LOW PRICES RULING ON TOBACCO.
 The question is very prominent one among tobacco growers: Why has the general price of tobacco dropped so low
 With damaged crops it might be ex- pected; but good crops are not selling for over eight cents. In the Connecti- cut Valley where 200 or near that price is the rule 1t is selling for 10, l2 and 13c in the bundle. Where so much is laid out in fertilizers, it means a serious loss to these growers. Low prices seem to be the rule. It is agreat disappoint- ment to all growers and must seriously affect the acreage another year, but this of itself will not materially affect prices. There are various reasons assigned for it but all are agreed on which now will control practically the the whole market. This gives such degree of uncertainty as to prices that smaller dealers dare not risk the prices formerly paid. What the final effect will be upon future prices remains to be seen. Most probably it will be to grind down prices to that limit where it can be raised with little or no profit. What money there is in it will go to bloat the stockholders. Some think the Union has affected prices, as now every man who assorts must belong to it, and any packer who employs non- union men cannot sell his packing, and a union man who assorts for non-un- ion packer will. be expelled from the

There was an exciting accident at Southbury, Wednesday, in which Con- stable Tilson paid heroic part. Just as the passenger train pulled out of the Pomeraug depot the horses of James Boyce, attached to the Wood- bury stage, dashed up the track ahead of the engine. They ran about a:quar- ter of mile when one of the horses fell through the ties on the overhead bridge. The other horse fell on the rails, but fortunately did not fall to the roadway 12 feet below. Constable Tilson, who was on the train, is a practical horseman and :under hls di- rection and with the assistance of Charles Osborne and Alanson Bennett, the horse was finally pulled out of the perilous position. Strange to say neither horse was seriously injured. The train was delayed 40 minutes by the incident. It was due to MT Til sons good judgment that the horses were saved.
