There was lively hearing in Hart
ford yesterday afternoon on the two
voting districts for the borough of Wal
lingford. There is one feature that
many do not understand, that is the
fact that using Of the two voting dis
tricts applies only to the annual Dor
ough election; at the national, state
and town elections the voting would be
as at present in town hall and, Yales-
vile. AS the smallest vote is always
poled at the borough election 1t Is hard
for many to see the advisabllity of hav-
ing two voting places then and only
one at the others.

FALL OF A METE0RI7E.
LANDS ON CHARLES WEBB,S PROP.
ERTY IN ROTATION.
Weight, Twenty-Five Pounds-.A Por-
Ward, In New York, for Examination


"A Rare Specimen.
Charles Webb, of Rowayton, made the In.
terestlng find of a meteorite, in his door
yard, few mornings ago. The heavenly
body was broken up in several pieces. The
total weight is about twenty-five pounds.
The largest fragment weighs nearly ten
pounds, and several of the other pieces two
and one-half and three pounds.
Its being in several portions was caused,
1t Is thought, by striking the nearby stone
wall before 1t landed on the earth. Mr..
Webb has not the least idea when it fell
into his yard. At first he did not know
what the curious object was, having never
before seen anything that had the least re-
semblance to 1t. He showed 1t to a friend
who immediately named it.
Mr.. Webb has sent the largest specimen
to New York to be examined by Professor
Ward, an expert on mineralogy. Another
piece was examined by DR.. G. Ell. Nixon,
OF Darien. He says there are no traces Of
iron, but there are indications of the pres
will probably sell his ind for "a good sun,
as 1t is thought that he has a rare speci-
men.
Bodies of this kind were formerly called
aerolites, but meteorite Is now their gen
fall Of meteorites upon the earth Is by no
means of infrequent occurrence, and records
of such evnts date back to many centuries
before the presnt era Meteorites were at
one time objects Of worship in different
parts of the world. In spite of this scien-
lists would not believe that these bodies
fell from the heavens until about 1890,
when several meteorites, fell In different
parts of France. Meteorites all come Of the
same family and have a wonderful resem-
bance to each other and to our earth IT.
self The largest stony meteorite that was
ever observed to fall landed In Iowa in
1870 Its weight was 4s7 pounds.

The plan to raise oysters there is Of
recent origin and is the result Of the
discovery OF a salt water spring In the

MEXICO, December l6.-Most of the
schools OF the county are progressing
nicely. Only a few teachers have
failed to send in quarterly reports as
required by the County Board.
Miss Mamie Dawson, of Paris, who
taught the Gatewood school, has re-
signed on account OF sickness. Her
place was filed by employing Miss
Fannie Long. Of near Thompson.
Miss Carrie Turner, on account Of
nervous affection of the eyes and on
her physicians advise, has resigned
her school at Pisgah. Miss Emma
Dinwiddie, Of North Boone, is teach
ing out the term.
Miss Pink Holman, who teaches the
Burke school, has the smallest school
in the county, s pupils, but reports
the best per cent. OF attendance, 96i.
The largest school is New Michigan,
east, 81 pupils, taught By Miss Minnie
Craig, who, a few days since, became
Mrs. W. II. Whitledge. Her reports
indicate an excellent school.
Mitchell p. Fox, at the Harrison
school, has SO pupils and his per cent
OF attendance for the quarter of q
days is nearly oct, and no pupil can't
less than 30 days. Thirty-one pupil
came every day. This is the bes
