OAKvILLE HAPPENINGS

r < i E a E
 Some unknown rascals recently en- tered the schoolhouse on Main street at night for the second time within tie last few weeks and strewed books, pen cils, papers, etc, on the floor, and also took away what knives they found. The teachers and in fact all those more or less interested in the school affairs, are very much provoked at such base behavior and would do all in thelr power to have the guilty party duly. punished if found out.
 A carload of lime and cement has arrived at the local station for Emile Bissemez's new house. The plastering will be commenced next week by Lotus Loughi and his men of Torrington. It is believed the house will be ready for occupancy before April 1.
 MT and Mrs Grenier's little girl, of Davis street, recently fell against a sharp piece of wood, making bruise on her head about an inch deep. She was immediately put under the care of a physician.
 D. Stoddard of Falls avenue recently attended the funeral of Mrs Peet, his sister-in-law, in New Haven.
 Yesterday an unknown man had his horse frightened by the train in front of the drug store. The animal be- came 11nmanageabIe and dashed the sleigh from one side of the road to the other. Three or four milk sleighs were little ahead and as the ro~ is not very wide under the railroad bridge, the fugitive animal, not having room to go by, jumped on one of the sleighs md then fell to the ground. The horse did not get hurt, however, and nothing was badly damaged.

VIRGINIA HARMED.

Vih61N1A 7E1AhNEDs
 The engagement of Virginia Harmed Monday evening at Polls is a most notable one for several reasons. One is the remembrance Of the shocking treatment accorded Miss Harmed when she appeared i'll "Iris'' last season at Poli's and the interest to see how this treatment will be reversed on this oc- casion. Another IS the fact that this play she is now to present is new comedy written specially for her by her husband. EL H. Sothern, under the title of ssThe Light That Lies in Wo man Eyes" and the assumption by Miss Harmed of the role of a vivacious Irish gentlewoman. Tn the course of the comedy there is rehearsal scene of Shakespeare's "As You Like It." during which Miss Harmed appears in the traditional costume of Rosaiind, thus adding a new and special charm to her role. Seats will be placed on sale tomorrow at %, 90, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

Foreign Visitors.

"I am glad to see that the Commercial club is making an active effort to induce the Manchester Cotton Spinners associa- ton to visit Birmingham when it comes to this country next spring" said prom inent citizen Birmingham Is well ad- vertised and representative foreigners who visit this district never fail to find much that interests them.
 Tt is to be regretted that the British Iron and Steel institute, now in this country, did not receive formal invita- ton to include Birmingham in its itiner- ary. The institute Is composed of exoep- tionally able and influential men, many of them being world famous in iron and steel making. This organization visited Birmingham fourteen years ago, accom- panied by Andrew Carnegie. and every man in the party expressed his high ap- preciation of our resources and of our hospitality These Britishers would have been only too glad to have visited the district again had they been sufficiently urged After spending some time in New York, Pittsburg, Cleveland and other northern centers they sail for home next week"

Bird Shooting Weather.

'Yes, l am going out to take a few shots." said w. R. McGavock yesterday, as he exhibited three boxes of shells which he had just purchased. "When this weather as cleared off 1t will be great for bird shooting. The birds have had a dry spell In which to raise the young broods, and now the dogs can track them with ease. After a rain the dogs can smell much better. and we ought to have some great sport During these long dry spells in the fall it is very difficult for dogs to smell on account of the small fragments flying from rag weeds. The rain settles that trouble and the birds leave much fresher trail"
 Many other sportsmen are making preparations for hunting Just as soon as the rain is over, and within ten days the quail will have a hard time lodging the shots from those who aim straight. The others scare them equally as bad. It Is reported that there are more quail this year than has been seen for the last de- cade
