 Saturday morning on the S:26 train a
 man with big basket of live Holsters
 struck town and at the time the thun-
 der and lighting was quite severe, and
 as consequence the Holsters, as usual
 in thunderstorms, soon felt the effects, and began to die, which caused con-
 sternation to the dealer, who hastened
 to dispose of his goods at reduced prices. The Holsters are all right in such cases, if cooked at once.

 The board of school visitors had an unusually long session Friday eve- ming over the question of diplomas for the 1901 class of the Wallingford high school The session lasted from o'clock Friday night until o'clock Saturday morning. All six members of the board were present, and there were also present G. T. Jones and w. Hassett, of the Central district committee, and Su- perintendent Thompson and Principal Platt. During a portion of the even ing the committee of the 1901 class, Miss Mae Allen, M D. Griswold and Henry Dickerman, were present and were heard in reference to their under standing of the question of the study of algebra. The pupils were present at their own request.
 By the Information brought out 1t seems that there was misunderstand- ing. as to that study, it being under stood that it was review and optional in the last year of the course. and it being so understood the scholars put their principal energy upon the 6her studies. The board, after much con- op 1,o -fa ipt nf thn GphO1- ars for the past four years and in con- sideration of the general misunder- standing as to the review study of algebra and as it was not a prescribed study for senior year, decided to give all the scholars of the 1901 class diplo- mas after resembling the vote passed last Thursday night that vote being that the, granting of diplomas to the graduating class of the high school "be deferred until September 10, 1901. in order to permit the working off by some members of the class of such con- ditions as they now have"
