For the past few days the ice on tho
Harrington river has been sufficiently
strong 10 bear the weight OF those who
cared 10 try their luck ct catching cells
through holes cut in II and many OF tho
local fishermen havc taken advantage OF
the opportuuity. The cells are quite
rltntiful and they are running in good
sizes.
They seem TO lie In places on the river
bottom and every little while some for
tunate fisherman strikes a place In the
mud where they are thick. and In short
time has a good catch to his credit
The greater part OF the roads Of the
town have now been placed In psssabis
condition and some OF them are In very
good shape. The snow is worn down on
many of the highways so that the sleigh
ing is good. and every day there is quite
a number out for a sleigh ride. This
is especially true In the evening. when
many handsome turnouts are seen hyins
throuRn the town 20 the acccrnra ntment
OF sleigh bells
Several -eighing parties from other
towns have passed through here on the
wav 20 warren and Bristol. some OF them
being aft IN one large sleigh and some
in > number Of smaller ones.

ing or one session.
Mr.. Morrissey wanted 70 submit the
proposition to the parents Of the children
attending the Liberty Street school, orer-
ing TO vote for one session ~ the majority
favored such plan. He did not believe.
he said. that the parents or citizens ia
vored such plan for eleven and twelve
year old children. Dr Hall objected 10
this. stating that all the time that wns
necessary had been given TO the matter.
Rev. IA. y. Cady spoke In favor OF one
session. He referred TO other schools In
the county that held one session. saying
that both the one and two sessions had
been tried I'm Bristol, and the one session
had been proven the more beneficial for
the parents and the scholars alike. Other
Members spoke on the question, and II
was voted not 10 defer action Messrs.
Hall. Cady. watjen and Cutter voted for
one session and Messrs. Morrfssey, Fau-
teux and Champlin against IT,
There is a general feeling that one ses-
sion i'm the high school In very acceptable
TO all those concerned. but tbe feeling
against holding one session In the gram
mar school is very strong. not only by
those who have children In the school. but
by citizens IN general, and many are OF
