HOME TEACHING LEGAL.

Judge Biddle has handed down
at Carlisle an important decision
affecting the compulsory school
law of this state.
Brady Mccullough, a farmer
of West Pennsboro, refused to
send his 12-year-old daughter to
a public school. He was tried be.
fore q justice and fined. His de-
fense was that after he removed
his daughter from school she was
instructed by private teacher
in his family, but the private
teacher had no certificate to
teach.
The case was tried before a
Cum berland county jury and a
special verdict was rendered,
subject to law points. Judge Bid
die decided that a governess or
private teacher, even without any
certificate, is legally qualified to
teach, and that if this lawful and
proper instruction Is given at
home, a scholar need not attend
the public schools. 1t was order.
ed that verdict of not guilty be
rendered.

AUNT RACHAEL.

What means this throng OF country folk
About Aunt Rachael's dwelling?
Did hospitality invoke?
Is this of pleasure telling?
All. no: q knot of sable dye
on front doorknob suspended,
And somber. hearse agaiting by
Denote q journey ended.
With whispered greetings, ,neighbors all
Attend Aunt Rachael's funeral.
Within the parlors curtained gloom
The sanity one lies sleeping,
While ranged about the quiet room,
Sit OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, weeping.
Serene on silken pillow there,
Her pallid face reposes.
Her head enwreathed with snowy hair,
And crowned with pure white roses.
Queen always by a lowly fate:
Queen still, Aunt Rachael lies in state
She reigned by love; her royalty,
Gods charter to the humble,
To her was steadfast loyalty,
Though other thrones might crumble.
Her home was comfort and content;
She walked about rejoicing;
Sweet sunshine followed where she went
Her heart the song birds voicing.
Life's duties done, with deaths release,
How well she wears her crown of peace.
AT length the pastor, old and wise,
With hands upraised toward heaven,
In trembling speech, with fearful eyes,
Commends her soul there given;
Then, when quavering hymn is sung,
He tells her simple story,
From when life's gate was gently swung
On to the gate of glory
The babe, the child, the dear girl friend,
The woman strong, old age, the end

Over Fifty Years in the Service of the
 Consolidated Road
 Charles S. Davidson, superintendent of the Hartford division of the New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- road. will retire from active duties of that responsible position on the first of January. Mir. Davidson was called to this city Tuesday and on arrival receiv- ed from General Superintendent O.. NJ. Shepard formal notification that, by reason of his age, he was to be retired on half pay with the coming of the new year.
 Mir. Davidson is seventy-four years old and has been for more than fifty years connected with this company, having risen from the ranks to the su- perintendency of this division and hav- ing proved himself, one of the most use- full and efficient railroad men in this part of the country.
 There has been no trouble between himself and headquarters, and the best of feeling exists there, but he is well past the age limit set by the trunk lines of the country, and it is understood that the same rule will be put in force here.

MYSTERIOUS MOTIVE DIscREDIT- ED


 The statement that Christian Thonp- son Of Hamden killed himself is de- clared impossible by friends Of the fam fly. Letters have been sent out stating that the boy was of a sunny disposition, and that he had always been very well treated by his parents, On last Friday evening. the evening before his death, he made plans for Christmas with his brother. He had no gloomy thoughts either at that time or next Morning at breakfast. when he was in his usual cheery mood. He would have gone skat- ing in the morning, and was urged to by his mother. but his skates were too small. After 10 o'clock the boy was left alone at hone He did some light work and had lunch in the house, leaving the kitchen door ajar when he went out, as though he was going to return in eew minutes. About noon his ia. ther found him hanging in the barn.
 The people of Hamden were much ex- cited over the fact that mysterious stranger is said to have been seen about the Thompson house at F, and many are convinced that he murdered the boy. Medical Examiner Johnson of Harnden when seen last night declared that there is no truth in the murder rurnor. The constables were sent out for whole day, but did not find the stranger. Contrary to rurnor Dr. John son found no marks of violence on the body.

ENGINE FOR FOURTH WARD
 HOUSE.

Chief Fancher and Fire Commissioner
 Well Discussed the Situation Last
 Evening.
 Chief Fancher and President Well of the fire commissioners had consulta- tion last evening as to how best equip the new Fourth ward engine house. Ow- ing to the small amount of money ap- propriated for the buying of apparatus it has been thought that it would be impossible to have an engine at this house. and that the only thing which could be done was to get another chem ical engine for it. This the fire officials all think would be very foolish, and they all say the house will have to have a regular engine. How to get it was the next consideration, and it is now thought that this problem is solved.
 In discussing the matter last evening Chief Fancher said that there are three extra engines in the city at the present time. Although none of them are of they have seen better days, still one of them may be made use of until such time as the need of new one is made apparent to all. One of these old en- zines is at No. Ss house. while the other two are at No. 7's. ..
 I! is not known whether an old en- zine will be put in the new house or whether one of the active enginees in one Of the other houses will be trans serred to the new house. If this is so the house which gives up the new en- zine will get the old one.
 Tn addition to the new engine the house will get a new combination hose and chemical wagon. and the purchase of this was also considered last night.
 The new house will be made ready for business as soon as possible --.5 5r

RAILROAD BUYS LAND.
Jmportant Move Made by Company in
 Waterbury.

Jmportant Move Made by Company in
 Waterbury.
 Waterbury, Dec. 2S.-The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company took a step in it's plan to change the railroad facilities in Water bury to- day, when deeds of the prop erty recently purchased by agents of the company were filed in the office of the town clerk.
 The properly includes land on Simon street, Beaver street and Mattatuck street, or Seeryville, as it is known by residents of the West End. Within a day or two deeds of other property, se- cured through the same agency, will be filed for record. .,s-
 The papers were placed with Town Clerk Brett this morning by an out-of- town represent tative of the company. He said that he would have more deeds s to file in few days. Outside of this he would say nothing.
 The storehouse on Beaver street be- longing to the D. B. Wilson company, and refrigerator plant owned by Mi- chael Guilfoile on the same street were sold to the company. .4.....
 The first iltination the public had that the railroad company was attempt ing to acquire more property to further it's plans in Waterbury was last sum- rner. when Mark S. 'Neiman endeayored to buy up all the property on Simon street. Lafayette street and that land on Washington avenue lying between the railroad crossings. The general re- port was that it was wanted for rail- road purposes.
 Tt is understood that MT. Neiman has been successful in getting nearly every piece of property desired by the com- paly in that district.
 Iii the western section of the city, Seeryville the property was bought by Edward McGrath, acting for the rail- road. What the company intends to do with this property is not known, al- though it is reported that the land is desired in order that the corporation can proceed with the proposed plan to elevate the tracks of the Highland di- vision. :
 It seems to be the general opinion that it is the intention of the company to do away entirely with that part of the Naugat11ck division tracks lying be- tween the present Bank street crossing and Washington avenue. The plan, so 1t is reported, is to connect with the Highland division and either build a Union station in the Brooklyn district, near the Holmes, Booth 6 Hayden corn- pany, or in the vicinity Of the present Highland division station.
 The railroad officials have declined to make public their plans for the propos- ed changes in this city.

HoF-BRAU CHRISTMAS DINNER.

HOF-BRAU CHRISTMAS DINNER.
 A Christmas dinner that might be called banquet in all gustatory essen tials will be served at the Hof-Brau Haus tomorrow. The management has evidently decided that dinner for this occasion must be the best possible, and the chef has converted this idea into menu that will win praise. The Hof- Brau cuisine has a reputation of it's own, and there will doubtless be many persons who will avail them selves of the holiday cheer prepared for them. The dinner will be served from 11:S0 to 2:S0 noon and from 6 to g in the evening. The price--a dollar plate seems merely nominal, considering the feast, and the dinner will add much to the jollity of the day.
