BEFORE JrTDGE WHEELER.

Before Judge Wheeler yesterday what
 promises to be an interesting trial, was l commenced It is that of Carlos H. 1 Storrs of Ansonia, administrator of the
 estate of the late Lucient Russell, of
 Bethany, vs w. W. Robinson and wife.
 In this case it is alleged that on Au-
 gust IS, 1893, the said Lucien Russell put his farm, consisting of 46 acres of | land in Bethany, out of his hands in order to defraud his creditors. He turn ed this land over to the defendants, who dwelt with him, it is said, but he did not put them in possession of the I deed until after he died. He left the deed with Edward Clark, resident of Bethany, and told him to give it to the defendants at his decease. Russell died five years ago and Clark executed his commission.
 The defendants now occupy the Rus sell property. Storrs claims that there are claims of over a thousand dollars against the estate. The suit is brought to set aside the conveyance and for thousand dollars damages. This case has been tried in the superior court once and a verdict found for the defendant. The latter in his answer now alludes to this fact and sets up the claim that the plaintiff has already had his day in court"

So far this year the board of school trustees have employed only two teach CTS for the Clifton schools. Since last year there was an increase in the scholastic census of more than one hun dred. In order to do full justice tc the school there should have been at least fourteachers employedlast year, and cer- tainly it will be impossible to get along with less than that number this year This district now has a credit of $501. 39 and will undoubtedly receive s1935 .00, making total of s2i36.29, which is certainly amply to employ four teachers for an eight months term, which would surely be much more satisfactory than a longer term with only two teachers. This IS matter in which all parents as we'll as school children are interested. The matter should be discussed, and if it is found possible to do so, four teachers should be employed even though it be necessary to collect some funds by subscription to maintain the schools.
