within the past few weeks. Registra-
ton closed, tonight, but no figures have
yet been given out for publication.
All of the articles to be considered by
the voters, with the exception of choos-

be voted on are Pearl, New, Dresser,
Crosby, Robinson, Eddy, Poland and
Myrtle Avenue. In Dudley there are no
articles to be discussed Thomas Far

past 80 years.

tirely satisfactory, and they have de-
cided to grant the franchise. The new
route will leave the main line at Hin
toms Corner, extend to StoneYille, down
oxford Street and along Boyce Street

the dye works for Eben s. Stevens in
Quinebaug, CT, has just received as a
present from a friend who has been
visiting in Greenland full-blooded Es-
ouimaux dog, and which is probably the
only one that has ever been brought to
this section. The dog is valuable one
and already Mr.. Burkenshaw has re-
fused an offer of 5000 for his pet. The
dog weighs about 20 pounds, is IL
months old, and is covered with long
white hairs. The tips of ears and tail,
however, are black, a decided contrast
to the rest of his shaggy body. The
Esquimaux dog refuses to eat meat OF
any kind. He l1VeS solely on nSn, winch
is his only nourishment. The dog has
hardly any feeling. and it's owner can
pick him up by any part of the body
ard not a wimper comes from the ami
NAL The dog is playful, entirely harm
less, and prefers to lie in the brooks
and streams around its owners home.
