RETURNS FROM A WESTERN TRIP.

YARN.
 Arthur T. Nettleton, the popular treasurer of the Newtown Savings bank, arrived in NewtOwn, last week Thursday night, after an enjoyable Western trip. He found the West prosperous, the immense crops being an important factor. He found St Paul, his former home, now a city of 175,OO0 people and Minneapolis having 25O, 900 population. In St Paul there has been erected state capitol build- ing at cost of 5000, 900, and other large and important buildings. The general response to the question, "How tleton passed two days at Duluth, He brought back with him we give it entire. MT Nettleton says he sees no reason to doubt it's accuracy. The story: "The horrible news comes from Blue Springs that near that town last Saturday Willie McKeaghn climb ed cOrnstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and the stalk is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is plumb out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut down the stalk with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and has already thrown down over four bushels of cobs. It is reported here that the stalk has at- tained such a dizzy height that the cObs now catch fire and are consumed before reaching the earth"

LITTLE BOS TON AND UMPAWACG.
 The annual clam bake in Umpawaug Glen was held last week Friday, and good dinner was served to all who were fortunate enough to be there. There was the pleasure of meeting with friends that we had not met since the same occasion last year, be- sides making new acQuaintanceS. And there were visitors present that came from distant cities, who by their genial ways and social dispositions soon won the friendship of the entire company. Even Baby Osborn, with her sweet face and pretty ways. soon became the pet of the company. After dinner the woods rang with the merry shouts and laughter of the people, as both old and young joined in play. A long rope made conspicuous part of the fun and from an old man of 85 years down to a child of three years in some way was sure to be caught. If the old saying is true that laughing will drive away the blues all went home happy that night. Among those present were MT and Mrs J. F. Olm- stead, Gerald Olmstead, Robert Olm- stead, ZalmOn Reed and wife, Harry, Ernest and Fillmore Reed, Frank Jel- Tiff and wife, Edgar Field and wife, Bonnie Field, Mrs Jane Sherwood, Mrs G. o. Platt, Mamie Platt, Juliet Platt, A. E. Banks and wife, Howard Banks, Louise Banks, Mrs Brewster, Mrs Ephraim Barlow, Mrs Joel Barlow, Mrs Evans, Miss Phebe Sel)eck, Miss Marion Selleck, Seth Sanford, wife and son, J. B. Goodsell and wife, Miss Emma Goodsell, Mrs Louise Hill, Miss Luella Hill, Mary Hill. Charles Hill, Clare Hill, Eben Hill, Mrs Benjamin Boughton, Florence Burr, Clarence Burr, John Burr; l.. B. Benedict and wife, Mrs Lucy Benedict and MT and Mrs Bates from South Norwalk; Will liam Mix from Wallingford; MT and Mrs E. Osborn from New Haven: AlOnzo Osborn from New Paltz, N. Y.; Mrs Seward and son, Ernest, from Brooklyn; Miss Olive Arison, Roy Ari- son from New York, and Joseph Will Hams from New York, brother of Mrs Olmstead, who spends his vacation every summer in Umpawaug and in whose honor these festivities are held. May we all meet again in 1903. I Benjamin Banks had the misfortune to cut of two toes, last Saturday. He was cutting wood and the axe slipped. Dr Smith attends him.
 Harry Osborn's little son, Leroy, who was very ill last week, is better now.
