 The recent reports that the Water, town-Litchfield trolley would be ex. tended to Norfolk has brought out much violent opposition here. Ii would seem to your correspondent that such road was not public necessity. Moreover in a district 80 sparsely settled there could scarcely be enough traffic to make the enterprise profit able. The merchants are opposed tc the trolley on the ground that it would take away business. And those who really have the interests of the town at heart are against the plan on the ground that the rural simplicity of the town would be ruined and summer people would fail to be at tracted to our beautiful hill town, and that an undesirable element would be brought within our border who would make Norfolk picnicking place similar to Highland Lake, Winsted. The Hon. Frederick Shepard has had the date of the erection of his summer house, l79t, placed over the front dool of the old Shepard homestead.

FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.

The farmers who sell their cream to cooperative creameries, such as those at Salt Point and La Grangeville have . distinct advantage this year over those who send their milk to New York Milk is low and pork is high this year and the cooperative creamery men re. tain their skim milk and raise good deal of pork. Those who turn their own milk into butter of course have the same advantage, but don't get as good prices as a rule for their butter. Year in and year out we believe it pays to support the cooperative cresmeries, which generally could sell more butter at better profits If they had larger and more constant supply of cream. -Poughkeepsie Semi-Weekly Eagle, August 30, 1901.

Dollars Tn Odd Shapes.

Under the law a silver dollar may be . grain and a half over weight or . grain and half under weight, and this limit of tolerance" applies to all of our silver coins. In other words, they are not allowed to vary more than that much from standard. In the case of goldpieces, the limit Is half 8 grain either way up to the eagle, a variation of as much as one grain being permissi- ble In the $10 and S20 pieces.
 Whenever a fresh batch of dollars Is turned out at the mint, samples are forwarded to the treasury at Washing ton, where they are put through a very curious process. Each dollar Is first weighed on exquisitely delicate scales to make sure that 1t is heavy enough and yet not too heavy. Then 1t is pass ed between two steel rollers again and again until 1t is fattened out and transformed into thin strip of silver sort of ribbon-a foot and a half in length. Then 1t is put beneath little machine provided with several small punches, by which hundreds of tiny disks are punched out of the metal strip.
 Now, the object of this performance is to obtain samples of metal from all parts of the dollar, inasmuch as 1t Is conceivable that one portion might be richer in silver than another. The little disks are shufied together, and a few of them, taken at random from the lot, are subjected to an assay. Thus the fineness of the material of the dollar is ascertained with absolute accuracy and, the weight having been already determined, the value and correctness of that coin are perfectly known.
 The sample pieces having been found correct, 1t is inferred that the entire batch of dollars is all right. --saturday Eysning Pest
