when the edition was about two-thirds
off, by the breaking OF two gears which
has put our press out of business for a
few days The balance OF last even
ing's edition was printed on the Amer
lean press which was kindly placed at
our disposal. We have some Of last
nights papers left, SO that those who
failed to receive a copy can get one
If they wish. The regular Office GUS
toners were all supplied, but a7num-
Der Of people supplied by newsboys
must have been disappointed. Such

An agent is now making the rounds
Of the city selling articles for cooking
fruit in which he represents to be
made of material which will stand suf.
ficient heat on the stove to allow. wo-
men to do all such work as is neces.
sary for cooking, and from all accounts
he Is doing a big business. If this be
the same fellow who Incorporated in
other parts. OF the state, people should
give him wide berth. In other
places the sample shown was all right,
but when purchasers received the
gods they turned out to be something
different to what they were represent
ed, and the people who dealt with the
agent started out cunning for him, but
they couldn't find him and had to sub
NIT to the imposition. The man now
in Waterbury may not be the same
joker. but in any case it might not be
bad idea to make sure of that before
buying from him.

with a lighted lantern, but nothing
more did they find The supposed

of the body OF human being It
seemed to be fresh and the police tried
to connect it with the discovery OF the
body OF child that was found in the
woods near Pine street last week DR.
Axtelle concluded it could have no con-
nection with that and then dismissed
the. subject. He told the police to bury
teh object and that it@was not worth
