MOoDUs DIsCONsoLATE.
Has Lost It's Chief Industry.

The little village of Moodus, in the
town of East Haddailn, Middlesex
county, is stirred over the realization
that its chief industry and source of
prosperity is to be moved away. F.
G.. Fowler, who has grown wealthy
through the advertising Of remedies
for private disea SEES, with headquarters
at Moodus, is arranging to move his
whole business to New London. He
is said to have become vexed for some
reason and taken a dislike to the
town where he has lived so long.
Moodus is four miles back rom the
Connecticut river landing at Good
speeds, with no better means of COM
munication than by wagon. and its
only claim to distinction have been
the subterranean sounds known as
the Moodus noises, and the patent
medicine industry. This last institu-
ton has brought the postofffce rev.
unes UP to the point where the post
master has been receiving $4,000
salary, and has given employment to
nearly a hundred girls, skilled in
sending out letters of avice. as well
as to the compounders and wrappers.
The removal of the Fowler institu-
ton will be a severe blow, not only
to the postmaster but the whole com
mnnity, as the wealthy medicine
man has been liberal spender about
his home village. Mr.. Fowler has
sold his 1000 acre game preserve just
east of Moodus to Publisher Lanier
of the Review of Reviews, and all
of his property is to be disposed Of
The preserve includes meadow with
fine duck shooting, uplands stocked
with pleasants and partridge and sew
eral stocked trout streams and ponds.
The inhabitants are trying to prevail
Upon Mr.. Fowler to remain but it is
reported that there is no possibility of
his doing so.

TwENTY-s1x SNAKES CAUGHT.

Mr.. Hadsell of West Avon Discovers
the Cause of His Sfring Being
Roily.
A West Avon correspondent sends the
following interesting snake story to
the Hartford Times:
A few days ago Delmore A. Hadsell,
who owns and lives at the residence
of the late Charles J. Moses in West
Avon, noticed that the water which
came from his spring was roily He
went to the spring, and, upon lifting
up one of the planks which covered it.
saw the head of small water snake.
He lifted up another plank and saw the
back of a larger snake curved UP out
of the water. He tried to secure the
snake with a pitchfork, but failed.
Then giving a deeper sweep with his
fork he threw out three good-size
water snakes. Having killed these he
forked for more. and again brought
three to the surface. He continued
this process, until he had thirteen lying
on the ice beside the spring Mr.. Had
sell went 10 MS HelSHpor, ollds DdhAelS,
and borrowed his fish spear. Both re-
turned to the spring. and Mr.. Daniels
said: you've got them all out you
won't find any more" Mr.. Hadsell,
with dexterous sweep of his fork,
landed four more on the bank. Thus
they continued with spear and fork
until twenty-six snakes were lying In
a heap near the spring. Eight of
them we're between three and four
and a quarter feet in length and the
other eighteen were upwards Of a foot
long.
No one knows how so many snakes
came in the spring. which is small
one, unless it is that they migrated
from Lily Pond to spend the winter
where the water would not freeze
