A sHREwD RASCAL FOR SURE.

~
 On Friday a man appeared here States Army, of which he represented himself member ,and claimed thatshe was looking for deserters. He engaged some of the officers of the police force here and in Derby toaSsist him in their capture. With an officer from this place he espied one but the latter eluded them and they did not succeed in laying their hands on him. In the evening the residence of J. H. Hart- well on Howe avenue was entered and a gold chain and locket, finger rings, razors and small sum of money were taken. The thief proved to be the would-be-soldier, who was by the vigil lance of our officers arrested in Water ed except the money. But the officers in Waterbury found in him an old of- fender and so they detained him and the Shelton authorities will have him for trial later.
 At the recent town meeting the amount voted for highway improve ments was 5000 of which $6OOO would come from the state. This amount was for the next two years to be for special work under the state law. But owing to the large number of appli cants from the towns throughout the state, the amount has had to be reduc- ed so that the appropriation to Hunt ingtOn will be $3466. .67 instead of $6OOO.
 Robert, Gordon who resides in the district of Coram on the river road now called Howe avenue, has sold part of his farm to out of town parties, who will lay it out into building lots. It is a very level piece of ground and lies between the road and the Housatonic river.

LETTER TO s. C. BULL & co.
SANDY HOOK

SANDY HOOK
 Dear Sirs: You know chemistry. Lead and zinc is a better paint than lead alone or zinc alone Lead chalks off; zinc peels off. Lead and zinc stay on, if properly ground.
 Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. It is ground fine and thoroughly mixed. A painter ought never to mix lead and zinc: it wants grinding; mixing isn't enough. A streak of lead and streak of zinc is not lead and zinc.
 The object in grinding Devoe is to grind the lead into the zinc and the zinc into the lead, which painter can't do, with stick in tub.
 And yet lead oil will wear longer with 20 or 30 per cent of zinc mixed in with it, even as painters do it.
 But Devoe has lead ground in with zinc. The lead is fine enough: so is the zinc. The grinding is to grind the two into one. And grinding costs little or nothing done by machinery.
 Yours truly,
 69 F. w. DevOe & Co.
