a splendid second growth of grass, but only a portion of the south- ern district will be so favored. Mead ows everywhere, however, are now inn proving and pastures that were brown a few days ago are now green.
 Grain.-Corn is late, but very pronlis- ing The stalks have made an unusual ly rapid growth during the past ten days. and though the ears are undeyel- oped a period of warmth and sunshine will insure a full crop. Little buck wheat was sown in Connecticut on ac- count of the dry weather
 Fruit.-Despite the large amount of apples that have fallen, there yet re-

| Foo Chow Missionaries Know but Lit
 tie of What is Going on in China.
 Meriden. Aug. 21.-Mrs John L.
 Rutherford received letter Monday from her sister, Mrs. H. N. Kinneer and her husband, pr. Kinneer, mission aries at Foo Chow, China, stating that they are well and in no danger. At the | time of writing they knew but little of current events and do not until weeks | after war news is read in the United | States
 | Mrs. Kinneer's letter is dated Mon- day, July 2 at Sharp Peak, about thirty miles below Foo Chow. She says their station is in a safe place away from the Boxers. Their home is on the river front and it would be an easy matter to get transportation from this point, if they desired to leave the station. Up to the hour of writing pr. and Mrs. Kinneer knew scarcely anything about the war. The information they get is six weeks old and then no details are given, as the cable service is inn paired.
 Dr. Kinneer started for Foo Chow in July, When he returns the writer ex- poets to get more news concerning the situation.
 Mrs. Kinneer tells of an explosion that occurred in the river, the result of Chinese ignorance of operating modern explosives. They had placed a torpedo under an old ship for an experiment. as they later intended to protect the river. The men in charge carelessly hammered a rusty cap, causing terrific explosion. Thirty Chinamen were killed.
 One of the worst floods in years has caused vast amount of destruction in a nearby district. The missionaries
