WASHINGTON.

SETTING POLES FOR ELECTRIC POWER
The Italians under the leadership of
G. B. Terrell of Wallingford, who are
at work on the electric lines of the
New Milford Power Co., moved across
the Shepaug river, skipping a section
east of the railroad bridge, and COM
menced setting poles on G. D. Coles
land. Charles Nichols on the late
Russell Frisbie farm, has the lines of
noles north of his house, instead of
running in the highway between his
house and barn. B. N. Seeley has
rented the use of his tenement house
east of the old Seeley homestead to
the Italians for headquarters. They
are now setting poles on the Bethle-
hem road.
ACROSS THE sHEPAUG.
Another attempt is being made to
complete the suspension bridge, whose
abutments were put up some time ago.
These are about 125 yards north of the
Moody barn, place we'll known to the

trian punishme2ts and the scene of
nightly frolics. The visitors at the
Holiday house have to get off and on
trains at Ferry's bridge and 20 up past
Mr. Twins place. Perhaps the bridge
will be compl eted by another year.

NEW FAIRFIELD.

A LADY FALLS ON A SKUNK AND CAP
TURES HIM.
Skunks are making havoc with the
poultry in the Center. A matron dis
covered one in her poultry yard on
Saturday afternoon which she pro-
ceeded to rout, by belaboring him
with stick (which was SO crooked
that she could not help from hitting
him. she said, until he concluded to
get on the other side of the stone
fence. The madam concluded to fol-
low, but when on top of the fence,
made misstep and fell over: landing
on top of the skunk, and when she had
regained her footing, discovered that
her fall had accomplished what the
crooked stick could not. Mr. Skunk
will catch no more chickens. The
madam did not attend church the
next morning, but the husband, being
absent at the time of the mishap, was
able TO attend to his usual duties at
the church.
