SETH MONROE COMMITS SUICIDE,

SE1H Nun ROE COMMIIS SUICIDE.
There was a peculiarly sad case of
suicide at South Kent, Monday morn
ing, when Seth Monroe, the veteran
butcher, cut his throat from ear to ear
with butcher knife. Mr. Monroe has
been greatly afflicted. A few months
ago his wife died. Then his children
were all taken down with scarlet fever
and Mr. Monroe was almost helpless as
the result of rheumatism and two
shocks of apoplexy. 1t appears he left
the house about 5 a. M, went to the
slaughter house and performed the
sad deed. Mr. Monroe was a large
hearted man, and one known Tor his
honesty and upright dealing. He is
survived by 10 children, Mrs Charles
Camp and Mrs Robert Dunlap of New
Milford, Mrs Fred Rowland, George
and Gilbert Monroe of Waterbury and
five young children living at home.
Robert E. Murphy was in Salisbury,
Lime Rock, Canaan, Falls Village and

was the largest that has been present,

port more money pledged for the
church expenses than ever before at
this time of the year, and a spirit of
hodefulness prevails.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY,

There was an exciting runaway on
Railroad street, Saturday, which had
many peculiar and interesting features,
in which the energetic "Pop" Shepard
once more emerged as a hero.~ 1t ap-
pears w. J. Clark's horse became
frightened at something and breaking
away, dashed up Railroad street. The
horse went at so lively a clip it over
took ''Pop" Shepard, who was driving
the fast "Kansas Boy" The wheel of
the Clark wagon collided with Pops"
sulky and in less time than it takes to
tell it "Pop" was flying through the
air, landing on soft Mother Earth.
"Pop's" horse ran uphthe Wellsville
road into the yard of Edward Turrill,
where it jumped two picket fences.
The funny part of the incident is that
neither horse was~injured and the
popular "Pop" also escaped with a
slight Earring of his nerves. He thinks
it rather beats his circus performance
on Conetia Park.

What Columbus Might Have Don

What Columbus Might Have Done.
There are relatives Of Columbus liv-

said that gambling debts are keeping
them poor. These persons look to the
United States with wistful eyes, hoping
that some patriotic American will con-
fer on them a few millions in recogni-
ton of their distinguished ancestor.
This fact led staistician to work his
brain, and he published the statement
that had Columbus placed 81 at COM

ago his descendants today would pos

$4,000, 600. When these figures were

The Harmless Grass Snake.

The poor, harmless grass snake Is the
subject of stories almost as wonderful
as those related of the adder. The
superstition that, however much you
may hammer it, it will not die till the
setting Of the sun Is widely held. A
fable not 80 generally held to is that
even at sundown 1t Will not die If you
should neglect to tell some one of what
you have done. The rule on seeing one
Of these terrible creatures Ks to ''hit 1t
and tell"-that is, give 1t a good drub-
btng and run quickly and tell some one.
The best snake story Is from Leigh
Sinton, near Malvern, according to q
London correspondent. A laborer
states that he had killed grass snake
and hung it on tree. The blood
dripped down and a toad came and
swallowed some, dying Instantly!
The fancy that makes this species
poisonous or even harmful is1a wild
one, but how much more wild is that

Ing his cap in his captains face at
Oran is an illustration of the merciless
severity exercised in that famous corps.
Shooting at sight is permitted the Of
fcers, who have to deal with dangerous
characters from all quarters of Europe.
Nowhere is there such a corps, &C.
cording to the London. Chronicle. Its
ranks are recruited from outcasts of
all social ranks. D1sgraced officers of
the Russian service, deserters from the
German army, broken scions of the
Austrian nobility, fraudulent debtors
from Belgium, forgers from Spain,
homicides from America, ruined gam
biers from Italy, are found in plenty
in the ranks. No excuse is taken for a
fault and the slightest symptom of in
subordinat1on carries with it a swift
passage to another world. 1t is under
stood that recruits are simply seeking
refuge from the arm OF the civil law.
