the age of twenty she had entered the
kitchen Of q Boston family, and there
she had reigned for fifteen years.

Of the household in a firm and tranquil
way.
When the family returned in the fif-

she announced her intention to marry

POLYGAMY IN NUTMEG STATE.


Rev. h. L. Hutchin, Says Plural Mar
riaEe Exists in State.
Rev. II. L. Hutchins, who has been
making tour of that State in the inter
ests Of the Connecticut Bible Society,
read paper at a meeting of pastors in
New Haven that startled his hearers.
Mr.. Hutchins said polygamy is practiced
in the eastern part of Connecticut. The
degeneracy of the inhabitants of the
town referred to, Mr.. Hutchins said, was
productive of murder and other crimes.
Another feature of life in that section
and in the northwestern part of the State
was the existence of class of illiterates.
The speaker thought the inefficiency of
the country school was largely respon-
sibzle for such conditions, and he believ-
ed the church was not holding its own in
these districts.

o,,- Barring the matter i
Cnl6dQQ bad freight conditions,
which hits every western

which hits every western
point, the outlook is extremely favora-
bic. The spring trade is opening up
well, and jobbers and manufacturers re-
port the business so far secured of a
volume larger than at this time last year.
A uniform degree of activity pervades
the mercantile field, and while the grain
trade has not been heavy, but rather
under that of last year, the bank clear
ings for the week were large. Prices are
being maintained on the staples, and
neither in the leading manufactured pro-
ducts nor in country produce has there
been the easier prices that had been ;e-
dicted some weeks ago. Merchants re-
port collections good, even better than
last year. Bad debts are rare. Country
merchants are buying freely yet are not
overstraining their credits.
The good milling outlook has been an
important influence for frmness in wheat.
1t Is remarkable that the market has held
SO well against continued depressing re-
ports. Since Argentine began shipping
new wheat, she has thrown about 5.OOO.-
600 bushels into Liverpool. The trade
realizes in full the bearish import Of
these figures, but so far has refused to
be disturbed by them. There is a big
winter wheat acreage in our own coun-
try, and the growing plant is doing well.
The recent cold weather did no damage
SO far as can be learned. as it was pre-
ceded by u heavy snowfall that gave
protection. There are many other bear
ish features, yet the bears have made lit

think wheat legitimately worth the pres

on every decline. The bear
ish features will no doubt have effect il
they remain, but meanwhile let any DAM

Miles Over the Ice.
A party of travellers has arrived at St.
John, N. B., after a thrilling experience
on the ice. The party was led over thir-
teen miles of foes from an imprisoned
steamer to Pictou Island and thence to
the mainland by two young Boston wom-
en-. The steamer Mimic, which runs from
Nova Scotia to Prince Edward Island,
became icebound. Among the forty pas
sengers on board were two young women
named Dent. who had received word that
their parents were dying in Boston.
When they realized the situation of the
Minto they expressed determination TO
start for the mainland on foot. Another
young woman and four young men were
willing to join them. The suns rays
on the ice were binding. and after the
party had struggled along for several
miles one of the young men sank from
exhaustinon. The remainder of the dis
tance, however, was covered, although
the young women were Obliged constant
ly to assist the exhausted man. After
remaining on the ice forty-eight hours
the Mimic managed to work herself free.
She then ran over to her sister ship. the
Stanley, which has been imprisoned in
the foes longer than six weeks, and put
forty tons of coal on board. The Minto
has arrived at Georgetown, Prince Ed
ward Island.
