OAK VILE HAPPENINGS.
MIDDAY OUTGOING MAIL WANTED.


 People of the Village Think They are
 Entitled to It-Only Two Mails a
 Day-A Case for the Humane Agent
 Peach Supper.
 Oakville is, in the progressive spirit so characteristic of it, endeavoring to induce the United States postal ali- thorities at Washington to allow the village another mail. There are only two outgoing mails from here daily, one at 7:49 in the morning and the other at 5:41 in the afternoon. Such service is by far too primitive and un- satisfactory to Oakville people, If they happen to miss the early morning mail by a few minutes the letter re- mains in the postoffice all day. What is wanted is mail that will go out on the 12:01 train at noon, similar to Wa tertown This has become an actual necessity to the people of Oakyille and nothing will satisfy them until they get it. Of course it will make q little more work for the postmaster, but then.
 The village had case for the Hn- mane society yesterday, one that de- manded attention from all who wit messed the condition of the animals. A road contractor had two horses at work on q wagon when they were un- able to move without the most eX- cruciating pain. The animals were literally covered with gall sores, and the breast collars only served to irri- tate and inflame the sores. The flies lit upon the dumb beasts and helped to make life miserable. Word was sent to the humane agent in Water bury, but nothing further has been heard from the complaint
 Frank Plumb, who has been em- ployed as a teamster by F. c. Slade & Son for many years, will sever his con nection tomorrow evening. MT Plumb has purchased a pair of heavy horses and will draw wood for factories ill Waterbury.
